Some Had Inner Stone Walls to Resist

In America the early colonists had
little use for the mason's art, except in
the construction of the huge chimney
stacks which In any dwelling of con-
siderable size and any pretensions to
comfort formed very considerable
part of the structure. The great kitch-
en- fireplace and oven, with smaller
hearths In from two to four rooms on
each door, required very considera-
BILE part of the material and skilled
labor bestowed upon colonial home

In some sections where the dangers
OF an attack by Indian raiders were
imminent. the wooden walls OF the
lower story inclosed stout wall of
brick or kind OF rubbie masonry.
Some of these buildings are still stand

of dwelling and business structures.
Much of the brick and about all the

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS.

Save your pennies and send them to
the Hyde Park Savings Bank
That bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Whyi
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have a little
bank account al their own, even though
the initial deposit is the smallest possible
sum.
Children who commence an account on
penny, nickel, or a dime, often grow
into capitalists later on.
The way to become a capitalist is to
commence now to save the pennies,
