Our Aim in Business
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
winch to judge the security of the
future.

in Hidalgo county Monday after
noon, so The Hee alb learns from

over that part of the county where
it fell.

across and coming hack at ouce,

How That Brownsville Affair Was
Decided.
The passenger who had boarded
the train at Brownsville had ust
got comfortably settled when the
man in the seat back of him leaned
over and touched him on the shoul
der and asked: ,
"Air ye from this town we jest
passed, mister?"
"I air," was the reply.
"Waal, if ye kin give me a piece
o' information it'll be a thunderin'
big streak o' luck, an' I'll be a hull
lot obleeged to ye. How long hev
ye lived in Brownsville ?"
"Jfigh on to forty years. I wua
bom there."
cWaal, now, but mebbe I'm goin'
ter find out at last ! Ten years ago,
sir, me an' my wife wuz ridin' along
here on the keers, an' when we come
to your town there wuz a man an' a
woman hevin' a terrible time. We
could see 'em from the window.
The woman had the man by the
neck, an' she wuz whalin' him fer
keeps, but jest when things wuz
most excitin' the blamed train
moved on, an' we never knowed how
the scrap cum out "
"Did the woman hev red hair, an'
did she look to weigh 'bout 200
pounds?" asked the man who had
got on at Brownsville.
' "She did."
"An' wuz the man a little cuss
with a bald head?"
"He wuz."
"Then I kin tell ye all about it,
bekasc he wuz my. uncle an' she wuz
Ins" third wife. He laid in bed two
days drier she got through maulin'
him thet time."
"Waal, by gum!" exclaimed the
man who had been asking questions
as his jaw fell, and he heaved a deep
sigh and leaned back in his seat
again.
"Whafs the matter?" asked the
other.
"The matter is," he replied, "thet
my old woman an' I hev bin disput
in' about thet fight ever since we
seen it, an' I've alius claimed an'
sometimes jumped two ieet in the
air when I claimed it, thet the little
cuss finally switched his head loose
an' won the battle. Laid up two
days, eh? Waal, drat his hide, I
wish he had bin laid up two weeks
an' had his nose twisted round to
the back of his head!" Judge.
Domestic Philosophy.

what happiness. is till he's married!
Wife I'm glad you've found that
out-at last! , 1 . ,
Husband Yes, and then if s too
late! Heitere Welt.,
