The curse that hangs over the place

had its inception when two young
gypsies, rivals for the hand OF a
daughter Of the tribe, fell out over
their love affairs and fought. The
vanquished one stole up behind his
sleeping rival that night and plunged
a knife into his back. Then he went
to the king of the band and confessed
what he had done.
Whatever the motive which inspired
the dng-whether his heart was with
the murderer or whether he did not
want an investigation by the authori-
ties-he ordered that the body of the
slain man be taken to the knoll near
by and buried.
It was years later that Christopher
Schroers, young farmer, building the
house to shelter the wife whom he
soon proposed to take, looked down
from the roof he was shingling to see
standing at the foot of his ladder an
aged gypsy crone. She expressed a
desire to tell his fortune.
The fates are unkind." said the
gypsy dolefully, shaking her head.

A TWO AND A QUARTER MIL
LION DOLLAR SAVINGS
BANK.

1t seems only few weeks since
we chronicled the fact that the
deposits in the Hyde Pa,k Savings
Bank had reached the two million
dollar mark.
To the average newspaper man,
who does not see much money any
way, it seems like the story of Alad-
din's Lamp TO be told that the bank
reached and passed its two and a
quarter million dollar mark on the
roth inst, but such is nevertheless
the fact.
A million dollars is a big lot Of
money up in this rocky, billy neck
of woods. We wonder if our read
ers realize that it takes twenty-five
thousand FIVE hundred deposits,
averaging one hundred dollars each,
to make two and a quarter millions.
Talk with your neighbor about it,
and he will tell you that he cannot
understand it--and it does seem
almost unbelievable; but since the
bank is willing to pay state tax on
this sum, we guess we will have to
accept the statement as true. The
State will get from the Lamoille
County Savings Bank $I5,75o tax
on this two and quarter million
dollars deposits, sum probably
larger, by considerable amount,
than would be paid upon it were it
left in the hands of those who make
the deposits.
The directors Of this bank have
reason to be proud of the unlimited
confidence shown by the people of
Vermont in this institution. They
evidently think the Hyde Park Bank
safe, and we think there is not little
to the idea that the people like to
deposit their money in bank which
can truthfully say that aside from
money deposited in New York and
Boston as quick assets, the bank has
never loaned dollar which did not
have either Vermont security behind
it or strong Vermont name, or
names. on the note and that in its
nearly twenty-four years of existence
it has never lost dollar by poor
note.
or course, the fact that the bank
pays four per cent, and pays all the
taxes, is great incentive to make
these deposits. News and Citizen.

BAR WOMAN AS LAWYER
Atlanta Student, While Graduating
From College, Is Excluded by
Court Interpretation.

Atlanta, Ga.-When the curtain In
the Grand Opera House at Atlanta
rolled UP, disclosing the graduating
class OF the Atlanta Law school, there
was a general craning OF necks and ex-
cited whispers. For here was q wom-
an candidate for the coveted degree OF
Bachelor OF Lays-a Porto in staid
old Georgia--and the audience rose en-
masse to shout its approval of this in
vasion of the sacred rights OF man.
The climax came when her name
Mrs. Georgia Mcintyre Weaver--in
the course Of the distribution of the
diplomas was called. The little wom-
an, who had sat through the evening
among that dominant group Of men
as unconcerned as though the weight
of her sex was not hanging around
her neck, stepped demurely forward
to receive her degree-"with all the
advantages, privileges and emolu-
ments incident thereto"
But the following morning, while
the balance of the class was being
admitted to the bar, Mrs. Weaver, she
"of the privileged SEX" sat in her
room gazing at her diploma and think
ing of the useless degree that entitled
her to all the advantages, privileges
and emoluments thereto"
For, under an Interpretation Of the
law, as laid down by the Georgia
courts, only male citizens are eligible
to the practice Of law. Mrs. Weaver,
therefore. just because she is a wo-
man. and in spite OF the high standing
she attained In her class. must sit su.
pinely aside.
