The proposition to tax the income OF cor.
poratlons is the most radical yet advanced
in the line Of Federal regulation. There
was no suggestion OF this move In the early
discussion Of the subject. The President
has assumed personal responsibility for the
move and undoubtedly feels equal to the
contest he has brought about.

A stamp tax would produce more special
revenue; 1t would work with greater ease;

] Laberon, aged rs years, owes her
life today Mrs. Laberon was cross
ing Broadway when a Grand Avenue
car bore down upon her. In the
crush of street traffic, it was i'm
possible for her to escape.
Hundreds of Christmas shoppers
gazed horror stricken, expecting to
see the aged woman ground to death
beneath the wheels. Mrs. Laberon
calmly sat down an instant before
the fender struck her ankles. She
was tossed back against the screen,
still sitting upright and thus she re-
mained gazing benignly about until
badly frightened motorman brought
the heavy car to stop. Then Mrs.
Laberon was assisted to her feet.
She was not even bruised.
"I realized that if / sat down and
raisd my feet, I would not be hurt, .
said Mrs. Laberon after the unusual
experience. 4 suppose most women
would have been excited, but l was
not. 1t was fun riding on the fem
der, but 1 would not like to repeat

A CAMEL STORY.
Fooled In Its Revenge, the Animal
Committed Suicide.

Foiled In Its Revenge, the Animal
Committed Suicide.
Some years ago ii Glanced that a
valuable camel working in an old mill
in Africa was severely beaten by its
driver. who perceiving that the camel
had treasured up the injury and was
only waiting favorable opportunity
for revenge, kept strict watch upon
the animal. Time passed away. The
camel. perceiving that it was watched.
was quiet and obedient. and the driver
began to think that the beating was
forgotten.
One night after lapse of several
months the man, who slept on rails
ed platform in the mill, while, us is
customary. the camel was stalled in a
corner, happening to remain awake,
observed by the bright moonlight that
when all was quiet the animal looked
cautiously around, rose softly and,
stealing over toward spot where a
bundle of clothes and a burnooSe,
thrown carelessly on the ground. re-
sembled a sleeping figure, cast itself
with violence upon them, rolling with
all it's weight and tearing them most
viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was com
plete, the camel was returning to its
corner when the driver sat up and
spoke At the sound of his voice and
perceiving the mistake it had made
the animal was so mortified at the fail
ure and discovery of its scheme that it
dashed its head against the wall and
died on the spot Sheffield Telegraph.

Lavender.

How many of those who delight in
the odor of fresh sweet lavender ever
think how the plant came by it's sooth-
Ing name? Back he must go in imag-
ination to the clean old Romans and
their cult of the bath. Lavender found
high favor with them to perfume their
baths. and it was they who called it
lavandula, the root of the name being
the Latin lavare-to wash. In olden
days, too. lavender leaves were an i'm
portant ingredient in the making of
precious spikenard ointment. Although
we regard lavender as so peculiarly
English a plant. owing to its extensive
cultivation in the home counties and
it's associations with our English homes
and gardens. it was not, as matter OF
fact. introduced to this country until
the sixteenth century, when it came
from France with the Huguenot set
tiers. The Romans did not apparently
bring it to us when they gave us our
fine roads. s.-Westminster Gazette.

Although seismologists have not yes

Stiffness invariably preceding an earth

A great earthquake Is almost always

amount to hundreds or even thousands

After the war he returned and gath

of one mechanic he made five wag-

was good showing He sold his first
wagon to a Methodist preacher. The
minister paid him with ten bushels
of corn, five bushels of potatoes,

thirty dollars in money. The other

Three years later he had an out

took the blue ribbon at the Topeka

Then came the panic of 1873. He
had more vehicles than money. To
dispose of them he hitched two teams
to two strings of buggies and started
across the country, selling them to
different farmers for what ever he
could get.
His final trip was into what was
traded what remained of his buggies
for TIA head of cattle. With these he
returned to Paola and wintered them
there. The hard winter and scarcity
of feed caused much loss among his
stock. The next spring he traded his
cattle for Arkansas timber land.

guilty five of the six employees of the
American Sugar Refining company Who
have been on trial for the last three
weeks, charged with criminal conspir-
acy to defraud the government of Gus

the case of James F. Bendernagel a

ished for the commission of two overt
acts, the maximum penalty for each
OF which is two years Imprisonment
and $1,000 fine.
The failure to convict Cashier Ben
dernagel is regarded by the govern
ment as distinct disappointment. The
effort Of the prosecution has been to
trace the customs frauds already adj
mitted to higher source and Bender
nagel, tn ,ugh not an executive officer
of the company. was an employe who
came in contact with those who shaped
the companys affairs in their larger
aspects.
Special emphasis was laid by Mr..
StimsoIa in his summing up for the
prosecution on such of the evidence as
tended to show culpability upon the
part of Bendernagel
AS other indictments are pending
against the convicted five. it was agreed
that they be paroled in custody of the
counsel with leave to renew bail when
argument for a new trial is heard, at
a date to be fixed. Bendernagel who
was present when the verdict was an
nounced said that he was gratified,
but he issued no statement. On coun-
sells motion, the court agreed to sever
ing the indictment against the former
cashier from that of the other defend
ants.
The verdict brings to a close the
governments first step in criminal pro-
cedure following the vast under weigh
ing frauds disclosed in the docks OF
the American Sugar Refining company.
