cook porting over book. What are
you reading?" she asked. "Schopen-

the mistress inquired. Yes honorable

have looked on the king From out OF
the North he came:
The world was busy and blind but my
heart took wing
swept out like a flame,
And said: Its the king"
a strange, new word,
And an unfiedged joy 1 bore on my
breast unseen.
my spirit heard,
Singing: Thou ar, the queen"
But the king passed by with never a
glance at me:
He was gazing aloft at star, or down
at q stone,
With brow that pondered and eye. that
were keen to see.

Collect or Abolish Personal Taxes.
From the New York World.

President Purdy, of the tax depart
ment says: 1T would be great adj
vantage to the city and to the owners
of real property If the remnants of the
personal property tax We're abolished.
If the personal tax law is not to be en-
forced it certainly should be repealed.
Only conscientious persons and trustees
pay the personal tax now. Most rich
men escape. Their evasions are palp-
able in the fact that personal property
pays less than one-ten1h of the taxes,
although everybody knows that the
personal wealth of New Works popula
ton exceeds the real estate valuations.
The state Inheritance. mortgage and
stock transfer taxes exceed in receipts
the personal tax collections of New
York city. This suggests a way in
which wealth in the form of personality
can be made to pay it's share of the
public burdens. An inheritance and
an income tax for local purposes would
be collectable from the wicked as We'll
as from the conscientious.

Mrs. Rorer, OF cook book fame, tells

Don't let the boy have to ask,
or, worse yet, tease for every
cent of spending money. Every
child should contribute his share
to the work Of the farm, simply
because it is right, and by no
means should he expect pay for
doing his duty, However, to
cultivate a spirit of thrift, the
orphan lamb, the pet pig, or a
few hens, may well be the prop
erty OF the small boy, and any
money accruing therefrom, his
also. The larger boy may culti-
vate a parcel of the farm (smaH
or large, according to circum-
stances) on shares, with results
satisfactory to father and son
alike. 1t will be found that the
average boy will be as careful
and wise in expending his own
money as his fathers money
