] international and Great Northern, he said, was sitting in his boat which was anchored near the rarpon ietties fishing Tor mackerel. l and a number of others occupied gasoline launches possibly I0 yards away from Alr. Beach's rowboat.
 Suddenly we heard a cry of alarm. and looking up we saw Mir Leach and his boat moving slowly out to sea As We watched the speed of the boat seemed to increase and we started the launches, three of them, in pursuit of the rowboat, which continued to move rapidly. We put on all the power of which the launches were capable, but could not gain on the boat.
 We pursued the rowboat for possibly half an hour. barely holding our own dur ing the entire chase. All of a sudden a cry came from the rear launch, and, turn ing we saw sight the like of which never greeted my eyes before.

French Income Tax.
m the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 The French minister of finance has for some time been preparing an income tax bill. He has long realized that new sources of revenue must be uncovered in the French republic. for receipts have not been eaualling expenditures. The bill proposed provides for graded tax with a difference in the amount assessed on in- come derived from property from that obtained by the direct efforts of the in- dividual and that secured from a combi- nation of these two sources. There is to be the further differentiation that the tax rate on small incomes will be less than that on the rich, with special exemptions made In favor of married men and the fathers of families. Probably the income tax will bring home to the French people the enormous burden of their military ex- penditures and the cost of their national debt more forcibly than do any of the other government imposts. France. with her population of less than 40. 900. has a national indebtedness of more than s5,- 900 900 900. or about sl5e per capita. The debt charges alone entail a burden of more than s6 year on every man, woman and child

Strange Work for Women

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
 Girls are displaclng men in walks of life undreamed of only a decade ago. . said August H. Kaems. deputy state fac- tory inspector of Sheboygan Up in my own city girls have been working in the varnish rooms of the chair factories for almost twenty years, and within the last ten years many others have found em- ployment in one of the foundries enamel ing Kitchen utensils. Barring the intense heat in the rooms. the work is compara- lively easy, though it does seem strange to find women in foundries.
 '.The bottling departments of the brew cries also employ girls in preference to boys. and the work being almost entirely automatic where other conditions are wholesome little criticism can be made.

Just Fellow Instructions.
Britt qowa) Tribune.

From the Britt Qowa) Tribune.
 Our gasoline engine started to get orn- cry one day last week, but we headed 1t off by little sharp practice-we just sent for Herb Redmond We have never studied the innermost recesses of the en- zine yet for the reason that it has al- ways behaved in a becoming manner when we were around, so we were determined to watch Herb and see what he did. He walked right up to it manfully and took hold of the chain condivias that fastens the polwog to the dingbat and turned 1t gently to the left at the same time turning his head to one side and listening intently. Then he shut one eye and gave a low whistle.
 There was a low answering sign from the bosom of the machine whereupon he grabbed the soewoloper and gave 1t a violent blow with the shooting stick and she responded with a low sibilant sound like a cat pulling it's foot out of pie. He then put the wrench on a couple of innocent looking little bulbs and jerked his hand back quick. We asked him what was the matter and he said, "a bug on his back" and told us to try it and see. We did. It was a bug. too, a lightning bug, we take it. by the feeling We could see Herb had struck q responsive chord by the way the thing began to breathe, and the look of confidence In Herbs eye was indicative of motion. Our prognosis was correct-one more yank at the dingbat and she began to kepeet like a thing of life. Anyone can fix an engine by just watching someone else fix one. or by carefully following the above instruc- tions.

BUSY TIMES.
AT LOWE

Special to Evening Teller
LOWE, Idaho, Sept. 1s.-The town
Of Lowe is enjoying its prosperous
time now. AS the hauling season
commences Lowe always becomes a
busy trade center. ]. s. Adair's i'm
plement store and the mercantile
establishment of Mr.. McBoyle are both
busy from the time the hauling COM
mences until 1t closes after the roads
are so bad that traffic Is no longer
possible.
Every team that goes from the
Green Creek or Red Rock country to
the Kooskia tramway is forced to pass
through Lowe. and this naturally
makes this place the trading cent?
for this entire country during this sea-
son of the year.
In making the trip from points on
the prairie to the tramway the water
question has always been a serious
one. There is no water at the tram
way except a small amount that Is
hauled there by the livery man and
sold. Transfers hauling from a dis
lance have often been forced to go sew
eral miles toward home without get
ting water for their teams. The peo-
pie Of Lowe have at large expense
to themselves dug a well over 125 feet
deep, and now have an abundant sup
ply of water which makes the place a
popular one.
