Helps to Patience.

A woman whose life has been long
and checkered with many reverses,
said lately: Nothing has given me
more courage to face every days du-
ties and troubles than a few words
spoken to me when I was a child by
my old father. He was village doc
tor. I came into his Office, where he
was compounding medicine, one day,
looking cross and ready to cry.
"'What is the matter, Mary p
"I'm tired +! I've been making
beds and washing dishes all day, and
every day, and what good does it do !?
Tomorrow the beds will be to make
and the dishes to wash over again.
"''Look, g my child he said, do you
see these little empty vials :? They
are all insignificant, cheap things, Of
no value in themselves; but in one l
put deadly poison, another sweet
perfume, in third healing medi-
cine.
Nobody cares for the walls; it is
that which they carry that kills or
cures. Your daily work, the dishes
washed or the floor swept, are homely
things, and count for nothing in them
selves but i. is the anger, or the
sweet patience, or zeal, or high
thoughts that you put into them that
shall last. These make your life. :"
No strain is harder upon the young
than to be forced to do work which
they feel is beneath their faculties,
yet no discipline is more helpful.

Solved at Last.

To tile Editor of the State: Much
has been said about the financial situ-
alton of the country, and many have
been the suggestions offered as solu-
ton for the ills which are upon US. l
wish to offer one, which | think de-
cidedly preferable to anything yet ad-
vanced, including the calling in and
redemption of all United States bonds,
the sub-treasury, the free coinage Of
silver, the repeal Of the 10 per cent.
tax on State banks Of issue, or the
graduated income tax. It is this /
propose graduated title tax. Amer
leans are wild for titles, the men for
those of a military class, while the wo-
men, some of them, will throw them
selves away upon any foreigner who
can boast of a title, however hollow it
may be. Now, [ propose that those
who aspire to military titles (save in
the good old way Of fighting for them)
ouly be allowed to use them upon the
payment Of tax for the privilege, the
tax to be graded accorded to the rank
desired. Begin with the lowest, and
tax a man SIS a year for the privilege
of being addressed as corporal; $40
for sergeant; $25 for lieutenant; $50
for captain $10O for major; $500 for
lieutenant-colonel; $500 for colonel !;
$1,000 for brigadier-general IS, 900 for
major-general $4,000 forlieutenant-
general. This to apply to all persons
who allow themselves to be addressed
by any title of a military character
who did not attain the same in actual
war.
Should this plan be adopted, and
the tax collected from even small
per cent. of those who pose under
military titles, all other taxes, Federal
and State, could be dispensed with,
disabled soldiers, North and South,
could be pensioned, all charities ad-
ministcred by the general government,
and yet quite surplus would be lett
for a pro ratio distribution to the peo-
pie, to say nothing of wiping out the
public debt.
And yet another good feature Of this
plan would be that, should it fail OF
success through want of patronage, it
would at once and forever relieve that
excessive feeling of fatigue that comes
over the old veteran when he hears a
soldiers title bestowed upon one who
never smelt gunpowdcr. Yours for
the title tax. OLD REB.

Suppose there was bread famine

Neither money nor bread is OF any
value until used and no man has
moral right to place either beyond the

willing to give compensation for them.

A Texas Tragedy.

Waco, TEXAS, Aug. pa special
to the Evening NeaUs from Palo Pinto,
Texas, an obscure part Of the State,
says:
"Thc most horrible and bloody
crime ever perpetrated in this County
occurred last night about 10 o'clock
near Pleasant Valley, six miles to the
southeast of this place. Miss Ida
Beatty and James Bly, we're returning
home from Church together from
Pleasant Valley when they were sud
denly confronted by Ed. Nall, Win
chester in hand. Without warning,
Nall shot young Bly, through the
heart, killing him instantly. At the
firing of the first fatal shot, Miss Beat
tvs horse became frightened and made
a break for the woods, followed by
Nall. After running about four hum
dred yards, Nall succeeded in overtak-
ing her, and with one blow Of his gun
knocked her from her horse, crushing
her head. He then placed the muzzle
of the gun to her forehead and fred,
shooting a part of tue skull off and
scattering her brains all over the
ground. When he had destroyed be-
yond all doubts, the life Of the girl,
he then placed the gun to his own
head and sent his own soul into eter-
nifty. The top of his head was blown
off.
At the time the first shot was fired,
Captain j. M. Bly,, father of young
Bly,, was few hundred yards in the
advance of the couple. On hearing
the report of the gun, he turned back
and soon found his son lying in the
road dead. But Miss Beatty had dis
appeared. Assistance was immedi-
ately summoned. The neighborhood
was aroused and messenger dispatch
ed to Palo Pinto for medical aid and
officers. Sheriff Maddox and DR..
Warren repaired to the scene and
found the whole community thorough
ly aroused. Search was made for the
unfortunate girl, and both Nall aud
his victim were found within a few
feet of each other, about four hundred
yards from where young Bly, was muir
dered.
Jealousy was the cause Of the hor-
rible deed. Nall and Miss Beatty
were to be married about three weeks
ago, but it seems jealousy caused her
to break the engagement. Yesterday
young Bly, was in her company the
greater part of the day and accompa-
MED her to Church last night. Nall
was angered at seeing her in the COM
pany of another and this is supposed
to have prompted him to the murder.
James BLY, was the son Of j. NJ: Bly,,
an old and respected citizen Of this
county, and was a young man Of more
than ordinary ability, and we'll liked
by all who knew him. He was vice
president of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association at Wetherford. Miss
Beatty was the daughter of James
Beatty, and was universally liked and
respected. Nall was a resident of
Santo in this County, and stood we'll
in the community.

How TO prevent so much annual loss in
cupying the attention of the township
committee of Northampton. The exemp-
ton allowed by law to soldiers and active
firemen are the two drawbacks. Those
under the former heading are perfectly
secure, as membership in military COM
pany or possession of a certificate of ser
vice in the army are indisputable evil
dence on that point, but the "active"
clause in the firemen provision is what
the committee is attempting to gain light
on.
There are in Mount Holly four fire COM
panles with a membership of about 500,
of which member over one-haf claimed
and received exemption last year. Each
one is entitled to be relieved of taxation
on $500 worth of property, in addition to
poll tax. OF course there are many who
do not possess goods to the sum Of $500,
but there are those who do. and very
brief examination of the tax duplicate
for 1892, shows that deductions were al
lowed to the total of $4,000 with the al
phabet not exhausted beyond the
letter E.
The soldiers number about 100. Con-
sequently there are between 400 and
500 persons who yearly escape taxation
to certain extent because they are
members of one or the other of the two
organizations named.
How to overcome this state of affairs is
what is pulling the authorities. While
there is no desire to place restrictions up
on any one who is justly entitled to re-
bate, there is determination to curtail,
if possible, the number Of persons who,
by merely paying annual dues to the
amount of 80 cents or dollar, escape
taxes to the tune of So or 81. Where the
injustice comes in, is the fact that the ma
jority of this class are not active" In
any respect. To aid at a fire in any way
never enters their mind in fact, it is
doubtful if they are aware of membership
until called upon by the company col
lector for dues. There is a chance for
great reform in this respect, and the fire
companies should unite with the town
ship committee in an effort to revise the
list of "active" members.
