GRANDDADDY's CUFF LINKS.

OF course, you have rummaged and
searched through all of grandmother S
and auntie's jewel boxes, trunks. and
cedar chests for trinkets and jewelry with
which to bedeek your vain person.
You have found many things, perhaps,
that you used in ways that would seem
weird and peculiar to those same ances-
tors be they in this world or the next.
But have you taken possession of grand
fathers or granduncle's or even daddy's
odd cum links?
If not, the next rainy day go on stu
hunt and gather together those matches.
neglected articles-yOu Will be astonished
what varied collection you will probably
Finland the next bright day HE yourself
to your pet jeweler or man who mends
things and have him make hatpins of
them for you.
The cost is trifiing, the result usually
more than satisfactory.
You viii have your 'woman's weapon
in a style as odd and a design equally as
pretty as the long-prlced ones you have
so coveted in the shop windows, ana
much more interesting.
One girl unearthed a topaz cum link,
and deciding its Old-fashiOned setting 70
be too dainty and pretty 10 be hidden
among the puffs and maline Of her head
gear, had the back taken of, a ring put
on the top. and 10! when hung from a
tiny gold chain around her pretty neck,
worn with a stunning costume Of brown,
with a touch of old blue, 1t was just Won
derfully pretty.

INDIRECT TAXATION.
Revenues Derived Therefrom Not an
Index 60 Prosperity.

From the Boston Herald
The comptroller Of the State OF New
York promises to show in his annual re
port that the State has experienced one
Of the most promising years In its exist
ence- His claims are based largely on
the fact that the receipts from indirect
taxation have broken all records The
claim suggests fallacy common in Off
cial and popular circles. that revenue s.
cured by indirect taxation is net gain 10
the state and no increase Of burden upon
the people of the commonwealth. Or
dinarily, legislatures think they have
solved a financial problem when they dis
cover some new means for indirect taxa
tiOn. 1t seems to be forgotten that all
taxes are, alike, a burden upon the prop
erty in the commonwealth. and that in
direct taxation, if it serves any purpose
should relieve the burden OF direct taxa
JiOn. This relief does not always follow.
Indirect taxation saves the realization by
the people OF The burden they are bearing.
IL enables the bills Of administrative ex-
tTavagance 90 1e met without increasing
The direct tax and alarming the people.
The total of the indirect tax is not the
accurate measure Of a States prosperity.

Who stood 'gaiDSt currents Of the time

Gainst Mammon's Establishments. 'gainst
social wrong!
And tho the tav0ri'e Of wealth and rride.
His genial heart e'er held an open store
To plaintiTe p0yerty-unt0 the poor
nobler friend with helping hand aud love.
To lift them from their lowly liie he s.roye.
Alas, in manho0d's power, while splendor

Upon the height wheTeon he stood alone.
That Death should make Of him its shin

He should have lived, to stand as refuge

A lighthouse in the storm-impending hour.
Bat the high lamp is quenched in gloom
and dark
By Fates shrin blast. His soul with

Shall ne'er pour forth in music's eIoauence
His yoioe-a broken lutte string-sound no

From thoughts high chamber. Death hath
