LOVE UNTRUE.

In Milan and in Mantua
Have lovers sung and sighed:
Full many a maid of Malaga
For wounded love hath died;
In Sardinia and Sicily
Like sorrows they do tell,
And in those towns of Thessaly
That by Peneus dwell.
Of Lancelot and Guinever
The SORROWS were full sore;
With cloth Of gold and miniver
Deep anguish Isolt wore;
And he that sang Of Paradise.
The scholar of Florentine,
Must needs lament that Beatrice
Who entered is therein.
But falsity and fickleness
No victim yet hath found
Like me, who weeps loves brittleness
Even here on English ground;
For crossed in that l coveted,
Denied in that I sue,
My life is fortune-buffeted
And my fair love untrue.

the affairs Of an association are found
60 be in an unsound condition. Ex-
aminer Kidd recommends that the
law should be so amended as to give
the bank examiner authority to take
charge OF the affairs of such associa-
ton, and to make such Immediate
action as may be necessary for the
protection Of the interests of the
shareholders, until a report can be
MADE 20 the attorney general and
action commenced by him. The re-
port closes:
AS will be noticed from the Abb
stract Of Reports which follows. the
assets and liabilities Of the fifty
three loan and building associations
OF wisconsin amount in the aggre-
gate to s3,56S, 44G 05; the total num-
Der OF shares IL force being 122 .022.
Inc primary object OF a loan and
pulldlng association, as shown by
chapter SOS, is the accumulation of
savings, usually for the purpose of
enabling the member to procure a
nome. And when we remember that
the major part of the large aggregate
above named represents the savings
and accommodations Of years of ardu-
Gus toll, it is of the utmost import
ance that these Institutions have
thrown around them every possible
safeguard. The army of honest and
industrious wage-earners who largely
compose their membership, and who
from week to week lay by a small
portion of their earnings for use in
case Of sickness or misfortune, de-
mand that these associations shall be
honestly conducted on correct and ap-
proved business principles. In thi
connection l cannot too strongly urge
upon the directors of these associa-
tons the necessity for a rigid dis
charge of their important duties.
Their examinations of the affairs of
their several institutions should be
frequent and thorough. They should
throw aside the too prevalent dispo-
sition to take it for granted that the
statements of the secretary are cor
rect, since he is believed to be an
honest man and has the utmost con-
fdence of the stockholders. An hon
est, faithful official will court a
thorough investigation Of the affairs
of his association. The official who
manifests a desire to postpone or
avoid such an investigation may we'll
be looked upon with suspicion. In a
word, the directors should direct, the
officers manage, and the auditing
committee audit the affairs of the as
ISOLATION which are supposed to be
under their charge. In no other way
can losses arising through careless
ness, defalcations and illegal practices
be reduced to the minimum.
