SMILES AND TEARS.

Dearest, when you stand and smile,
You are all woman wise,
With woman's wit and vile,
With woman's mouth and eyea
Then love you as my own,
Calm and level eyed, serene,
With passion sober grown,
As my lady and my queen.
All, but dearest, when you weep,
All the woman and the years
Slip away and go to sleep,
And the child wakes up in tears.
Then, sweetheart, see but this:
Just a small, bright head to feel
Meath my cheek, my child to kiss
With little heart to heal.

THE UNREAD LETTER.

A young Dutchmsn of good
family was going the way of the
prodigsl son. He sank lower and
lower; and though he did not get
among the swine, he did get into the
army in India, which was perhaps
worse, as far as his soul was con-
cerned, then if he had tended cat
tie. From there the perverse and
reckless son wrote letter to his
father, asking for money. Some
months after this letter from his
father was handed to him while he
was engaged in gambling with his
comrades. He hastily opened it, but
finding neither money nor check
he sngrily crumpled it up and stuck
it into his knspsack.
Soon after this he was attacked by
fatal disease. Many anxious days
and nights he passed in high fever
During one of those nights he re-
membered the unread letter from
home. He now was very anxious to
know what news it contained. He
asked the nurse to read it, This was
done. Aud what did the letter saw?
In short this: That they all, parents,
brothers, and sisters, were clinging
to him with undiminished love, and
that they could think of nothing
more pleasant then that he should
come home. If he did so, his faith
er would buy him a nice estate in
the country. First of sll, he had
given orders to captain, whose ship
was in port close by, to ransom his
son from the army and bring him
home in the first cabin. He (the SOM
would only have to send the captain
a note.
Such was the letter, and that let
ter the young man had left unread
Horror and dismay were reflected in
his face. Cold sweat ran from his
brow. "I could have had everything,
but forfeited all. Now it is too
late.' he groaned. 1t was his death
groan.
Does not the same thing happen
in spiritual matters every day in ev-
cry country? Is not the gospel a
letter from heaven, letter from God
to his straying children on earth?
He offers them his aid, but most peo-
pie scornfully thrust his letter aside.
Too late many learn the sad fact that
they have rejected their temporal
and spiritual welfare. Thank God,
for us it is not yet too latel

Reckoning Stamps.

Bank checks, with 2-cent stamps
imprinted thereon, are already being
received In large numbers for redemp-
ton at the Internal Revenue Bureau
of the Treasury Department. After
July no stamps Will be necessary,
and the banks which are loaded with
stamped checks are endeavoring even
at this early date to get rid of the
surplus stock as rapidly as possible.
1t looks as if there would be perfect
deluge of stamped checks pouring in
upon the Revenue Bureau, just as
there was in 1888, when rooms aud
corridors were filled with the accu-
mutations which came every day by
express and mail.
1t is as yet an undecided question
whether the owner of stamped checks
will receive them again after he has
turned them IN for redemption. In
1883 the stamp checks were punched
for cancellation and then given back
to their original owners, so that they
could be used. At the present time
there seems to be q misunderstand-
ing between the Auditor of the
treasury and the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue as to the course to
be pursued, the latter believing that
the auditor has decided that when
stamped check has been submit
ted as a voucher for claim it can
not be returned. This does not CO.
inclde with the informal statement
made by the auditor last week, and
1t will probably require an official or
der from the Secretary of the Treas
ury to finally settle the matter. The
demand for the return of the stamp
ed checks is very emphatic, many
business associations having taken
the matter up in earnest and insist
ing tnat II the checkS are completely
destroyed, commercial houses will
suffer great loss.
The Internal Revenue Burea is al
ready preparing for the changes
which will occur in the stamp laws
on the first day of next month. The
general public is most deeply inter
ested in bank check stamps aud
stamps on telephone and telegraph
messages. These all are repealed.
Altogether, stamps are to be abolish
ed on twenty-six articles, and it is
estimated at the Internal Revenue
Bureau that the revenue will suffer a
reduction aggregating from $40, 900
600 to $45,0OO,OOO.

