Al VILLAGE TALE.

Miaa Eiviro Eunice Parker.
Single lady--by desire
Years aKo was quite determined
What she'd do In case OF fire.
Thus Bhe reasoned: IT would dress me
Wholly without perturbation.
Gather up my chief belongings,
Bee TO Tabitha's salvation.
From Its hook take down the parrot.
CHEEKY partner OF my iaborB;
Then I'd raise my chamber window
And alarm the sleeping neighbors."
Well, one night a IRE started
As Miss Parker slept. The smoke her
Chamber filled. and presently the
Sunfocating smell awoke her.
Did she do as she had reasoned?
No; she quite forgot her scheming.
And with Bhrieks she reused the neigh
bors
From the sweetest of their dreaming.
She threw vases from the window.
Tabitha her own salvation
Had 10 seek out, while the parrot
Used q word that ends with -ation.
When the neighbors came they found
White robed figure wildly screaming.
All the fire was soon extinguished,
But she kept on loudly calling:
Fire! Firel Fire. Fire!"
In q manner most appalling,
And the neighbors. having stopped her,
When they finally departed
Left Miss Parker, single lady.
In the ruins broken hearted.

70 SAVINGS Bank DeDOSitOVs.

The Lamoille County Savings
Bank & Trust Company OF Hyde
Park, Vermont, will receive your
deposits on the most favorable terms
consistent with safe and conservative
banking.
Among the many reasons why you
may properly give this bank the
preferences in choosing afplace foi
depositing your savings il suggests
the following:
FIRST The Bank is Vermont
institutions Aside from its deposits
in reserve cities, it has never loane |
do!larnpoi notes which were not
either secured upon Vermont prop
erty Or had strong Vermont
guarantot.
SECOND - In it's more than
twenty-five years of existence it has
been so painstaking, conservative
and careful in the investment of
funds placedAwithin its keeping by II
confiding public that it has neve,
lost single dollar by bad note.
THlRD--It pays four per cent.
interest, compounds semi-annually
without action on the part of the
deposition, and pays all taxes on
deposits, whatever the amount of
the deposit may be.
! FOURTH--lts managers are men
known. to people of the State as
ultra conservative in matters of
investments--men who never specu-
ate on Wall Street or own specula-
i've stocks of any kind.
FIFTH-Absolute safety and not
those high rates Of interest which
can be secured by taking chances,
has eyer been the guiding principle
of this bank. 1t never owned note
uponHwhich it received more than
six pericent interest.
SIXTH-It has now passed the
TwvMillion Dollar mark in assets,
ia fact which speaks louder than
words of the faith and confidence
fell. by the people of Vermont in this
strictly ,shome Savings Bank. No
other Savings Bank located in a
small village like Hyde Park,
approaches the Hyde Park Savings
Bank in growth, a fact which cannot
be explained upon any other theory
than that Of absolute confidence in
the painstaking watchfulness and
sound Judgment of the men who
direct and govern in the investment
Of the funds entrusted to its keeping
BY a discriminating public.

Vermont Needs Waking Up.

Again there comes the report that
the Boston & Maine railroad, shut out
OF it's Vermont connections by few
members of the late General Assem-
bly, supposedly under the magnetism
of some peculiar Power, is going to
build from Windsor to White River
Junction on the New Hampshire side
of the Connecticut river. There is
great woe in Cornish, N. H.. opposite
Windsor, where the new line will cut
through some of the estates of the
New York colony Windsor, we un-
derstand, isn't overpleased, and YER
mont as whole is loser.
Perhaps the magnetized members
of the Legislature who are RESPONSE
BILE for the present situation have not
heard the last of their shortsighted
action. Only one or two have attempt
ed the least defense. Interest is not
waning, however, and the people win
want to know why every request of
the Boston & Maine was ignored,
where the pressure came from, aud
why the Grand Trunk Central Yer
mont, which has always been given
a fairly free rein in the state without
much return for favors extended, is
entitled to perpetual and monopo-
listic franchise.
Vermont is entitled to better rail-
road service than it has been receiv-
ing and any Legislative action that
defers the happy day should have
the severest condemnation. The time
honored but otherwise foolish and
unreasonable custom Of passing
around the Offices to the good fellows
in Republican county conventions is
largely responsible for most of the
Legislative acts of SURPRISING unwis-
dom, and the railroad situation to-
day demonstrates that fact. We be-
lieve the people are getting inter-
ested, and are tired of the old order
of things, and that one or two more
Improbable sessions of the legisla-
ture will bring about wholesome
change. ~
Vermont cannot grow and develop
her resources by narrow Legislation
and indifference to it's would-be
friends beyond her borders. The
State needs more workers and more
capital, and in return it must open

elect representatives and senators less
susceptible to influences hostile to
the interests of the State.
