FIGHTING THE MrNros.

Political managers sometimes use
campaign arguments that have served
their turn in other days, but no longer
have weight.
There being opposition to the Repub,
liean city ticket, the old cry of "down
with the Minto ring''/is revived by
persons who want office
Harry Minto is the only Minto in
pnblie Office, and he was made deputy
sheriff without any request on his
part.
The office, as usual, had been promised
by political bosses to some one else, but
Harry Minto was considered the best
man, and was appointed.
Whatever may have been the sins Of
Che Minto family in the past, no one
will be so foolish as to imagine that
they are an issue in this city election.

FRENoH TNOoMa TAX.

Should the proposed new income tar
system be adopted by the French cham
Der of deputies, Paris may become les:
popular than it is as a place of resi-
dence for rich Americans. The plan
eontemplates a graduated scale of tax
ing incomes, running up to 2 per cent
on those above $4,000 year, and applies
to foreigners having furnished resi-
dence in France.
Perjury would appear to be the only
escape from such a tax in the case OF
many wealthy Americans who make
Paris their home, but that always seems
easy where question of taxation is
involved.
An income tax is everywhere unpop-
ular save with the class proposed to be
exempted, which in France will be per
sons whose income is less than $500 q
year.

DANGERS OF CIVILIZATION,
Bashful Young Man Has Streak OF
Hard Luck at His Best
Girls Home.

A young man from Silver Lake
called to spend the evening with
Castle Rock girl the other night, says
the Castle Rock (Ore) Advocate. A
storm came up and the girls father
asked him to remain over night. He
was a bashful young man and the next
morning when he was invited to seat
at the table he very reluctantly accept
ed. He was very nervous and agitated-
He sat opposite the mirror and discoV-
cred that he had forgotten to comb his
hair. Then he dropped his fork on the
floor and as he stopped to pick it up he
upset his coffee. Matters went from bad
to worse until the young man quit eat
ing and put his hands under the table.
The loose end Of the tableclOth was ly-
ing in his lap and when he touched 1t
he turned pale. He thought 1t was his
shirt and in his nervous excitement
while dressing he had forgotten to put
the garment inside his trousers. There
was no time to lose. He hurriedly
stuffed the supposed shirt inside his
trousers. Two minutes later when the
family arose from the table there was a
crash The dishes lay in a broken mass
on the floor. The young man pulled
three feet of the tableclOth out Of his
pants and fed through the door. He is
now hiding and the girl is looking for
less bashful lover.

rating French Army Discipline
"A Grenadier's OfensA

Although there has been complaint
of late about a growing lack Of diSci-
pline in the ranks of the French army,
the Generalization has not, it is bo
lieved, progressed seriously, as the
following incidents, coming from u
French naval port. will illustrate:
A general holding a high command
made his appearance a few days ago
at the barracks of an infantry regi-
ment, which, in obedience to his or
ders, was promptly drawn up in the
yard. Then he explained the reason
in a brief address. He said that as
he was walking in the town attired
in mufti on the previous day man
belonging to the corps, who was the
worse for liquor, accosted him rudely
and asked him TO stand him drink
Let him step out OF the ranks" he
concluded.
Immediately a bugler emerged, and,
saluting, said: cit is 1, mon general
The incident is characteristic and
apropos of 1t one is reminded Of such
an adventure which befel a certain
French marshal. A grenadier. who
was exasperated at some injustice
that had been done him, pointed his p1s-
toI at him and pulled the trigger, but 1t
did not go off, Without moving
muscle, the veteran cried: -Four days

can scarcely have failed to be an ex-
tenuation of his offense in the eyes

Fish Warden N J. Hanna, Of Rock
land, has the following to say, according
to the Portland Press, relative to gov
ernment bounty on dOgfish:
There is no doubt but that for five
years these scavengers of the sea have
wrought more damage to our fishing in
dustry than in a quarter of a century.
They swarm every bay and even pene-
trate our rivers. They came into Cape
Cod by the million five years ago and
now Names fishing industry is at their
mercy. Years ago they came only about
a month or six weeks each year from
August to September and at the first
northerly wind they disappeared, but
now they are with us about all the year.
What are known as the whip lash

cious fish that feeds on every other fish
that is not its master. A species of the
shark. the large one, will attack man.

They are not menace to the lobster,
as claimed. A dogf1sh has to turn upon
its back to bite, and the lobster being a
bottom Of the sea shell fish has ample
protection in his location. There should
by all means be a government bounty of
five cents apiece or over for these dog
fish. If something is not done there will

"No man has a right to look
any rglier than he must" was a
statement made by S. A. Long, Of
Dayton, Ohio, in his address, be-
fore the mems meeting of the
Young Mems Christian Association
recently. Mr.. Long is right. The
slovenly, unkempt man is a detri-
ment to his locality. Especially il
he be business man his appear
ance sets a bad example, which is
followed more or less by others.
AS the addition of paint to house
prompts other house owners in the
neighborhood to improve their
property, so the example OF we'll
dressed man is followed by others.
1t is a leayen which benefits the
whole mass. It is every man S
duty to look his best, and what is
mans duty in this respect is also
the duty of women, especially
married women. By this is meant

not only the matter of clothes but
the expression of the face. It
should be the maxim in the house
hold that every member owes it to
every other member to look as well
as possible on every occasion. The
man or woman who wears habit
ually scowl or frown should do
away with it. Home is brighter
and happier when the men and
women in it begin the day with
attention to their personal appear
ance. Good clothing is help but
even poor garments can be made
becoming if they are clean and
neat. That woman who hopes to
retain the admiration of her hus-
band must make is a point to look
her best and not give herself over
to slovenliness. Always look your
best.

Scarcity of Venison.

Although the hunting season for
big game is rapidly drawing to close,
very few deer or moose are being
brought into town by the army of
hunters securing the woods. This
condition is accounted for by the fact
that there is no snow and the wary
deer and moose are hard to track.
The woods are dry and the animals
can hear the hunters far away. Oc-
casionally one us captured by being

are few. A fall OF snow Yesterday
will help out some and we confidently
expect that hereafter venison will be
