A Two Million Dollar Savings Bank

In July 1907, the assets of the La
noble County Savings Bank and
Trust Company of Hyde Park, Yer
mont. passed the Million Dollar mark.
On the 3lst day of December 1910,
they passed the Two Million Dollar
mark.
There is probably no parallel for
such phenomenal growth in the
Savings Banks of any of our Vermont
villages, and we doubt very much If
Il finds parallel in the villages OF
any other state.
There can be but one explanation of
this wonderful increase, and that is
the abiding and unlimited confidence
of the people of Vermont in the absol.
ute safety OF the Hyde Park Savings
Bank.
And why should not the depositing
public feel safe with reference TO
their deposits in this Bank? They
know that in the twenty-five years OF
its existence, the management has
been so conservative, so painstaking
and so careful, that not single dol
lar has been lost by poor note in
all lneSe years
It is results that tell.
The fact that no depositor has ever
,ost a dollar In sending money by mail
TO this bank is a practical guarantee
of the absolute safety of banking by
mail, If sent either by Postal Money
Order. Express Money Order, Person
al Check, Bank Check or Registered
Letter
The bank pays per cent interest,
compounds semiannually and solicits
continuance OF the confidence so
generously extended during the past
twenty-five years.

SCALP WAS BADLY Affected

Il am more than gratified by the
successful results | obtained by the
use of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales.
Ny scalp itchea terribly at times and
my hair fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandrur
that had fallen from my head. Ny
profession being that of barber,
was particular about having my hair
in good condition, and was also in a
position 70 try many lotions. etc. for
the scalp These had little or no eff
feet / had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that | resolved to
try them shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice week and
after drying my head thoroughly,
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. | was pleased from
the outset. and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and oue-half boxes of Cuticura ONT
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
I have now got thick growth of hair
and I am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching of the scalp. There
is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me I frequently
recommend them to my customers,
and they think a great deal of them"

Greeley Halter of Hypocrisy

Greeley had been in the box but a
few moments when. apparently, he
fell sound asleep-to the great dis
tress of both Grisi and Mario. whose
singing, so far as they could see. made
not the slightest impression upon the
senses of the Tribunes editor. And
1t was noticed that not even the APP
plause which followed CRISIS first
song. nor subsequent outbursts. served
to arouse him from his somnolent at
titude.
BY the time the opera was over
poor Grisi and Mario were almost be-
side themselves with disappointment
and despair-they had failed to make
an impression upon the great Horace
Greeley-there would be no favorable
word of their initial appearance in the
Tribune. the fount of praise most
sought for by operate singers of the
time. Yet what was their great de
light when, upon picking up the Tn
bune in the morning. they saw there
in a glowing criticism of their per-
Torrance. and what was more, a most
favorable editorial comment thereon.
containing a graceful word OF con-
graduation for the great singers.
They wondered. of course, how the
edit2 of the Tribune could have writ
ten anything at all about them since
he slept at the opera. They were not
acquainted with one of Greeley's pc
culiar characteristics. In the horse
cars, in hotel Hobbies. in church, he
dozed soundly. apparently, yet his
friends always noted that nothing es-
capped him. The better to listen or to
think, it was q habit with him to
close his eyes as II In sunderland
in a horse car, for example. this habit
never caused him to be carried be-
yond his destination.

Now" continued Mr.. Hill, after .
moments pause. Il don't want you to
give me definite answer today.
and let me know your decision tomor-
row morning"
The next morning Judge Parker In
formed Governor Hill that he was
still of the opinion he had held the
day before
Very well; will not urge you fur
ther," Mr.. Hill said. There is now
but one thing TO do, and that is to
nominate Bird s. Golfer"
And several weeks later. on election
night, Governor Hill was more than
ever OF the belief that had Judge
Parker been his party's candidate for
governor, he would have been elected,
for Coler was defeated by Odell by
only eight thousand plurality.
Two years later, when Judge Parker
was nominated for the presidency by
the Democracy. he was reminded Of
the chat, here made public for the
first time. which he had with Governor
Hill, and his reply was that the NOM
ination for president had come to him
without his having raised his hand
to secure 1T, and that he was % the
opinion of one of the statesmen OF
an earlier day, that the presidency
should neither be sought nor declined.

Abandoned His Favorite Hotel In Az.

Liquors on the Sly.

Horace Greeley was a man who
hated hypocrisy.
For some time Greeley's favorite
hotel at Albany, n. Y, when he called
there on political errands as & mem
Der of the famous political firm OF
Seward, Weed and Greeley. was the
Delavan house. Suddenly. one day.
he changed his headquarters to the
Stanwix hotel. Said the proprietor of
that hotel at a time when Greeley was
his guest:
You observe that the great Hor-
ace is patron of my hostelry? Well,
l got him as guest in this way: The
Delavan house was started as a tenn
perance house. But Greeley. during
one of his visits there, discovered that
no guest need go thirsty. provided he
could make the right signal to the
proprietor.
"One day Greeley came in here and
asked me If l was the proprietor Of
this hotel and when l told him l
was. he asked: DO you keep whisky
"'Yes, l have very good whisky l
replied
do you also keep brandy?'
Ives. I have a very choice stock
of brandy
well, do you keep champagne?
Yes, have champagne l re-
piled
We'll. said Mr. Greeley. and there
was an unusual twang in his voice. I
don't want any OF these things my
self. but l have made up my mind 1
would rather stay with a hotel pro-
prietor who is honest enough to say
that he keeps liquors than to stay
with one who pretends to be a tenn
perance man and who sells strong
drink on the sly"
Greeley was a great lover of the
opera In 1854 Grisi. in her day the
most famous of operate sopranos. and
her husband. Mario. who probably was
the greatest tenor that ever sang in
Italiana opera, made a tour Of the
United States. They appeared first In
New York at the original Academy of
Music. but prior to their debut they
were told that 1t was Of the utmost
Importance to the success of their
American tour that they secure. II
possible. favorable criticism OF their
debut in the columns of the New
York Tribune. As . preliminary to
that end the representatives of the
great singers saw to II that a. seat
for the performance was assigned to
