| BRAVE MOTHER RESCUES
HER BABY FROM BEAR.
St. Joseph, Mich., July 16.—The
brave act of a frightened mother un
der trying circumstances saved the
life of her child from a terrible death !
near Prescott, Mich. Mrs. Frank
Gray, living a few miles east of Pres
cott, with her family of four children
was engaged in picking berries near
her home when a large bear put in
his appearance, having journeyed into
the open field from his hiding in a
near-by woods.
Fearing the animal, the three older
children ran from the field into the
house and left the baby under a tree.
The bear had picked up the child and
started off with it when the frightened
mother rushed to the house, secured
a rifle, and, taking aim, shot the ani
mal dead. The child escaped with
slight injuries, having been only
{ hugged by the bear.

__
An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient tiling—
good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We
could have had, just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
$500,000. It would not have cost us one cent more.
Whaf our patrons are really interested in knowing is, this
Bank has invested in its business, of ITS OW N MONET
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and iuudvided
profits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL BE PAID IN as soon as we believe it can be safely
and profitably invested.
