Wooltex is the best known line of women’s wear in america-

Stafe Bank Hes Done
At the end of the first vear of
it’s history, the American State
Bank made such a good record
that it’s growth was commented
upon by several bank journals,
prominent bankers and individu
als, Sept. 28th, 1911 marked the
end of the first yeal.
Since Sept. 28th., the bank hes
added many new customers, has
madge puraerous leaps b 0 ¢ood,
substantial farmers and has steadi
ly increased in average deposits
begirning the ““Busy Season”’ with
¢-twicz” as much on deposit as it
had a year ago, new stockholders,
new customers in additioa to the
original stockholders apd custo
mers and ss a patarzai course in
business, the bank begins the Cot
ton Season with much brighter
prospects than it did a year ago.
What did we do a year ago!?
The increase in deposits frcm
August Ist. to Qctober Ist., was
$42,000 or 89 per cent. 'Total de
posits were $89,000.
We expected to do well, bat

, Elackguard.
The board of green clcth Is respon
sible for inventing ‘“blackguard,” a
word that has strangely altered in
meaning. In early time its was by
no mez2ns a term of reproach, but
referred to the lowly but honorable
czliing of carrying cozl in the king's
household. Is there any other bad
word in the English language that
can boast of such a royal origin?—

Unsuccessful Experiment.

A Chicago worman had her husband

was fined Is. and 9s. costs, or seven

Let George - Eliot speak: “The

PATHOS IN PARIS PAWNSHOP
French Marquise Bequeathes $20,000
to Be Used to Redeem Pledges
of the Poor.
The Marquise de Guerry has be
queathed mearly $20,000 to the city
of Paris for the redemption of small
objeects pledged in the state pawn
sheps by the poor.
The legacy has its origin in a visit
paid one day by the marquise te the
chief depot of the Mont de Pieta as
the staie pawmbroking establishment
is called in France, where her atten
tion was attracted by a silver chris
tening set, consisting of a krife, fork
and spoon, such as is given to a child
on its baptism or first communion.
The set was tarnished with age and
the ticket showed it had been imn
pawn for half a certury.
The marguise was told that regun
larly for many years since 1860, when
the little christening gifi was pawned,
either the father or the mother of the
recipient had eome and paid the tri
fling interest on the pledge, doubtless
a relic of a dead child. Each year the
mo-n or his wife was a little older, a
little shabbier, a little sadder, but the
interest was punctually paid.
Then the man ceased his annual
visits and only the woman came, un
tit she, too, failed to appear. Neither
was ever seen azain, and the little
christening gift remained in its wrap
ping getting blacker and dustier until
it was seen by the Marquise de
Guerry.
TO RESTORE GARDEH COF EDEN
Sentimental! Featurs Connected With
Great Irrication Project in
Asgiatic Turkey.
The restoration of the Garden of
Eden is a gentimental featvre of the
great irrigation prcject by which Sir
Vrilliam Willeecks hopesg $o bring back
the early fertility to a great region
in Asiatic Turkey. The country bor
dering the lower Eupkrates and Tigris
rivers was long a center of prosper
ity and wealth. It was made to flour
izh by extensive irriga‘ion works. the
ruins of which still exist, but the land
is now barren by drouzht, though
much of it is swept by ocecasional
fivods. The enginsers propose to re
construct the ancient works om anm
enlarged and improved pian. They
have found a depressicn in the des
ert, into which the overflow from the
Eupbrates can be led, ard they ex
rect to be able to regulate the Tigris,
though this is a more dificult feat
that the ancients never fully accom
plished. The probable great produc
tiveness of the deita of the two rivers
vnder suitable irrigation is indicated
by analyres showing the soil to be
richer than that of Egypt or the Su
dan. It is believed that the Garden of
}Eden will be feund just north of Ur,
at. the ancient junction of the Tigris
and Euphrates. TUr is supposed to
‘have been a maritime town, but its
‘remains are now six miles west of the
'Euphrates and 125 miles from the sea.
} Craw! on All Fours to Get Tall.
A man’s orzans ard those of his
‘bones which are not subjected to
pressure grow continucusly until he
is forty years old; that is to say, the
‘bheart should become stronger, the ca
pacity of the lungs increase, and the
brain should develop steadily until the
fourth decade of life. Also one should
wear a larger hat at the age of forty
than at thirty. A man ceases to grow
tall, however, at the beginning of the
third decade, beeause after that time
the downward pressure exerted by the
weight of the body while in the erect
position compresses the vertebrae, or
small bones in the spine, the discs of
cartilage beiween them, the pelvis
and the thigh bones, and this pressure
overcomes the natural elasticity of the
discs and the growth of these bones.
However, a British scientist contends
that were a man a quadruped and
therefore freed from the Gownward
pressure produced by his weight upon
his spinal column, he would continue
to grow in height for ten years longer
than he does at present, since it has
been found that bones not subjected
to compression increase up to the
fourth decade.
Lepping Off the Ends.
Robert Henri, the noted artist, was
talking at a dinner in Mew TYork,
about the overfinished and banal
work of painters of the Bouguereau
type.
“Leighton, the English Bougurean,
met Whistler,” e2id Mr. Henri, “one
day in Piceadilly. The two men
sanntered through the Burlington Ar
cade talking art. : .
“But, my dear Whistler,” said Leigh
ton, ‘you leave your work so rough, so
shetchy! My dear Whistler, why do
yocu never finish?”
“Whistler screwed his glass into his
eye and gave a fiendish laugh.
“ 7 dear Leighton,’ be said, ‘why
do you ever begin?”
