there was the shortage of $21, 900. In the
three years of its existence, the concern
lreceived about $4,000 through its "a
branches and main office. Its managers
hold that under the rules the reserve
fund received $4,000 and the loan fund
$4,000. The reserve fund was for the
managing expenses. -
As was stated in The Sun yesterday
morning the Insurance Commissioner has
no power to receive the certificate of the
association. He simply makes his report.
In other States, building and loan as
sociations are under the supervision of IL
banking commissioner, but Delaware has
no banking commissioner and there is
no State supervision of any banking in
stltutlon or trust company, as other State
have. In this State loan associations
are under the supervision of the insllr-
ance commissioner by an act passed i'm

Neither Bret Harte nor Mark Twain,
when they wrote of the Luck, of Miss.
of Captain Ned Blakely, Of Buck Fan
shaw and Scotty Briggs, had any idea
how great they were or even that they
were great at oil. They never dreamed
that these sketches for the local journal
would outlive the week that saw their
birth and at last make the circuit Of the
world, becoming a part of the permanent
wealth Of man. That gives these stories
their inimitable charm. There is none Of
the striving of the funny man in what
belongs to that first period. no setting Of
traps for our admiration. This 10 the
same as saying that there Is none of that
instinct of egotism which prompts a man
to laugh at his fellow. to show how much
wiser and cieverer he himself Is. It Is
all free. generous and bountiful as the
sunshine Of the land where 1t was con.
ceived. full of the spontaneous life of ma
