Here in Maryland we have thousands
of acres untouched and uncultivated.
Why? Somebody owns 1t, certainly,
and the tax upon 1t 10 so small that
these gentry can afford to pay 1t and
hold on, hoping for speculative rise,
instead of either going to work on It
themselves or releasing it to others who
would work it, if it were only free
from rent to the memorable landlord,
and they would not be fined by the gov.
eminent for being industrious. Single
tax on land values would cure all this
1t would put such small tax on agri-
cultural lands. and at the same time re-
lieve the farmer from all other taxes
on improvements, and clothing, and ar.
ticles of consumption, that men would
have no occasion to rush out to the wild
lands of the West, leaving behind them
states half cultivated and cities only
half built up with houses.-Baltimore

THEFT YOUNGSTERS SONG.
LOUISIANA

Say, stranger, things has changed out here;
faint very long ago
Since this big town was nothin' but the ranch
of old Bill Coe;
We called it Freedom Camp, and every Sunday
all the boys
Would meet in front of old Bills tent and make
aprccious noise.
There's nothin makes our sort OF men as happy
as din,
And so with shout and crack Of gun. we used to
sail right in;
We'd fight and race, and try our strength, till
half the night was spent,
And then we'd go with curse and laugh to drink
in old Bills tent.
The only one that didn't drink err carry on. er
swear,
Was sickly, and they'd sent him there for Col
orado air;
lie was youngster only, but he made us ranch
because he looked so solemn when we acted
extra bad
Ono Sunday night the noise eased up, and soon
the camp was STILL
AS each one OF us stood and watched the moor
rise DER the hill;
don't know how it happened, but 1t looked SC
pure and calm,
Tbet ev'ry old tough ranchman dropped his
voice and stayed his arm.
ster thar by me-
Began to sing so soft and clear: MY FAITH
Looks Up to Thee"
And in a minute hats were Of, and ev'ry head
was bowed,
As them old words rang true and sweet, and
softened up the crowd.
hadn't heard the sollum tone since was
young as him,
But suthin' swelled up in my throat, and ther
my eyes grew dim:
As he sung on, thought how brave he was thai
crowd TO face,
And SO took mighty breath and joined him
withsthe bass
Then Denver Dick begun to sing, and soon the
whole rough crowd
Was shoutin' out that good old tune in voices
deep and loud;
We hadn't pretty voices, and some didn't know
WORD,
but. stranger. twas the grandest thing that
mortal ever heard.
And when the hymn was done We said "Gnod
night" and went our way.
And old Bills tent was pretty well deserted
from that day;
Fer ev'ry Sunday night we'd meet and sing Q
And mixin' hymns and rum, you see, OF course
would never do.
Yes, stranger, things has changed out here;
we've got our churches now,
And you could live here all your life and never
see q row:
The good has drove the bad away, and all this
change, you see,
Is OWN to that chap that sung: my Faith
Looks Up to Thee
Home Queen.

Der Of states of the low railroad rates
to st. Louis during the carnival, ana
every day crowds of cxcursionists visis
the city and spend a few days in u en-
joying the attractions and the re-
markable hospitality Of its citizens.
The Examinations, covering over SIX
miles of streets, and including over 49,
600 gas and electric lights, are calling
forth enthusiastic praise from thou
sands of spectators every evening" ana
the crowds on the streets tonight were
remarkable in every respect The po-
lice force are in hearty sympathy with
the Autumnal Festivities association,
and they find the crowds so uniformly
good-tempered and satisfied that there
is little difficulty in preserving order
and preventing the unplcasantness
which is apt to arise from such an
enormous collection of people on the
streets.
The electric panorama and pyrotecn-

share of attention, but the street ana

Compensation.

It is an undeniable fact that the one
great, overwhelming objection to the
single tax is that it would destroy ex-
isting land values. All other objections
are as nothing compared to this, and it
must be met in a way satisfactory to
practical men. While to the far-think-
ing single taxer, who sees ample
compensation in an improved condition
of society, the objection has no weight,
to the ordinary thinker it may serve to
completely bar all further examination
of the subject Hence argument on
this point may be of great use. stated
in the briefest way, this fundamental
objection to the single tax-the one
whereon will be fought the great and
final battle for equal human rights-is
this: ''It will destroy existing values"
Here, in five words, we have the gauge
of battle-the most portentous that the
world has ever known.
It may be a point gained to know
that this objection, as to the destrnc-
ton of existing values, applies with
equal force to all inventions, ali soci al
progress, all discovery of new methods
Our opponents must concede two i'm.
portant facts-first, that social progress
involves the continual destruction OF
existing values; ndsecond, that society
has no thought of compensation for
such destruction of values.
Thus, new steam engine may drive
all existing engines into the scrap heap;
the inventor of the wire nail machine
destroyed vast sums that were invested
in machinery for making cut. nails;
while new processes for making steel
are driving the iron industry into ruin.
But society is without mercy, and
knows no thought of compensation.
1t must be clear to all that here is a
great law, fixed fact, in view of which
it is just as Illogical to condemn the
single tax because it would destroy ex-
listing land values, as to condemn rail-
roads because they destroyed the value
of stage routes.-A. c. Sekell

ice in the hands of some man who
knows how to use it.
In 1864 President Lincoln was great
ly bothered by the well-meant but i'll
advised efforts of certain good northern
men to bring about termination of
the war. An old gentleman from Mas
sachusetts, very bland and entirely
bald, was especially persistent and
troublesome.
Again and again he appeared before
the president, and was got rid of by
one and another ingenious expedient.
One day, when this angel of mercy had
been boring Mr.. Lincoln for half an
hour, to the interruption of important
business, the president suddenly rose.
went to closet, and took out large
bottle.
Ibid you ever try this remedy for
baldness?" he asked, holding up the
bottle before his astonished visitor.
No; the man was obliged to confess
that he never had tried it.
Mr.. Lincoln called servant, had the
bottle wrapped up. and handed it to the
bald philanthropist.
There" said he, Ego and rub some
of that on your head. Persevere.
They say it will make the hair grow.
Come back in about three months and

And. almost before he knew it, the
good man was ontside of the door with
