NOT OF THE SUPERNATURAL
German Paper Gives Simple ExpIana.
ton Of Circulated Story Con-
corning the Pope.

An extraordinary story about Plus
x. was recently told by a preacher in
one of the churches at Innsbruck. He
said that while the pope was engaged
in prayer he fell into an ecstasy and
rose several feet In the air. Cases of
levitation-the technical word for the
phenomenon-are,o of course, recorded
in the lives Of many of the saints. II
a writer in "Das Neue Jahrhundert,"
a journal Of markedly anti-papal ten
denotes, is to be believed, the tale has
very simple explanation. Plus X,
1t appears, was working in his study,
and happened to require a book from
a shelf which was beyond his reach.
He climbed on q chair to get it. A
servant in an anteroom, from motives
of curiosity, not perhaps unmixed
with piety, happened to look through
the keyhole to see what the pope did
when he was alone. To his amaze
ment he saw the white-robed figure OF
the pontiff floating a couple of feet
above the floor The fact was that
between him and PNs x. stood desk
which hid the chair on which the pope
was standing. 1t never occurred to
the servant that SO great person as
the pope would resort to SO simple an
expedient to get book. Obviously he
would summon cardinal or a cham.
berlain to his aid. Hence he Jumped
to the conclusion that he was wit
Messing a supernatural phenomenon.

RATHER A PECULIAR HOBBY
Chief Executive of New York Said to
Have a Marked Fondness
for Pigs.

"Pigs is pigs" with Mayor Gaynor
of New York. They are his favorite
animals, on foot. Besides raising
quite number himself at his farm
Deep Wells, at st. James, L. l., he 81
ways displays an interest in pigs
owned by his neighbors.
He insists on them raising pigs.
The pigless folk of St. James hear
from him land he uses just as sharp
language in his neighborly converse
ton as he does in writing letters to
rat catchers, etc., and hear from him
often until they annex few pork
ers" as a side line. Several denizesa
of that locale admit they keep a few
pigs just to keep peace In the village.
Once a boy did him a really good
turn and he desired to show his ap-
probation Of the act. OF course the
boy got pig for his reward. When
the mayor goes for his jaunt through
the countryside he calls on all the
farmers who raise pigs. The others
do not receive visit from him.
Whenever he hears that a pig is i'll,
no matter If IL is six miles away, he
goes to see that pig. And he usually
prescribes some home remedy for the
animal. He has been known TO walk
ten miles on the hottest day to visit
an indisposed pig.
When the mayor visits his country
place at the end of each week during
the summer there is always group
of villagers on hand to greet him. AS
he goes among them shaking their
hands, instead of acquiring about their
health, he says: "How are your
pigs"-New York Herald.

Does High Rate of In crest
Mean Poor Security

There are certain uaa. r. l.s-.s
which have coH. t1 b. genera
recognized. When ea -
starts in higher ma.hemal h
taught that there are certain t-.'a-
mental rules called aMoms. as, fer
instance, "the whole is equal to the
sum of all its parts" or "a straight
line is the shortest distance between
two points"
Bankers recognize axioms in bank
ing just as much as mathematicians
recognize mathematical axioms in
Algebra, and one of the axioms in
banking is the high interest rates
mean doubtful or poor security
1t does not necessarily follow that
notes bearing 10 per cent interest
may not be good, but very conserve
tive bankers recognize the fact that
there are risks attending paper pay
ing 10 per cent interest which do not
attend notes bearing half that rate.
There is probably no bank In Yer
mont, and perhaps not one in New
England, that banks on invss ments
paying as low an average rate Of
interest as the Hyde Park Savings
Bank. Its average rate ON deposits,
bonds and notes for the year ending
December 31st, 1912, was five and
forty six one hundredths (5.46) per
cent.
Cities, towns and villages know
that they can go TO the Hyde Park
Bank and get 5por cent. money. The
bank invites correspondence with
Selecbmen and Village Trustees de-
string at any time to make either
temporary or longtime loans.
The Bank carries continuously one
hundred thousand dollars with two
Boston and New York banking
houses at a percent the loan being
strictly on call aau secured by d
pledge Of gilt-cdged municipal bonds,
bonds which are a Iegal. investment
! for Vermont savings banks to own.
| The question may be asked why
the bank pursues this course when it
might just as readily place its
money at six per ceat, thereby en-
aiding the bank to declare larger
dividends to It's stockholders. The
reply is that the stockholders are
satisfied with the dividends which
the bank is able to pay as the bust
ness of the bank is now conducted.
Banks investing in notes paying a
high rate of interest are never able
to say, as the Hyde Park bank can
truthfully say, that in its twenty
four years of. existence it has never
lost dollar by a poor note.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
makes no criticism upon other banks
that believaiJ to be for their inter
est to pursue a different course, IL
simply says to the people Of Yer
mont, If you like our way OF doing
business, we would like your de-
posts. "
1t is perfectly safe to send your
money to this bank by registered
mail, check, postal money order, or
express money order. Units twenty
four years of business, not a dollar
has ever been lost by depositor
sending money through the mail.
The Hyde Park Bank pays per
cent to depositors and pays all taxes.
A statemen! of assets and liabilities
will be cheerfully sent to any one.
