Her Secret.
One day a pastor was calling
upon a dear old lady, one of the
“pillars” of the church to which
they both belonged. As be
thought of her long and useful
life, and looked upon her sweet,
placid countenance bearing but
few tokens of her 92 years ot
earthly pilgrimage, he was moved
to ask her: “My dear Mrs. S„
what has been the chief source
of your strength and sustenance
during all these years What has
appealed to you as the real basis
of your unusual vigor of mind
and body, and has been to you
an unfailing comfort through joy
and sorrow? Tell me, that I may
pass the secret on to others, and,
if possible, profit by il myself.”
The old lady thought a moment,
then lifted her eyes, dim with age,
yet kindling with sweet memories
of the past, answered briefly:
“Viet uals.”
j She Provided a Substitute.
I A very pretty young woman
had been asked to dinner by the
j mother of a young man who mi
mired her very much.
While waiting for dinner lo be
announced I he four-year-old
niece of the young man came in
to the room and climbed into the
lap of her uncle, of whom she
.-■■emed ''cry fond.
The young lady said eoaxing
ly: “Gome, Mary, give me a kiss.”
Hut Ihe child hid her face on her
uncle’s arm. The young woman
urged the child to come to her,
saying again: “Won’t you give
me a. kiss?”
'J he little girl said: “No, I
don’t want lo.”
Thin she brightened up and
said: ’ Tilde Fred, you do if.”
To the Public.
\\V hereby announce lhal we
have retired from I he banking
business and have transferred
our banking department to the
Valdez Bank & Trust company,
for whom we bespeak (he good
will of the public.
