InexcusabEe Failure.

There is no failure in meeting Obli-

Portable at least the ministers OF the
Gospel in old age and such infrmities
as preclude self support after having
given their lives as long as they were
vigorous to preaching the Gospel for
Just enough salary to meet current
needs. 1t is failure in plain disre-
gard of God command and shows
the baseSt sort Of inmratitude. Men
do not generally treat heir old horses
anu dogs in that way. Ministers OF
the Gospel in the days of their best
service are paved less than railway
firemen and engineers. When they
get old and cannot work they are
coldly left in their days OF greatest
need and helplessness to live the best

Taxation an Investment Instead of a
Burden.

J. A. Holmes, State Geologist.
A man will spend $40 for Il modern
plow instead of 81 5Ofor an old-time
pillow of his fathers. because it pays
him to do SO.
He will spend $50 for II horse in
stead of 500 dollars for an OK, be-
cause the horse can travel faster and
easier, and hence is worth more.
He will spend $50 for a modern
wagon or buggy instead of $50 for
the crude cart of his ancestors, be-
cause in this as in other cases, he fol-
lows the dictates OF his wisdom in
making the one or the other Of these
voluntary investments.
But when the question of a tax is
raised he loses his capacity for reas-
oning.
He was born against it; he has been
educated against it; he has lived
agaist it; and voted against it, and
he is Just naturally against it.
Furthermore, the politicians have
told him that he could not stand sucl
an increase in his tax; that taxes are
too high anyhow; and that the peO
pie are not ready for it yet
He may waste half his winter time
on the roads because they are SO in
tolerably bad.
He may damagea a horse and spend
S2o a year repairing wagons anC
buggies, because of these terrible
roads.
If forced to do so he may count il
up that these bad roads cost hin
$50 or $50, or even $50 year.
He may admit that they necessi
tate his hauling half loads all winter
and spring; that they keep his chill

Ten millions of dollars annuallv,a as

what We waste annually on bad

WHEN FINERY IS RENTED.
Articles Are Found in Pockets Of

Many man appears in society in q

out of this kind of apparel has become
very remunerative, ana one man in

stories regarding the people who
come to hire clothes for evening wear

good suits in hire. He finds it more
convenient. and as l always let him
have the very best in the establish
ment he invariably looks well got up
for the occasion, and no one would
guess that the suit was not made for
him.
But we are always finding things
in the pockets OF hired dress suits
Only the other day, for instance in
turning out the pockets of dress coat
which had just been returned, we
came across an unopened letter, fully
addressed. which had evidently never
been received by the one for whom
it was intended. therefore slipped it
in one of my business envelopes and
threw it in the post. I never heard
anything more for several months,
when one morning the postman left a
package in the shop which. on being
opened was found to contain a large
slice of wedding cake. There was a
note, too, which revealed quite a pref
ty little romance.
"As you will have guessed, the COM
munication was from the man to
whom l had forwarded the forgtten
missive, who stated that letter had
been the means of making him the
happiest man on earth. It appears
that he had been in love with GER
tain girl and had asked her to marry
him, and she had promised to give
him her answer at dance to which
they had both been invited
During the evening she had avoid

conviction that she did not care for

THERE are times when even the

that is worthy of hearty common
dalton. The election of La Toilette
as Senator from Wisconsin was a
master stroke in behalf of the peo-
pie. Mr.. La Follette's entire life

the rights of the masses against the
greed of organized wealth and his

is a republican in name but in prin-

ONE of the very amusing features of
the legislature is the introduction of
bills regarding railroads and railroad
rates. There has not been bill intro
duced by republican senator or repre-.
sentative on this matter that can not
be classified as holdup. There has
not been one good point in any of these
bills, and the men who introduced them
know 1t better than any one else. The
Federation of Commercial Interests
has bill on which all of the business
men of the state have agreed, and it is
really funny to see some of the republic
can members putting around the state
