A BACHELORS REFLECTIONS

A BACHELORS REFLECTIONS.
A man is all right if you let
him alone; a woman is if you
don't.
1t takes d man on an avera ge
about a day and half to fall
in love and five days to buy a
hat.
No man ever gets any salts
faction out of a scoldiug wom-

she cries.
If a man had sense enough TO
act when he wants girl like
he does when he is going to buy
a horse, he could get her every
time.
Probably very few women
ever take money out of their
husbands pants pockets, Most
of them turn them upside down
and pick it up on the floor.
No man can love woman
long who she knows doesn't
trust him.
A man lives to get even; a
woman to make the world think
she's doing it.
When a mans heart is hurt
his first instinct is to hide him
self; woman's first instinct is
to hide the hurt.
Women give love a good rep.
utation much as they do their
servants-because they are
afraid if they don't it will tell
other women their secrets.
When man gets a letter with
some bad news in it he carries
it around with him till he gets

one she hides it away some

The Arab who has angered camel
will throw his clothes upon the ground,
and the infuriated beast, after stamp
ing ON them and tearing them asunder
with his teeth, goes on his way, and
the driver is thereafter quite safe, as it
seems to be an axiom with the camel
that no man shall be put in peril of life
twice for one offense.
The camel is stupid, save when angry,
and then seems to become almost pre-
ternaturaI in carrying out its vengeful
designs. Palgrave relates nle following
story of camel $ revenge, %hich serves
to illustrate this point "a lad of IA
had conducted large camel laden with
wood from one village to another at
half hours distance As the animal
loitered or turned out of the way its
conductor struck it repeatedly and
harder than it seemed to have thought
he had right to do. But not finding
the occasion favorable for taking imme-
diate quits it 'bode its time That time
was not long in coming.
"A few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast but unladen. to
his own village When they were about
half way on the road and at some dis
tance from any habitation the camel
suddenly stopped looked deliberately
round in every direction to assure it

THE TAX STRIKERS BURDEN.

y N interesting question which should have been
I ! considered shortly after the enactment of the
revenue law and the refusal OF the ex-
press companies of the United States to pay their
taxes is, How are the people who are bearing
the Government burdens OF these corporations going
to recoup themselves? According to estimates the
people of the Pacific Coast are paying between $4,000
and $4,000 month to the Government which should
be paid by Wells, Fargo & Co.
This money is being disbursed entirely under pro-
test Whenever person offers package to Wells,
Fargo & Co. for shipment that corporation issues
receipt and informs the shipper that he must stick
one cent revenue stamp upon it The only alternative
for the shipper is to comply take his package else
where, which is usually expensive operation, both
to time and transportation charges, since other
corporation in this vicinity is engaged in the bust
ness OF shipping small packages by rail- The opera
ton is OF the buldozng order. You may either pay
the express companys war taxes or you may trans
port your package yourself, which in these days of
long distances and bad roads is very painful pro
ceeding
SO far as we know there is no possibility OF the
people ever getting this money back. Every dollar
which they pay to the Government in liquidation Of
the war taxes Of the express companies lost them
forever The widest dreamer who ever considered
the subject has not suggested that in the eX-
press companies are ultimately defeated IN the It'll
CATION which has been instituted against them they
will return shippers the value Of the stamps placed
by them upon the receipts and bills of ading issued
under the law.
There is a legal maxim which says that for every
wrong there is remedy, but unless somebody can
invent retroactive statute which will apply to this
case there is here outrage for which no redress
can be obtained Ii public opinion strong in
this country in England Wells, Fargo & Co. would
either be compelled to pay their or abandon
their business The people would not patronize
a corporation which INDUCED in this form OF treason
