TAX AMERICAN HE1REssEs IN EUROPE.

On this matter of the immense ex-
portation of money from America to
Europe by means of heiresses, etc., I
have often believed that some kind of
tax should be put upon it.
Particularly have 1 for long time
thought that a tax of some kind
should be placed on theincome which
American women carry to Europe
after their marriages to foreign noble
men. Those good-for-noth fellows
marry American girls solely for their
money, and some taxation scheme
should be worked out to save at least
portion of this outgo.
1t does not seem equitable that these
girls fortunes have been all made by
good Americans, from good Ameri-
can industry and by good American
brains.
Does it not seem utterly unfair that
this garnering, this harvest, should
be taken out of the country and be
dumped into the pockets of some idle
sciou of nobility who never did stroke
of work?
The country loses not only the girl,
who might have brought herself and
her. riches to some good American,
but it also loses many millions made
out of it.-PauL Morton.

THE FIRST RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

In these days of railroad wrecks,
readers will be interested in the re-
minder given by the New York World
to the effect that on July "a, 1916,
occurred the first railway accident of
note in the United States. 1t hap
pened on the Erie road, then less than
Eve years old. A car went through
Seaman's Bridge, near Monroe, Pa.
Three persons were killed outright,
three died later of their injuries. The
Wo,M says: "This casualty aroused
great interest at home and abroad.
No columns of matter from the rail-
way officials were printed explaining
that the accident was unexplainable.
There was no board of railro DAD COM
missiouers to certify that everything
it could find in the roads equipment
was all right. In suits for damages
it was established that the wreck was
caused by the collapse of cast iron
spoked wheel. The railroad paid the
judgments. And straightway the
wheel with spokes gave way to the
solid pattern used later on all the roads
in the country. But that was sixty
years ago."

ADVERTISE AND GET RICH"

T. 1. Barrett, one of the chief pro-

England, which has spent SIS, ,ooo,-
600 in advertising, is emphatic in ex-
pressing his conviction that advertis-
ing is the best kind of a commercial
investment. 81 cannot understand
how the question can be debated" he
said. "Why the fact that advertis-
ing pays is as clearly demonstrated

gently and your fortune is made. You

of fashion. spent $500, 900 in adj

GETTING on IN THE WORLD.

Who makes the self-made men?
Not themselves, but their opportuni-
ties. There are no self-made men.
All who have succeeded have succeed
ed by virtue of some form of oppoztu-
nifty, says Prof. Lester Frank Ward,
the sociologist of Brown University.
From the constant reference togreat
men who have isenfrom obscurity by
dint of their inherent genius. which
is supposed to overcome all obstacles,
one would suppose, says Prof. Ward,
that there would be no difficulty in
citing any number of examples. In
deed, the popular impression is that
nearly all the truly great men belong
to this class. and that they have been
made by adversely. It often is said
that if the same men had been sur
rounded by all manner Of matn
blessings they never would
complished anything.
Abundant success. high social posi-
tion, superior early educational facil-
tiles are supposed to beget sloth, dis
sipation, and generally mental and
moral degeneracy. And yet when we
come to make an effort to collect
striking examples in this class we find
ourselves embarrassed to discover
them. We find that all the noise is
made over a comparatively small num-
Der, and consists in perpetual repe-
tition of the same old things about
the same men.
All this of course Is not strange, he
argues, when we remember that about
SO per cent. of all distinguished per-
sons are born in large cities, and that
nearly all others go early to great in
tellectual centers; that over Copper cent.
of them belong to wealthy or well'to-
do families, aud are exempt from all
material concerns that nearly copper
cent. of them belong to the higher
social classes; nobility, public off,
cials, liberal professions, business men;
aud that 90 per cent. of them receive
a liberal education in their youth.
How could the little remnant of coun-
try born, poor toiling, and uneduca-
ted geniuses, queries DR.. Ward, be
expected to constitute any consider
able part of the real working force of
society?
1t is entirely safe to say, thinks DR..
Ward, that in every case of an alleg-
ed self-made man, could his entire
history be told, or the particular part
of it that explains how he succeeded
in escaping the repressing influences
of adversely. it would be clear that
something besides his own genius
came in to turn the scale in his favor.
AS Odin says: We always see some
fortuitious circumstance enabling
them to receive an education far SUI
perior to that which they could have
obtained in view of the economic con-
dition of their parents.
There being no self-made men, then,
as Prof. Ward reads history, how
much truth is there in the popular
view that highly favorable circum|
stances tend toward intellectual degen-
eracy? And here, In marked contrast
with the previous class, the professor
is confronted with an embarrassment
of riches. When he looks over the
long list of the great contributors to
human progress it becomes clear at
once that, with few exceptions, all
the truly great men of history have
belonged to this class and never have
had to give a moments thought to
the material concerns of existence.

PRovOCATIoN ENOUGH.

A deaf old gentleman dined with a
family where grace was always said.
When the guests were seated the host
bowed his head and began to repeat
the accustomed verse in subdued,
reverent tone.
"Eh What's that?" demanded
the deaf old gentleman who sat be-
side him.
The host smiled patiently, and be-
gan again, in louder, more depre-
catory voice.
"Speak little louder, 1 don't catch
what you say" the old gentleman
persisted.
A low ripple of laughter went round
the table. The host, his face Grim.
son with embarrassment, raised his
voice and repeated the verse. The
deaf old gentleman did his best to
hear, but failed. He placed his hand
upon his hosts arm.
"What did you say!" he demand
ed, irascibly.
"D-n 1t, I'm saying grace" he
snapped.

EVER A SONG SOMEWHERE" J"

There is ever song somewhere, my dear,
There is ever q something that sings alway;
There's the song of the lark when the skies are
clear,
And the song of the thrush when the skies are
gray;
The sunshine showers across the grain,
And the bluebird trills in the orchard tree:
And In and out, when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.
There is ever q song somewhere, my dear,
Be the skies above dark or fair;
There is ever song that our hearts may near
There Is ever song somewhere. my dear
There is ever song somewhere!
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.
In the midnight black or the midday blue:
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole nigh
through;
The buds may blow and the fruit may grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sere;
But whether the sun or the rain or the snow,
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.
