HOWARTH, Assessor CHARLES E. POTTER. OKLAHOMA. Even down 1b Oklahoma this banking law Is cot all it might be. Mr. Bryan and his friends have been at much pains to show, by figures pur porting to show the condition of affairs, that the scheme has worked well. Governor Haskell, Bryan's right hand man has given out through his trusty secretary of state, Roy Oakes, figures which gave Joy to all Bryan men. The deposits in Okalhoma banks have increased $4,509,221.65 snce February 4th, when the law went Into effect. This Is not all. O no! From Feb. 14 to May 14 there was a decrease of deposits in unse cured national banks not under the law some $669,919.76. These figures are intended to show and have been used by democrats to show, that the working of the law has helped the guaranteed banks. Let us see. During thl3 same period the nation al banks gained $699,112 from sources outside the state funds. After the pas sage of the law, $3,500,000 of the $5,000,000 cash school fund was placed in Oklahoma from Washington. Then too It must be remembered that the state was recovering from, the panic and the money was just finding its way back. J These figures have been used to bolster up the guaranty plan. At Topeka Bryan said that the fact that six or eight banks had given up their - national charters showed that the national banks as a class favored the guarantee and wished to be state banks. :-. -i. There are 306 national banks, thus far 2 Pr cent only have availed

themselves of the alleged benefits of this law. 1 Mr. . Bryan's statement Is well grounded Is It not? It Is not. This slowness on the national banks to embrace the law has led to coercion of the fifty-seven banks which are still national and have taken up the guarantee plan by an additional assessment on those banks of onetenth of one per cent. Why this coercion? But above all things where is the guarantee fund? The state banking board has been in existence for six months. No public statement has been made as to where the fund is deposited, what is its total amount or how much money is being paid out of it for salaries. These are the convincing figures and facts which the friends of the law are banking on.

- Are ye goln' a Journey? Have ye got a Job?" f-think so. It looks like a permanency. Goodby." "Goodby, an good luck to ye. Sure the boy looks mighty quare. 'Tls grief for his mother has turned his head entirely." No words could more clearly express Philip's condition than this ' friendly summing up. Since his mother's burial he had been half demented. His curt, disconnected answers bad lost him two places as an errand boy, which be could easily have secured. His small stock of money, ridiculously depleted by the generosity with which he met the open hints of the undertaker's assistants, barely sufficed to keep him in food for a week. Then he sought employment, but with such stiff upper lip and haughty Indifference to success that he unknowingly turned those against him who would have assisted him. For two days he was chosen to act as van boy for a parcel delivery firm. He earned a few meals, but in a fit of aberration induced by the sight of a lady who was dressed in a costume similar to one he remembered his moth er wearing at Dieppe, he allowed a ham to be stolen from the rear of the van. This procured bis instant dismissal, with threats. Then be sold newspapers, only to find that every good site was jealously guarded by a gang of roughs who mercilessly bullied any newcomer. Personal strength and courage were unavailing against sheer numbers. His face was still swollen and his ribs sore as the result of being knocked down and kicked at Ludgate Circus. At Charing Cross next day he was hustled under the wheels of an -dnlbu3 and narrowly escaped death. So he was driven into the side streets and the quiet squares, in which, during three or four days, be managed to earn an average of elgbtpence daily, which he spent on food. Each sight be crept back to the poor tenement in Johnson's Mews, his bleak "home" amid the solitude of empty stables and warehouses. The keeper of a coffee stall, touched one night by his woebegone appearance, gave him some half dried coffee grounds in a paper, together with a handful of crusts. "Put 'arf that in a pint of water." be said, looking critically at- the soddened mass of coffee, "an' when it comes to a bile let it settle. It'll surprise you to find 'ow grateful an' conifortin it tastes on a cold night, is for the crusts, if you bake 'em over the fire, they're just as good as the rusks you buy In tins." This good Samaritan had repeated his gift on two occasions, and Philip had a fairly large supply of small coal, sent to his mother by the colliery company, so his position, desperate enough, rras yet bearable had be but sougbf to accustom himself to the new conditions of life. There was a chance that his wild broodings would have yielded to the necessity to earn a living, and that when next a situation was offered to him be would keep it. but the occurrences of this stormy night had utterly shaken him for the hour. He was on the verge of lunacy. As he passed through the dark archway leading to his abode, the desolate Stable yard ras fitfully lit by lightning and in the distance he heard the faint rumble of thunder. The elemental strife waa beginning again. This was the second and more disastrous outbreak of the evening of March 19. Although wet to the skin, be was warm now on account of his long and rapid walk. . Wen he unlocked the door another Cash of lightning revealed the dismal interior.- He closed and locked the door behind him. On the mantelpiece were a farthing candle and some matches. He groped for theA and soon had a light On other occasions his next task was to light a fire. By sheer force of habit he gathered together some sticks and bits of paper and arranged them in the grate. But tbe task vy Irksome to him. .It

