A Story Of Alexandra Dumas.

This story Is told Of Alexandra Du-
las 1t is we'll known that he could
not refuse a request-at least not Of
ten. One day he gave a man a letter
to one of his intimate friends in Brus-
sells. The friend, a wealthy merchant,
received him as though he had been
Dumas own brother, introduced him
to his circle Of acquaintances, placed
his stable at the mans disposal and
did everything in his power to make
life pleasant for Dumas friend. After
the lapse Of fourteen days the man
suddenly disappeared and with him
the best horse in the merchants stable.
Six months later the merchant visited
Dumas and thanked him for the kind
Of people lie recommended to his con
sideration. Dear FRIEND" he added,
'your friend is a shark. He stole the
best horse in my stable" Astonished,
Dumas raised his hands toward heaven
and cried, "What, he stole from you
too!"

A BIG ECONOMIC QUESTION.

HERE are a great many big
economic questions before the
people today, but few of them
are bigger than that Of the re-
meval of the tax of sos per
gallon from alcohol used for in
dustrial purposes. 1t would at
once bring within the reach of
farmers, manufacturers, automo-
billists, and families generally a
superior fuel, obtainablc at a
primary cost of 5 to IS cents a
gallon; and would practically
amount to the. distribution among
the.people of a gift of fully $780,
100000 annually. The produc-
ton Of this alcohol would absorb
no material which could be even
half as advantageously used in
any other way. Its main sources
would be surplus and unmarked
able grain, vegetable, and many
now waste products. The cheap
ness of the power it would afford
would lead to the establishment
of countless little industries now
unknown, in thousands of places,
many of them for the manu-
facture of objects now imported.
While thus stimulating the in
dependent ownership of such
industries, and opening new
avenues to selt-reliant men who
like to call nobody "boss," it
would, by stimulating the use of
laborsaving machinery on the
farm, lessen the small farmers
need of hired help.
1t would, furthermore, create
many new industries. There is
no reasonzwhy Germany outstrips
the world in chemical industries
except that her tax on alcohol is
the lowest among those of in
dustrial nations. America; handi-
capped by the present tax, can
not compete successfully in
chemical manufactures.
We have all the raw material for
a vast coal tar dye industry, for
instance, and we have the talent
to utilize it, but the opportunity
is destroyed by the tax on
alcohol which enters, in very
large:quantities, into the process
of compromising these dyes.
Finally, since alcohol is in
more general use in manufacture
ing than any other article except
iron, steel and wood, to take off
the tax on alcohol, or even re-
duce it to the maximum revenue
producing fgure,-7o cents per
proof gallon,--would greatly
stimulate our exports, by reduc-
ing the cost of production and
by permitting the manufacture
of a better grade of goods than
can be turned out when less
satisfactory substitutes, like wood
alcohol, have to be used.
The chief opposition to the
repeal of the tax comes from the
Standard Oil forces, with whose
products free alcohol would be a
powerful competitor. The ques-
ton now up to congress would
seem to be, then, whether the
interests of the Standard or those
of the people are to be served.
1t is to be taken for granted that

A HABIT TO BE ENCOURAGED.

The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
her a great amount of uneasiness and
anxiety. Coughs, colds and Group, to
which children are susceptible are
quickly cured by its use. 1t counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result in

GOOD ROADS AND RURAL MAIL.

cit is announced that the govern
ment will look more carefully to tho
enforcement of its rule regarding the

is established. The present require

many eases the residents along pro-

that enable them to obtain rural de-
livery service, but sometimes the rf-
forts to keep up the roads are re-
laXcd. But the government has de-
cidcd that unless the roads travelled
by the carriers are properly maintain
ed the service will be withdrawn.

on the carriers for reports on the
roads, and will stop the service where
the highways in question are bad.

if some of the roads over which some

we would lose some of our free de-
