SOmebOdy,a Mother.

customed to play many of them bare
footed. A burly policeman stationed
at the corner watched the woman sus-
piciously. Half way across she stopped
and picked up something which she hid
in her apron. In an instant the police
man was by her side With a gruff
voice and threatening manner he de-
manded
"What are you carrying off in your
apron p
The woman seemed embarrassed and
refused to answer. Thereupon the Off

doubtless picked up pocketbook which
she was trying to make away with,
threatened to arrest her unless she told
him at once what she had in her apron
At this the woman reluctantly unfold

broken glass.

DECISION UPHOLDS WAR TAX
Applies to Board of Trade and
StoCkyards Transactions.
SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUS.
Opinion Handed Down at washington
by Justice Peckha insult Was Brought
by Chicago Brokers to Test the
Validity of the War Revenue Act

Washington, April 4.-The Federal
Supreme court today rendered a de-
cision in the several cases brought by
Chicago brokers to test the validity
OF that provision of the war revenue
act which imposes a stamp tax on
board of trade contracts for future de-
livery. The court sustains the law and
holds that the contentious of the brok-
ers are without merit The decision Is
sweeping and conclusive. The liti-
gants-James Nicol, Edwin Skillen and
George r. Nichols-will have to pay
their fines and comply with the re-
quirements Of the law or go to Jail.
The decision will have an important
effect on scalping operations not only
on the Chicago board Of trade, but on
all commercial and financial ex-
changes. 1t means tax on that class
of trade Of many thousands of dollars
a month for Chicago alone. The opin-
ion Of the court was handed down by
Justice Peckham; there was no dissent.
In another case a similar opinion
was rendered with regard to taxes
upon transactions at stockyards.

The Truthful Marksman.

An extraordinary shooting adventure
is recorded by A. l.. Butler of the State
museum, Selangor. Malaga. One day
in last July Malay woodcutter went
out into the jungle to cut fuel, taking
with him an old single barreled. muz
zle loading gun loaded with the rather
unscientific charge Of bullet and -four
buckshot. Moving quietly through the
jungle, he suddenly came upon tiger
feeding on the carcass of a sambhur,
and with touching confidence in his
weapon fired at distance of 30 PAGES.
The tiger rolled over. and when the
Malay cautiously approached he found
not one dead tiger. but two. the second
having been hidden from the sports
man. though only few feet distant
from the animal he fred at
Mr.. Butler. who made a post mortem
examination Of the tigers after they
had been skinned. found that in each
case single buckshot had gone to the
heart. One had also an insignificant
wound on the head from another pellet.
"For really appalling fiuke," as Mr..
Butler says, this achievement of the
Malay woodcutter will be hard to beat.
It certainly is not q performance any
sane white man win try to parallel,
much less to eclipse.

Making "a Football.

A football requires vast amount of
work before ii is ready FOR kicking over
the gridiron.
The balls are covered with cowhide
which must have remained in the tan
pits a year or more. The hides are from
to 8 feet long, to feet wide and
before splitting weigh from 30 to 80
pounds. The skin has to be split into
two layers. The part to be used is
soaked for few days in a cleansing
preparation. 1t is "sleeked" out to
make it firm. 1t is fed and cut into
shape. The strips are stitched, always
by hand. The bladder is or should be of
the finest Para rubber, and undergoes
perhaps more processes than the cow
hide. 1t is as necessary to the football as
pneumatic tires are to the cycle; in fact,
even more so. since no effective substi-
tute for an air bladder has yet been dis
covered The bladder is of immense
strength. and is fitted with a nozzle
through which the air is injected.
These bladders are an expensive item
and represent considerable portion of
the cost of manufacture. The bladder
Is inserted through the unlaced slit.
and the next process is to blow it up
The rubber nozzle fits over a metal
tube on the machine. A few turns Of
the hand wheel and the ball is inflated
