THE FADs Of YESTERDAY.

What" asks the Des Moines Capt.
tai, has become Of the intense desire
for the guarantee of bank deposits? II
is related that the banks of Oklahoma
are organizing as national banks to get
rid OF the bank guaranty on the parton
the state. 1t has not been long since
some people thought the country would
be in danger unless every state In the
union made provision to guarantee
bank deposits.
What has become Of the postal saw
,ings bank fad? We are not hearing
much about it. It is related that the
people have forgotten that the banks
are in existence and that the deposits
in the same are not increasing. A year
ago a mans honesty and integrity
were determined by his position for or
against the postal savings bank. IT he
was against the, scheme, he was put
down as a. horse thief
"What has become of the conserva-
ton issue? Who Is worried about 1t
now?

fads, but they drop them about as soon
as they pick them up. Now everything

but she was plainly pining for ner
home and people.
One evening Mrs. Green and the
noisy dodgers we're away. Over
the house hrooded blessed quiet.
Elsa stole into the parlor and seated
herself at the piano, but her fingers
only rested on the keys, she was not
playing. Her thoughts were sad. No
one in this vast city cared whether
she lived or died. She had not
single friend The tears battered on
the piano keys as she rested her
head against the music rack.
Suddenly, from above, came the
sweet tones of violin played with
skill and feeling. Elsa listened en-
tranced. every nerve thrilling in ap-
probation of the exquisite harmonies.
From the music OF the masters the
player glided into German air dear
to the heart of the homesick listener.
Her fingers automatically left for the
accompaniment, and she softly
touched the keys in time with the
violin. Then she forgot herself and
everything but the music. The old
piano resounded to her hand; joyous
waves of harmony rolled through
the room enriching the air as carried
by the violin. The player changed his
theme. Old German folk-songs. cho-
rails, snatches Of operas-he played
them all lovingly, and the girl lol-
lowed at the piano below.
All at once the music ceased. Elsa
drew a long breath as II awakening
from a dream, but she still sat at
the piano with her little toil-rough-
ened hands resting on the keyboard.
There was the sound of footsteps
on the stairs and then a tap on the
half-open door. A big, blond young
man, Enthusiastically German, stood
smiling in the doorway.
"The music, 1t was good, ach so
good" he said approvingly. Ine
songs of the fatherland move the
heart, is it not SO !"
The tears rose again to Elsa's eyes.
but this time they did not burn; they
were refreshing like summer showers.
At first she could not speak. The
young man seemed not to notice her
emotion. He drew up a chair and
talked easily until she had recovered
herself. Before she knew 1t she was
chatting gayly with this cheerful
stranger, who was indeed not a
stranger, for he was from the home
country. She smiled, she actually
laughed-the little sad Elsa! The
color rose in her cheeks and two
dimples came into being. The young
man, whose name proved to be Ru-
dolph Heide, enjoyed the transforma-
ticn. He prolonged that enjoyment
till the asthmatic cuckoo CLOCK
warned him that the hour was late.
After that evening the violin and
piano kept company whenever there
was an opportunity. When there was
none, Rudolph and Elsa did their
best to make up for the absence OF
the music. Pale little Elsa bloomed
into beauty, and went amout her
work ever humming the beloved Ger.
man airs. Mrs. Green watched the
romance with kind eyes. Even

THE DEATH Of LEW II. YOUNG.

THE DEATH OF LEW n. YOONG.
The death Of Lew H. Young at the
very prime of life, is particularly sad.
Mr.. Young was ambitious and ener-
getic. He had opinions Of his own and
the moral courage to argue, for his
views on any question he became in
terested in. He did not make &C
ouaintances rapidly, but he had many.
many intimate friends in the territory
where he had so long represented the
firms with which he was employed:
During the years of his service as
travelling salesman, he worked hard,
and took too little rest. When he was
in business for himself his nervous
temperament and his boundless en-
ergy caused him to overtax his
strength.
Into all his manifold activities he
plunged with an enthusiasm that was
admirable until his health broke down
under the strain and death called him.
Lew Young was successful in business,
and his. life work closes at the very
time when he had his best years or
business activity and Judgment before
him. He leaves legions Of friends to-
whom his death comes as shock and
who extend the sincerest sympathy TO-
the bereaved wife and children and
relatives.

Jimmie Bennett knew something
would happen If he took out the
limousine on so beautiful an early
summer day. But there was nothing
else for 1t. James Bennett, senior,
had the touring car and the chauf-
feur; the runabout was out of the
question; and the electric had a
broken spring.
There was shopping to do-his
mother and sister both said SO, trag-
ically. Out came the limousine and
with Jimmie, feeling like taxicab
driver, at the wheel, they sped of
downtown bright and early in the
morning.
Jimmie was lolling on the cushions
opposite famous hat shop which is
near the union station. He amused
himself by watching the rout Of mo-
tors and people up and down the
busy. street.
He also kept patronizing eye on
the suburban trains that shuttled
back and forth behind the iron
fence. And he nodded commentator
when the Cosmopolitan limited
breezed majestically into the great
station.
The Cosmopolitan, with ponderous
exhausts, was on Its way again when
whirlwind Of dainty skirts projected
itself across the stone threshold of
the station and headed for Jimmie.
He Strengthened to attention when a
pretty, pleading face was upturned to
him.

The percentage Of divorces. 1t may
be noted, is a pretty steady one. 1t
does not vary much. There are some
slight variations. Polk county, for in
stance, shows little larger per cent
than the average for Iowa. The larger
the city, generally speaking. the more
marriage fatalities. In Dubuque coun-
ty we have another exception. the
divorces in that county are far below
the average, hardly one-third as many
as in the other larger counties OF the
state. This is probably due tc the
Catholic influence. Dubuque county
is the seat Of Catholicism In Its popu-
lation and in its influences. The at
titude of that church toward mar
rage and divorce must be given credit
for the good showing that is made IN
that county.
However, the percentages in the
smaller counties are almost as bad as
in the centers of larger populations.
The average county that runs about
100 marriages year is apt to appear
in the list with nine or ten or q dozen
divorces.
