Whatever may or may not happen
in the future, we are certain to find
our proper level in this life. And we
need have no doubts or fears or scare
ity of faith about it, either A mans
enemies will soon find his proper level

false accusation of an enemy only
sets the righteous mans virtues forth

FEDERAL BANK SUPERVISION.

Says the Globe Democrat: The stock
holders of the collapsed Fret National
Bank of Sedalia have raised a new legal
question in their attempt to evade the
assessment made upon them for the pay
ment of the outstanding liabilities.
They hold that they should not be re-
quired thus to make good the losses that
ensued in spite of the supervision of the
government through its bank examiner.
In other words, they claim that they
were released from liability when the
government permitted the bank to run
along in a bad condition. The plea is a
plausible one, but it is hardly to be ex
help stockholders out of bad place by
such means. There is nothing in the
laws pertaining to the national banking
system which can be interpreted as max
ing the government guarantor of the
absolute correctness of the investigations
of its bank examiners. The fact is no.
torious that such Investigations are
rarely, if ever, thorough and reliable.
Even when the examiner is competent
and anxious to perform good service, he
can be deceived more or less by the Off
GERS of the bank, and his report may
represent condition existing during his
presence only, to be changed as soon as
his back is turned. Deceptions of this
kind have occurred so often that when
a new one happens it does not cause any
surprise.
As matter of fact, all forms of bank
supervision are defective in some re-
spects, and 1T will not do to depend upon
them except in general way and under
favorable conditions. It is only occa-
sionally that federal bank examiner
discovers that bank is in shaky con-
dition, or that some of its officers or en-
ployes are stealing its assets. AS a rule,
such discoveries are made by accident,
or by the confession of guilty parties,
and the persons most surprised are those
who should have found out the facts
long before by reason of their relation to
the business of the institution. There
is constant tendency on the part of the
best banks and other concerns handling
large amounts of money to impose closer
restrictions upon their employees, and to
Introduce more effective plans of super
vision. The directors of all kinds of cor
porations are taking more interest in
their duties and acting upon a higher
sense of responsibility. Much of this
improvement is due to the guarantee
indemnity companies, which have &c
much at stake in the integrity of their
patrons; but there Is reason to believe,
also, that the necessity of self-protection
has led to the adoption of better methods
OF surveillance and detection by private
firms and companies. In due course OF
time, federal bank supervision will prob
ably be made adequate and satisfactory
and until then, stockholders will be OBJ
liged to pay the losses which it does not

SUMMER COSTUMES.
Taffeta Silk and Black Satin for Skirts
and Trimmings

Black satin is fashionable not only
for skirts to wear with colOred waists,
but for collars and belts on any and
over gowns it is used for sleeves, col
lar, belt, skirt panels and double box
plat for the front of any waist, round
or pointed. This is four inches wide
at the top and narrOws toward the
point or belt, with an interlining Of
crinOline. Sometimes the plat is al
lowed to droop a little over the belt
and often las three fancy buttons,
either very small or extremely large,
set on it. When in doubt as to what
to buy to remodel a gown with, use
black satin duchess. Ghangeable taf-
feta silk is used in a similar manner
and either shows in one of the colors
a shade like the dress goods or is en-
tirely in contrast. Black satin, plain
or blocaded, figured taffeta, gros grain,
serge and crep0n skirts are worn
with colored silk and cotton waists.
Tan, brown, green and navy blue
WOODEN dress goods are made up for
Cuc Stti1e plupOSe III SOucI VI OtuSI
styles. The modified Elton or garcOn
jackets are pretty for outing and
pique suits. The new navy blue
shades are lighter in effect. Green is
having a distinct revival, in mixed
goods especially. Black crepon is
much worn, not only for mourning,
but for general use.
White, which was so fashionable
last summer, is always worn, and cool
and pretty suits of white pique, duck
and serge are seen. Made without q
lining white serge is almost as easily
washed as linen or cotton goods and
is one of the prettiest materials for
simple summer wear.

our daughters friends, although such
inquiry must be made with great tact
and discretion. AS to going out in the
evening we often wonder why a girl
is not content to stay at home and
sew, when we should rather remember
the tedium and confinement of the
days work and should encoura &c her
to seek fresh air and friendly faces
outside. There are evils that walk in
darkness, it is true, but a quiet-man-
nered, self-respecting woman seldom
meets with harm; and if she goes to
her home, or to visit respectable
friends, the gain to health and cheer
fulness will far outweigh such slight
risk. And since a quiet, modest man
ner is so great a protection to every
woman, let our maids have a good
example in our own families. Let
them see us train our daughters to
soft voices and gentle NOV ements: let
them hear IS criticize the loud laugh
ter, the forward manner, or the selfish
carelessness of the ill-bred woman in
every station Of life. Such indirect
criticism is often the most effective
This is the mission work we mothers
and hOusekeepers can all do. Tied to
our homes often by little children, by
limited means or by poor health, we
may not be able to attend meetings
or visit for the associated charities, or
even sew for an orphan asylum; but
we can make sure that no girl ever
passes through our homes without
learning something useful, without
seeing hOusework respected, without
the glow of a kindly interest and the
felt influence Of a right view of life
and it's duties. Is not this motive SUI
ficient to make US abolish all the IN
necessary restrictions Of domestic ser
vice and add all the reasonable and
possible attractions to it in our homes :?
