HIS LoNc.pElAYEp PROPOSAL.
French Story Of Note In Bouquet That
Was for Years Unanswered.

One OF the longest delayed proposals
on record is related in French story
OF SHY young subaitern who was or
dered away to the wars. Not daring
to speak, he sent nosegay OF yellow
roses TO the girl he loved. with little
note inside begging her, II she re.
turned his love, to wear one of the
flowers in her breast that night at the
ball She appeared without II, and he
went away broken.hearted.
Years afterward, when he was a
lame old general, he again met his
old love, now q white-haired widow.
One day his old sweetheart gently
asked him why be had never married.
Madam" he answered somewhat
sternly, you ought TO know best II
you had not refused TO answer that
note in the bouquet OF yellow roses
might have been happier man" THE
note in the bouquet" she repeated,
growing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from drawer q shriveled bouquet
OF what had been yellow roses, among
whose leafless stalks lurked a scrap OF
paper yellow with age. See! | never
had your note" she said, holding the
bouquet UP. III had would not have
answered It as you fancied." Then
answer 1t now" said the gallant old
soldier. And the long delayed pro
posal was accepted at last.

GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS.

The cause IL growing. Oklahoma,
Nebraska and Texas now have COM
pulsory systems for theprotection of
depositors in state banks. In Texas
the state bank can choose between
joining the compulsory system and
giving individual security, but so
far every bank that has acted has
decided upon the guaranty system.
In Kansas and South Dakota yoluu-
tary systems have been adopted,
while in Colorado, Arkansas and
Indiana the guaranty bill passed
one branch of the Legislature.
Attorney General Wickersham
has delivered an opinion 1.-THE effect
that national banks are at liberty to
insure their depositors, and insur-
auce companies are already being
organized for that purpose. The
fight made last year has had its in
iluence, and in spite of Republican
opposition to the plan, the protec-
ton Of depositors is comiag. The
Republican leaders hade taken the
side of the big financiers, but even
the big financiers will in the end he
compelled to yield to the just de-
mand of the depositors for security,
And so another Democratic doc
trinc Is being vindicated. The Dem
ocratic party has something to he
proud of when ii can, even in defeat
control public sentiment and force
its ideas upon areluctant opposition

THE MARTYRS OF
INDUSTRIAL DEFEAT,

Early in the morning of Memorial
Day delegation from Mr.. James
Fad, How's organization of the un-
employed visited the vast pOttcr's
field of the city on Harris Island, to
put Il few flowers on the graves OF
the nameless poor.
1t was an act full of noble and
pathetic suggestion. Memorial Day
has been dedicated to the fame and
the affection which the nation cher
ishes for those who have voluntarily
suffered for 1t.
But there is something which
touches the heart of religion In this
homage done to those who have suf-
fered in brokeuness of spirit-this
humble tribute paid by poor aud dis
couraged men to proverty and de-
feat.
In no more touching and poetic
way could the reminder he brought
to us that life as 1t is actually lived
in our modern social and industrial
conditions is fiawed with cruelty
that the economic struggle which 50
preoccupies our minds IL, In some of
its aspects, pitiless warfare.
One In ten of those who die on
Manhattan Island is buried on Hart
Island ut public expense. And in
the last forty years the bodies of
los, 900 persons have been thrown in
to those trenches Of oblivion and de-
SPAR.
Surely this awful toll of human
disappointment and heartbreak is
not wholly inevitable. And the un-
employed men who have taken pains
to remind us of the tribute due to
this great field of unhonored death
have for II day been very well en-
ployed. New York American.
