l think I understand why so many
favor working by taxation. Men with
but little property think they do more
than their share OF the work but they
ought to remember that In many, yes,
very many instances, men OF more
property are heavily taxed to keep up
the schools and courts, who never in
their lives made any direct use Of
either. And as for the man who works
for wages. he would find himself with
out employment if we had no roads to
get the surplus off. Ihold that wages
are enhanced very considerably by the
means of good roads. What would
men back in the mountains clear land,
build houses for tenants, or build saw
mills or cotton gins for, IL they had no
means of getting to market? And
most assuredly If the property holders
had to build all the roads they would
tenants, in moving them, carrying
their little crops to market, by docking
their wages, or in finding no use for
them at all. It seems to me, too, that
it would be cumbersome to have hum

A Miracle Worker IN, Rome.

Italy is talking good deal now about
Benedictine, known as Dom Bosco, who
while not possessing penny of his own
has succeeded in founding and maintain
ing 164 houses of refuge and orphan asy-
lums in various countries, in which 250,
COO children are clothed, fed and educated.
The success of his work seems to be due
to tireless energy and extraordinary per-
sonal magnetism; it is said that after tel
ling his story recently at the aristocratic
church of La Madeleine in Paris, the peo-
pie contributed $500 to his charitable
Golfers. But the italian mind is not sat
isfed with natural explanations of this
goodman's success and pamphlet sketch of
his life has just appeared in Rome ascrib-
ing to Dom Bosco the power of working
miracles by the score. Here is one which
gives the Benedictine as full control of
the laws of nature as was ever shown by
his great Master: SIT is a well known
fact" says the Diographer, who is an ex-
magistrate of the city, (which as an eye
witness, am able to state under oath, that
young man, formerly boy in one of
Dom Bosco's houses of refuge, being two
years ago at the point of death in Rome,
the family telegraphed at once for the
thaumaturgus, then In Florence. The Bene-
dictine hurried to Rome, but failed to ar
rive in time. Charles, the young man, had
departed--not to better life, though, for
it was publicly known that he had been
dissipated, and his family were
consequently afraid of his be-
ing lost for eternity. Let me
alone with him.. said Dom Bosco, and
kneeling at the foot of the dead boys bed
he prayed fervently for a few minutes,
then rising to his feet exclaimed in a
commanding tone: "Wake up, Charles"
And Charles Immediately sat upright in
bed. The good priest heard his confes-
sion, gave him absolution, and, calling in
the awe-stricken friends and family, ac-
miuistered to him the last sacrements of
che church with much unction and So
lemnity. At the conclusion of the cere-
monies the Benedictine kissed the young
man and said: Charles, now that you are
in state of grace, what will you do
remain here or go to heaven?' To heaven
answered the one from the dead, and sud-
denly he fell back again in the winding
sheet and returned to the unknown world.
The day after he was buried"
