We cannot help but feel a keen sense of satisfaction in
having discovered the need of a banking service in this
thriving section of our city and some pride in having estab-
lished an institution, where such facilities and a~ccommoda-
ton as we have afforded the public and our depositors, has
supplied that need and satisfied a legitimate demand.

Beauty of the Snow
at the Yule Season

~5HE beauty of snow is not on
wide, glazing expanses, on
level, unbrOken plains. The eye
W could not endure, nor the heart
accept, the binding monOtOny
Of such conditions.
The beauty of snow lies in contrast
Who has not seen long, blush shadows
creep over it at sunset? Or marked
with delight, the thin pencilings Of
bare branches shifting over it's surface
by moonlight? Snow requires changes,
Interruptions, so to speak, to bring out
its character. The ruggedness Of hills
makes the valleys yet more peaceful.
The stark, rough "glOry of the trees"
lends decision to landscape; the thin
nest, wind-whipped edges weave pat
terms Of indescribable frailty on the
pages Of the snow.
SO 1t is with Christmas. We could
hardly live up to Christmas every day
In the year. The whole meaning
would become worn and threadbare
through constant association. When
it does come, it should stand out by
contrast, in great and shining beauty.
The worries, fruits, failures and dis
appointments Of the months just gone
should lend the proper "shadOwing,"
20 that the purity Of the day stands
out in white distinction.
And II the heart must ache q little,
as all hearts do no matter how great
the happiness, let the pain be the
pencilings Of branches on the match

beauty and charact0r.-Martha B.

holly (Perezia nana) Of the Southwest

SCHWAB BLEED
BY WOMAN,
CHARGE
Millionaire Steel Man BaEes
Reasons for Loans to Mrs.
Myrtle Hayes.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-For
twenty years Charles M. Schwab,
of the Bethlehem Steel Company,
permitted himself to be bled for
'loans" by Mrs. Myrtle B. Hayes,
the widow under indictments for
forging his Endorsement to notes
with which she attempted to
finance a $5,000,000 apartment
hotel scheme in BrOokline, Mass.
Feared Publicity.
He did this because in 1892 he
had advanced her 81 900 and feared
that if he stopped, there would be
publicity concerning his loans to
her and that this might result in
an erroneous construction being
placed on his former associations
with her.
All this SehWab testified yester-
day afternoon at a hearing before
Charles A, Tipling, referee in bank
ruptcy, in Long Island City. lie
was questioned for an hour and a
half by George Edwin Joseph,
attorney for creditors of William Z.
TObey, a builder, who failed because
OF the reliance on the notes Mrs.
Hayes negotiated.
The whole purpose of Joseph's
Questioning was to prove that
Schwab is obligated to honor the
note Endorsements which he asserts
are fOrgeries. The whole purpose
of Schwab's answers was to demon
strate that he never had any in
terest in Mrs. Hayes business deals
and that she never was authorized
TO use his name to obtain money
or credit.
Schwab Denies Defense.
At one point Joseph tried to bring
out an admission that SchWab, after
| testifying against Mrs. Hayes be-
fore the grand jury last May, en-
deavOred to aid her defense.
| Schwab denied this.
SchWab told of his first lnaa to
Mrs. Hayes. "She was then Miss
| Myrtle Bowman" he said. 1.-The loan
was made in 1902 for So 1000. Sub
sequently she had business difficult
ties and went into bankruptcy and
| was told that unless ] aided hep
with more money. there would be
| publicity and comment that prob
! ably would be unfavorable. Every
| loan subsequently, made was with a.
view to avoiding publicity. No
{ man likes publicity in matters on
| which the public is apt to put the
wrong construction. Be assured.
i my purpose In this whole matter is
not to shirk responsibility. I have
| faced fire many times in nv life
and / have never shirked a respoa-
| sibility."
