The Speed of Animals.

According to naturalists, no animal
is known to have exceeded the speed
attained by the famous race horse
Sysonby. instantaneous photographs
show the full length of one complete
stride as about twenty-six feet In
the stride of the fastest racers the
hind quarters and the limbs are raised
considerably higher than the shoulders
and from this relatively great height
brought downward and forward, wide

sportsman says, Ito avoid striking the
fore legs" The hare which Is hunted
with fast hounds has not in reality the
speed of the dog. The dog, on the
other hand, does not attain the speed
Of the horse. The giraffe is said to
run at the rate of fifteen meters yards
per second under the most favorable

rate of two yards a second, carries a
weight approximating that carried by
six horses. -IIarper's.

THE HYDE PARK
SAVINGS BANK
Passed the TWO and One-HaIf Million
Dollar Milestone January list

On the 21st day of January, 1889,
the Hyde Park Savings Bank opened
its doors to the public, On the first
day of January, 1913 its assets were
S2,515,910.9S.
For twenty-four years it has been
a leading factor in the development,
progress and growth of every bust
ness enterprise, within it's legitimate
sphere of business, which has applied
to it for financial assistance and
backing
In these twenty-four years We have
passed through two monetary bust
ness panics, panics so severe in the
financial world that the great MAORI
ty of the banks of the country were
compelled to withhold financial aid
to those who asked therefor.
But during all these years the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. has never declined a loan
asked for by any business interest of
Lamoille County, or, indeed, of any
other County in Vermont which could
legitimately expect to be cared for by
this bank.
1t has been a pillar of strength
which has never failed in times of
direct financial stress.
Ii extends its kindly greetings
to Vermonters everywhere as II
commences its twenty-fifth year of
substantial progress, and suggests
that when you have any surplus
money to deposit at per cent.-all
taxes paid by the Bank-you make
your deposit with the Hyde Park
Bank. feeling the fullest assurance
that in so doing you vii place your
money where il is safe beyond
reasonable doubt.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
has an earned surplus OF S97.3l2.35:
its capital and stockholders liability
is S100,00000 so that before any de-
positor could suffer a loss, the bank
would have to lost S19734235.
That such a loss Is entirely i'm
probable is evidenced by the fact
that in the twcnty-four years Of the
banks existence Sc has never lost a
dollar By a poor note and believes
that today every dollar of its assets.

bonds is good beyond a reasonable

The Dread of Death.

Granted that it is the will Of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, ii is essential
that mankind should feel the dread of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled. The
dread of death is to the soul what the
law of gravity is TO the body. 1t an
chors us TO the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep us to
the globe half mankind would be driv.

two men drifted into conversation.

of Tess of the d'Urbervllles," and

character and personality of the writer
of TESS" from what he called the
internal evidence of the story. His
listener at times mildly dissented, but
on the whole maintained an attitude Of
impassivity.
