written by Mss Anonymous will tick

With a do'tor, I'D and gray,
Who told me of alream he had;
I think twas New Years Day.
While snoozihg iuhis office,
The visiOncam, to view,
For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new
Said the angel Tn from heaven,
He sent me ayay down
To bring you u to glory,
And put on on a golden crown.
You've been a'riend to every one.
And workedooth night and day,
You've doctord many thousands.
And from fey received your pay.
So we want yil up in glory
For you haV labOred hard
And the good ord is preparing
Your eternaIjust reward. -
Then the angeland the doctor
Started up 7 glory's gate,
But when passing close to Hades,
The angel whispered Wait,
I've place | want to show you,
It's the hOttet in all hell,
Where the oneswho never paid you,
In torment must always dwell.
And behold, the doctor saw there
His old patieIts by the score;
Then grabbing Up a chair and fan,
He wished fornOthing more
Just content to Iit and watch them
AS they sizzl5 SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on others
Whichever w8 they'd turn.
Said the angel, Come on doctor,
There the pea1y gates see.
But the doctor oily murmured,
This is heavel enough for me.

IDAHO BANKS
SHOW GROWTH
DEPOSITS IN STATE INSTITUTIONS
NEARLY FIFTEEN MILLION

posts in state banks in the history OF

of the prosperity that seems to be
statewide with the close of the old
year.
Today it is estimated there are $780,
100000 on deposits in the state and
national banks of Idaho
This remarkable showing is taken to
indicate by financial men that Idaho
is financially better off now than il
ever was before. The fact that high
prices were received for all produce
that this was a record year for miner
ais, for wool, for lumber, offers part
of the explanation as to why Idaho
should have such a comfortable cash
balance in it's banks.
The last call of the state banking de-
Dartment shows the following liabili-
ties and resources totaled from the
reports of all banks in the state:
Liabilities-Total deposits, $34 1898,

discounts, SAG, 22S.S2; other liabilities,

Resources-Cash, $1,93S,S2S.94; due
from banks. 81, 1866, 394.3S; checks and
drafts, $3.50, 332.5S; cash items, $685.

1851; overdrafts, $46,295; stocks,
bonds and warrants, 1,52O $500; pre-
miums on bonds, $6,S52.15; claims and

Since the call of November 10. 1915,
up to and including the call of Nov.

from 80 to SO per cent in the state
banks