The shah of Persia once asked a
group of his courtiers whom they
thought the greater man, himself or
his father. At first he could get no
reply to so dangerous q question, the
answer to which may cost the cour-
tiers their lives.
At last a willy old courtier said,
"Your father, sire, for although you
are equal to your father in all other
respects in this, he is superior to
you, that he had greater son than
any you have"

Many experiments have been
made, covering several years, to test
the value of chemical fertilizers in
improving the growth of pot roses.
The results show that chemical fer
tilizers, when properly used, may be
made to serve every need of the rose
bush so far as plant food is concern
ed. A combination of phosphoric
acid and nitrate of soda gave better
results than combination of phos-
phoric acid and muriate of potash,
though potash gave benefit also.
Pure bonemeal did not iniure the
plants in the least, even when used
to excess.

supported by manufacturers and concerns
that cater to the ship building business,
are combining in movement to demand
the abrogation of the treaty with Great
Britain which excludes warships from the
lakes. This treaty has been subject for
consideration by statesmen for many
years. At the coming session of congress
the members of the house of represent
atives whose constituency are on or near
the lakes will, it is said, demand that
something be DONE
Congressman Boutell, who will look after
the campaign at the coming session Of
congress, in speaking of the matter, said ::
The existence of the treaty is manifestly
unfair to the people of the lake cities. In
1888 congress appropriated $126,000 to begin
the construction of a vessel on which the
naval militia of the lakes might be trained.
1t was the intention of the navy department
to equip this vessel with all the modern
guns and equipment, but the appropriat tien
was rescinded when 1t was found that the
treaty stood in the way The shipyards stu
ated on the shores Of the great lakes. and
these yards employ thousands of men,
eign navies because of this treaty. Secreta-
ry Foster investigated thoroughly in 1S92-and
made an exhaustive report, in which he ad-
vocated the absolute withdrawal of the treaty
and the opening Of the lakes to any vessel
that hoated. It was referred to joint high
commission. 1t has been there since un-
considered and untouched, so far as the coun-
try knows. 1t is time something was being
done to remedy the situation

Unexpected Volume of Inter
nal Revenue Receipts.
GAGE Is NONPLUSSED
His Estimate of Reduction Not
Borne Out by Events.
s4,oOo.oOo EXCESS FOR JULY
Public Seems to BE Taking More
Fondly to Drink and Ten
Cent Cigars.

Fro4s The Journal BGre0as. Room 40, P0sS
Bsttldina, Fashisaton.
Washington, July 27.-Unless the people
of the United States are drinking more
beer and whisky, smoking more cigars and
chewing more tobacco than they were a
year ago, the officials of the treasury de-
partment are unable to understand or ex-
plain the unexpected volume of the inter
nal revenue receipts. Instead of falling
off $4,000 a month, as was figured would
be the result of the reduction of the war
taxes, the receipts for the first month of
the fiscal year will be a million dollars
more than the corresponding month last
year. The first twenty-five days show an
increase of $749, ,924.62 over the receipts for
the corresponding period in 1900. In other
words, the receipts for July will be nearly
$4,000. 900 in excess of the estimates. Each
day has shown its increase. For example
the receipts on July Is year ago were
1913, ,481.9S; for the 25th Of this month they
were $9S0,092.89. The internal revenue re-
ceipts of this month as shown by the
statement complied July 26, were $23, ,079,-
72371. The receipts for the same period
last year were $22, 1925. .799.09.
Secretary Gage has looked at these fig
ures and been puzzle4 by them. At first
he was inclined to accept the explanations
Of Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Yerkes, who said that the purchases of
Stamps under the rev law were abnor-
mally large during the first few days after
the lapse OF the old issues and that the
end Of the month would see marked de-
cline of the receipts. But the month is
