T NATIONAL BAN
Our Aim in Business
L
WE DESIRE to make the First
National the Bank of the
People. The small depositor re-
ceives the same courteous treat-
ment and consideration that is ex-
tended to the largest within the
limits of safe and conservative
banking. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe-
guard known to safe and successful
banking is availed of and our past
success is the best criterion by
which to judge the security of the
future.

THE FIRST NATIONAL is pre-eminently the Bank of the Frontier. Its
stockholders belong here. Its interests are those of our best and most pro-
gressive citizens. We offer to our customers present and prospective the ad-
vantages of the largest capital and surplus of any bank in this section and of the
safe and conservative banking methods which have resulted in the successful building
up of this bank in the past twelve years.
Its financial position is established and the energy experience and business
ability of the management will continue to be wholly directed to the maintenance and
increase of these advantages.

Raised Husband's Rent.
Harlem proudly boasts the pro-
gressive and enterprising Avoman's
rights advocate in a housewife who
introduces business methods into
the domestic circle. Milady is a
trained nurse preferring to practice
this profession to remaining at
home like the conventional spouse.
The husband is engaged in clerical
occupation downtown.
Through their combined savings
the couple purchased a modest three
floor apartment house in the neigh-
borhood of East One Hundred and

author were his absentmmdedness
and his passionate lovo for animals
and the vegetable world. On one
occasion having suffered not long
before from leaving tho key of his
portmanteau behind him ho took
special precautions before starting
on a journey to see that his keys
were in his pocket. When however
he produced them in triumph at his
journey's end he found that ho had
left the portmanteau behind. Lan-
dor though he often handled his
fellow men somewhat roughly hat-
ed to see an old tree felled and even
shrank from plucking a rose. One
morning he collared his man cook
and flung him out df the window.
Then suddenly remembering on
what bed in tho garden the man
would fall the flower loving Landor
exclaimed: "Good heavens! I for-
got tie poor violets !"

Ashamed to Take the Money.
For awhile after little Clayton
was sent to the kindergarten he re-
ceived frequent merit cards. Every
time he brought home a reward to-
ken his mother and father and aunt
and his grandfather and uncle gave
him a penny. Sopn the virtuous life
palled upon him and he brought
home no more cards indicating that
he was a good boy. One day his
grandfather remarked:
"Why is it Willie that you no
longer get merit cards ? Don't you
remember we always gave you pen
nies when vou were good ?
"That's just it" replied Clayton
"I'm ashamed to keep on taking
money from vou." New York
Times.
Wholesome Anyway.
Archdeacon Sinclair in his "Lead
crs of Thought" etc. tells a story
of an Eton head master known as
1' logging' lveatc. I'lnuing one
morning a row of boys in his study
he began as usual to flog them.
They were too terrified at the awful
little man to remonstrate till he had
gone halfway down .the row when
one plucked up courage to falter
out "Please sir we're not up for
punishment; were a confirmation
class!" "Xcver mind" said Dr.
Keate. "I must be fair all around
and it will do you good." So he fin
ished them off.
The First Pina.
Thorns were originally used in
fastening garmenis together. Pins
did not immediately succeed fhorns
I as iasteners out omcrent appu
ances were used sucn as nooKs
buckles and laces. It was the latter
half of the fifteenth century before
pins were used in Great Britain.
When first manufactured in Eng-
land the iron wire of the proper
length was filed to a point and the
other extremity twisted into a head.
This was a slow process and 400 or
500 pins was a good day's work for
on expert hand.
Somewhere beyond the curve of
your world there is an harbor the
harbor of your hopes.
It is a mighty hope that makes
men. And they shine brightest
when like stars they break through
the riltinfi: clouds of fear.