St J. GAYNOR. Etc. fZZ.l EDWARD J. CLODE. X was absurd to seek any Uegree or comfort for the few minutes he had to live. Better end it at once. Moreover, the storm was sweeping up over the East End with such marvelous speed that the lightning now played through the tiny room with dazzling brilliancy, and the wretched candle burned with blue and ghostlike feebleness. The cold of the house, too, began to strike chilly. He was so exhausted from hunger that if he did not eat soon he would not have the strength left to carry out his dread purpose. He sprang erect with a mocking little laugh, picked up tbe candle and the piece of rope and climbed the stairs, lie paused irresolutely at the top, but, yielding to overwhelming desire, went on and stood at the side of the bed on which his mother bad died. He fancied he could see her lying there still, with a smile ou her wane face and unspoken words of welcome on her lips. A, flood of tears came and he trembled violently. "I am coming to you, mother," he murmured. "You told me to trust in God, but I think God has forgotten me. I don't want to live. I want to Join you, and then perhaps God will remember me." He stooped and kissed the pillow, nestling his face against it, as be was wont to fondle the dear face that rested there so many weary days. Then he resolutely turned away, descended four steps of the ladder-like stairs and tied the clothesline firmly to a hook which had been driven into the celling during the harness room period of the room beneath. With equal delibera tion he knotted the other end of tbe cord round his neck, and he calculated that by springing from the stairs he would receive sufficient shock to becomt insensible very quickly, while his feet would dangle several inches above the floor. . There was a terrible coolness, a set tled fixity of purpose far beyond his years, In the manner of these final preparations. At last they were com pleted. He blew out tbe candle and stood erect 'At that instant the room became absolutely flooded with lightning, not In a single vivid flash, but in a trembling, continuous glare that suggested the ef fect of some luminous constellation fierce with electric energy. Before his eyes was exhibited a startling panorama of the familiar objects of bit lonely abode. The brightness, so sustained and tremulous, startled him back from the very brink of death. "I will wait." he said. "When the thunder comes, then I will jump." Even as the thought formed in his mind a ball of fire so glowing, so iridescent in its flaming heat that it dominated the electric waves fluttering In the overburdened air darted past tbe little window that looked out over the tiny yard in the rear of tbe house and crashed through tbe flagstones with the din'of a ten inch shell. Philip, elevated on the stairway, distinctly saw the molten splash which accompanied its Impact He saw the heavy stones riven asunder as if they were tissue paper, and from the hole caused by the thunderbolt or meteor came a radiance that sent a spreading shaft of light upward like the beam of a searchlight The warmth, too. of the object was almost overpowering. Were not the surrounding walls constructed of stone and brick there must have been an Immediate outbreak of fire. As It was, the glass in tbe windows cracked and the woodwork began to scorch. In the same instant a dreadful roll of thunder swept over the locality, and a deluge of rain, without any further warning, descended. All this seemed t tbe wondering boy to be a very long time In passing. In reality it occupied but a very few seconds. Pesple in the distant street could not distinguish the crash of the fallen meteor from the accompanying launder, and the downpour of rain came is the very nick of tnae to prevent the wtLtn 19 oouee.and the oejsoborisg

Ends Saturday, September 26, 190S The Palladium and Sun-Telegram's classified ad contest will end with our issue of Saturday, September 26th, and the result will be announced in our paper of the following day Sunday. This gives the contestant eleven more days in which to gain first place in their contest. We would advise that each boy or girl do everything in their power to bring at least one advertisement to this office each day during the remainder of the contest. Each contestant should make it a point to call at each house or store in their district between now and the end of the contest. In this way they will cover the ground thoroughly and will undoubtedly increase their vote considerably. In order to succeed in any undertaking one has to work and go after business. One who si down and waits for opportunity to come to them is never successful. $5.00 Prize Awarded Earnest McKay Ernest McKay, 1028 Main St., District No. 8, is the winner of the first prize -vvarded in this contest. He is the first contestant to turn in $10.00 on classified ads and is the recipient of the $5.00 prize offered. Little Ernest has persevered from the very beginning of the contest and has worked hard in his district, being the only one entered in district No. 8. Much credit is due him for his success.

The torrent of water caused a dense volume of steam to generate Jn the back yard, and this helped to minimize the strange light shooting up from tbe cavity. There was a mad hissing and crackling as the rain poured over the meteor and gradually dulled its brightness. Pandemonium raged in that curiously secluded nook. Amared and cowed, not by the natural phenomenon be had witnessed, but by the interpretation he placed on it the boy unfastened the rope from his neck. "Very well, mother," he whispered aloud.
