Congress promises a reduction of Is

The present tax of 50 per barrel Is an
injustice to the brewing business and
an outrage on an honest class of busi-

The old-tmc war tax of 81 per barrel,
put on during the War of the Rebellion,
was large enough for the trade to bear.
1t was never'taken off.
w ith thN Nhi

All articles of manufacture are ad-

But beer is cheaper than ever.
The trade has been TOO far dcmoral-
lied by the effects of the tax to permit
of any further Increase in price at this
time. Conditions may, however, force
the increase in price later.
But the present situation Is this:
The brewers are compelled to cripple
themselves in order TO so maintain the
general welfare that other manufacture

The Best Age For Men to Marry

Edward Box, writing in The Ladies
Home Journal on "a Boy For Hus-
band" contends that mo young man
under % years Of age is in any sense
competent to take unto himself wife.
Before that age he is simply boy who
has absolutely nothing which he can
offer to a girl as a safe fundation for
life happiness. He is Uniformed in his
character, unsettled In his ideas, alb
solutely ignorant Of the first essentials
of what consideration or love for n
woman means. He doesn't know him
self, let alone knowing q woman. lie
is full Of fancies, and 1t is his boyish
nature to fit from one fancy to an
other.
'He is incapable of the affection up
on which love is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know what
the feeling or even the word means.
He Is full of theories, each one OF
which, when he comes to put 1t into
practice, will fail. He is n boy pure
and simple, passing through that try
ing period through which every boy
must pass before he becomes n man.
But that period is not the marrying
time. For as his opinions Of life are
to change, 50 are his fancies Of the
girl he esteems as the only girl in the
world to make him happy. The man
Of 80 rarely weds the girl whom he
fancied when he waS2O."

CAR FARES IN GERMANY.
The Method of Collection and In

The Method of Collection and In
spcction Prevents Free Rides.
The chances of evading fares on the
street cars of German cities are very
slight. When a passenger. steps on
car, the conductor Immediately asks
where he is going and then prepares
his ticket, which serves also as re-
ceipt for the fare. The preparation or
q ticket consists only in detaching 1t
from a block and punching it or mark
ing it with pencil
This process involves much more
work than the simple process OF ring
ing up the fares, as conductors do III
America, but the task Is lightened by
the fact that only certain number OF
persons are permitted to ride on car
at the same time. The number of Sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked on each car. If a car Is de-
signed to carry 80 persons, no more
than 80 persons will be permitted on
that car at the same time. When any
thing in Germany Is forbidden, 1t Is
settled once for all. .
IN Oruer ludI every pclsoh WIZ AANSS

ors are employed who spend their time
In ascertaining whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These inspectors
step into the cars and ask the passen-
gers for their tickets. They note the
number Of the tlcketsand whether they
correspond with the stubs retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
out the blocks Of tickets to the con-
ductors notes the number Of the upper
most ticket and at the return Of each
block collects from the conductor who
returned it as many fares as there are
tickets detached.
The rate of fares varies from zig
cents to 5, according to the distance.
Small children are carried for one-halt
fare, and any one for the sum Of 500
may secure a ticket which entities him
to ride as much as he wishes for one
month. When a car is full, the con-
ductor displays n placard bearing the
word occupied. Record.

Tho Ohio is 10 longer the beautiful
river II once was. 1t flowed IN maJes-

INTERPRETATION.

We long for peace that is lasting
We plead for a rapture that's rare
like fishermen ceaselessly casting
Their nets in the gulf Of despair.
We draw from deep waters OF sorrow
Dark wrecks of old failure and fear,
And out of sea silence we borrow
The storm that will never come near.
Faith speeds past the footsteps OF duty
And halts at the door OF tomb
Thought pierces the source OF all beauty
And returns unto dust-'tis the doom
OF each man child to strive and to wonder,
To plan for some positive gain,
And only find mysteries under
Al life, be 1t pleasure~or pain.
Lo. in realms Of the mind there is treasure
For toilers who dwell in contentj
There is truth that no science can measure
And the fearless are never forspent;
There is light when earth shadows are falling
There's reward for the deeds that are done,
Where envy crowned virtues are calling,
Through faith is thy victory wont"
Charles W. Stevenson in Chicago Record.
