Menelek is to have his own mint,

The outfit for the mint has been trans

five hundred tons, showing that the in

Hitherto King Melenek has had linn

done in France. For quite long time

AS token of Abyssinian enterprise the

the other day. But before ending his
miserable existence he wrote a letter
to his wife telling her of his purpose,
and she, who had kept burning thru
years of bitter woe and heart aches
and want the spark of love for her
recreant husband, wrote him a letter
disclosing in it's every line her noble
womanhood. "My darling she said, Il

MUsH AN MILK.


,One of the delights of our childhood
was mush an milk-for supper. Some
times we pine to return to those days
of our innocence and hear the supper
CALI we'll knowing that mush an milk
was the bill of fare. There wasn't any
long card with a reading lesson in
table de hote French to study and vex
the mind and temper. Scat! no. All
the kids-lSid company and all--knew
lies what was comm. We could
smell it way out to the strawpile,
where we were turning summer sets
."sets," not "saults," in kid-dom. If
mas hands were so full of labor that
the mush got little scorching, why, we
smelled it all the surer, sniffin' the air
and tellin' each other how many bowls
we could eat or drink with COOLIES"
of cream. Yum, yum. Awful nice to
be a kid and have a stomach that

is the kingdom of heaven-the kids.

many the public treasury supplies the
soldiess share. Provisions for DISABLE
ity through sickness or accident are
included. In our own country all this
is left to the individual. The conse-
quences are fortunate In some cases
and unfortunate in others. If our gov
eminent had pension system for
wage Garner it would compete with
fraternal insurance and many OF the
fraternal assurances societies would go
to the wall. The people would rely
more upon the government and less up
in their ouw frugality. And the man
with a family wholly, dependent upon
him who through improvidence or ex-
IRENE poverty makes no provision
against the contingency of disability
or death is a rather poor reliance. AT
the cost of a few dollars a year he can
obtain more insurance in fraternal
society than any European state pro-
yides for the wage Garner through
compulsory tax upon his earnings. The
worl,ingmen of the United States with
out a compulsory system are carrying
more insurance per capita IMAM thelr
Eropean or Australian brethren,
though, unfortunately, some of them
are carrying none at all.

TAXES TWENTY YEARS AGO.
TWaterloo Reporter.]
The demand for better and for more
public conveniences that are provided
nv taxation is not confined to the
towns alone, where water supply, paw
ing. lights, etc, are the common caus-
es of additions to the public revenues.
One of the papers in Grundy county
recently made the statement that
taxes in that county had more than
doubled in twenty years. In 1884 the
amount collected was $S7,73O This
wear the sum listed on the tax books
is s1SOOO0 The increase is due to
road and bridge levies, state educfS-
tional and county interests.
People surely want things better and
more of them than they did twenty
years ago. 1t is the same in private
life. Not one person in twenty is
satisfied to live the life that his or her
parents lived before them. This
may be a tendency to be regretted, but
NAV be that the wants of the day can
be provided more easily than the COM
paratively slender requirements of
score of years back. In either solution
the fact is apparent that there is
demand for the things and that people
think they need them enough to will
ingly pay the bills. The taxes wouldn't
be levied without the consent of the
people

The Fontanelle Observer thinks the
opposition to a primary law comes
largely from those who have manip-
ulated politics to their liking under
the caucus system and they fear the
loss of their pull" The Observer says:
"Adair county republicans have had
a primary system of their own in OPP
GRAFTON for five years and have found
it a very satisfactory way of settling
the questions arising within the par
ty. The only valid objection raised is
that it is expensive to candidates, but
this may be regulated under either
system by the candidates themselves
In Adair county the primary has
brought about harmony that has
resulted in uniform majorities at the
polls, which was a much desired con-
sideration at the time of it's ador
ton"
