tives of advertising interests in the
parlors of the Y. NJ. c. A, it was de-
cided to postpone the exhibition of ad-
vertising till February and 6, Friday

mereial Advertiser, the Bulletin and
Star, Paradise of the Pacific, Chas. R.

Using Co., and Tom Sharp.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Honolulu Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when uri-
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with
all the other symptoms of kidney dis
orders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they may lead to diabetes or Bright IS
disease. The best remedy to use is
Doan s Backache Kidney Pills. 1t

or diseased kidneys. Honolulu people

For twelve long years Calista Thorp
had fought against that grim fate
which had removed her loved ones
within the space of a short twelve
month and left her hopeless aud dry
eyed in the midst OF an empty house,
even now echoing with happy voices
stilled forever.
She was a frail little woman. with
a bruised heart which she hid behind
a cold exterior, defiant blue eyes and
a bitter tongue. All the softness of
her youth had CONCEALED. She was
estrs nged from happiness.
Twelve times since that awful year
had Calista hung the stockings before
the fireplace in the sitting room
mothers warm wooden hose, fathers
large sock. Bobby's two stockings
gaping expectantly), little AIMS white
ones and, last of all, her own limp
black one.
And twelve times had Calista filed
them with shining eyes and swelling
heart. Then when Christmas morning
dawned and she awoke to the bitter
ness that awaited her in the silent
house and in the sight of the row Of
bullying stockings hanging before the
smoldering fire she would fly down to
the sitting room and tear them from
the shelf and empty each one Of its
burden.
The bureau drawers in the slant
rooted bedrooms were filed with the
little treasures Calista had bought for
her loved ones.
Again it was Christmas eve. and
Calista had come home from shopping
Her arms were full of parcels. and the
snowflakes powdered the dark hair
that framed her small pale face
paler than usual. for the young miais-
ter had met her at the corner and
walked home with her.
At the gate be had timidly relieved
himself of burden that troubled him.
He had demonstrated with Calista

one thing, and that is that people are
casting about for security for their
deposits in addition to that furnished
by the individual bank, as witness:
Since the law was passed, state bank
deposits have increased in Oklahoma
from SIS, 200, 900 to $42, 1000. 900, or more
than 139 per cent; while during the
same period national bank deposits
show small decrease. Only one new
national bank has been organized,
while ninety national banks, or more
than % per cent, have become state
banks.
Opponents of deposit guaranty lose
sight of the fact that Canada has had
the principle in successful operation
in connection with her bank notes for
over 16 years. That is, the strong
banks stand behind the notes of the
weak ones
"By the way, about the biggest test
of deposit guaranty in this country
was when the Chicago banks put up a
guaranty fund and paid off the depos-
it's of the Walsh banks. Look into that

/ denying. What right had she TO keep
all for the dead, who could use nothing
she would give them?
Was she not in giving it TO them
boarding it for herself: All of a sud-
den a realization of her true position
rushed upon her with resistless force.
And how long had she shut herself
in this world of her own selfish max
ing? Twelve years.
4 shame came in her heart that she
had all this while taken no interest in
single living being at Christmas
time.
There were the children among her
relatives. the children Of her friends.
but, above all. the children Of the poor.
When she thought Of the many little
ones whom even a penny toy would
delight she was seized with q desire
on this Christmas to wipe out the
stain.
+ The parcels rrttled to the fioor-the
pipe which her father would never
smoke, the soft woods which her moth
er's fingers would never knit. the toys
with which Bobby might not play. the
wax doll which could not afford little
Ann any delight!
The next morning. when Christmas
broke over the world. Calista Thorp
was stirring around her house. Two
great baskets were filed with gifts
from the Overfiowing drawers in the
closed chambers, and Calista's best
cloak and hat lay on the sofa.
The poorhouse was three miles away
on the highroad, and a snowplow had
leveled a broad track to the very door.
So Calista, clad in her best, put on her
overshoes and started forth. a basket
in either hand.
She was quite pale and tired when
she turned into the high white gate
and advanced up fine path, bordered on
either side with gloomy cedar trees.
Dr. Reyes was the overseer of the
CloverdaIe poorhouse. and it was con-
sidcred the best managed institution
of its kind in the state
Breakfast was being served in the
long dining hall when Calista rang the
bell. and when the door opened the
bluff. brown eyed doctor himself stood
before her
merry Christmas, Miss Calista, SO
you are playing Santa Claus this morn
ing. l am glad of that, because some
of my old people are feeling very blue
today"
He relieved her of the baskets and
led the way into the CHEEKY warmth
Of his comfortable Office, where Calls
ia sat down before the glowing stove
and tbawed out her frosty fingers.
When she spoke her eyes were fasten-
ed on the red Goals, and the words
came hesitatingly.

twelve years. Somehow 1 didn't care

Like GUARANTEES Of Deposits.

The people of Oklahoma, however
others may treat the plan of banks
guaranteeing deposits, appear to like
it real we'll When a bank fails there,
as two have done, the depositors re-
ceive their money land no questions
asked" They can go to bed and sleep
soundly, not caring much whether the
bank which holds their money closes
its doors next day or not. When they
compare their. condition with that Of
the depositors of the Mineral Point,
Wis, bank, where the most colossal
failure of the year has taken place.
the Oklahoma people feel like patting
themselves on the back and blessing
the guarantee of deposits law, which
requires banks to do just what banks
require their depositors to do-guar-
antee the payment of the depositor's
money. And why shouldn't banks be
required to do this?
The New York Commercial. which
is opposed to the guaranteeing of de-
positors by banks, prints in a recent
issue a communication from a citizen
of Tulsa, Oklahoma. furnishing some
facts with reference to the deposit
guarantee in that state that are inter
esting and profitable reading 1t shows
that the people of Oklahoma not only
like their plan. bat don't claim any
monopoly on it. The Commercial does
not comment on the statements of its
correspondent, doubtless thinking sill
ence the better part of valor The
letter follows, and is a "corker." The
correspondent enclosed clipping from
an Oklahoma paper announcing that
a new state bank would open Deem
Der I. and says:
Editor New York Commercial: Sir
This makes the second state bank 20
begin business in Oklahoma City since
the failure of the State bank on Sept.
%, which has attracted so much at
tention. Each of the two new banks
has the same capital as the failed bank

fence with the law has demonstrated
