Habit.

The proprietor of a billiard and pool
room in West Philadelphia was an
noyed by certain customer who,
though he was n regular had bad
habit Of putting the chalk In his pocket
and walking off with it. The propri-
etor decided to put stop to this mans
carelessness, SO one day last week
he went up to him and asked:
'What business are you inT'
me! Why, I'm in the milk busi-
ness. Why?" was the answer.
Thought &c." said the proprietor,
''from the amount of chalk that you
take away with you. Any time that
you want bucket Of water come
around, as I may as well let you have
that also."-Philadelphia Ledger.

Too YOUNG.

He was a beardless youth. and the
peachy down was on his cheek.
Darling" he whispered, Il beg Of
you to give me just one kiss. They
are intoxicating"
But the beautiful girl shook her head
and withdrew to the far end Of the
sofa.
"No. Freddy" she replied in tantaliz-
ing tones; Il don't want to do anything
unlawful"
"Unlawful, Miss Roser'
Eyes; you know it is against the law
TO give intoxicants to Minors"
And then poor Freddy melted away
like a tub Of ice cream at Sunday
school picnic.-Chicago News.

Famous Collection Of Antlers.

or the famous collections of antlers
formed In the seventeenth century only
two or three have escaped the general
fate Of CONGREGATIONS. sieges and pill
lage. One of these is in Moritzburg,
the king Of Saxony's historical hunting
castle, near Dresden, while in the cele-
brated gun gallery in Dresden itself
are to be seen in an unrivaled show
the wonderfully inlaid arms used by
the elector. The great banqueting hall
of the castle Of Moritzburg Is one Of
the sights with which no doubt many
travelled reader has been charmed.
1t Is chamber Of noble proportions,
sixty-six feet long by thlrty-four wide
and thirty-eght feet high. On its 9th
erwise unadorned white walls hang
seventy-one pairs of magnificent ant
lers, which one may describe as the
most famous Of their kind in the world.
Not a single one carries less than
twenty-four tines or Is less than 200
years old, while some are probably
double that age.

PFomises to the Dying.
clergyman, discussing unhappy

A clergyman, discussing unhappy
hove affairs, said:
"Many love tragedy is caused by
a husbands promise to a dying wife
that he will not marry again. He
thinks when he makes this promise
that it will be easy to keep. Whether
1t Is easy or hard to keep, it Is
promise rarely if ever broken. Time
and time again widowers have sought
me out for advice on this subject.
They are in love, but they promised
their dead wives not to marry again.
Shall they break or keep this promises
l can only advise them to do as their
conscience dictates. At the same time
think it is selfish Of dying wives to
extract such promises from their bro
ken hearted husbands. Such prom
ises, by the way, are rarely extracted
by dying husbands from broken heart
ed wives. But, then, when the dead
husbands will is read it Is usually
found that If the widow marries again
the money is all taken from her. So
1t comes to the same thing in the end,
doesn't itY-New York Press.

inheritance tax. He believes that rich
men ought to turn over some of their
surplus wealth at death. At the Civic
Federation meeting in New York the
other day, he said: "Our country fails
in its duty if it does not exact share, q
tremendous share of the estate of the
enormously wealthy man upon his death.
The money belongs to the community.
Do not mistake me. l do not advocate
the making OF a man pauper, or the
pauperizipg OF his children, but it is not
the millionaire who made. the wealth.
He did not make the ore or the coal or
the gold that he dug out Of the ground.
The Montana copper mine owner did
not make the wealth; it belongs in the
abstract to the people who use it and
who produce the use which makes it
valuable. I am with the president then
to tax heavily by graduated taxation
every man who dies leaving behind him
his millions, for think that excessive
wealth left to child is an injury to the
child"
Mr.. Carnegie might give other reasons
in defense OF an inheritance tax. Many
of the large fortunes have been acquired
by the monopolizing of markets and by
the bankruptcy Of rivals. The money
collected has in many cases been collect.
ed by means which are immoral if not
illegal, and society could justify claim
to part as fine.
But, after all, there is better remedy
than an inheritance tax If the real pur-
pose OF the tax is to be levied as a pun
ishment. Instead OF allowing the gov
eminent to grant privileges. to create
favors and to sell immunity to great
highwaymen, why not restore the gov.
eminent to its legitimate functions and
take away the special advantages which
have been granted by law? II each in
dividual is put upon his own merits and
left to secure only 80 much as he can
earn, the fortunes will not be 80 fabulous
az they are now. An ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound OF cure, according
to the old proverb, and it is certainly
wiser to prevent unjust accumulations
than to permit them to extend through
a life on condition that the government
shall at the end of the life receive a
share of the plumber.
However, the discussion of the income
tax and the inheritance tax will educate
the people as to what has been going on
in the United States. There has been a
good deal of education already and there
will be more when public thought is
turned upon the question of taxation.

Income TAX AGAIN
IS Being DISCUSSED In POLITICAL
and FINANCIAL CIRCLES.
Some Would Have Graded Tax Some
Kim at an Inheritance Tax, While
Others Ask for an Income Tax
Pure and Simple. High Tariff Men
Against 70.

The income tax which slept for some
ten years after the adverse decision Of
the supreme court is again subject for
discussion. The presidents recognition
has brought out the fact that quite a
change has gone on in public sentiment
favorable to the tax. but it has also
brought out the fact, equally interesting,
that the republican leaders are not going
to favor the tax. The St. Louis Globe
Democrat, which can generally be relied
upon to take the side Of predatory wealth,
calls halt on the income tax. 1t is
afraid that so much money wo'ld be
raised by the income tax that no import
duties would be necessary. This sugges-
ton alone will bring all the benefciaries
Of a high tariff into opposition. They
have been collecting incomes through
the tariff law, and out OF pure gratitude
ought to be willing to pay an income tax
but gratitude is not a prominent quality
among those who enjoy special privi-
leges. They come to regard them as
vested rights. Ii the president nnder-
takes to push the income tax, he will
have to rely for his support upon the
democrats and upon those republic ans
who are in position to give expression
to their sense of justice. The Globe
Democrat editorial may be accepted as
evidence that there will be strong pluto
cratic opposition to the income tax.
The discussion, however, has brought
out the fact that some Of the rich men
have come over to the side OF those who
believe in the business of the income tax.
Mr.. M. E. ingalls,, former president OF
the Big Four railroad and an active OPP.
ponent OF the democratic party in 1896,
declares that he is in favor of an income
tax, but he does not want graded one.
Mr.. Perry Belmont is also in favor of an
income tax but does not want it levied
upon punitive principles, but as mat
ter of revenue. Mr.. Carnegie is opposed
to the income tax, but is in favor OF an
