THE EMPERoR's RREAKFAsr,

Fifteen centuries ago
Emperor Nintok Of Japan
Walked upon his roof at daybreak,
Watching If the tolls began
Well TO gild the cedar frieze
OF his palace galleries.;
Well to nail the silver plates
On his inner palace gates;
For the Queen would have it so
Fifteen hundred years ago,
Walking on his roof, he spied
Streets and lanes aud quarters teeming;
Saw city spreading wide.
All but mean and sad Of seeming
Show those lowly wooded huts
Underneath the Kings house cleaning;
Though each humble wicket shuts
One world out and one world in,
That so great and this so small,
Yet, to the poor hearts within,
The little world their all in al
just then the waiting-maids bore through
The breakfast Of King Nintoku.
Quoth the Emperor gazing round
wherefore, when my meats abound,
See not much smoke arise
From these huts beneath my eyes'
Chimneys put into the air,
Yet no chimney-reek is there
Telling that the household pot
Bubbles glad with gohan* hot.
Gid me no more galleries,
If my people pay the gold,
Lot my gates unplated so,
If the silver leaves them cold.
This city of all tax ease
For three years We decree it so,
From all huts there shall be smoke.n
Thus the Emperor Nintok spoke.
Sped three years, upon his roof
The monarch paced again. Aloof
His Empress hung, ill-plcased to sec
The SHOWS drip through her gallery,
The gates agape with cracks and gray,
For wear and weather: "Consort, say
II so the Emperor of Japan
Should lodge like some vile peasant man.
Whose thatch leaks for load of straw
Princess august, what recks glass"
Nintok replied, Sin gate or wall,
When far and wide, those chimneys all
Fling their blue house-nags to the sky,
Where the gods count them Thou and l
Take part in all the poor folks health
The peoples veal makes princes wealth ~

Within the last year Portugal had
TO abandon the attempt TO keep
the dear gold in her country. Spain
has not yet gone so far; but the ever
increasing quantities of silver which
she buys clearly mark the way in
which events are moving in that coun-

fishing the free coinage OF the silver.

A CALIFORNIAN On Tax DodgIng.

His story was very edifying. The
assessment is taken on the first Mon
day in March. On the Friday pre-.
vious the bank wired its New York
correspondent: "Do you want gold?
We are badly in want OF government
bonds" Government bonds are not
taxable, but it was mere coinci-
dence. The New York bank tele-
graphed back: "Yes, there is nothing
we want so bad as gold. We have a
plethora OF government bonds" The
California bank telegraphed. I'VE
want 81, 900. 900 ofgoyernment bonds.
New York bank telegraphed back.
Done" The California bank tele-
graphed. Tie up those bonds, keep
them for us and we will tie up tho
gold and keep it for you" "All
right"
Thereupon the New York bank
took out 81. 900, 900 worth, par value,
OF government bonds carefully put
them In its vault labelling the property
Of such and such California bank.
The California bank carefully counted
out 81, 600 600 in gold coin, put 1t in
n tin box. Endorsed Property Of the
New York bank. and put it in its own
vault Then came the first Monday
in March; the bank cashier made out
written statement that his bank
owned no money at all had nothing
but government bonds which are not
taxable signed that statement and
went home and slept the sleep OF the
just. Chicago Sentinel

Richmond Dispatch:-How many
bankers in Lombard or Wall street
have ever seen a pound sterling coin
the fetish which they worship with
heart and soul, mind and strength,
might and main? There never were
any such coins until 1915, if we ex-
cept few struck in the reign of
Henry VIII; yet this pound sterling
has been the unit of British currency
for generations past. Length is ma
terial and can be measured. Weight
is material and can be- ascereained by
scales; and if allowed to drop will
mash your toes. But value is an ideal
thing The coinage acts of congress
fix its unit in our country as Il dollar.
If the weight and composition of this
unit but be fixed by congressional pre-
rogative there might be no piece
actually coined of the denomination
of the dollar.

The Pioneer Exponent: Silver has
been demonctized IN the United States
and consequently what was once dol
lars worth OF bullion is now about IA
cents worth. This enables England
to purchase our purposely deprecated
bullion and send 1t to India and Rus
STA, which are free silver countries.
when its purchasing power 10 buy
wheat for England is 100 cents on the
dollar They thus save "a per cent
in the purchase OF their wheat while
the American wheat grower finds his
loss correspondingly as great and be-
Sides his market is thereby partially
destroyed. This scheme is worked by
England, single standard country
which also has this same deprecated
metal there. By reason OF this, these
same eXploiters. who are seemingly
welded to the single standard idea,
take advantage of the low price OF
bullion and obtain wheat from India
at "a per cent saving as above stated,
and at the same time throw the Amer
lean wheat grower at q per cent
greater disadvantage than the pauper
laborers OF India and the serfs OF Rus
STA in disposing Of his crop. But the
Clevelands and Harrisons Mills and
Shermans go right ON serving the
money power of London rather than
the interests Of the American products.

Topeka Advocate: Even the least
civilized people are not driven by
their necessities to use their total
labor force. and while the advance of
humanity from barbarism increases
tho wants OF man. it increases his abil-
ity to supply these wants in constant
ly greater proportion. This is not less
true in agriculture than in mechanics.
The gardeners of Paris and those
well informed of their methods tell
US that they can provide food for that
enormous city within her own district.
That is, they can maintain, so far as
food is concerned three million and
two hundred thousand people on three
and one half millions of acres of land.
Broadly the effective labor force OF the
world is greater than its consumptive
demands, always has been and always
will be.

MURMURED ELLA AND DIED
There came TO FL Pa:o, Texas, some
time last winter a young fellow who
looked as if he was in the last stages of
consumption. He said he was poor
and wanted to get something to do
with the hope that the climate might
benefit him. He obtained position as
dish washer in the railroad eating
house, where all the trains from Mcxi-
co stop when they come across the riv-
cr. and so worked it that his table was
near the window which looked out on
the platform where the passengers
promenaded when the train was chang
ing engines and the passengers were
eating their meals.
He was reticent about himself, ana
besides knowing that his name was
Tom no one knew anything about INN;
Tuesday as the train from the llsy OF
Mexico pulled into the depot Tom, as
usual. was looking out Of his WINDOW.
Suddenly he was seen to 90 to the door
in a hurry. and then there were two
shots fired in quick succession: a pas,
sengcr lay dying on the platform and
Tom was dead almost at his feet. The
diving passenger was only able to say
ELLA" before he died. 1t was discov=
cred that Tom was girl, but who she
or the man was could not be found out.
