Steady Progress Past Fiscal Year--Thrift Campaign Resulted in Gain of Over $2,000,000 in Deposits--Large Increase in Earnings. Earned 11.14% on Capi- tal Against 7% Last Year. In its annual statement for the fiscal year to May 81st, 1917, the Home Bank shows that rapid progress has been made during the past twelve- month period, The Home Bank has for some time past been strengthening its organiza- tion and the benefits it has derived! therefrom are shown in the growth and expansion of the genera' business of the bank, a healthy growth in deposits and an ability to carry out its éntire share of all Government financ- ing brought out during the year. In addition, it is evident that with its | resent effective organization and con- | nections, the bank will be able to play! a still more prominent part in the financing of Canada's industrial 're- | quirements in the post-war period. The confidence the Canadian pale have in the Bank is reflected by a gain, of over $2,000,000 in deposits, hes now reaching a total of over $12,600,- 000 compared with $10,133,735, the same time there has also been a very large gain in deposits by and balances due to the Dominion Govern- ment, as they have advanced to $3,- 860,355, as against only $500,000 the previous year. With the larger business which the bank has handled, there has been a gratifying increase in the net profits which amounted to $217,059.57, equiva- 'lent to 11.14 per cent. on a paid-up capital as compared with $133,406.26 | in the previous yéar.

Next to a man-eating tiger re is nothing that the natives of India dread more than a rogue bison. One of these beasts frequented a hillside in the Western Ghats near which Mr. Edwin L. Arnold, who tells his ex- periences in the Cornhill Magazine, had camped. The bison slept-in the woods during the hot hours, , and came out.to feed only at morning and at night. One day it chased and near- ly killed the wife of a native. "Unless the sahib helps us we shall all be killed," the people complained, and Mr. Arnold, determined to kill the bull, set out at dawn the morning. He followed the jungle path up the hill for a mile, and there climbed a lookout point and sat down to wait for daylight. Half an hour had gone by when he looked to the north, and there, not a quarter of a mile away, standing on a rocky bluff, a huge form was silhouetted against the sky. Just below where the hunt- er was sitting ran a shallow nd two hundred yards course grew a clump of bushes. Sliding into the watercourse, the hunter crawled,on hands and_ knees}, until the bushes were between him and wi bison. the peeped through the bushes, The bison had gone. Thinking that his quarry must "ts on the other side of the bluff, Mr. Arnold ran to the summit; but the bull was not in sight. For several minutes. the hunter lay breathless looking this way and that. Then he turned round and saw the huge bison glaring at him only thirty yards distant. The hunter fired hastily. The bul- let struck high between neck and shoulder, and the next minute, with a tremendous bellow, the bull charged full tilt. He came down in a storm of dust and rattling stones; as there was no possibility of cover, the man waited until he was nearly within arm's reach and then jumped aside. Unfortunately his foot- slipped, and, as the animal went blundering by, he ll heels over head. The beast shot past fifteen yards or more before it could pull up. The man came to a stand first, and opening the breech of his rifle, slipped in another cartridge. Teach him to take care of his shoes. three minutes "Nugget" gives a shine that will last all day.

Then, catching his breath, the man in the, breast and the animal fairly reeled. But he charged again with extraordin- ary swiftness. The hunter aside and the beast lunged at with his horns as he passed. As the| bull floundered by, another -- shot struck point-blank behind his ear. He went down with a tremendous thud, turned over, kicked once or} twice and was dead. That evening there were great re- joicings in the village, no end of chat- tering round the big fir tree, and a great amount of drum beating and garland weaving. teen ANCIENT CANOPUS FOUND.
