But when l saw her stately house,
She seemed beyond my reach.

ONE guy came home intoxi-
Gated and picked the bears
claws up in his hand and Started
petting it. He thought it was his
wife and told her she ought to
cut her finger nails.
WHEN he received no answer
he looked at the rug, saw the
scowl and asked her what she
was sore about.
THEN he kissed the bear good
night and went upstairs to
bed.
THE only thing that made him
realize his mistake was that
ne didn't get talked back to.

wife didn't argue, with him in
the house was when he wasn't

BY SISTER CONCERN
Standard National Buys
Banking Trust and Mort
gage Company.

Negotiations have been concluded
for the purchase of the Banking.
Trust and Mortgage Company by the
Standard National Bank. effective
with the opening for business tomor-
row morning.
1t is the intention OF the Standard
National to operate the banking Of
flee at 1909 II street northwest as the
uptown branch of the Standard, with
an almost entire change of personnel.
The Banking, Trust and Mortgage
Company was organized about two
years ago, with 5000, 900 stock, a par VAL
ue of $40 share, sold at s25, the added
$5 a share being for organization and
promoters expenses.
1t Hns Deposits of S22O.OOO.
For some time negotiations have
been under way to dispose Of the COM
pany, overhead charges and some un-
fortunate connections making a
change desirable.
Deposits Guaranteed.
One or two other would-be buyers
made bids for the corporation, but
his approval to the plans advanced
by the STANDARD National Bank and
with the required permission to
maintain the banking Offices as a
branch.
Deposits of the Banking Trust and
Mortgage Company are guaranteed
by the Standard National dollar for
dollar.
At the same time the Standard Ma
tional assumes the lease and acquires
the fixtures. furniture and other GER
tain assets.
1t is understood that William Nor
ris will be added to the clerical
force of the uptown branch, with
the title of assistant cashier. and
that he will probably be made mana
ger at later date.
A. S. Gardner. president Of the
Standard National Bank, proposes to
give much of his time to the branch
bank in the immediate future.
The Standard National Bank is one
of the younger, progressive institu-
tions of the city, housed on the
corner Of New York avenue and 9Th
street northwest. 1t has a capital
of 100000. a surplus of $4,000 and
deposits of $1,000,00O.
Oficials of the bank believe that
the establishment of the branch is
necessary to care for increased busi-
ness and to accommodate uptown
customers of the parent bank.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Bonds were

trading over the counter than in the
prices quoted on the exchange Deal

new commitments and anxious to
tighten the load taken on last week.
The trouble seemed to be that gen.

be plenty of money for new offer

F MILWAUKEE,. Wis. April 10-The

becoming tired of further delay in
closing negotiations.
