A Pleased Savings Bank Deposition.

There is no county in Vermont, in
deed, hardly town in the state, OF
a state in the Union, that does not
make deposits in the Hyde Park

The unprecedented growth Of that
institution is the result of Two
things: first, confidence; second, sat

Everybody is well treated at that

Ask your neighbor who deposits
there and see If he does not vouch
for the truthfulness of this state
ment.

Sitting around the camp fire,
the dull glow lighting their cold,
sun-browned faces, told them
the story of the day. l saw a sim
lister smile play over their strong
faces, for they had always wanted
my brother and me and they got
us.
We joined the Long Riders"
and for two years we went as
wild as March hares. We had
many narrow escapes and pretty
rough work at times, impossible
to relate. Many things were
charged to us of which we knew
nothing.
On the first day of October,
1897, FIVE of US stopped the SOUTH
bound passenger train on the
Rock Island at a siding between
Minco and Chickasha at 1:55 a.
m. We attempted to rob the ex-
press and tailed and then ordered
everybody out on the right-of-
way, lining them up against the
wire fence, where we proceeded
to take up a collection for travel
ing expenses.
During the next two months,
things were awfully hot. Hun
dreds of men and officers were
burning the woods" Finally, on
the first day of December, 1897,
we rounded up at the Spike S
ranch, staying all night. About 9
o'clock next morning, Mrs. Har-
less brother, Dutch" went to
the barn for a bucket of water.
He stayed SO long Mrs. Hairless
went after him.

Wornan's Section of the Paper
DRESSING CHILDREN'S HAIR.
Comfort and Health Are Matters Of the
First Importance.


The matter Of comfort Is one that
every mother does we'll TO study for
the sake Of young nerves. Many a fur
rowed forehead is traceable to a meth
cd Of hairdressing that is a constant
irritation to child, and there are 9TH
er ways in which a deleterious effect
is traceable.
Sensitive sight Is very much influ-
enced by Grant tresses that are con-
stantly obtrudlng themselves. for
which reason the straight cut fringe,
which is infinitely becoming to little
girl with a high forehead, should. II
worn, be kept well and neatly cut. so
that Ii never gets into the eyes"
At about TIE age Of thirteen il may
be necessary TO do away with the
fringe. The penalty OF keeping it in
definitely as an item Of the couture
scheme is that 1t is difficult to alter the
dressing quickly.
The hair must have time to grow,
and when it Is in the unmanageable
between stage, neither long enough TO
be turned back nor short enough to be
plastered down over the brow. it must
be tucked beneath the hair band or
lightly curled and be trained backward
by degrees.
1t is made the rule In some nurseries
that the little girls shall not have their
hair dressed constantly in the same
manner. because it is not good for it
always to be parted in the center or al
ways To be. finished with band of rib
bon. a resource in such a case is the
side parting. with a small bow at one
side.
