Tax on Bachelors.

DOVER.D Feb. THE bache-
lors of the Delaware legislature, in
which there are quite few, are
alarmed over the notice of bill to
be presented within the next few
days by Representative Barnum
which calls for the imposition of a
tax upon ''all unmarried persons of
the age of twenty-five and upward,
commonly called bachelors"
Representative Barnum says the
bill also will provide for the appoint
ment of board of maidens rang
ing in age from sixteen to twenty
five years in age, who shall collect
the tax, said tax to be of sliding
scale according to the financial abil-
ity of the man, and his age.

Imitators Seldom Make MQpeI:
(By John A. Rowland. J

Moneymaking is the keynote of the
times. Any method Of any man show
ing markedly successful results in
moneymaking will command a mil
lion imitators in a day.
In almost any other world of en-
deavor imitation is frowned upon.
The artist and the professional man
are, frowned upon in moment be-
cause of initiating. One woman may
be holding a lasting grudge against
her friend for attempting to wear a
bonnet or gown in imitation of her
original. But in the field of money
making imitation continues to be
the 'sincerest fiattery," accepted
with a smile by the one whose meth
DDS are to be copied.
In general, however, the man imi-
tated in his moneymaking methods
can afford to smile. Already he has
proved his judgement and has reap
ed the ready returns upon it. He
may have exhausted the possibilities
Of that particular line. Or, all else
favorable to the imitator, this sue
cessful one has wide margin OF
chance that in his hurry to fall int
line of imitation the imitator has
missed the true principles of the
speculation.
Take any farming community
where the simplest lines are laid in
for the business world. In certain
section perhaps no wheat has been
sown for years; no potatoes planted,
perhaps; any of a dozen crops has
been neglected in the planting until
the neighborhood has forgotten the
staple.
But suddenly some one sets aside
a field for one of these neglected
crops and plants it. Only an idle in
terest is attracted, though the plant
er may have expended his best judy
ment upon crop reports, markets,
and the chances OF favorable sea-
son. Not till all of these have been
realized in a great harvest at top
prices, however, does the spirit OF
imitation spring up over the neigh
borhood. 1t will be too late for that
seasons venture. but in the follow
ing year the adventuring farmer
may count upon scores of followers
in this line, whereas he himself has
dropped the idea for another
In the same degree, with far great
er complications, the imitator Of f.
nancial methods in the cities is led
made some notably successful ven
astray Not until some one has made
some notably successful venture in a
certain line is attention attracted.

HELD FIFTY PATENTS
Henry Sergeant, Inventor of Inter-
national Fame DieS-Invented
Many Useful Things

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Henry c.
Sergeant, an inventor Of information
al reputation, died Wednesday night
at his home in Westfield, \. ]. The
United States patent office had issued
to him more than fifty patents, sew
eral for rock drills and air compress
sors. His development OF the drill
made possible many Of the great en-
cheering feats of the last quarter
century.
Mr.. Sergeant was born in Ohio in
1885. His inventive genius develop
ed early, first appearing in machinery
for making wagon wheels, when he
wan Is years old. A governor for ma
zine engines. TO prevent the racing of
propellers, was patented in 1862, and
the United States government at
once adopted it for war vessels.
Soon after the elevated railroads
were built here the company discov-
cred that its Cancelled tickets were
being used over and over. Mr.. Ser
geant was appealed TO and the chop
ping boxes on the elevated and sub
way lines and in the various ferry
houses are the result.

A peculiarly favorable condition of
the markets will have been necessary
to this success. This favorable con-
dition will be exaggerated by the i'm
agination he will discover that now
is the time for his own first move
in that direction. He sees himself
striking while the iron is~h hot
Yet in al probability before he
has made his first move as an imita-
tor the man whose example he is
trying to follow has switched to an
altogether different field of opera
tons, The imitator's quick judge
ment has shown him a man making
fortune just when certain line
of securities is at the top mitch. He
never has thought that this success
full one may have taken hold OF the
investment when these socurieties
were at the lowest possible ebb,
Not long enc Of Chicago's rich men
died, having made his large fortune
in Chicago real estate. 1t would be
"a revelation if the thousands who
read his financial record and were
stimulated to real estate inquiry at a
time when realty is at high tide
could be segregated and counted.
But the secret of the mans for
tune lay in the fact that he had a.
judicial mind and cool temperament
which allowed of his taking hold of
real estate in Chicago just after the
great fire; of investing everything he
had in something that most people
were glad to sacrifice and borrowing
following up his convictions. How
few of his later imitators could this
man have found to follow him in
the initial stage of his speculation?
1t requires judgment and a san
guine disposition for man to plant
all and more than he possessed in
the wastes of Chicago fire. But every
few years. in that recurring pesiod of
hard times" the imitators of the
period of prosperity may find just
such opportunity as was this-only
TO balk at the prospects, In the field
as imitators they have lost the sense
of initiative and overlooked the nee
essity of judgment. If they invest
at all it must be in the food tide of
prosperity, when investors under
other conditions are proving them
selves
No greater fundamental error ex-
ists in moneyma King than that
which leads an imitator to imagine
the harvest period, to be the seed
time. There are the ever succeeding
waves Of prosperity and panic. To
anticipate prosperity in the season
of hard times is the general propo-
sition for the investor; and in order

Because they have neglected them

backaches, nervous exhaustion, in

The state live stock commission
which held a meeting in Pierre the
closing days of the session, devoted a
great deal of attention to the matter
of eradication Of mango or scabies
from the cattle of the state this
spring. At the 1905 session OF the leg
stature this commission was created
and $4,000 was appropriated for the
purpose Of dealing with infectious,
contagious and communicable diseases
IN live stock, but more particularly
with reference to the above named
Infection. At that time this and othe-
western states were under absolute
quarantine by the federal government.
South Dakota was the only state
which enacted q law and inaugurated
an active campaign for the eradication
OF this disease, which was much more
prevalent east Of the Missouri river,
but at the Same time much easier to
handle than in the range country ly-
ing west OF the Missouri river. With
he cooperation Of the bureau Of ami
NAL Industry 1T was possible to raise
the quarantine from the section east
or the Missouri river during the f~ll
or 1906. The country west 81 the
river showed equal improvement, but
t was found impossible to raise the
quarantine, for the reason that the
section was largely composed Of In
dian reservations, over which the
state board had no Jurisdiction, and
the work Of the federal government
was incomplete, During 1906 fully
80 per cent Of the disease in South
Dakota was eliminated This satisfac-
tory result was accomplished at an
expenditure of only about one-third of
the amount appropriated, which would
have been absolutely impossible with
out the practical assistance Of the fed
eral authorities. Wherever the infec-
tion was general the work was COM
paratively easy, as a thorough system
of dipping was necessary, but the
cases in existence at this time which
are largely isolated, will be more diff
ficult and expensive to discover and
treat, than those heretofore handled
