An Unappreciated Compliment.

A New York drummer reaching St. Louis
Tor the first time some years ago was at a loss
to ind the establishment OF an exceedingly
wealthy customer who had a country wide
reputation for his miserly qualities, says the
New York Herald.
In his journeys back and forth from his
hotel to the establishments OF his other Gus
toners he had passed the store. however
again and again. 1t was such shabby place
ne had not noticed it, for the windows were
dirty, the ane on the sign over the door oh
liberated and the glass letters on that at the
window half missing.
At last the shop was Dointed out IN him and
ne decided to make his call. In the mean
while the customer had heard of the drum
merS presence in the city and as the latter
represented one OF the most prominent whole
SAFE houses OF New York he had become
somewhat nettled at the delay in calling
which he regarded as a deliberate slight
The drummer thought he would make the
ODnterated sign medium not only of apology
but also of lngratiating himself into the
other good graces. On entering the store he
went up TO the old man and said by way of in
troductiOn:-
How do you do. Mr.. w? I've been in St
Louis 1ve days, but did not discover your
mousse before. l want to congratulate YOU for
so Iar as know there are only three firms in
TINS country that can do dry goods business
without displaying their firm name They
are yourself. A. T. Stewart of New York and
John ShillittO, of Cincinnati"
Then he paused to mark the effect thinking
mat the linking OF the name with that of such
prominent merchants as Stewart and Shillito
would put the old miser in good humor Quite
the contrary, however, for the man. thinking
Unat MS parslmony was In question, replied:
well that all right. The people we want
TO see nave no trouble in finding u.s.
win that he turned away. and the drum
mer failed utterly in his further attempts to
interest him in his samples.

A Ravenua on Sugar.

The New York World says that the re-
port from Washington that the President
is disposed tofavor tax of 1 cent pound
on raw sugar is preposterous. Why pre-
posterous? Is not sugar clearly a revenue
articlel The World says that sugar is q
raw material, and also a necessary Of
life, and that it is against the principles
of the Democratic party to tax either
raw materials or the necessaries Of life.
In a general sense that is true. but if
strictly applied many articles now taxed
by the Wilson bill would have to go to
the free list. a revenue must be raised,
aud it must come mainly from taxes on
imports, and the aim of the Democratic
party in levying these taxes is to make
them bear as lightly as possible on the
necessaries Of life and to prevent monopO-
lies.
Sugar has always been regarded as
revenue article, because so little of the
amount consumed in this country is pro-
duced at home. The revenue from it is
easily collected and a tax of l cent a
pound on it would produce between S35,-
100000 and $40, 100000 a year. That
would not be sufficient to meet the esti-
mated deficiency, but it would go a long
way towards doing so. Besides part of
the deficiency is due to the sugar bounty,
which amounts to more than $4,000, 900 a
year. The repeating of the sugar bounty,
and the taxing of sugar l cent pound
would be equivalent to an increase in the
revenue of nearly $50 100000 That
amount would be nearly enough to cover
the deficiency
From present indications there is going
to develop great difference of opinion
among democratic congressman as to
whether it is better to levy a tax on
sugar or to impose an income tax. While
the business of a properly imposed income
tax will hardly be questioned, there is no
doubt that it would prove to be a very I'm
popular tax because of its inquisitorial
character and the publicity it gives to an
individuals private affairs. 1t will make
enemies for the party, and the efforts for
its repeal would be persistent. Another
objection to it is that it would
be most difficult matter to
get true statement from each indi-
vidual liable for the tax of his income.
The income tax that was imposed during
the war was repealed, just as soon as the
revenues would permit, on account of
that and other objections to it.
II is considered to be almost certain
that the House will not approve of the
sugar bounty feature of the Wilson bill.
The giving of bounties is undemocratic and
the grain and cotton farmers cannot I'M

entitled to bounty as the sugar farmers.
There is certainly a chance that sugar
will 60 on the tax list.

Cool Mexican aamhlers

The coolest gamblers ON earth are the
MeXlcans,' said Charles b Summerfeld a
traveller from the land of the Tamala TO a
Washington Post writer. win or lose, they
never display the slightest chagrin or low.
They won't raise row as our American gam
blerS do when they are beaten I was sitting
one evening at the monte table in the great
gambling resort Of Mexico, situated in a Su-
burb OF the City of Mexico. There were two
Americans whom had seen around the table
on several occasions. One was a railroad
man and the other was the most expert short
card manipulation l ever saw. They PLAYED
for very small stakes for several DAYS. Then
one day the railroad man came in sat down
and began to play. The ShOrt-card man fol-
lowed HIM in about half an hour and took u
seat nVe or SIX chairs away. i saw him take
large, silk handkerchief from his pocket
and spread it over his knees. In. Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to cut
the cards when he makes pet The short
card man brought with him pack of cards
exactly similar to those used in the game.
Fact is, the backs of these cards are all
aLke. When he was given the cards to cut
he substituted another pack on the top of
which was card u king, which would make
him win. He had put down 81 800 on the king
on the board. He cut the dc ller turned and
of course he won. The pack that the dealer
had handed him to cut lay in the silk hand
kerchiei spread over his knees. He gathered
the handkerchief together put it in his
pocket, took his 81, 600 and left. His confed-
crate played on for few minutes making
small bets, and then cashed in. AS he turned
to go the dealer, who knew he had been
robbed, but could not quite comprehend how
it had been done said very quietly:
Very well done, Senor.'
AN American gambler would have raised a
row and pulled his gun and demanded his
money They watch Americans very closely
in that game now
