OLD WAYS.
Two Characteristic Stories of Jackson's
B!untness When lie Was President.

W q ne as 1EeSl0oUI.
General Armstrong, assistant COM
missioner OF Indian affairs, thinks that
Andrew jackson was II Of the greatest
men this county ever produced and
has a number of stories which We're told
him by his uncle. who wa an intimate
friend Of Old Hickory. One Of them is
very characteristic Of the man.
Lewis Cass, secretary Of war, was
over at the White House one day with
some important papers for the president
to sign, among them being a court mar
tial findings.
"Cass, what is this?:" inquired Jack.
fon as he was about to write his name
to the document.
ut is q court MARTIAL" answered
Cass.
What have 1 to do with it?p asked
the president.
ut dislmisses an officer from the sery-
ice, and the president must sign such Or
ders."
Jackson toyed with the paper and
said musingly: "Dismisses him from
the army, eh? Why"
Drunkenness; getting drunk and
falling down on parade OF something of
that kind, answered the secretary.
WHO ordered the ~court?'' asked Jack
son.
General Scott" answered Cass.
"Who is it," inquired the president,
with more interest.
Inspector General Krarn," replied
Cass.
"What!' shouted Jackson. my old
friend Kraun! Cass, just read what
that paper says"
The secretary read the usual form Of
the court martial sentence in such cases.
The president then took the paper and
wrote across the bottom where he was
about to sign his name:
1.-THE within findings are disapprov-
ed, and Colonel Kraun is restored to
his duty and rank
He passed the paper back to Secreta-
ry Cass and said, with his usual vehe-
mence:
by the Eternal, Cass, when you and
Scott serve your country as we'll as that
man has you can get drunk on duty ev-
cry day"
A young man from Tennessee, son Of
a friend Of General Jackson's, came to
Washington for a place. He looked
about and found what he wanted. It
was in the wal department and filled
by a very efficient Wing, whom Secre-
tary Cass would not remove. The young
man told jackson the situation, and
Cass was sent for.
Cas-" said the president, "this
young man, son of my old friend, says
you have got a place in the war depart
ment filled by a Wing which you won't
give him."
Secretary Cass explained that the
duties of the Office were Of a peculiar
kind, and he could get no one to fill the
place if the man now in it should be re-
moved. Jackson flared up.
by the Eternal, Cass, do you mean
to tell me you have an office in your de-
partment filled by a Wing which can't
be filled by a Democrat? Then abolish
the ~ofice!''
The young man got his place.

Forest Fire Phenomena.

The phenomena Of sheets Of flame and
balls Of fire which accompany forest
fires are explained by a writer as due to
gases in the air, which arise from tur-
pentine. -esinous gums and volatile oils
which exude from evergreen trees.
These are easily ignited and explode in
the air in dry weather.

Complete Decision Asked.

The New York World has the fol-
lowing to say on the income tax law:
The counsel opposed to the income
tax law have petitioned the supreme
court to decide with full bench all
the questions left undetermined by
the late decision. They want the
court to decide:
81 Whether the void provisions
as to land rents, etc., invalidate the
whole law.
"2. Whether or not the income
tax is direct and therefore void, a
point, left undecided by the division
Of the sitting judges in opinion.
IS. Whether any part Of the tax
is invalid for lack Of the uniform =
ty' required by the constitution.
This is very well. 1t is tradi-
ton of the court that upon constitu-
tional questions contestants and the
country itself are entitled to an AFR
native decision by the majority of
the full bench. In this case it is es-
pecially important that the questions
presented shall be so ruled upon. in
order that the country may know
definitely what its constitutional
rights are in the matter of equalizing
taxation. 1t may be anarchy for
the people to demand an alteration
of the constitutional ways+as GER
tain wise newspapers contend-but
the people Of the country want to do
precisely that il it is decided BY q
full bench that under the constitu.
ton as it stands their representa-
tives congress have no authority to
levy taxes with some approach to
equality and equity"

One of the encouraging facts of the
industrial situation is an important
increase in savings banks deposits.
The Financial Chronicle reports .
steady rise of such deposits in the
eastern states. making them at the
present time larger than ever before.
In communities where such banks
flourish their deposit accounts are q
good test of the condition Of the great
body Of wage receivers. The fact
that saving bank deposits have not
only been greatly reduced. but on
the contrary are in the aggregate in
creased. and are now greater. in
amount than ever before. proves that
the provident section of those work.
ing for wages are in q most encour-
aging financial condition, having
successfully weathered the distress
ing period of industrial depression
from which the country is now hap
PLY emerging.
