:" blame thee not This heart I know
 To be long loved was never framed, For something in Its depth doth glow
 loo strange. too restless. too nnhlme

For something Tn Us depth dotn FLOW
 foo strange, too restless. too untamed." ~ ONE one has somewhere said: "To
 love and not to be loved is time lost ''.,
 whimsical intent: "'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all' The saddest of all loving is to be enamored of a heart which does not respond. There are women who believe that they can fan indifference into flame, but there never was greater mistake. To waste the precious feeting hours in repining over who does not care, is the worst example of time lost. There is always hope of winning a man who calls of his own yolition, sends a book flower now and then. This proves to her that though absent, she has been in his thoughts
 The warmest, most loving heart cannot weather continued indifference without be- coming chilled and withered. This is a noxious poison to the warm breath of love. Mary a man uses it as weapon of self defense as it were. Through indifference they show a woman more plainly than words can do that their affections are not for her.
 When man is indifferent as to how many suitors woman has for her hand, whether she is escorted hther and thther by par ticular one or by each person in turn, there need be no more argument used to show her that he is not interested deeply in her. Her love affairs cause him no worry. His indif ference is a weapon which stays her hopes of winning him.
 A mans indifference leads many a woman to believe that it is of no moment to him whether he ever sees her face again. There are other men who assume indifference to cloak the real feeling of heart.

Then there is the elastic indifference which Is only assumed between lovers who have fallen out with each other. If one sees the other paying attention to one else there is jealousy then which scatters it into fras ments. The lover humbly sues his sweet hearts pardon, exemplifying the poets words
 :. To be wroth with one we love
 Doth act like madness in the brain"
 This one taste of the bitterness of ind;s- ference is quite enough for both.
 It is valuable lesson, inasmuch as both take heed not to so offend again. After the cloud of indifference has been chased away the sunshine of making up is twice as bright and radiant Each promises the other to never darken its radiance again. It rests with lovers to overcome this fatal tendency. If they cannot do this they should never wed.
 The many vicissitudes into which indifer- ence can lead persons is a subject of vast proportion. It never makes for happiness Only misery follows upon it's footsteps. Both youth and maidens, men and women, who read these printed words should profit by them if they have taken their first step in the path of indifference.
 The first steps are easier to retrace. A pentent word or a contrite look may be all that is needed for sweet and tender recon cliation. Let no one fear that they will think less of each other for insisting that indifference shall never find a foothold in their demeanor toward each other. We only pass this way once as we journey through life. Let it not be marred by the weapon of indifference toward those with whom we have exchanged vows of love-

How did you know that my poor broken hearted friends trouble was caused by secret writing with bachelor friend, who she confessed to me wrote such interesting letters before her marriage twenty some years ago? 1 have known her husband all this time.

place. Where couple must live together and are thrown into Gaiy contact for 355 days in the year, it takes genuine love to keep them in unison. Otherwise the decay of indifference is sure to set in.
 If it is the husband who has grown in- different, the wife is beset with thousand fears She imagines that some one may have supplanted her in his affection. When man has become indifferent to his wife there is d. ways an alarming reason for it.
 If it is the wife who has grown indifferent some husbands are intensely worried over it. For every one knows that woman's love is a plant that needs the tenderest care. If it dies out it will never take root again. They know that "a house divided against itself cannot stand.'
 Without affection between them the years that follow would be a burden to them both. If there are children then the situation is more complicated. The parent aggrieved com plains bitterly. And the sons and daughters take sides with the one or the other. In the end the courts are applied to. The result is they part.
 " Critters the dew and shines the river.
 Sparkles the tear In the ly's bell

 And wave their hands In mute farewell"
 Indifference is canker for which there seldom is found cure. It is the keenest sor- row which a faithful heart can experience. It is the deadly foe of affection. Its approach

Sweethearts who have drifted apart through the indifference of one or the other should thank heaven that they have discovered this state of affairs they were bound to each other for life. It is often the indifference which ereeps in after marriage that pla5s havoc with married folks.
 The honeymoon is scarcely over ere he ceases in paying his dearie the little atten- tons that delightful as we'll as so keenly appreciated by her. It is the little rift within the lute which makes loves music mute. The wife may have left off the fur bellows the rose in her hair or in her bodice, the pretty tone of endearment the hundred and one little embellishments that jeweed love. Upon this slight temperature in loves ardor the glow of love f1ickers out. Indf ference settles down like fog plotting out the sunshine of home life When this state of affairs happens it takes the most heroic eff fort of one or the other to cross the brittle glass bridge of indifference to future peace.

Now, when I go to a country store to do trading there is young girl in the store that always gives me candy and gum and sometimes both, and when I refuse to take them she comes round and puts them in my pocket.

Waters-Pierce Company.
New York, Oct. 30.-Wall street re-
ceived a surprise on Monday when the
announcement was made that the fight
OF the Waters-Pierce Oil company with
the Standard Oil company had been
brought to sudden close.
The taking of testimony here for the
suit brought in Missouri to force the
Waters-Pierce company to admit to it's
directorate a majority of men repre-
ssenting the Rockefeller-Archbold inter
ests has been suspended because H.
Clay Pierce has virtually agreed to
take over all the shares owned by the
interests he is now fighting.
Wall street soon learned the cause
of the quick change of affairs. 1t was
that the Rockefeller-Archbold inter
ests had agreed to dispose of all their
holdings, or virtually all, to WateAs-
Pierce provided price terms could be
agreed upon. These negotiations were
left to Martin Carey, counsel for the
Standard Oil crowd, and former Judge
Samuel Fl. Priest of St Louis for the
Pierce crowd. The two lawyers had
been holding conferences here for sew
eral days, but so quietly were the ne
gotiations conducted that not even
brokers directly interested were
aware of the likelihood of the sale.

Condition of National Banks.
Washington, Oct. 29-The amount
of overdrafts in national banks was
lower on September 4, the date Of

troller of the Currency Murray. who
recently urged national banks to

The September call showed an ag-
gregate of $4,000 in overdrafts among
the 7,400 national banks This was
.33 per cent of loans and discounts
and 10 per cent of total resources
compared with November, 1904, when
overdrafts reached their highest
point. The number of banks has in
creased So per cent. and overdrafts
decreased 63.6 per cent.
Mr.. Murray said this was particu-
larly gratifying for September, when
overdrafts are usually large because
of the crop movement.
