FEDERAL TAXATION.

Let us all bear this fact In mind
All subsidies. petty or great. are
paid out OF the revenues collected by
taxation from the pockets OF the
people The idea that this govern
ment is rich Is q false idea II has
nothing but what IL takes from the
poor mans pocket. The rich pay
Federal taxes only IN the proportion
of the number OF the rich to the mum
her Of the poor and that Is an insig-
nifcant proportion; and even that
proportions offset by the special
protection" or advantage. which the
tariff gives the rich over the poor.

EXPLANATION OF
THE CHRISTI CASE.
sditor Blueneld Daily Leader.

Editor Blueaeid Daily Leader.
Allow me. through the columns OF
your paper. to correct an error and
state the truth in regard to the case
OF myself against r. II. II. Christie,
for . divorce. and in which he also
asks for divorce
Some one who was not acquainted
with the truth In regard to the stat
ues OF the case. or else wilfnlly mis-
stated the fact in the case, reported
10 the newspapers. and especially
the Roanoke Times. a gross false
hood. as to what has been done in
the co-called famous Christie case.
The facts are rs follows: There
has been an. agreement between Coun
sci for the piainiir and Counsel for
the defendant In the case subject to
approval however. OF the court. that
we he divorced from each other from
bed and board: that have the Gus
tody OF the female, and he have the
custody OF the male children. sub
ject TO the future order OF the court :
and that he pay me s12.50 per month
until the future order OF the court !:
for the support of our infant child.
Marie; that he pay the costs OF the
suit. including my costs and my a,
torney's fee; and that am not Ia
ask for permanent ahmony.
Under decree OF the court. en-
tered at Union. Monroe county. ON
July. 1905. the custoday OF the chill
dren was granted TO me. which or.
der TO the court is now In full force
and effect; and the defendant was,
by visture OF that order, compelled
to pay me, as temporary alimopy.
the sum og Fifty dollars per month,
which he is still paying.
The defendant. r. II. II. Christie,
swore in his dispositions in this case,
that IL the court would award to him
the custdy of the three boys, thar
he would place them in charge OF
Prof. Crabtree, at Roanoke, and
keep them In school. In view OF this
fact. believing that a. was best for
the children TO be in, schooN / agreed
that he might have the custody OF
these three children, and in pursu-
ance OF that agreement took the
three children 10 Salem, Va, and
placed them under the care OF Prof.
Crabtree, where they are now. and
the only female child OF ours is now
in my custoday. and is to remain
there. subject to the future order OF
the court And, as TO permanent
alimony, agreed OF my own free
will. not to ask for the same.
Yours very truly.

FILIAL REVERENCE.

Much OF George washingtpn's Arm
strength of character was due to his
splendid ancestry. as the following
littie anecdote will testify:
While reesase,ier,ng in Vest
moreland county, aginIa. one of
General washineton's officers chane-
ed upon a fine team of horses driven
before a plow by burly slave. Finer
animals he had never seen. When he
had feasted his eyes on their beauty.
he cried to the driver:
Hello. good fellow. I must have
those horses. They are Just such
animals as | have been looking for. !"
The black man grinned. rolled up
the whites OF his eyes. pat the lash
TO the horses nanks and turned up
another furrow in the rich soil. The
officer waited until he had finished
the row: then. throwing hack his
cavalier cloak. the ensign of rank
dazzled the slaves eyes.
Better see Missis. Better see Mis-
sis.' he cried waving his hand TO
the south. where above the cedar
growth rose the towers OF fine old
Virginia mansion. The oficer turned
mp the carriage road and soon was
rapping the great brass knocker of
the front door. Quickly the door
swung on it's ponderous hinges. and
a grave maiestic-looking woman con
fronted the visitor with an air OF
inquiry.
Madame" said the oficer. doff-
ing his cap. and overcome by her dig
nifty. II have come to claim your
horses in the name OF the Govern
ment."
MY horses?" said she, bending
upon him pair OF eyes born to com
mand. Sir. you cannot have them.
My crops are out and I need my
horses In the field"
II am sorry" said the officer,
but I must have them, madame.
Such are the orders OF my chief"
Your chief? Who is your chief,
lpray?" she demanded with restrained
wrath.
The commander of the American
Army General George Washing
ton" replied the other, squaring his
shoulders and swelling with pride.
A smile OF triumph softened the
sternness OF the woman's handsome
features. Tell George Washington. .
said she, that his mother says he
cannot have her horses"
With a humble apology, the oficer
turned away, convinced that he had
found the source of his chiefs de-
cision and self-command.
And did Washington order his of
ficer to return and make his mother
give up her horses? No: he listened
to the report in silence, then. with
one of his rare smiles, bowed his
head. II McCabe in St. Nicholas.
