GUARANTY PLANK THE WINER.

That Rock Island May Go Into Hands
OF Receiver Is Idle Rumor.
1.-THE guarantee OF bank deposits
plank in the platform Of the national
Democratic party is a sure vote get
ter, and is doing more to get votes
for the party in the northern states
than any other plank in the plat
form" said Colonel c. II. Yoakum
yesterday afternoon. Colonel Yoa-
KUN has just returned from a vaca-
tion spent in the lake regions Of
Wisconsin, and is as full of optimism
for the future prosperity Of the coun-
try as he can be, and full of opti-
mism for the election of Bryan and
the Democratic ticket Continuing,
Mr.. Yoakum said: II kept my eyes
and ears open while away from home
and talked to any number OF life
long Republicans in Wisconsin, and
all whom I talked with we're fall
ing into the Democratic column, al
though they had been lifelong Re-
publlcans. The bank deposit guar
antee is the winning plank in the
platform and on that issue alone
people are flocking to the Democratic
standard. II would not surprise me
the least bit II Wisconsin and the
surrounding states went Democratic.
people believe that Bryan has
discovered the preventive Of panics
in the future and are making that
one plank the main issue. All pan
les are traceable to the lack Of con-
fidence the depositor has In banks.
When a deposltor finds out that his
money will be safe, whether the
banks hold good or not safety is what
he wants. The depositor is like any
other business man, he wants to be
on the safe side.
Although Taft and his party are
endeavoring to decry the plank, peo-
pie are not satisfied with the reply
that Taft Is making. l heard sew
eral men who claimed to have been
lifelong Republicans state that they
intended to vote for Bryan and De-
mocracy. The Taft answer to the
guarantee deposit plank is not char
acteristlc Of the man Taft. The Re-
publicans seem to be endeavoring to
evade the issue and not meet it face
to face, and instead of helping the
party, Taft by his answer is hurting
the party"
Colonel Yoakum is expecting his
brother, B. f. Yoakum, down here
in the near future, although the col
onel would not or could not state
when he is coming, but the execu
tive head Of the Rock Island Fricsc
system will be here some time in the
near future.
my brother never notifies me
very far ahead when he is coming
but 1t is about time for him to pay
a visit to this section"
"The colonel smiled when the sub
iect was mentioned of the Rock Is
land going into the hands of re
ceiver such a thing is just wild
newspaper talk, that is ALL" said the
colonel. Worth Record.

A little later through the frosty air
the midnight bells Of Noel rang out
clear. Then at the last, very softly,
from a darkened room across the
court, Lansing Drake heard a verse Of
the old Christmas carol he had sung
at his mothers knee:
The snow lay ON the ground
The stars shone bright
He bowed his head In his hands for
the great gift that had come to him
When Christ our Lord was born
On Christmas night

then the window was lifted. She
threw out some crumbs to some cold
looking sparrows. The last rays Of
the winter sun touched the fine, white
parting that separated the FURNISHED
waves of hair.
II ne only dared speak to her! She
might misjudge him before he had a
chance to show his intentions. But he
would do it. He would seize the mo-
ment While this fit Of madness lasted
and speak to her In saner mood his
courage might be unequal to it. He
hurried out of the room and stood. hat

He held out a card His hand shook
trif1e. But the girl did not notice.
She was looking at him steadily. after
the first start of surprise, the color
coming and going in her cheeks. But

The snow lay on the ground;
The stars shone bright
All, it was the quaint old English
carol, with its liquid, sweet melody,
which he'd learned at his mothers
knee and it was the American girl
across the court who was singing it.
When Christ our Lord was born
On Christmas night.
No wonder the tears came to his
eyes. That particular carol and that
particular girl made up a combination
to which he was bit sensitive If the
truth had been dragged from him.
just that very morning he had writ
Ten home:
There's a little American girl oppo-
Site. l don't even know her name,

lost violin, voice TO make you

From the day when he had first seen
her, watering her geraniums on the
Sill, the window across the court yon-
Ger had become a sort Of shrine. And
At each new glimpse of her an uniform

Presently they went out and hailed
a facre.

So they drove to Marguery's, and
Drake ordered a bouillebaisse ito be

They had very jolly little supper

She was silent while they left Mar

broke out In a queer little voice that
was low and tremulous:

The fiacre rolled into the glare Of
an overhead arc light, and he saw her
looking at him with a half mysterious,
half divine gratitude.

Mothers Coronation Day.

That first Christmas was the moth
er's coronation day. Each recurring
Christmas perpetuates the memory Of
her great glory. In public and in pri
vate celebrations Of 1t hers should be
the central figure. Solemn gladness
akin to the Creators satisfaction in
his very good" work should fill her
soul.
In Mr. Harrison S. Morris beautiful
poem, "Incarnation, we read how
timbered frame" walked in the sun
shine through a city street
Nor knew that out Of myriads one
Beside him saw a shadow run
That clasped the centuries in its shade.
But, like loving spirit, there
In even football at his side,
shadow walked the pavement wide
With Bonded head and humble pride
And angled cross aslant the air.
It was as II the datelsss sun
Forgot the years, the far abode,
And, 10. upon the sordid road
The cross worn Nazarean trode,
Holding the journey never done.
Every mother who holds her baby IN
her arms repeats, unconsciously or con-
sciously, the story of the incarnation.
The blended shadow ''clasps the centu-
ries," past, present and to come, and
eternity itself lin its shade. marion

When MistIetoe Was Banned.

Because of its association with pa
gan rites the mistletoe was for centu-
ries forbidden a place in English
church decorations at Christmastide,
and it was not even mentioned in old
rhymes until the seventeenth century,
In Herrick's time, although the holly
and ivy had for two centuries previous
been the subjects of various poetical
illusions.
