Isaac Stephenson, of Marinette,
who counts his wealth in millions
and is reputed to be The richest man
in Wisconsin, says the poor man car
ries more than his share of the tax
burden, while the rich bear less, and
that there should be graded in
come tax The workingman does
not pay large amount of tax upon
his homestead said Mr.. Stephenson,
"but he pays a higher percentage
o. tax on its real value than the rich
man does on his many forms of prop
crty. Take the case of Marshall
Field, Ct Chicago. In that city he.
paid taxes on less than $4,000, 900,
but now his estate is in court 1t APP
pears that his property in that city
is worth Ave or six times more than
that. There is no doubt in my mind
that Tax on all incomes over $1,000
is the right thing.

CHAPTER XIV.

There was an encampment at the go
ing down of the sun in the desert.
The great Nubia- Desert is a ter
rible desert indeed. It covers a weary
waste Of country which, if you will
examine the map, you will find lying
betweenthe Nile-that part of it where
the Second and Third cataracts are
marked-and the Red Sea. 1t is re-
ported by those who have been across
this desert-the number, for certain
reasons, is now much greater than Of
old--that there are mountains in it, ali
arid and bare. level plains covered
with sand, rocky passes, and low hills
surrounding small plains Of sand. The
sand is everywhere. 1t is hot and
thirsty country; those who live in it
are a thin, parched. and dried-uD peo-
pie. who are said to regard their abom-
Unable country with affection
When the sun sets over the great
Nubian Desert he paints the noun
tains and rocks all manner of colors,
but especially those which have TO do
with purple, crimson, and yellow; he
places the same colors, only pa!er, in
the sky, and he condescends to light
up the level sands with the most beau
tiful and wonderful mirages. This
evening, for example, those OF the peo-
pie who cared to look for it might have

The problem of noise in cities and
its far-reaching effects upon human
health is growing more and more
acute one, and one distressing phase
of it-that Of the factory and rail-
road steam whistle-was brought out
very strongly in the interview with
Professor Edward S. Morse, of Salem,
published recently, observes the Bos-
ton Globe. There is altogether too
much unnecessary clamor and clang-
or in our large centres of population,
and it is a matter that is beginning
to receive the serious attention of
physicians. Few will gainsay the
statement that, as far as Indepen-
dence Day is concerned, this great
patriotic festival could be celebrated
just as effectively and Loyalty with
about fifty per cent. of the amount
of noise that usually characterizes it;
and considering the origin of most OF
the commotion. such a reduction
would likewise have the result of
greatly curtailing the length of the
accident lists at the hospitals.

President De Witt Hyde, of Bow

manner. He called the hazer the
greatest coward and most consum-
mate scoundrel on earth. He said
hazing was devoid Of fair play always
six to two or three to one-and he
asked Bowdoin undergraduates to up

keep their college clean. The essential
