Many man who never had any
schooling" gets an education, and
often surprisingly good one.
A traveller in Scotland once met a
farmer whose ground rent was about
$50 year and who wrote poetry in
Gaelic that was of q high order.
This same traveller met youth in
Scotland who rode from home on
horseback to the seaport and then
across Scotland to Aberdeen, where he
sold his horse to enter the university.
1t is related of another Scotchman
that he was overheard repeating line
Of Tennyson, whereupon some one ask.
ed him what poet he liked best.
Homer" he replied.
"Whose translation do you read?"
II rarely read q translation" he
said, wiping the fish scales from his
apron. II like best to read Homer in
the original Greek." -Mlnneapol Trib.

Just Escape Fearful Dealt,

Aberdeen, S. D., May Is
While working in coal mine
seven miles from Mcintosh, the
county seat of Corson county,
X. II. Hore and Leo Finnigan
had close call from meeting
a horrible death. A large guam.
tity of coal had been taken from
the mine, and a large ledge had
been left hanging over the
place where the coal is taken
out. Before entering the mine
the two men examined the
ledge aud concluded it was en-.
tirely safe, but after they had
been at work for time, and
had removed quantity of coal,
and the ledge suddenly gave
way without warning. As tie
ledge began to fall, the men
tired to escape, but were unsuc
cessful. Finnigan was buried
up to his neck in dirt, rock aud
other debris, but Hore, fortu
nately, was left with his arms
and shoulders free. He set to
work and after fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes strenuous work cue
ceeded in. extricating himself
from his dangerous position.
He then rescued Finnigan, but
had only poeketknife with
which to work, as the mems
tools had been buried in the
landslide. 1t took him nearly
an hour to rescue Finnigan, but
neither man was seriously in.
jured. The mems escape was
a fortunate one, for if they had
remained where they were
when the ledge began to fall,
both would have been buried
beneath several tons of rock.

WHAT CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
SHALL / MAKE?

This depends much upon the persons
to whom you make them, but in more
cases than you probably imagine, no
present could be made more to the well
fare of the recipient than deposit book
in the Hyde Park Savings bank.
This bank never declines a deposit be-
cause it is small. Any sum from a sim
gle cent TO a million dollars will be re-
ceiyed and per cent. interest allowed,
compounded semi-annually
Remember the bank pays all taxes and
if the donor wishes to qualify the de-
posit by saying it must not be with
drawn until some specified day, as for
instance when the recipient is Is or 2l
years Of age, it is entirely proper to
make the deposit in this way.
Let the pass-book be accompanied by
nice letter from the donor to the re.
cipient, urging thrift and suggesting
that this little nest-egg be added to
from time to time as the recipient has
a few coppers that he or she can save.
We do not need to tell you about the
strength and solidity of the Hyde Park
Savings bank, but if you would like any
facts connected with the bank, write the
president, Carroll s. Page, or the treas
urer, + NJ. Culver, and you will receive
prompt reply.
