OUR STRENGTH is evidenced by ample cash capi

OUR SERVICE by every banking and trust facility

No less than these, however, is our DESIRE TO
PLEASE.

threw a dollar across the Potomac.
He spent several hours looking for
the dollar and was quite happy for
a while, but even that ended in dis
appointment at last.”
ADAPTED.
(From The London Opinion.)
"And a very suitable bride for you,
too, old chap.”
“Why?”
‘•Well, yiou say she has brains
enough for two.”
HOW WE SINNERS ARE DISCOV
ERED.
(From The Detroit Free Press.)
A woman knows a lot of things
about a man, and the worst of it is
that most of them are true.
REMEDY SUGGESTED.
(From The Newark News.)
The theater orchestra was having
a hard time, lor so thought the ine
briated man in the front row. He
leaned toward the leader and whis
pered :
"Shay, friend, try anuzzer needle.”
STALLED AT THE START.
(From The New Orleans Picayune.)
A budding genius that has been
fnost bitten by neglect never fully
recovers.
“You know Who he is?”
“Yes,” replied the other, “he is
worth a couple of millions. Is just
out of college; was educated at Har
vard.”
“Oh, no,” rejoined the first speak
er. “He wasn’t educated at Har
vard. He went to school there.”—
Springfield Republican.
ANOTHER GLASS STRUGGLE.

‘IGuess you’ve only seen shim out
side of home.”
INCURABLE.

Proud IMother—Such enormous
sums that we’ve spent on dear Cla

He (masterfully)—I don't propose
to be trifled with!
She—-Why did you, then?
HATING A TRIP TO EUROPE.
(Fnorn The Detroit Free Press.)
Europe! Not for us this year
No passage are we booking,
Those French and German lines, my
dear,
Have most outrageous cooking.
There is no pleasure any way
In continental touring,
The constant travel day by day
Is quite beyond enduring.
In Italy it’s much too hot
And England’s often chilly;
We think in summer those who trot
About the globe are silly.
The nouveau rich may think it fine
To spend a month in Rome, or
Travel up and down the Rhine,
Thank goodness, though, we know
more.

We’ll stay at home this year and
rest
Away from folks who lord it;
“We think so, too," replied her guest,
‘W’c also can’t afford it.”
NERVE.

the brick? We’re keeping all little
mementoes of his youthful pranks."
SEEKING JONA
“Surely," the man exclaimed, “you
.don't believe that Jonah was swal
lowed by a whale?”
“I do,” she answered. “When I get
to heaven I’ll ask him about it.”
"But suppose he’s not in heaven,”
said the man.
“Then you ask him,” the girl re
plied.
BAD, WORSE AND AWFUL.
(From The Boston Transcript.)
Within an inch of space in his lat
est story, Bernard Capes treats us
to these three comparisons:
“His face was as white as a drain
ed veal.”
“He gave a scream like a runover
woman.”
“He staggered back with a sob
that was wrenched from him like a
hook from a fish’s throat.”
HIS LOSS OF INTEREST.
(From The Washington Herald.)
“My husband doesn’t care for
sight-seeing."
“Then nothing interested him on
your trip?”
“Only the spot where Washington
