Signs on Some of the Most Noted
Havana Streets Reflect a Trans
planted Aristocracy.
There are many curiously named
streets in llavniui. litit perhaps the in
terest of the tourist is no oilier way

the old thoroughfares. The coinioinet:

Despite the na::ie. the mini for
whom O'Keilly sirett. or to give it its
Cuhan title. Calle O'Keilly. is called,
was a Spanish snliject hearing the
title of count, and he was one of the
first of the Ioiik line of captains gon
oral who ruled Culm for a period of
80 years, lis ancestors left their na
tive heath after the battle of the
Boyne, migrating to Spain, where they
were ennobled for services to the
crown.
Although an aristocrat, the first
O'Keilly was not averse to becoming
a moneymaker. He engaged In the not
very poetic monopoly of delivering
beef from the slaughter houses to the
various markets, which monopoly was
handed down for several generations
from father to son.

HEARD OWN BURIAL SERVICE
Dying Millionaire Had What Might Be
Called a "Rehearsal" in His
Bedroom.
When Mr. Parker Mason, a shrewd
and level-headed millionaire of the
United States, was on the point of
dying a few years ago he conceived the
quaint idea of having a rehearsal of
his own funeral service in his bed
room. He called in a Presbyterian
minister, and a few members of the
church choir, and the full service was
rehearsed In his presence and that of
his family and a number of his friends.
The clergyman preached an eloquent
and touching sermon on the virtues
and charities of the dying man, and
the choir sang appropriate hymns. At
the conclusion of the service, which
the millionaire had followed with the
closest interest and attention, he warm
ly complimented both clergyman and
choir on their performance, and after
dismissing them sent for an under
taker and made the necessary arrange
ment's with him and had a personal in
terview with thi pall-bearers. He died
ten hours later, and was buried with
the same service to which lie had lis
tened when alive. Montreal Herald.
Where the Fault Lay.
As the Irish police recruit strolled
along on his first turn of night duty,
loud yells of "Fire" rent the air. He
bolted quickly to the spot, and found
a house well alight, with a man half
hanging out of an upstairs window.
"Help! Help!" he yelled. "If I
jump, will you catch me?"
"Sure, an Ol will!" replied the po
liceman readily.
So the man jumped, only to crash to
the ground and He there stunned.
When, a few minutes later, he recov
ered consciousness, he looked up at
the constable reproachfully, and mur
mured feebly:
"I thought you said you could catch
me?"
"Begorrah!" replied the Irishman.

Egyptian Women Prospering.

Guns on Airplanes.
One of the Inventions of the great
war was the art of shooting a machine
gun through the propeller of an air
plane without danger of hitting the
propeller blades. The French aviator,
Itoland durros, was reported to be
the first man to employ this device,
which was used by hundreds of air
fighters throughout the war. Before
that time the machine gun was
mounted above the aviator so as to
fire over the propeller blades. Ma
chine guns may also be mounted In a
revolving turret or In the rear of the
airplane. The Browning machine gun
will fire 20.000 shots at the rate of 000
per minute.

A recent issue of the Morrisville Messenger made an er
ror unitentional, of course in giving the State valuation of
the stock of the Lamoille County Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany at $50.00 per share, when as a matter of fact, the valu
ation was $220.00 per share.
This erroneous statement of the Messenger purely unin
tentional affords an excellent opportunity to place before
prospective depositors a fact as to the exceptional strength of
the Hyde Park Institution.
The managers of the Lamfoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. feel that they have great reason to be proud of the
standing of the Hyde Park Bank, because with only three ex
ceptions and those banks have been in business many years
longer than the Hyde Park Bank NO BANK IN THE STATE
RANKS AS HIGH, ACCORDING TO THE VALUATIONS
PLACED UPON ITS STOCK BY THE STATE OFFICIALS AP
POINTED TO MAKE THE APPRAISALS, AS THE HYDE
PARK BANK.
What is there in state valuation of bank stocks that is of
interest to depositors?
We know of no bank in Vermont today that is not respon
sible, but the depositor generally makes a deposit 'with the ex
pectation that it will remain in the bank for years and he may
properly ask: "Is the bank where I think of making my deposit
exceptionally strong? Are its affairs conducted by men who
make 'safety first' their guiding principle and motto?"
What is there in the State appraisal of bank stocks which
evidences the comparative strength and stability of the differ
ent banks?
Under the laws of Vermont the State Bank Examiner is
called upon to make a rigid investigation of the affairs of each
bank twice each year, not only to assertain its strength, but in
cidentally to decide upon the valuation at which the stock of
the bank should be placed in the grand list.
If the Bank Examiner finds that the mcv.agers are reck
less; are careless in making their investments; u he finds that
the managers of the banks are speculators or gamblers or that
they are unfit to manage and control the savings of their de
positors, then the depositor naturally looks further and says:
"It is my duty to place my savings not simply with a good bank,
but with the safest and best bank of my acquaintance."
The State Bank Examiner, the State Treasurer and the
State Tax Commissioner constitute the State Board of Apprais
al. They decide, as to the solidity and strength of the bank
and especially as to its surplus and the character of its assets
and having taken into account all these facts, they place a' val
uation upon the stocks of all the banks in the State and only
three have been found by that Board to be entitled to a higher
valuation than the Hyde Park Bank.
This can mean but one thing and that is that in the esdma
tion of the State Board of Appraisal, the Hyde Park Bank
stands for fidelity, for stability, for safety and for conservatism
If in the opinion of the reader, the foregoing facts prompt
the selection of the Hyde Park Bank as a place of deposit for
a portion of his savings, that Bank will welcome both additions
to his former acco'unts and the opening of new accounts.
