1t Wasn't a Hymn at All.

Some few years ago an aged min
lister was conducting church and dur
ing the service, it being the custom at
that time for the minister to read a
chapter and then sing a hymn where
upon the congregation would join in.
He stopped after reading a chapter
and picking up the hymn book, said:
my eyes are dim and / can scarce
ly see to read this hymn" The con-
gregation thinking 1t the first lines
of the hymn sang after him. The
old preacher getting exasperated,
cried: THAT wasn't hymn at all;
/ believe the devil is in you all. +"
While they were singing that he
made a grab for his cane and fed.

To Whom 1t May Concern.

In justice to the manufacturers we
will say that the new brick silo built
by the Mason City Brick and Silo
Co., through F. ID. Banning, agent,
has not crushed down or cracked as
is being reported. The only fault
being owing to poor cement used,
the hood and top carrier will be re-
built and put in first class condition
as the factory guarantees their silos
superior to any made regardless of
material

A Very Natural Conclusion.

The teacher was explaining the
meaning of the word "ex-president"
to the little folks and told them that
it was man who was formerly
president, but had retired to private
life. The next day the class was
asked the meaning of the word ex-
port. A little hand went up. "Well'
said the eacher, what is the mean
ing of the word export?" Its a
teller that used to be sport" replied
the young American.

CASHIER ALONE GUILTY OF
FAULTY ROOKKEEprNG

Vancouver, b. c., March 31.--B. r.
ONeil, former Idaho banker, who Is
resisting extradit;on. took the stand
today and testified that imperfect
bookkeeping by the cashier of the de-
funct State Bank. of Commerce of
wallace was responsible for making
1t appear that money taken by O'Neil
was not properly his own.
Mr.. O'Neil said that he had every
reason to believe, up tI the day tho
bank suspended, that it could tide
over its difficulties, as he always un-
derstood that the Day brothers who
We're wealthy mining men, would see
1t through. In connection with the
Lane Lumber company, which had an
overdraft of about $13O.00O from the
bank. he said Mr.. Wall, one of the
directors. had gone to New York to
float bond issue, but just at that
time the great Occur d'Alene forest
fires occurred and 1t was impossible
to float a timber bond of any kind.
Finding the bank in difficulties he
said. he himself had turned over to
assist II ten sections of timber In
Preston. b. c., which he valued at
500. 900 to 100000.
He had turned in city property val
ued at from $1,000 to $4,000 and
mining stock and bonds worth any,
where from $4,000 to $4,000. He
had also turned over $4,000 acres of
irrigated land on Spokane prairie.
This left him "broke'' and he had to
borrow money to get ont OF Wallace.
I'm 1909 and 1910 + believed my
self to be worth in equities and as
sets about 5000 said Mr.. O'Neil.
