her.
Half an hour later the SlOcums' old
horse, drawing the Slocums' old buggy,
plugged softly through the sand on the
road to Barnton.
The whippoorwills were singing, and
the little room was bathed in moon
light. Caroline, kneeling by the win
dow, bowed her head ON her arms and
remained motionless. She was think
ing of the last time she had knelt there.
Downstairs they were talking. She
could hear Jim's drawling voice and
her fathers laugh, and, now and then,
her mothers soft, dragging footsteps
as she moved about. The last sound
wrung her breast. Her poor mother!
All the long companionable hours they
had spent together in the busy house
hold life rushed upon the girls mem
ory. She had left this dear little niche
in life, had forfeited her right to it,
and for what? What was Jim? What
did she care for him? Slow, lazy, stu
pid, like all the rest of the Slocums.
The door at the foot Of the stairs
opened.

HOEING AND PRAYING.

Slid Farmer Jones, n whining tone,
To the good old neighbor Gray:
"I've worn my kaees thro' TO the bone
But it ain't no use to pray.
"Your corn looks just twice as good as
mine,
Though you don't pretend TO be
a shinin' light in the church TO shine,
Aa' tell salvation's free.
'I've prayed to the Lord thousand
times
For 10 make that ere corn grow;
A 4 why yourn beats il so an climbs,
Id gin n good deal To know.
Said Farmer Gray, to his neighbor Jones,
In his easy, quiet way;
When prayers get mixed with lazy
bones,
They don't make farmin' pay.
Your weeds,I notice, are good an tall,
In spite of all your prayers:
You may pray for corn till the heavens
fall,
IfYou don't dig up the tares.
III mix my prayers with little toll,
Along in every row;
An work this mixture into the soil,
Quite Vigorous with hoe.
AN I've discovered, though still in sin,
As sure as you are born,
This kind of compost well worked in
Makes pretty decent corn.
$50 while I'm praying / use my hoe,
An do my level best.
To keep down the weeds along each
row,
An the Lord He does the rest
ITS well TO pray, both night an morn,
AS every farmer knows;
But the place to pay for thrifty corn
lis right between the rows
You must use your hands while pray
ing, though,
IL an answer you would get,
For pray-worn knees an rusty hoe,
Never raised big crop yet.
IAN so / believe, my good old friend,
If you mean to win the day,
From plowing clean, TO the harvest's
end,
You must hoe as well as pray"

"Populist," answered the boy.
"Why call him Populist?" asked

earnestly desired by the income tax
officials as, with full bench, there
would necessarily be a full ma jority,
either for or against the law, which
would certainly have the effect of do

litigation now promised. AS to the
chances of the courts deciding adj
Versely to the law, the officials feel
little uneasiness. They argue that the
direct tax question, which some men,
bers of the court regarded as deeply
involved, was hardly touched upon in
the argument of the case on behalf
OF the government, it's counsel as
Stunning that the court could hardly
desire discussion of subject which
they thought by reason of long line
of decisions had ceased to be an open
question. Mr.. Lindsay, of Kentucky,
speaking on this matter, today said:
If the federal government has not
the power to raise revenues by TAX
ing incomes arising from rents of real
estate i'll time of peace, neither has
1t that power in time of war. 1t is
most important that the question shall
be finally and conclusively decided by
the supreme court at an early day.
If the power does not exist, it should
be supplied by constitutional amend
ment The civil war established the
right of the federal government to
operate upon individuals in the en-
forcement of federal authority" The
government should have like power in
the taxation of all incomes.

publication of the call for the

political tone injected into the docu-

the effect that the men who saved
the government should be factor in

make their demands has already re-
suited in an avalanche of letters
pouring down upon the promoters of
the reunion from veterans all over
the country. Many of these depre-
cate any effort in the direction OF
mixing sentiment with politics, or
with mixing up the ex-soldiers of
the war as such, in any political
movement, but the majority COM
mend the call and re-echo it's senti.

The National committee gives OUT
the following: In response to let.

the following instructions are given:
Every state is expected and re-
quested to hold state convention
for itself on May 80, and there and

send as many as it deems proper, but
no state shall have more or less than
two votes in the convention proceed
