UNNECESSARY TAXATION.
triict.

The present immense and increasing surplus is az
an evidence of and therefore unjust taxation
i Is Of the countrys prosperity The report OF the treas
Of the United States shows that the net ordinary rev
enes for the fiscal year ended June 30 were 1887
an increase of $780, A. 4S5 over the previous hsca year
and the receipts for that year were the hgnest up 70
There was an increase in every source OF income, Dull
it was largest in internal revenue.
The total expenditures for the last fiscal year were
$500 967 1852 an amount which has been exceeded only
four times. in 1862 1864, and 1865 and in 1899
on account of expenses incurred in the war with
SPAN and that in the Philippines
The surplus outside of the $780, 600 gold reserve
amounted on June 30 to $97, H. 984.
The surplus is now averaging 100000 and will
probably be carried to $3.50 by the end of the
present fiscal year.
President Gage again purchasing bonds in order to
prevent the accumulation of surplus large that it will
be standing temptation to extravagant appropriations
and also to put more money into circulation Two per
cent bonds authorized by the act of March H. 1900 have
been issued to the amount of 1926 $50 and exchanged
for bonds maturing 1904 1907 and 1908 and October
LIST all but $50 of these bonds had been deposited
as security for circulation.
During the last fiscal year the country's monetary
stock increased more than SSS00O0OO in gold 00O
900 silver coin and about 900 in notes and GER
ticaes The active per capita circulation increased from
S2S to e2S. so on October 1st
The condition of the treasury is powerful argument
for the reduction OF taxes but the subsidy seekers and the
hackers Of the other raids upon the surplus Will resist any

A RAILROAD Mans Story.

Zone of the worst starts / ever had"
said an engineer the other day, "was
due to Il large, lazy pig that had got
on my mind. Nothing will slide train
more easily and destructively from the
rails than live pork. This particular
specimen had habit of burrowing
alongside the track. and it was fair
presumption that sooner or later he
would find something to interest him
between the rails and somebody would
go down the bank.
II was coming down a hill one day
at high speed and craning my neck for
a comforting sight of piggy in his ac-
customed place when, as popped
around the curve, a bright red flag as
saulted my anxious gaze. The connec-
ton between that flag and the pig was
only a bit of mental alteration on my
part, but it was very vivid. shut off
and grabbed the whistle cord, but be-
fore l could even screech for brakes l
saw that the flag was only a red fan
mel shirt which the good woman Of the
shanty to which the pig belonged had
hung OH an improvised clothesline be-
tween the telegraph poles.
That may not sound like much of a
scare. but it represents a type that
turns the railroad mans hair to deli
cate ash color"

SOME WISE DoN'Ts.
Don't confound hauteur with dignity

Don't confound hauteur with dignity
or repose with stupidity.
Don't 'howl," "roar" or ''explode."
To laugh heartily is better.
Don't pose. Affectation Is bar to
respect, let alone confidence
Don't groan over the wickedness Of
the world, but mend your own
Don't boast. The illiterate and the
self conscious are thus made manifest.
Don't use superlatives. Few things
require them, and they weaken descrip-
ton.
Don't preach unless you have prac-
ticed. Deeds are tremendously con-
vincing.
Don't think foreigner can compre-
bend you aly better if you shout into
his ear.
Don't forget that politeness is the
foster sister of diplomacy and an es-
sential tact.
Don't appraise a book at another's
valuation. Critics are not censors alb
solute.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

PERFUMED CIGARS.

One Of the stories told by old en-
ployees in the treasury department. at
Washington is of the time when Gen
eral Rosecrans was register. The gen
eral never smoked and knew nothing
about cigars. lie determined, however,
to have box Of good cigars handy for
the benefit of friends who might drop
into the registers office. The general
accordingly purchased box Of expen-
sive cigars, put them in a drawer and
forgot all about them for some time.
Then, one day, when a friend was call
ing, the general remembered the cigars
and brought them out.
Il know nothing about cigars" said
RosecraDs, "but | am told that these
are very fine"
His friend lighted cigar, and look
of pain ard horror instantly overspread
his face. He tried to conceal his feel
ings and puffed manfully at the cigar
for several seconds. Then Rosecrans,
noticing that he was growing pale, ask
ed what was the trouble.
General said the visitor, e'I don't
want to be ungrateful, but I'm afraid
it's this cigar
"Impossible"' exclaimed Rosecrans.
why, when l bought them l was told
that they were the finest cigars on the
market"
We'll, general, you were deceived.
The cigar tastes and smells exactly as

looking chapfallen. "Why, l never

drawer, he brought to view several gar
ments filled with camphor balls. do
you suppose that can be the trouble?"

On July 13, just as the serene and
starry night was taking possession OF
the quiet world, this community was
shocked by one of the most appalling
accidents in the history of the county.
Mrs. VIM. Masterson, in company
with her two daughters, Veda and
Stella, was driving in a single car
riage along the highway leading from
their pleasant home 10 North Branch,
when the horse became frightened
and made a wild dash for liberty. In
their efforts to control the now fur
ious beast the lines broke and left the
mother and daughters powerless to do
anything other than accept the last and
desperate chance of leaping from the
carriage, which they did. Beyond
the effects of extreme horror, the in
juries of Miss Veda are slight. Those
of Miss Stella are serious enough to
cause considerable concern in regard
TO her recovery. The mother was
found in a semi conscious condition
by the road side, where after brief
struggle, the soul t1uttered itself free
from the wreckage of its earthly home
and glided away to the realms OF an
broken peace. The sunny Sabbath of
the l4th witnessed one of largest and
most impressive funeral services even
held in the Bowman Chapel church,
after which the bruised remains were
inferred in the adjacent cemetery.

How He Saved His Dinner.

In the little town of Arundel there is
taNidermist who is gifted with won
derful presence of mind Here is an
instance.
Some time ago q gentleman called at
his shop with a cock pheasan which
he desired to have skinned, stating at
the same time that he did not require
the body. This quite suited the taxi
dermist, who thought the pheasant
would do for his dinner on the morrow.
However, later in the day the gentle
man called again and said that he
would take the body away The tax
idermist replied that it was unusual
for customers to take the bodies away,
but that he had no objection, and he
fetched the bird, which his wife had
put on plate and covered with flour.
"Ah!" exclaimed the gentleman. ct
looks very nice. But what is this white
powder with which it is covered?"
"Oh, that" replied the taxidermist
quietly, sis arsenic. l always cover
the bodies with that until 1 can dis
pose of them.'
"Ar-arsenic" stammered the gentle
man. "Why, thought that the bird
would be good to eat. Thank you, 1
won't trouble to take it away with me.
Good day."
