The first four months of the year have been mark? ed by a large volume of business and the ?ank has maintained the steady growth that has characterized it for the past several years. An examina? tion of the Statement will prove that the First National is doing better than holding its own. The Farmers* Bank and Trust Com? pany gets out a statement on April 2Sth, upon call of the bank examiner which shows a very healthy condition. Its volume of business as compared with the same date 1905, the year It began, shows an increase from one hundred and Ihlrty-elght thousand to marly half a million, about three hundred per cent. Its patronage is suadily Increasing under a liberal but conservative management.

One day a worthy Kulu housewife came out from her cooking and, stand? ing en the ledge of rock at her door, emptied a pan of boiling water into the rank herbage growing below.

Tbe pan followed, an I the leopards downward leaps became longer and swifter as the pan bounded after it fron/ rock to rock. When last seen the leopard bad Just achieved a leap of about 3"0 feet to the very bottom of the ravine, thou sands of feet below, and the pan bad whirled about 500 feet over It on the opposite side.

The woman hesitated in the aisle. *Say,' she said to me, Td like to ask a favoi of you.' " 'What is itr I asked. " 'I've got some shopping to do.* she said.

Some of I he Many Reason* He Has For Tempting Fate. Why does a man marry? Tor many different reasons; but first, last and all the time?because he wants to. I have little faith in the piteous tales that are told describing man as a victim led to the altar. He may marry because he wants a girl's love, or her money, or because he wants a wife; but you can always be mightily sure that wants some? thing. He is no sacrificed lamb. Sometimes a man makes desperate leve to a girl when he has no serious intentions. If such a man gets caught in his owr net it serves him right. The average man marries for the simple reason that he has fallen in leve. That it Is love alone which prompts his wooing is fully proven by some of the ill-mated married couples we see. If an earnest young fellow falls in love with an empty-headed doll of a girl, nothing on earth can persuade him of the foolishness of his choice. He must riarry her and find out from personal experience that she Is not the wife for him. There iu no sadder sight in the world than that of two mismated young people starting out on life's jcurney together. The man might be 1 splendid fellow if married to some woman who understood him and knew hew to bring out his best qualities. The woman might be a splendid wo? man if married to some man who brought oat the best side of her na? ture. Apart they might amount to some? thing; together they are a miserable failure. Su?h domestic tragedies are usually the- result of brief acquaintance and courtship. When a man is about to marry he should look for a mate as well as a wife. Congeniality is the foundation of a happy marriage. Life is not all courtship and honeymoon, you know young people. The stern realities of life must bei i ? faced and accepted. i If you can walk down the years of time as stanch, true companions as well as mirried sweethearts, then you are indeed well mated. A stalwart, athletic Adonis may make a very captivating suitor, but find out il his heart and brain are as well developed as his body before you give your heart into his keeping, little maiden. Don't take the most important step of your life with your pretty eyes j blinded by infatuation. It makes no diffe:ence how hand? some a man is; what you have to think about is how good he is. And no matter why a man marries It is of the utmost importance that he choose a tjirl who will be a wise ane good wife and mother. You may think i certain arirl plain, but wait until yotl l< her face transfigured and beauti? fy ed by love. Most of you many for love, but be sure that your love is well pieced, that the girl and yourself are thoroughly suited to each other. Pe very sure that you can not live v ithout her before you ask her to Dally New York Cotton Market. Op?n High Kay 10 f.-i io 65 July 10 48 1 ? ?' Oot 1 I 28 10 27 Deo 10 22 10 IS Tone?steady.
