The federal reserve bank organiza tion committee has decided that no bank shall be allowed to take stock in the reserve bank in its district amounting to more than 6 per cent of its capital and surplus. The law says that a national bank can not take less than 6 per cent, but is not so plain as to any limit on the amount above 6 per cent which may be sub scribed. It is understood that if future demands point to the need for larger subscriptions the committee or the federal reserve board can change the present ruling. UNSPOKEN KINDNESS The kindly words that rise within the heart, And thrill it with their sympathetic tone, But die ere spoken, fail to play their part, And claim a merit that is not their own. The kindly word unspoken, is a sin A sin that wraps itself in purest guise, And tells the heart that, doubting looks within, , That not in speech, but thought, the Virtue lies. But 'tis not so; another heart may thirst For that kind word, as Hagar, in the wild Poor baniphed Hagar prayed a well might burst From out the sand, to save the parch- . ing child; And loving eyes, that cannot see the mind, ' Will watch th expected movement of the lip. Ah! Can ye let its cuttifrg silence . ' wind , Around that heart' ami scathe i like " a whip1'? " ' "" .' John Boyle O'Reilly. A Free Trlnl 1'ncknKe 1 Mulled ISveryoHo Who Write. A.
