powers to seize choice portions of

revenue for the government.
From money invested abroad alone
Great Britain's capitalists probably re-
ceive $1,000. 100000 year of income.
though no one can tell exactly.
That is only $244 year for each
person II it were equally divided. 1t
isn't. Less than 10000 persons have
more than half the total income. I.
It is probable that the total Of pri-
vate incomes, great and small, in the
United States IL over SIS ,000, 900, 900.
though the sum cannot be so closely
estimated as in the island kingdom.
II Mr.. Gibsen Bowles is right in
saying that only one-third of the ma
tional income pays the tax. the total
of incomes of the united kingdom
must be $1o,5O0, 100000, sum almost
inconceivably vast.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
President, Satisfied On Question Of
Rate Legislation, Will Not
Call One.

Washington. May IL. - Preaideot
Roosevelts decision to make southern
trip in October is believed 10 settle per-
manently the question of an extra ses-
sion of congress. Before the president
left Washington for the southwest his
mind was made up, apparently irrevoca-
bly,, to assemble the Fifty-ninth con-
gress in extraordinary session not later
than October ], for the purpose of enact
ing railroad rate legislation along lines
that would insure permanent reform for
many of the evils of railway manage
ment. He was only dissuaded from call
ing an extra session Immediately follow
ing the adjournment of the Fifty-eighth
congress in March by promises of lead
ing republican senators and representa-
tives to support his legislative pro-
gramme SO far is it applied to railroad
rates ii the call was delayed until Oc-
tober. Now the president appears to
have voluntarily changed his pro-
gramme, and instead of calling congress
here in October he will make a. pro-
longed tour OF the southern states which
will keep him on the road at least three
weeks. He may decide to issue the call
for the LIST of November, but this is pure
ly conjectural.
Senator's and representatives who
keep in touch with his purposes are in
clined to believe that there will be no
extra session; that the president is sat-
isfied that the Fifty-ninth congress will
heed the demand of the people for salts
factory railroad legislation and that q
bill can be passed as speedily at the regl'
ular session as it could at special ses-
sion. He has received positive assur-
ances from Senators Ellzins. Cullom,
Dolliver. Clapp, Kean and other infiuen.
tial members of the committee on inter-
state commerce that a bill will be re-
ported to the senate at the beginning of
the next congress, and that it will en-
body many needed reforms in keeping
with the presidents suggestions. All
this is very gratifying to Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t seems to assure the passage of salts
factory bill next winter and the presi-
dent does not feel that he ought to ask
for more than that.

pension of IS per month. but will not
begin to draw it until IL years from

the fact that she drew pension for

pital. He had been mourned as dead
for 81 years, most of which time he

them to stand in the streets together

girl choristers wearing bows on their

In ancient times, before the inven-

horses were taught to kneel to permit
their riders to mount. A beautiful
Greek vase in one of the museums in

many centuries ago kneeling low be-
fore an Amazon. The riders in those
days mounted from the ''of" side, in
contradiction to the modern usage.
Plutarch tells how in the first century
of this era certain efeminate Roman
riders found even the horse block OF
too little assistance and had their
horses trained to kneel to them.
