Innocently Employed
"Men are seldom more innocently employed than when
they are honestly making money." -
Neighbor, is your employment of the innocent kind? If
not, you had better change your vocation.
Is your surplus fund deposited in an institution that is pro
gressive and prosperous? If not you - better change your
depository. V
The Old Reliable has been "innocently employed" for
thirteen years and its policy is to treat its, depositors -liberally
and with uniform courtesy, regardless of the amount of busi
ness intrusted to its care. ' ; .

Dear Ned:
I received yorfr letter last wecV
bat coal4 not answer 'til now.
I'm so disappointed cause you cant
come down soon. Why did yoa
take on that awful suit, when yon
haven't been to see. me in so Ions!
Bat of coarse yoa know best and
I am too selfish to want yoa to
leave all your business and soch a
suit which, - if yoa sain for the
parties, will mean so much to yon.
Now yoa know yoa are not go
ing to be jealous of the Doctor,
and yoa mast not f ass at me so.
I don't know what makes yoa so
cross. . I thought yoa liked me to
tell yoa everything, and yoa mast
not say he had no business to take
me oat on the lake and half drown
me to get to carry me ashore. It
was my fault. And I am sorry
yoa don t want mm to do my
friend for I can't help it now: he
comes here so much to' see 'daddy
and yoa know, and I have, to be
nice to daddy's friends , and he is
often away and there is no one else
to' entertain him.
And yoa don't approve of me
writing a book. , Why, I thought
yoa woald be glad, and I would be
helping yoa, for there will be so
many things to bay for oar little
home that is to be, and, yoa know,
daddy says we most wait till I am
twenty, and that will be three years
yet, and I could write a lot in that
time. Yes, I think I most do it,
though I dislike to do anything
against your wishes; - Yoa see I
want to help yoa some and maybe
t A .
you won I nare to coiner so over
those trying cases, and can take a
vacation this summer. Oh! I wish
yoa could, 'and come down' here
the 20th. One of my school friends
Miss Weesie is coming to spend
a fortnight with me and we have
i - j . .
piannea a camping party lor a
whole week. The Dr. said he
would get old Dr. Guide to see his
patients for him and he would go.
We will have a jolly good time.
Now, do try real hard to get off
and let me know soon for the Dr.
wants me to go with him." '
