Where did you put it," demands the
Captain.
Cant remember, really
How much did you have?"
"Oh, l don't know exactly-about
fourteen thousand"
The Police Captain announces the rob-
berry to his chief at headquarters, using
the telephone in the apartment; then he
turns once more to the young g Johnnie
standing in overcoat and gloved, the
least excited of any man in the room.
Glaring at him, as he thinks only
of the missing money, the officer de-
mands:
Where did you put it,"
"Ah! By Jove, it comes back to MEL
answers the golden youth. 9 emptled
the mantel."
The valet grasps the jar, thrusts his
arm down its neck, and draws forth
handful of money, again and again, until
the bills form a green heap upon the
table.
The owner of the treasure hands note
with yellow back to the Captain and
less valuable ones to the subordinates.
He stuffs some money into his own pock
cts, and tells his valet to carry the rest
to the bank, after which he sets out for
breakfast at the club, completing the
cycle of one days history.
He has forgotten that he lost so small
sum, exactly as he has forgotten that
he won it at play, for his father left him
twenty million dollars, and he has six
hundred thousand a year-that is to
say, sixteen hundred and forty-four
dollars a day to throw away.
This is an actual case. -
Such are their lives not only in New
York but in all the great cities named.
OF intellectual resources and intellectual
interests they are entirely unconscious.
Idlers they are, and idlers they must be,
and no men on earth pay more and get
less out of life than they. The races, the
"queens" of comic opera, these are their
only interests. They have nothing on
earth to do, as one day succeeds another,
but smoke and drink; but are much less
intemperate as a rule than would naturally
be expected. As only sons, they usually
are spoiled children.
As type, though an extreme type of
the class, the story of one of them who
died some years ago in London may
be told.
He came from Buffalo and chose to live
in London. He and his brother, the
latter well-known in his day to fashion,
able restaurants in New-York, had fifty
thousand dollars year each. Left
orphans as children, they had been alb
solutely spoiled. They had not the ele-
ments of common-school education.
The London brother was a handsome,
well-built, fne-looking young man of
thirty. A little early discipline would
have made fine man of him, because the
elements were there. As it was, he had
little more intelligence, education or in
tellectual hold upon life than an oyster
Shortly after his thirtieth year his in
come and that of his brother, by the
death of an aunt, were doubled.
Day after day he appeared at the
smoking-room of the Hotel Victoria at
three O'Clock in the afternoon, admirably
dracced and o-oorred (c1otbac a,J noel,

PUT UP THE BARS.

While politicians are specuIating
what can be accomplished by the ini-
tiative and referendum, why not put up
the bars on taxationl
II is far easier and cheaper to pre-
vent than TO cure. THERE MUST BE
A LIMIT to the amount Of county
taxes that can be levied.
If there is no limit then county levies
will keep creeping up higher and high
er until all enterprise is checked and
farm values decline.
Some six years ago a fight was made
in Marion county TO limit current ex-
pense Of the county government to
$40 900, and that was accomplished.
1t was heroically lived up to for a
number Of years, but ways have been
found to get around that, and NEW
ADDITIONS HAVE BEEN MADE to
taxes in one form or another.
Constant demands are made on the
county court by citizens and officials
and by the natural tendency Of things.
The disposition is to consume more and
more in the way of taxation.
There is no way to stop this industry
on the part Of everybody to get to the
county treasury, but by putting an ah.
solute limit on the amount that can
be levied for county purposes.
The people should ascertain what has
been the average requirement for the
past ten years in the way Of county
revenues, and then figure out what mum
ber Of mills would be required to pro-
duce that and enact a law TO PUT A
LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT THE
COUNTY COURT CAN LEVY. Would
not that be protection to the county
government and to the taxpayer!
