braska claim and with her little broth

care for Their mother had been taken
from them only eight months before
her husband. The condition was Il
serious one as they were left very
poor, and there seemed nothing in the
| future sufficiently hopeful to mitigate
their grief Faith, however, true to
her name, did not despair, but went
bravely to work to support herself and
the children. During the summer, with
| Clnts help, she cultivated small
patch of ground, and the winter pre-
viouS had earned small sum by teach
ing short term of school. Realizing
that it would be almost impossible for
them to continue this mode of life for
any length of time, she had written to
her mothers brother, Ethan BARLEY,
who lived Oh a ranch in southwestern
Kansas, and he had advised her to sell
their small property and come with
Clint and Bessie and make their home
with him.
Very gladly had Faith accepted the
offer, but, finding it impossible to con-
vert their few effects into cash, she
left the place in charge Of 4 renter and,
not having money for railroad fare, de
cided to make the journey by wagon

other winter on the claim, and they set
out in apparently good spirits. The

SARCASM FROM IOWA.

Cedar Falls Record: There seems
to be q general desire among members
of county boards and city councils to
atarve the printer out. This condi-
ton obtains everywhere. If the city
council or board want man to shovel
dirt on the streets they expect to pay
the customary wages for it. IF they
want lawyer TO fight a case in the
courts the usual fee that the lawyer
exacts for similar service toward an
individual will be expected. If the
services Of plumber or gssftter are
required the regular rate that such
services command will be paid and no
questions asked. If they want scav.
enger to perambulate at night and
clean out oesspools and the bill for
such services will not be questioned.
It man with a team is wanted to
do duty on q grader they would re-
gard him az q fool it he would do
the work at a lower rate than the
same work commands everywhere.
II they want an engineer, a scrub
woman: man to keep the evil dis
posed out Of mischief, a person to dig
a ditch the usual wages for such SER
vices would not be questioned.
1t is only when dealing with the
printer that the line IL drawn. He
seems to be q kind of an interloper
and 1t Is the duty of everybody to
starve the cuss out If possible. he IL a

State supervision-The Insurance
Of Deposits Regarded as Step In
That Direction.

Des Moines. June 9.-After one OF
the most stirring discussions which has
ever taken place in the history Oh the
Iowa bankers association, the report
of the committee on insurance OF de-
posits to the effect that the American
association be asked to appoint
committee to investigate this plan, was
turned down. The question proved to
be the most vital one of the entire con-
yention, and the motion to lay OH the
table the report was carried by vote
of 116 to a.
For the reason that insurance OF de-
posts under the plan of the committee
meant in the opinion of majority OF
the bankers eventually national super
vision of private banks. it was bitterly
opposed by private bank interests az
though some of the private bankers ia
yored 1t.

County National bank of Glenwood and

ont nv Mr.. Heinsheimer, which, In their
oninion. would guarantee to deposltors'
through government backing, absolute
safety. This would turn rebound TO
the increase in general banking Dusl-
ness, for If depositors were assured an
solutely that the government was back
of a, bank considerable money Wnlcn

would be placed In the banks.
Throughout the entire convention
there was evidence of the jealous
guarding Of the interests OF the private

viewing the trend of things in the same
way. It was this in the opinion OF
some observers, which brought out
such a representative body OF Iowa
bankers, and it was this which caused
the farseeing ones to plead with all the
eloouence of a lawyer and the argu-
ment Of a politician for and against
the insurance Of deposits.
Feared an~Experiment.
The general objection raised. now
ever. was that the bankers OF Iowa ala
not care to father any experimental
proposition. On the other hand, the
most forcible argument advanced in
favor of such provision was the IN
crease of confidence it would bring to
the people. which is recognized as so
absolutely necessary for banking sue
