Quoted his three children thirty seven
years ago, and, leaving his wife,
came to Onalaska, few miles north
of here, and was again married. Later
two children died, and William, the
remaining son, was brought up to
think his fathers second wife to be
his mother Mrs Kenyon, now Sc,
believed them all dead. Through
relatives, William Kenyon learned the
story of his past. He went to Ed
munston, found his aged mother liv-
ing on the same farm and in the same
house from which he was stolen thir-
ty-seven years ago. His father still
resides at Onalaska.

John Alexander Dowie, who would not
swear in Judge Tuleys court at Chicago
that he was the second Elijah, loudly pro-
claimed to his followers on a recent Sun
day that as Elijah restored he would
never die. Speaking of the receiyership
litigation he said; I'VE will fight and we
viii fight until we win. If Zion should
be stripped of money to-day, in week
it would be as strong as ever for there
are those who would give up their last
dollar. Others have done it,"
Dowie, it is said, is about to shake
the dust of Chicago from his carriage
wheels and go to live in Zion City, Lake
County, where taxes are lower. AS the
preliminary step to his change of resi-
dence Dowie has reorganized his church,
giving up the old Central Tabernacle in
Michigan avenue and establishing fifteen
minor tabernacles in different sections
of Chi ,ago.
Il am tired of this unjust taxation, -
shouted Dowie to his followers. Chi
cago differentiates between Zion and the
other churches of this city, and | will
stand 1t no longer. There is no more rea-
son why Zion is not church in the legal
sense than why the other denominations
are so classed. / will not have it taxed

Stories of Father Taylor the sailors
friend, are perennial in their warm hui
man interest. He was a man who at
all times, spoke with an engaging franz
ness which sometimes became more
hrusque than was desirable.
A banker from :;ie West End of Bos-
ton once visited Father Taylor's church
during a fervid revival. and varied the
usual character of the meeting by a
rather poL,pous address.
Its purpmt was that the merchant
princes of BostoE We're a very beneh
cent set of men. whuSe wealth and en-
terprise gave employment to thousands
of sailors. and that it was, above all
the duty Of seamen to show their graft
tude TO the merchants.

was somewhat taken ahack when Fa

THE KOHINOOR DIAMOND.
History of the Famous Gem that Will
Adorn Alexandra's Crown.

History of the Famous Gem that Will
Adorn Alexandra's Crown.
1t having been stated that Queen
Alexandra will wear the Kohinoor dia-
mond at King Edwards coronation,
there is a revival of interest in the fas-
cinating story of the finest diamond in
the world and valued at ten million
dollars.
More than 800 years ago this diamond
was found in India. Tradition says
Nadir Shah. the Afghan, who con-
quercd the reigning Mogul. won it from
the vanquished ruler by trick. The
potentate was accustomed to secrete
the stone in his turban. A woman re-
yealtd the secret to Nadir Shah, who
when he met the Mogul. proposed
friendly courtesy that the latter should
exchange turbans with him. The Mo-
gul could nol refuse the courtesy, and
thus lost the magnificent stone. In the
early part Of the nineteenth century
the English forced the occupant of the
throne to surrender the revenues to
England ana become an English sub
ject, receiving an annual annuity. This
ruler was boy and in signing the doc
uments unwittingly transferred the
KohiDoor to the English crown. 1t was
then taken to England. When the boy
was grown to manhood he wrote a let
ter to Victoria asking for the return
of the diamond claiming that he had
been swindled out of it. His letter was
never answered
The famous stone has been greatly
changed In the sixteenth century, it
is said, the diamond weighed 1913 carats.
One hundred years later French trav-
eler says it weighed $50 carats, because
of unskillful cutting. 1t weighs now
but 1921 carats, having been recut by
order of Victoria. A famous lapidary
from Amsterdam was brought to En-
gland and special machinery was en-
ployed Victoria wore the diamond
only on rare occasions, it being in the
form of brooch. The stone will be
remounted and set in crown for Alex
andra.

Large Degree of Publicity in Forma-
ton of Corporations.

Large Degree of Publicity in Forma-
ton of Corporations.
In Austria. Germany and France II
is stated that the combinations would
probably have taken this form more
frequently had it not been for the fact
that the corporation laws require a
large degree of publicity in the forma-
ton and organization of companies, as
wei as in the regular conduct of the
business Moreover, in Germany par
ticularly. the courts have been SO ia
vo.ably inclined toward ordinary
agreements on prices and output that
this further step, which has seemed
necessary ia the United States. has not
been taken.
In all three of the continental coun-
tries, also, taxation is particularly high
upon corporations. this being perhaps
especially true In Austria, where they
pay more than 10 per cent of their in
come Not merely do corporations pay
higher FAX than do ordinary firms
engaged in the same line of business.
but. what is perhaps of equal conse-
quence, owing to the careful govern
ment supervision. there is no POSSIBLE
ity of the corporations evading any
part of the tax. Private individuals,
on the other hand, or a firm may in
many cases, through the various de
vices known to taxpayers in all civil
lied countries. manage to evade a con
siderable part of the burden that wOuld
otherwise be imposed upon them.
In England the combinations seem to
have followed the example of the Unit
ed States. and quite generally to have
taken the form of single great corpora
tions. This has been particularly true
during the last two or three years At
the present time. especially in the man
ufacturing districts about Manchester,
Birmingham, Bradford and similar cen
tiers. we find great corporations among
the calico printers. the dyers. the fine
cotton spinners and doublers, the
thread manufacturers, the wati paper
manufacturers. the velvet manufactur-
ers. and so on. In all of these cases
a new corporation has been formed
which has bought up the various plants
entering into the combination. and
which owns them in full right. In sew
eral of these cases, says Prof. |. w.
jerks in the International Monthly, the
combinations include a very large pro
portion, 90 per cent or more, of all the
manufacturers who would normally en-
ter alto competition one with the 9th
err These combinations are like in
form to those in the Uaited States, diff
fering only as the corp Grafton laws re-
