for you and Winifrid to get along on.

A week at the seashore! In spite
of Helen's anxiety as to the expense,
she was filled with joyful anticipation.
Somehow the thought of going away
with Warren seemed to renew the ro-
nance of their honeymoon.
To many women the possibility of
romance in married life ends before
the first year, but with Helen two
years had not succeeded in crushing
it,
Warren the lover. And although he
was far from that, what ne lacked in
sentiment her own vivid imagination
made up. She was always planning
scenes of tenderness and love TO be
lived through with him, and countless
disappointments had not as yet crush
out this tendency.
Pleasant Thoughts.
And now in this trip to the sea-
shore, she saw many possibilities of
hours in which they could be very
happy.
She remembered during their en-
gagement. one wonderful days trip to
the beach, and how they had sat out
on the sand in the moonlight and list
ened to the rushing waves.
Yielding to a sudden fancy she had
made him give her pencil and bit
of paper The back of an envelope
was all he had, and she had torn il
in two and told him they must each
write the thing they wished for most
| in the woodland then bury their
| wishes deep in the sand, with a little
prayer that they would come true.
He had laughed and called her a
| sentimental little kitten, whom he
supposed he had to humor. Then she
had found two clam shells in the sand
and putting the tightly folded bits of
paper between them. had buried them
| deeply.
On hers she had written-"that he
will love me always as much as he
! loves me now Although she never
asked him. she often wondered what
! he had written. AS they left she had
! tried to mark the place in her memory
| by an imaginary line from a tree and
/ distant cottage.
! She Smiled now at that fancy. for
| long ago the waves had washed the
| shells away.
! But now all day as she got their
| things ready for this trip, she dreamed
/ of that wonderful night. And she
was filled with fiuttering expectancy
! that they were again going 10 the
| beach, and perhaps to the very same
place. they would once more sit out
on the sand in the moonlight and
/ listen TO he rushing waves.

Az ETHNOLOGICAL MENACE.

If we were disposed 10 be nervous
we might extract a SILVER from the
specuIatiOns of Prof. Guglielmo Fer
on what ne terms "Japan's curious
American policy. But. as matter of
fact we are not worrying over a pos
sibility so remote.
The japanese, according to prof
Ferrero, are proceeding on the theory
that there exists a racial relationship
with the Mexicans and seeking TO es-
tablish an chronological bond between
the two peoples which Will give the
japanese the foothold in America they
are so evidently trying TO gain. Jap

Japan is supposed 20 be insiduously

THOUGHTS ON ART

Insanity and art are not akin. The
insane person is the one who refused

Is unnecessary.

mental one after 60 There are more

the duties OF the civil courts were
taken over. and that at the time such
martial law was being enforced there
was nc evidence that the civil courts
had been intimidated or that they
would have failed To faithfully per
form their duties.

KEEPING MONEY AT HOME.

A local bank carries in its adver-
isement a reference 10 its policy Of
lending its money To local borrowers
hs against the policy of seeking higher
rates Of interest in foreign fields.
Presumably other 5anks are able 10
make the same announcement but the
institution referred 10 is 10 be COM
Pnended for calling attention to the
s subject.
The business life Of a community
ldepends largely upon its per capita
amount OF available capital. A scarcity
. Df available money for legitimate local
needs tends directly TO cripple a COM
munity. AS most depOsitors are own
ers OF property. they necessarily are
|vitally interested in the benefits fol-
lowing the local Investment of their
savings. AS long as there is a local
demand for money upon safe security
there is slight if any excuse for foreign
Investment Of local money by a Gus
todian bank.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
local building has suffered in recent
years by reason Of inability 10 borrow
personally for needed improvements
or developments. This hits the ma
teriaI men and the laborers. II holds
back the growth of a city.
Il is also true that several manu-
facturers have refrained from coming
10 South Bend placing the reason on
the inability Of local banks TO extend
| the sufficient line OF credits their bust
ness would demand and deserve. If
i these men were honest in such ex
pressions and were correctly informed
the indictment against the city would
I be severe-particularly if due to I'M
reasonable foreign investment.
South Bend may well boast of it's
strong financial institutions. While
the capitalization is not excessive the
surplus carried by the various banks is
splendid. Their deposits climb higher
and higher each year. If there is a
local demand for this money il would
seem that IL should be supplied in
preference to outside loans.
High rates of interest are alluring
but not conservative. There must be
an element of risk or speculation in
any investment offering excessive in
terest for a loan. At equal rates of
interest no institution should discrim-
mate against the community that fills
its vaults.
The Chamber OF Commerce If il
wishes TO undertake something prac-
teal might well spend some time in
ascertaining if an abuse exists in the
matter Of foreign loans.
The standing argument in favor of
bank depositing as against the postal
saving bank is that the banks keep
the money at home and help the
growth of a community. while the pos
tai service forwards the money away
from home. This argument is strong
and should be controlling in every case
where the bank actually reciprOcates
by keeping the money ct home as
much as possible

\ VERSATILE MAN.

Perhaps the most versatile man in
the world passed away in the death
of S. Weir Mitchell. who died at his
home in Philadelphia Sunday morn
ing. At least he had successfully and
simultaneously followed more differ
ent and distinctive pursuits than any
other man of the present generation
of whom there is any record.
DR.. Mitchell was at once an eminent
physician and surgeon, a scientist of
worldwide renown, an author on
scientific and professional subjects and
a novelist of distinction. He was
marvelously Industrious and wonder
fully productive, and his literary at
tainments are the more remarkable
from the fact that as he once remark
ed he never had any education.
All the same DR.. Mitchell was a
student and fitted himself for jefferson
medical college, subsequently, taking
degrees from Harvard, Edinburgh,
Princeton and Bologna. His speciality
was nervous diseases and in this line
ne ranked among the best in the
world.
His career as an author began in
1852 and between that year and 1894
he had issued 1875 different publica-
tions, mostly on scientific and profess
siona' subjects. In popular literature
he was first known in 1883. Among
his most notable novels are Hugh
Wynne". a story Of the American rev.
olution, characteristics" and Or
North and His Friends"
