story of n Woman Who Ia Called
the storm Spirit.

"There Is storm spirit in Kentucky"
said r. C. Babbington. of that State, In
an exchange. 1T Is not n spirit In real
ity. but a woman who has become known
throughout that section by the name Of
the storm spirit She stands. when
storm Is portended, upon a prominence
overlooking the Kentucky River in Nor
gan County, and her appearance Is re-
garded as an infallible sign that rough
weather may be expected.
II saw her once, and will never for
get how she looked as she stood upon a
rocky ledge, her face. turned towards
the sky as II beseeching some unseen
power, her long hair floating in the
breeze, her face pale and emaciated,
but her expression firm and resolute.
MY guide. who was conducting me
through the mountains, said senten-
tiousy:
From several persons I learned her
history Once the belle of the mountain
side, she had plighted her troth to the
young man of her choice. He left for
Frankfort on a raft and was never heard
from afterwards. For many weary
months she awaited his return and then
they told her the truth. that he. had
been drowned in the treacherous river.
Then reason deserted her and ever
since. when a storm Is portended, she
goes upon the rocks and appears to
plead with the elements to stay their
fury that her lover may return"

ROBBERS AND MURDERERs.
wasps That Have Been Taken Red

Herr II. Lowenfels, quoted by Buch-

Henry George and Single Tax.

To the Editor:
c. Sullivans letter about Henry George and
the Pope Is best answered by Mr.. George himself
In his book, THE Condition OF Labor" pages %
and 40. The Pope says that industry expended on
land gives ownership IN the land itself, and Mr6
George answers: Your Holiness contends that in
dusry expended on land gives a right to ownerA
ship OF the land, and that the improvement of the
land creates benefit indistinguishabe and in
separable from the land itself. This contention,
II valid, could only Justify the ownership OF land
by those who expend industry it. It will not
justify private property in land II exists.
On the contrary. 1t would Justify gigantic. no.
rent declaration that would take land from those
who now legally own It. the landlords. and turn
It over to the tenants and laborers. But Your
Holiness cannot what your words imply.
What you really mean, take 1t. is that the
original justification and title OF land ownership
is in the expenditure Of labor on 1t. But neither
can this Justify private property In land as u
exists. For 1t Is not all but universally trus
that existing land titles do not come from use.
but from force fraud? Mr. Sullivan is right
in saving mo better text book can be CONS
mended to the enemies OF single tax" Let Mr..
Sullivan take another shot at It.
