BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity. just
as they reached the middle of crossing
one of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di.
rectly in front of a cable car which was
rounding the corner. Of course the car had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil-
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man a kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared:
"Confound, you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
"You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save mans life and then kick
him for it."-Chicago Times Herald

THE amendments which will be made
TO the war tax bill next winter will
not materially cut down the sum total
of receipts from that source. Inequal-
tiles will be leveled, n few features
which are annoying to the masses and
which embarrass business may be
stricken out obscure points may be
cleared up, but the law as whole will
not be changed. The principal reason
for this non-action will be that the
government will need the revenue.
The war tax produces about $40. 900, 600,
and that amount will be required in
addition to the revenue from laws pre-,
viously enacted.

THERE seems to be good reason, the
Chicago Record says, for the lamen ta-

tion because there are more unmarried
men than unmarried women in the

T67 bachelors in the United States
there are only SEGA. 404 unmarried
ladies. Many of the men may have re-
mained single because of the rejection
of their advances in times past, but
