BEER TAX.
Not Much Money but Plenty Of Froth
i'm the Beverage.


The proposed tax on beer will effect
the sale OF that beverage TO some ex-
tent. it is believed. but the consumer will
be the party Effected
The proposed increase OF the tax on
beer has not as yet been the> means OF
decreasing the size OF the beer as passed
over the bar 10 the thirsty mortal In
front but II is calculated that the size
OF the glass will be perceptibly lessened
I'm a few days.
There is very little money In beer
even now" said a prominent dealer In
the frothy liquid. land the increase in
the tax will. naturally. tend 10 throw
some obstacle around the matter OF SELL
ing beer.
"If a retailer, who sells the large sized
glasses at Aye cents, Is able 10 clear
thirty-five cents on a keg he Is doing
well. and when the beverage Is sold in
buckets and pitchers still less Is made.
'Of course. the dealer who passes the
small glassee over the counter with little
else than froth therein. makes fairly good
profit.
ut will be out Of the question 10 charge
more than Ave cents for beer, so the only
redress left the dealer is TO serve the
stun in smaller glasses and with higher
collars"

without waiting to give the check to


Without waiting to give the check to
the maid, I seized my cloak and got in
TO it as we rushed down the stairs,
aided by my brother. AS We seated
ourselves in the street car l put my
hand into the coat pocket for my nit
tens to cover the thin kid gloves and
protect my hands from the cold. To
my establishment, l drew out dainty
pair of silk ones in place OF the sober
brown saxony wool pair knit by my
own dear mother How could this
thing be? l was sure that it was my
own cloak, for had been assured that
the only one like it had been sent to
Denver. Clearly someone must have
put them into my pocket by mistake.
I felt in another pocket to find my own
and was surprised to discover a letter
enclosing a photograph of a young
man, who, to my mind, was decidedly
good looking.
Frank glanced at it and remarked
that he was not aware that | had such
a handsome friend With just bit OF
vexation apparent, I told him about
my cloak and the story of the sales
woman
''Then it must be that the lady from
Denver is visiting Boston and has
penchant for the theater also" he re-
marked with smile.
Hoping to discover a clue to the
owner of the cloak so as to return the
mittens, the cloaks were exact coun-
terparts and equally new, read the
letter, which was addressed to Miss
Annie Shaw, Scotia, N Y. 1t began,
Dear Man," and ended Ever thine,
Fred" 1t was brimful of nonsense,
but contained nothing to indicate the
relationship of the parties. l immedl-
ately concluded that they must be low
ers.
ga fair exchange is no robbery" it
is said, SO as the principal point OF
difference in the property was in the
mittens, I made no effort to find Miss
Shaw, convinced that she was but
visitor to the city and that I could not
trace her through the directory. l
The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1898-12-27

diligently read the papers, however,
lest she might desire to regain the
photo and would advertise, but l saw
no notice.
Not long afterwards as I was rush
ing through the street to a car sta
ton, suburbanites are always in hur-
ry, heard hasty steps behind me and
strong arm was laid upon my
shoulder with a, Whats your hurry,
Nan? I am all out of breath chasing
you
I turned my head and the stranger
saw my face, he raised his hat courte-
ously and said:
Pardon me, but you are not Nan if
you are wearing her new cloak"
well knew that it was decidedly
improper to speak to stranger on the
street, but zeal to discover Miss Shaw
and restore her mittens led me to an
swer him in his own spirit.
Thanks, but this is not Mans cloak,
it is my own
With a confused apology he was
about to leave me when | detained him
and rehearsed the story of the ex-
change Of garments and asked his as
sistance to regain my own. With a
peculiar reticence, I refrained from
mentioning the. photo as recognized
its original before me, telling only of
the mittens as the point of difference.
He said that he knew the young
lady well, in fact had been her escort
that evening as she was visiting
friends of his own. For some unex-
planned reason she had seemed very
DESTROYS of regaining her cloak al
though, so far as he could perceive,
there was no difference between them.
Feeling anxious to restore Miss
Shaw's property, for that was her
name, gave him my address and he
promised to bring her to call upon
me. By this time we had reached the
car station and after assisting me into
the car he turned away.
Not long afterwards Miss Shaw and
Fred" whom I learned was "Mr.
Jackson" called and we had merry
evening as we discussed the contre-
temps Of the cloaks, especially as
Nan" said:
Il could not understand the ex-
change as | prided myself on being
the sole possessor of a cloak of this
peculiar style of trimming
Are you from Denver?" I asked.
She looked bit puzzled and then
laughed heartily as she told the same
story which had inveigled me into the
purchase.
Miss Shaw declared that she would

ClOakS! Yes, madam" a dubious
compliment to the maturity of my APP
pearance: Twill you have fur circu-
lar? Here is one of the best silk with
a mink lining, only one hundred and
twenty-five dollars
Feeling very humble, I made known
the fact that cloth cloak was what l
was seeking, and the young woman led
the way to another department.
Nov here is one that can fully
recommend" she said after had final
ly made her comprehend that twenty
five dollars was my limit. "This is
pattern cloak, and but two of them
were imported, the other was sent to
Denver. We only use them for sugges-
lions, never copying exactly, so you
need not be afraid of having a common
garment
I confess that the last argument was
conclusive, as I despised the ready
made garments which were sold by the
hundreds exactly alike, making class
of buyers look as though they were in
uniform. Turning regretfully away
from the handsomer garments, I pur-
chased the cheaper one, the sole speci-
men of it's style. Feeling that of a

if was really grateful for the cloak
that | was able to possess as thought
of the more beautiful one, which I
wanted so badly.
My new cloak was like charity, in
asmuch as that it would cover many
sins in the way Of shabby dresses, and
enable me to make quite a respectable
appearance despite my too obtrusive
poverty, for I was but a working
woman
My dear father little thought Of the
sorrow in store for his petted daughter
when he SO tenderly provided for her
every want and would not permit her
to learn self-reliance or any means of
support. When he passed away, about
four years prior to the opening of my
story, the little property that was left
after all was settled up, simply pro-
vided a small income for mother,
brother and I having renowned our
claims thereto. Frank urged us both
to make our home with his family, but
l did not want to. Mother being able
to pay small sum for board was very
happy with her children and grand
children and I sought to earn my liv-
ing in Boston forty miles distant from
the family.
1t was very stern discipline for me to
go directly from fine home into the
struggle of life, especially as l had no
idea how l could turn my talents, en-
tireIy unframed, into money. I am
sure that were it possible for my father
to be conscious of my trials, he would
share my sufferings and bitterly re-
gret that I had not been educated to a
regular business.
Embroidery, in which I was skilled,
offered small compensation, but I
thankfully accepted it and at last
learned to do acceptable work, and for
my own trade, so that felt measur-
ably independent.

Frank came to the city for brief visit
and made me present of ten dollars,
which, added to what I had, enabled
me to get the coveted garment.
He had asked me to go and see

fastened to procure my cloak so as to
