4 CURIOUS COMPLAINT

It does beat all what disturbances a man can make even when he honestly tries to do good. Andrew Carnegie has been pouring forth money in an en- deavor to improve what are called educational facilities" There can be no doubt that he means well in his gifts and has done his best to put them where they will do the most good And yet some interested in churches are complaining that MT. Carnegie, who does not give to churches, has set fashion of giving which has done the church funds much harm. It is assert ed that many causes dependent upon annual gifts from certain people are just now crippled because these usual gifts have not come, and their manag- CTS are chagrined to learn of gifts here tofore coming to them being diverted elsewhere As one man puts it, who IS responsible for the raising of about $15o,000 every year; Any man able to give $5,00O seems in this day morally certain to have some fad to give it to. Since MT. Carnegie came into the giv- ing field everything is completely de- moralized."
 How much ground there is for this complaint we know not Be there much or little it is an illustration of the fact that this is in some respects queer and a discontented world.

EARTHQU4KE ON THE ISTHMU US

The earthquake question is an im- canal, and it has been well studied. The record shows for points along the uuakes in several centuries. Two of these were felt at Greytown, which has been supposed by some writers to be exempt. The only one in the entire pe- riod which is reported to have caused serious injury was that of 1S44-Rivas was almost destroyed and considerable damage was done at Greytown. Rivas Is the only town Of any importance in that part of Nicaragua It has had a the Spanish conquest, and the fact that it has suffered but once in 800 years is deemed to be encouraging.
 The record shows twenty-four earth ouakes for Panama, or nearly twice as many as for Nicaragua. Of these the only one which was really destructive occurred in 1921, and this destroyed nearly all of the houses in the town of Panama. The next most severe was that of 1882, when the front of the cathedral came down, the railroad track was somewhat twisted and sev-

"There she comes! There she comes!" yelled the crowd, and began cheering the president off.
 Putting and snorting, the DE river greyhound rushed up to the COCK. Ihe gangway came down in an instant She was right under the blum, ana the people above could only look down upon her. They were yelling anu cheering, shouting enthusiastic good bys to the president And in the midst of the excitement the soldier and his es- cort committee went aboard. They went straight up to the cabin, and then, as if by magic, without waiting to nn- load cargo or anything, the DIE iyer tore away from the dock.
 As she strengthened out in the stream and began pounding away under full pressure for Memphis the smoke Of an other steamer desperately driven, came in sight around the last bend down stream.
 They had been going half an hour when the escort committee sent for the captain of the boat.
 .sI'u call Captain Coleman" replied the mate addressed.
 "Captain Coleman?" asked the lead CT of the escort committee, why, what boat is this?" { .1,be Saladin, bound for Louisville, came the prompt response.
 My God. Stop the boat! Turn around! Stop, quick! Here. all Of you, we are on the wrong boat" | At the shouts of the leader, the rest of the escort committee crowded about.
 "Who? What? What is it?' they cried
 we are on the wrong boat" and at that in a body the committee rushed for i Coleman. { He appeared just in the midst of the excited men.
 "Is there anything can do for you, gentlemen?" He was the only cool man in the lot. They pressed about him. The cabin was loud with their oaths, demands and denunciations. Coleman was calm and as smiling as the prover- bial basket of chips.
 He was awful sorry, but he ran on schedule time and his boat could not stop for anything.
 Then the escort went crazy. They drew CH6lE plSLoio 1Aid eA' 'Sess~ tN captain.
 'Do you know, sir" cried one excita- bIe man, shaking his pistol in the face of the smiling officer, "do you know, sir what you are doing? You are kidnap' ing the president of the United States 7
 "And do you know, sir" retorted Cofe- man. "that the president of the United States is riding on my boat without my invitation or my permissiony
 The escort committee gasped.
 "He came on here" continued Cole man, "of his own free will and accord and certainly I am not going to put the nresident of the United States off my boat unless he distinctly says himself that he wants to get off Especially Is this true, when the president is man I love as love Zachary Taylor. Now gentlemen, there are but two men In the world who can stop this boat-the pres ident and me won't stop her. It's UT to the president"
 The committee fell back. They might kill the captain, but the boat would moi stop Then they went for General Fay Tor.
 The president came out looking very solemn.
 Tom he began, and walking up he shook his finger in Captain Coleman's face From, you scamp, what do you mean by getting me into this?"
 Then he turned to the angry, sulkS escort committee:
 "Gentlemen, reckon about all wt can do Is to take a ink.ni-Loulsvillt l Courier r-JoUrnal.

NOT CHICKEN 1T EA RTED.

Miss Rose Ray of Parkersburg, West Virginia, is only IS years old, but she seems to have a firm mind and to know just what she wants. Of course she thinks of marriage, but not of mar riage of convenience. When she mar ries it will only be because she has found one who is superior to her, and he must show his superiority in a way which will admit of no question. Miss Ray thus pours forth her heart: "l have a little chicken farm at my home and can make a fine living from my flock. The man I marry must think as much as I do of fine poultry, and l will wait till can find q man who has finer chickens than mine. To show that this is her true feeling she offered to marry the man who won the most prizes at the State Poultry Show The largest number of prizes was carried off by firm of poultry breeders, the ried. It was suggested that she should marry the next best winner or make a choice from among the farmer boys who had tried to capture prizes, but she would none of them, and is waiting for the prize man. It will be the sin cere wish of all who are interested in love and romance that knight who can raise better chickens than Miss Ray can will soon appear and carry her off to his chicken farm, there to live happily with her ever after.

Any Louisiana negro or the Voelhe sex and age who has more than sooo worth of taxable property can Vote' whether he's able to read or write or not. The reports of the parish tax as- eessors show that there are 5,9oo such negroes in the state-about one negro in every 27. The I,imes-Democrat or New Orleans thinks that nearly all the 900 can read and write, while many hundreds" of the white property-oWners are illiterate. It makes this rather sur aprising remark: '1'he property owned by negroes in Louisiana is probaply less than 1t was in the days of slavery, when there were a number of well-to-do free men of color in the state, and 1t IS certainly less than it was thirty years ago."

Among the enterprises in which the State has any interest, the liquor busi- ness of South Carolina has become the largest and most important. For the wear ending November 30, the receipts were close to two million dollars, while at the end of the year the school fund to which accrues the profit from liquor sales. had a credit of $61l,Ooo. Thls credit. however. was at that time ap- parently invested in stock The dispen- sary had nearly $s5o,Ooo of liquor on hand about equally distributed be- tween the main warehouse and the va rio,s dispensers throughout the State. The net profit for the year amounted to s12o 0oO odd, the gross profit of near ly s5OOoO having been reduced to this amount by such expenditures as $l9l,ooo for supplies, 3o,0oo for expenses, $SO,ooO for freight. $2O, 900 for labor, and $42,- 61l for the liquor police.

The tax on corporations, banks and insurance companies in New York State during the current fiscal year will yield over seooO, 1000, compared with a little less than s3,OoO,OoO for one year ago. The total revenue of the State from in- direct taxation will yield little over s15, ,oo0, 900, leaving only something less than S5, ,00O, 900 to be raised by direct taxation The State has cash surplus on hand of over ss,oo0.000, and it has been suggested that half of it be used in payment of current expenses. Fms will reduce the State tax on real and personal property to thirteen one-hun- dredths of 1 mill, which is the amount fixed by the constitution to be levied for a sinking fund and interest on the canal debt. To New Workers this is very satisfactory showing.
