EXEGESIS OFJOVE.

The happiest Of unhappy loves is
the calf love which may come 10 the
eXhuberant youth Of either sex. and
again to the older and experienced of
both. That ideal of perfect conso-
nance, of eternal fitness, of inexpressi-
bic harmonieS of soul and body, of
brain and all impossible only in
dreams, of sure dissolution in the cru
chile of grinding experience. Its ever
the bee after honey in Il flower that
proves poisonous. Still it is the in
visible golden thread that holds the
pendant world, the sacred flame that
is fed by all passions and by what
ever makS life desirable Or even en-
durable. And so Boyesen says the
oldest thing Of all, as | look upon
this unhappy love-" is that it was not
particularly unhappy. In the first
place, it miniStered most potently to
my Self-reSpect. Neither before nor
since have L been half so interesting

blimely gloomy language: | wrote des-
pairing Sonnets full of youthful maw-
kiShneSS; and | extracted conscien-
tiously the last drop of bitterness which
the situation was capable of Welding.
Truth To tell, l kept meeting my pre-
destined maiden, off and on. in one
guiSe or another. for years. and at
last becoming skeptical, ceased to
look for her. If | had found her. the

concerned, would have been solved.

harmony which would have rung richly
and clearly through our united lives.
But how many of Us are there who

Miss Bache were united in marriage
at the home of Mrs. Colonel Campbell

ton that sent him onward and upward.
No less a pride is felt in the charming
young lady whom he proudly proclaims

KANSAS RAILWAY TAXATION

WICHITA IS NO WORSE.

Never We're SO many people DESTROYS
of emigrating as now, Everybody,
everywhere is talking of relocating
at some other and some favorable
point. The business upon which they
! have relied for years has failed them
or otherwise no longer makes returns
adequate to the time expended or the
capital involved A new location,
therefore, must be found. and imme-
diately.
The above sums up, briefly, the con-
dition of affairs in almost, il not in
all, of the communities of all the
states, east and west. And Wichita
is no exception. Their has been dis
couragments without end, but not more
than in other localities, nor different
in character. The stacnation which
come of Il want of confidence the bus
mess paralysis which has deprecated
property values of every character
fully One-half and ruined hundreds of
thousands of the debtor classes, in
Guiding men in every line of business
from the banker TO the peanut vender,
has not been more marked one place
than another. a few. very few, OF the
rich old and conservative cities have
had a smaller per cent of actual in
diyidual failures, but the shrinkage
Of all these cities possess, either in the
way of realty values. or in the lines
of commercial business or manufac-
lures, have proved no exception. Ev-
erything from the bushel of wheat to
the silver that goes To- make up the
dollar, gold only excepted, has met the
same discouraging fate.
We do not claim Wichita to be par
ticular or a brilliant exception in the
above conditions. Heaven knows
that we, as a people, have proved
heroic in our efforts To rise superior
TO the ail-leyeling wave. Men have
for weary months, struggled and hoped
only TO go down, finally, before un-
surmountable difficulties. Such fail
ures have only Intensified the distrust
Of those who have been enabled 10
stand until. at times. many more were
ready to throw up their hands in sur
render
But Wichita if not all right is as
right as any city in the west Pro
portionately she has suffered no more
than Denver, Omaha, Kansas City or
than many other pretentious centers
To be entirely convinced of this fact
the doubter has but to visit other cities
long enough to look into their existing
conditions In the way of elements
of growth and prosperity. Wichita
has lost nothing afforded by natural
location or of subsequent acquire
ments. Fully One-half of the entire
seventy millions Of people of this
country are in distress, as also the
other half in 4 greater or less degree.
and Wichita is not only no exception.
but there is no chance for an individual
betterment to be found in re-locat-
ing, to say nothing of the many draw
backs of Il move. When conditions
are again found favorable or inn
proved elsewhere affairs in this city
will show an encouraging tendency
also, and i'll any general resumption
of prosperity Wichita will be among
the first to evince the fact.

INCOME LAW EXTENDED.

The joint resolution of the house eX-
tending from March l to April II the
time for making income tax returns
having passed the senate with amend
ment was referred to a conference COM
mittee. The cOmmitte agreed to the
senate amendments providing that in
computing incomes amounts paid for
fire insurance premiums and for Ordi
nary repairs upon any real eStnte shall
be deducted from the rents accrued or
received from such real estate, and also
that the amounts received as divi-
dendS upon the stock of any corpora
ton, company or association shall not
be included in. case such dividends
are also liable TO the tax of > per
centum upon the net profits of said
corporation, company or association at
the time of making returns yb the
person, corporation or association re-
ceiving such dividends.
Both houses have agreed To the re-
port of the conference committee. and
the resolution will doubtless meet
with the approval of the president.

entries will thus be extended to April
