form rule, are held by the men who
made them, will pass on TO the second
generation, and in so doing will pay
an inheritance tax to the state. This
inheritance tax will be, in time, the
source of considerable income. 1t is
worth figuring on, even as it is
Not only will the inheritance tax
afford a greater and greater source of
revenue to states, but it is also one
of the most righteous taxes imposed.
This is especially true in states where
the tax is so graduated that 1t falls
but lightly upon legacies of moderate
size and increases with the size of the
fortunes that are left. There is much
merit in tax upon unearned wealth.

SORRY.

There is much that makes me sorry
as | journey down life's way,
And | seem to see more pathos in
poor human lives each day
I'm sorry for the strong brave men
who shield the weak from harm
But who, in their own troubled hours,
find no protecting arm.
I'm sorry for the vlctors, who have
reached success, to stand
AS targets for the arrows shot by en-
vious failures hand.
I'm sorry for the generous hearts who
freely share their wine.
But drink alone the gall Of tears In
fortunes dear decline.
I'm sorry for the souls who build their
own fame's funeral pyre,
Derided by the scornful throng like
ice deriding fire.
I'm sorry for the ,conquering ones,
who know not sins defeat,
But daily tread fierce desire meath
scorched and bleeding feet.
I'm sorry for the anguished hearts that
break with passions strain,
But I'm sorrier for the poor, starved
souls that never know loves
pain.
Who hunger on through barren years,
not tasting joys they crave,
For sadder far is such lot than weep
ing DER a grave.
I'm sorry for the souls that come un-
welcomed into birth,
I'm sorry for the unloved old who
cumber up the earth,
I'm sorry for the suffering poor in
life's great moeStrom hurled,
In truth I'm sorry for them all who
make this aching world.
But underneath whate'er seems sad,
and is not understood
| know there lies, hid from our sight
a mighty germ of good.
And this belief stands firm with me-
my sermon, motto. text
The sorriest things in this life will
seem grandest in the next.

ORIGIN OF THE FLAG.

In an old English manor house
some IA miles southwest Of North
ampton, and about six miles north
east of Banbury, may be found today
the possible origin of the flag Of our
country. At Sulgrave Manor and in
the beautiful old church at Great
Brington, is the coat of arms OF the
washington family, and a glance at
it's design convinces one that here is
the source from which have sprung
our STARS and Stripes"
Sulgrave Manor was the home Of
the Washingtons early in the 10th
century, having been purchased, with
its adjoining lands, by Lawrence
Washington in 1889, at the time Of
Henry Wits disruption of the monas-
teries. At the time of the Dissolution
it was the property Of the Priory of
Saint Andrew at Northampton.
The stars above the bars in the
Washington arms lends color to the
belief that from it our national flag
was designed, and it is highly appro-
pirate that it should be so There is
food for thought in looking at the
said old walls Of this manor house,
buried in a midland county Of Eng
land, seldom visited, and slowly
crumbllng to decay. and in realizing
that from the lines that still show
| family in the gable was evolved the
banner which for more than 100 years
has waved from the flag poles, from
the windows and housetops, and from
the battleships and merchantmen of
the United States Of America.-Van
| Nordean.

humanity in the aggregate is eternally
condemned, lends them a frame and
provides them incidentally with a
form of existence which, however
mundane and therefore frivolous, has
yet flavor which none other COM
ports.
The flavor is perhaps not quite as
savorous as 1t once was. Relatively,
as time goes, 1t is only the day before
yesterday that any peer, however
coarse, was sacrosanct, and all gentle
folk, however ungenteel, were holy.
The rest of the world was composed
of insects-useful, obsequious, para
site. Now a tradesman will county

few months since that a reigning SOW
ereign was sued by his butcher This
change in the order of things is not
due to the American heiress, but 1t
is due to the very forces that have
produced her.
Since Phoenlcia, the United States
is the foremost commercial nation of

England a taste for trade which for

with the beginning of the present
fiscal year the Republic of Cuba es,

Prior to the war with Spain there
were no publicity bureaus in Cuba.
On the contrary the Spaniards worked
assidiously to prevent the world from
learning of atrocities committed upon
the island. Now the machete is no
longer an instrument of war and a
bureau has been formed for the very
purpose of discriminating information

By removing their remains to the new

WORK ON CHELAN
AVENUE
EAGLE TRANSFER COMPANY AND

TRACTORS HAVE ABOUT HALF
OF THE WORK FINISHED.

The contractors on the Chelan ave-
nue. improvement have finished half
of the work on this avenue. Two
months more of as steady work as
the past will finish the work. 1t will
be remembered that owing to pend
ing litigation against a portion of
the city, the city was unable to sell
the bonds for taking care of this
work. The contractors agreed to
proceed with the work. taking the
bonds as part payment, but this was
done after consulting with the prop
erty owners and securing from most
of them agreements as to putting up
a portion of their assessment. Dur
number of them agreed to put up
three-fifths of the total cost of the
work on the completion of one-half
of the contract So far the contract
ors have received but little money for
the work and now that half of it has
been completed, they are asking that
the money due them from property
owners be forthcoming Notices have
been sent out to a number of prop
erty owners and some collections are
being made.
Chelan avenue plans to be one of
the handsomest thoroughfares in the.
city. 1t is being put on grade, it is
to be sidewalked throughout, a park
ing strip has been left, and every
thing indicative points to this being
a street with many handsome homes.

Whereas, we feel that the friend

lofty in ideals, can never be replaced;

our most sincere, affectionate, and
heartfelt sympathy during this their
time of sorrow.

CAP PTURED A CRAZY
MAN
MAN 60 YEARS OF AGE HAS BEEN
LIVING IN A CAVE NEAR ROCK
THE PEOPLE.

The sheriffs office was notified yes
terday, that a crazy man had been
terrorizing the residents of the
country adjacent to Rock Island.
Sheriff Ferguson went down on No.
4 and with a couple of farmers went
out after the man. He saw them
coming and sought to escape. He
was chased some three or four miles
before he was overtaken. He gives
his name as Frank Mansfield and
says he is 62 years of age. The case
really belonged to Douglas county.
but Sheriff Ferguson was asked by
Sheriff Logan to take care of the
case. and Douglas county would bear
the epenses. The man will be ex-
amined this afternoon by physicians.
The sheriff thinks that he has been
on protracted spree and that with
living in a cave and insufficient food
it has produced temporary insanity,
but he believes that with good care
the man will soon be all right.
After capturing the man, the sher-
iff went to the section house at Rock
Island and, knocking on the door,
asked for lantern to flag the train.
The man inside refused him the Ian
tern, and the sheriff had to build
up bonfire and waited by the track
until the train came along, shortly
after 1 o'clock. Mr.. Ferguson is go
ing to notify the superintendent of
the inhospitality of his section crew.
