A bashful yjoung man of this town
who bad an engagement with bis best
girl failed to call on her the appointed
night, on account of the weather.
The next time he met the girl she
called on him for an explanation why
it was that he failed to fulfil the engagement. He replied that it was
just so cold that he stayed at home
and hugged the stove-pipe all night.
"You don't have to stay at home and
hug stove-pipes," responded the girl.
If that young fellow has as much per-
ceptiveness as a summer toad it will
not require a boiler to explode in his
ear to cause him to promptly resolve
not to hug any more stove-pipes.

of directors of this bank for the last
three years, departed from this life on
the 26th day of December, 1900, at tbe
advanced age of seventy-four years.
Mr. Rockafellow lived in Clare for
upwards of a quarter of a century, and
during that time was intimately indent! fled with the improvement and
growth of the community in which he
lived and held many positions of trust
and confidence, in all of which he
performed the duties devolving upon
him with marked ability and the strictest integrity. Aa a friend he was
genial and warm hearted, as a neighbor kind;and obliging and as a citizen
respected by all.
Therefore, Resolved, that in his
death his family has suffered ah Irreparable loss, the community has lost
one of its best citizens and this bank
one of its wisest counsellors and
staunchest friends, and his absence
from us is mourned by all,
Resolved, that we extend our deepest/
sympathy to the bereaved family and
while .mourning with them in their
deep affliction, we commend, them to
the remembrance of. tbe integrity and
Uprightness of his life a# a solace for
their grief.
