LARGEST BANK
IN THE WORLD IN
A NTRY
VILLAGE

Elmer L. AudlllS vi FtlSuS L ais,
Minnesota, is one of the ablest and
most progressive of the many bright
young men that Vermont has given to
the West to aid her in building up her
new and prosperous cities.
His early life was spent on what is
known as McKinstry Hill in Hyde
Park-one of the highest occupied
areas in town, and we might add
truthfully, one of the beakest, coolest,
windiest spots in town.
Adams is the editor and proprietor
of the Fergus Falls Journal, the lead
ing daily Of that city, and President of
the First National bank, the leading
bank Of that city.
A few months ago Adams happened
to discover the fact that Hyde Park,
his former home, enjoyed the unique
distinction of having within its borders
the largest bank in the United States
in a country village, and he SO wrote
his old friend, Senator Page.
The Senator-who, counting his
hides, skins, banking, fertilizers and
poultry food is probably the largest adj
vertser in the world in a country vii
lage-was quick to see the value of
Adams suggestion from an advertisers
standpoint.
He reasoned, however, that its val
ue would be substantially increased if
it should prove on investigation that
Hyde Park had the largest bank not
only in any country village in the Uni
ted States, but in any country village
in the whole world, and the Senator at
once started an investigation as to the
banks of other countries.
He found from reliable data that il
is only in the the large central cities
that the banks in other parts of the
world have their homes, the banks in
the outlying districts and villages be-
ing only branches of the large central
banks.
AS illustrating this fact it may be
said that there are only banks in
Canada holding Dominion Charters.
but these banks have s,245 branches.
The Senator's investigations were
convincing md showed that HYDE
Park really is the home of the largest
bank in the world, in a country village.
Vermont is not slow in heralding
the fact that she produces more and
better marble, more and better granite
and more and better scales than anv
other state.
May she not now take a iustifable
pride in the further fact that she takes
the lead in the matter of country
banksp
We think this question may be safe
ly answered in the affirmative.
Further than this it may safely be
assumed that SO long as the HYDE
Park bank maintains its we'll known
reputation for conservatism so long
as 1t retains its policy of seeking only
the highest possible grade of invest
ments; so long as it can truthfuly
claim as it does to day, that it hasn't
single dollar of poor assets, it may
rest assured that the good people of
Vermont will see to it that this proud
pre-eminence which Vermont now en-.
joys in the banking line is maintained.
To do this means of course that de-
positors throughout the state having
no local or especial preferences, will
be inclined to deposit in the HYDE
Park bank 50 long nc II nnrr liz LII

midnight? I've been drugged!'
Without a word Jones staggered of
to the kitchens, jim at his heels.
There was always hot water, and
within five minute Jones had drunk
two cups of raw strong coffee.
"Drugged!" he murmured. "Some
n in the house! I'll attend to that
later. Now, the chauffeur!"
But the chauffeur swore on his oath
that he had left Jim and Florence o n
the steps of the porte cochere.
Get I'M" said Jones to Norton, now
fully alive. He could not get 1t out OF
his head that some one in the house
had drugged him.
The events which followed were tc
both Jones and Norton something like
a series of nightmares. In the new
home Of the Princess Parlova a bomb
exploded and fire followed the explo
sion. From pleasure to terror is only
q step. The widest confusion imag
Unable ensued. Most Of the guests
were of the opinion that some an,
archist had attempted to blow up the
house of the rich Pole. Jones and
Norton arrived just as the smoke be.
gan to pour out from the windows. A
crowd had already. collected.
Then Jim overheard a woman mas.
querader say: ''The fool made the
bomb too strong. She is in the room
on the second floor. The game is up
If she suffocates-" The voice
trailed off and the woman became lost
in the crowd. But it was enough for
the reporter, who pushed his way
roughly through the excited mas.
queraders and entered the house. The
rescue was one Of the most exciting
to be found in the newspaper files OF
the day.

v forget that face. She had e
1t that dreadful night when the note
had lured her into the hands Of her
enemies. ~ The face belonged to the
man who had impersonated her father.
It occurred to her that she might
just as well do a little detective work
on her own hook. She had passed
through SO many terrifying episodes
that she was beginning to crave for
the excitement. strange as this may
seem. Like a gambler who has once
played for high stakes. she no longer
found pleasure in thimbles and needles
and pins. She followed the man with
no little skill and at length saw him
approach a knoll, stoop, apparently
press q spring, and a hole suddenly
yawned. The a vanished quickly.
and the spot took on again its vir.
ginal appearance. A cave. Florence
had the patience to wait. BY and by
the mar appeared again and skunk
away.
When she was sure that he was be-
yond range. she came out from the
place OF qconcealment. O crept up the
knoll. and searched about for the magic
handle Of this strange door. Diligence
rewarded her, and she soon found
herself in a large, musty, earth.smell,
Ing cave. Loot val scattered about,
and there were boxes and chairs and
