His Moneys Worth,

An upstate assemblyman went to
local hotel of unpretentious character
a short time ago and said he wished to
rent a room for rs cents, If possible,
and If not, for 81. The clerk told him
there were no 75-cent rooms and that
1t was only on rare occasions that
they let anything for less than $3.50.
1t was finally agreed that the man
should get dollar room, and a bell
boy started him off toward the roof.
Early the next morning the legislator
came down to the desk in a state Of
great excitement. Say" said he to
the clerk, what kind of place is
this, anyhow? Why, in the middle
of the night two great big rats got
out on the floor right in the middle Of
my room and had fight. York

The Simple Life.

The charm of the bungalow is not
in the main due to its little cost or to
convenience of its plan or to its ar
tistic exterior, but to the fact that
there is a great proportion of the
American people who desire to live
more simply and with less convention
than they find necessary in the typical
suburban community, says a writer in
Leslie's. There is probably no one Of
US who does not occasionally long for
a place in which he can wear his old
clothes with comfort, and bring up his
children in the simple and natural way
impossible in the city and difficult in
the suburbs, and it is to this vague
longing for a simpler and less artificial
life that. the great popularity of the
little, rough-built houses We call bun
galows is due.

The Dickens OF a Toast.

The wit of the late DR.. Francis A.
Harris was always ready 1t came
like a flash as, when being told that
Chinaman was about to be ap-
pointed on the police force, he re-
marked, THE Asiatic collarer," and
passed on. At a banquet given to
Charles Dickens the younger, the
chairman inadvertently talking back
ward, referred to the guest as one
not only honored for himself, but
because of his father Then younger
Dickens, in response, dryly observed
that he was glad to see that critical
discrimination had not been lost on
hospitality, and DR.. Harris saved the
situation by rising and proposing a
toast to Charles the Second, who
never lost his head"

The Senior Play

"a Dolls House" will be presented by
the Seniors of the johnson Normal
School, in the Opera House on the even
ing of Tuesday, June 16.
Young's orchestra. of St. Johnsbury Z,
will furnish the music.
Tickets will be twenty-five, thirty five,
and fifty cents, according to location.
Attend and see this remarkable play.
It is remarkable, for in it, Henrik Ibsen
has portrayed with a p,aster hand one of
the conditions found in the society of a
generation ago, and even of today, where
in young wife finds herself in position
of great perplexity.
How has this state of affairs come
about? In the following way: Her father
has treated her as doll, as a bird, as a
toy. He has gratifed her whims; he
has taken great pride in her vivacity
and beauty; but he has never given her
any instruction about her duties in the
home and to society. When she goes to
her husbands home he too regards her
as child to be protected and enioyed,
or song bird to be kept in golden cage,
but never to exercise a woman's reason
and individual judgment, or to be con-
suited on matters which concerns them
both.
So ignorant of the world is she that.
when her father is ill and in need of
money, and her husbands reputation is
at stake, she commits forgery to pro-
tect them both, joyously thinking as she
does 1t that it is her loving hand which
is going to smooth out all the trouble.
The shock which comes to her when
the nature of her act both as SOCIETY re-
CARDS it and also as her husband sees it,
can only be appreciated by attending the
play. Come and see how she breaks
away from the authority which has in
sisted upon being soul and conscience

THE LARGEST SAVINGS

dent of a bank in one of the

writing to a Vermonter, this
Banker makes use of this Ian
grage:

of having the largest financial

is another village of 423 people
which can boast of an institution
which has two and a half million
dollars of assets
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
has more than two and three
quarter million dollars of assets
and not two and one half mil
lions as stated in this letter while
the two Hyde Park banks, both
under the same management and
in the same building, have assets
of more than three and a quarter

The answer is as easy as roll

Vermont is State OF wonderful
thrift. Nearly every Vermonter
puts by a little sum for a rainy
day. Second, the President of
the Hyde Park Bank, Governor
Page, has been a liberal and per-
sistant user of printers ink. He
has never hid his light under a
bushel, and his sixty years of |
successful business life-it will be
sixty years next April-have led
the people of Vermont to believe
that money placed in the Hyde
Park Bank is safe beyond any
oeradventure or doubt; and, so
believing, they send their money
