was the third bank established

made a most wonderful history
under the direct management of
Mr.. S. J. High, the cashier. The

The habit of thrift and econo-

turned the pages of her newspaper

the Found column the next day, and
saw that some thoughtful person had
found a sunburst, and she went to

PROVERBS BROUGHT TO DATE
Unlike Those Generally Known, But
Containing a Great Deal Of
Real Truth.

A man with small feet hideth them
not, and she whose hands are well
formed delighteth to play chess.
Why doth the virgin rejoice? Why
readeth she her love letters to her
sisters? Behold, there is a compliment
therein, and it shall not be concealed.
Enthusiastic is women's praise of a
passable damsel; yea, they lift up
their voice continually, saying, Lo, she
hath fine eyes. But when she who
dazzleth mems sight approached, be-
hold thier tongues are hushed, they
whisper one to another in their con-
fusion, confessing her comeliness.
As man with bis first automobile,
so is an old wife with a young hus-
band; she is fond, yet fearful.
The shop damsel extolleth her
wares, saying, Lo, l myself wear this
kind. And the customer smileth bit
terly, and turneth away.
To clever woman, a man without
audacity is a WEAKNESS to the spirit;
and as for the timid one who obeyeth
her, 10, she sendeth him upon errands.
