DONTLET RUMORS BRIGHTEN YOU

the fact that certain parties are offer

posits and pass books from people that
have money tied up in the Americul
National bank While the Times-Re-

The young man sat in the parlor below
And contemplatively eyed his toe,
His polished patent leather toe,
For he'd waited and waited and waiteI
so
And the clock on the mantle licked 50
slow.
Outside he watched a rosebush grow
To a mighty bush from a shrub 50 low.
And as he waited his head would go
Nodding and bobbing to and fro.
His hair that was black as the wings
of a crow
While he waited had turned as white
as snow
The long hours dragged but this faith
full beau
Just waited and waited and waited be-

Twas a shame to keep him waiting SO.
At length when his long beard swept
his toe
And aching and stiff he rose to go
A vision in pink with cheeks aglow
Beautiful hand-painted cheeks, YOU
know,
Stepped under the soft candelabra's
glow,
With tango slipper under each toe,
And a skirt that was slit Just as high
as they go,
And she asked in a voice that was
tender and low,
'Hey-o; l didn't keep you waiting Ions,

affairs OF the institution are in bad
tangle, but it is supposed that the as
sets of the bank exceed the deposits.
The strongest argument in favor Of
holding on to pass books is that there
are men, and wise fnanciers at that,
that are willing to risk their money in
buying the seemingly bad deposits. Un-
less they were reasonably sure that
they were going to reap a handsome
reward they would not be SO. anxious to
