earnestness OF Representative Boutelle OF
Maine. who denounced free trade and the
un-American spirit OF those who father
such a system. He did not fail to refer 70

THE INCOME TAX.

Bill.

ACCAuCU ~ HcROrt u separate

The income tax and the other internal
revenue features of the tariff bill will, ss
predicted. be reported as a separate meas
ure. This conclusion was reached at the
meeting of the committee this morning by
vote Of to g. Those who voted in The
affirmative were Messrs. Wilson wv. Val,
Breckenridge LArk.). Stevens (Mass). Cock
ran IN. ". Montgomery ky) and Bynum
QndD.
Messrs. Ryan (Neb.). McMillin Tenn) !,
Tarsney (Mo), Turner (ia) and Whiting
lMich.) opposed the proposition. 1t was be-
lieved, however, that the Incorporation of
the income tax in the tariff bill would Sc
rfously endanger the fate of the latter, snd
this consideration was sufficiently potent
to receive the support of the majority of
the committee. 1t was further decided to
report the internal revenue bill on Thurs
dag next. No suggestion was made at to-
days meeting looking to any increase in
the whisky tax beyond that already agree
upon by the committee. nor IL any likely

In the year 1907, when Queen Louise of
Prussia, with her children, had left Der
lin to accept an asylum in the vicinity of
Dantzig, a broken axle of her wagon caused
a delay of couple of hours. The two
princes, Fritz and Wilhelm, soon got tired
and went to gather wild flowers, which
they brought to their mother. The greater
part of these We're the blue cornflower
(Centaurea cyanus), so commonly seen in
the wheat and rye fields of Germany. or
these the queen made little wreaths to
amuse her children. One was put on the
head of the younger, Wilhelm, who then
had beautiful head of blond hair. The
effect pleased her so much that she smil-
ingly embraced and kissed him, and for
the first time since Prussia's great misfor,
tune the young princes saw their mother
happy once more. Blue cornflowers, wher-
ever seen after this, naturally reminded
Wilhelm, the revenger of his family and
liberator of Germany, always of his be-
loved mother. -Hugo Mulertt.
