The Oklahoma Way.

The following report on an
Oklahoma bank failure shows
the way they do things in that
Democratic commonwealth:
''The international Bank of
Coalgate was reported to the
bank commissioner by one of his
examiners a few days ago for
violation the banking law of the
State, particularly in its manag-
ing officers borrowing from the
depositors' money.
'The bank commissioner at
once visited the bank in person
and found that the total deposits
were about $37, 900, of which the
president, L. A. Connors, owed
over Sc, 900, and the cashire, l..
Ely, owed over $4,000 in other
words, about thirty per cent. OF
the deposits had been borrowed
by the two managing officers.
The bank commissioner demand
ed that they Immediately replace
the money. They failed to do
so. He closed the bank at 2::15
Thursday evening; telephoned
the state banking board; received
instructions to Immediately pro-
coed to pay all approved deposits.
In forty-two minutes from the
closing Of the bank the bank
commissioner was ready to pay
approved deposits. By Friday
evening six per cent. of the de-
positors had appeared, proved
their claims and received their
money. By the end of the sec
ond day ninety per cent. of all
deposits had been paid. A few
depositors who live in the coun-
try don't seem to be in any hur-
ry about drawing their deposits.
One farmer is reported as answer
ing over the rural telephone that
he is too busy to come after his
money, but will want it in a
week or so.
In the meantime both the
president and the cashire have
been arrested for the violation
of the state banking law, and
are held under heavy bond.
There will probably be no
loss to the state guaranty fund,
and no assessment required on
other banks. Liquidation will
likely reimburse the state fund
within thirty days. The loss
will probably not exceed the
capital stock"

One man was killed and eight
or ten passenger were injured at
Lofty, Pa, by the wrecking of a
Pennsylvania passenger train
which is believed to deliberately
have been derailed by the spik-
ing of the tracks.

Because lie Loves Her.

A young man not many years
ago began calling on a girl; he
kept her out on the front porch
late at nights; he made life a
torment for her if she looked at
any other man; and finally he
married her.
He is poor and her father is in
fairly good circumstances, so
that for the first time in her life
she began to taste privation and
self-denial. She cooks for him,
cleans, sews, mends and slaves
for him and their two children.
Why has this man put this
woman in a position where she
must experience such hardships
in addition to his tyranny?
Because he loves her.
This is a common interpreted
ton of love, the sweetest word
in the language.
Because he loves her, many a
man has brought many a woman
down to a hell, which she has
Loyalty striven to turn into a
heaven.
Woman is so constituted that
so long as she believes herself
loved and appreciated she can
forgive anything and endure any,
thing and still be happy.
A wife is the only laborer on
earth who works for her board
and clothes and is expected to
be grateful for the privilege.
But even she appreciates a trip
and a day off row and then.
The husband who doesn't
economic on expressions of af-
lection or stint his wife on praise
may do as he will without fric-
ton or argument.
So long as he doesn't sink the
lover in the husband he need
fear no rival.
He may forget every other rule,
but if he remembers this all will
be we'll.
Even when the steak is leather
and the bread a cinder he must
merely remark that the meal
isn't quite up to her usual high
standard of perfection and it
doesn't happen again.
Every woman is an idealist,
and she will break her neck try
ing to live up to what she thinks
a loving husband expects of her.
There are worse things than
work.
1t is generally the lonely, hun
gry-hearted women who are try
ing to amuse themselves and
feed their starved lives on the
froth of parties and the dry
husks of club papers.
Sitting alone at night waiting
for a husband to come home
doesn't thrill woman bit more
than it would a man.
But any woman can be. broken
of the club habit or the society
habit by a husband who will stay
in of evenings and try to enter
tain her in a spirit of love any
thing like that of courtship days.
