Dietiup on the Side.

A certain stout lady resolved to con-
suit a physician about her corpulence.
She had no previous experience with
.'banting" of any sort. The doctor DIRE"
up a careful dietary for her. She must
eat dry toast, plain boiled beef and
few other things of the same lean sort,
and in a month return and report the
r0ult.
At the end Of the time the lady came
and was so stout she could hardly get
through the door. The doctor was
aghast.
did you eat what 1 told you?' he
asked.
"Religiously," she answered.
His brow wrinkled in perplexity. Sud
denly he had flash Of inspiration.
Did you eat anything else?' he ask
ed
"Why, my ordinary meals" said the
lady.-Pearson's Weekly.

INCOME TAX REvIVING.

A new terror rises up to deepen the
dismay of the abject bondmongers
1t is that If war comes there VIII Dc
another tax agitation for income tax.
One of their organs remarks with
bated breath: IF the income tax Is I'M
possible under the constitution as 1t
stands. there would certainly be Il
movement to amend the constitution
in that particular" This is dreadful
to think Of Such a peril is quite enough
to put all thoughts of preserving the
national honor and dignity out of mimi.
If the fool people are likely to get at
the incomes of those who run the goT-
ernment as n business enterprise for
their own profit, and make them pay
for their privileges, what is the use Oh
living?-St. Louis POst-Dispatch.

TaxafSou IN Make I'm Deficit.

Whether we have war or peace with
Spain we shall have to pay the cost of
getting ready for war, and suggestions
for internal taxes are heard here and
there. But it is misleading, in the pres
ent condition of the national income, to
call these proposed taxes war taxes.
Why should not the ruling political par
ty in Congress face the fact that its rev.
enue laws do not bring in enough In
come to meet the expenditures of the
Government on peace footing? There
should be no humbug about increasing
taxation because of making war or
making ready for war. What the treas
ury demands is more revenue than
Dingleyism produces whether for war
or for peace.-BoSton Post.

Amusiu1 RluntlerS.
Is Americas Greatest Spring Medicine.

Many of the errors in books and pa.
pers arise from mistakes in punctua-
tion. A writer in a ladies' journal
states that at has become quite the
fashion of late for ladies to take their
tea in their hats and gloves" The Ia
dies suffered more severely at the
hands Of n Washington reporter who,
describing the costumes at the presi-
dental reception, had intended to say
that Mrs. b. wore nothing in the ma
ture Of dress that was remarkable.
He left hurriedly for the West next
day, when he opened the paper and
read: Mrs. Brown wore nothing in the
nature of dress. THAI was remarka-
ble." A London paper reported on one
occasion the capture in ''mid-channel
of a large man-eating shark. A pro-
vincial journal, copying the paragraph
but less careful about the punctuation,
gave a different version of the incident:
"A large man, eating shark, was cap
tured in mid-channel" Herbert Spen-
Ger once wrote, whales are not nsn
because they possess fins, and nsh,
like TALL" but what the public read
was: ''Whales are not fish, because
they possess fins and fish-like tail,
which truly is most remarkable rea-
son why whales are not fish. But per
haps the most amusing instance OF the
ludicrous effects of wrong punctuation
is afforded in the following description
of the Jubilee procession, which ap'
peared in an East Anglican weekly pa
per: "Next came Lord Roberts riding
On a gray Arab steed wearing splen
did scarlet uniform, covered with med
ais on his head, a field marshals nal

He Would Kick ANYWAY.

The discipline of the older section Of
the country is not much more severe
than that of the newly settled regions,
where they think the easterners are alb
surdly finical and only shade less
fussy than the English. A hotel clerk
beyond the Missouri once advised Il
Bostonian in a friendly spirit never to
register from Boston. Why" the in
nocent Bostonian inquired. Because
answered the clerk, ''out here we al
ways give n man from Boston the poor
