An Interesting Game

THIS game is used by the boys and
! girls of England as one of their
pleasantest of pastimes. and you of
America will welcome it heartily. for,
combined with its fun. the exercise of
some wit is necessary. So, out with
your thinking caps,
To prepare for the game number of
lists should be written like the one that
you will find below. The players are
then seated and each one is supplied
with a pencil and sheet of paper, on
which the list is arranged. Here is the
list and the key to it. and you will see
that the object is TO supply the correct
letter in the place OF each ''x":

>. LIKE Couldn't live without it).
8. Xxle (the more you take from it.
the larger it gets).

g. xrxxs chat for which women
spend too much money!.
9. LINKS fnear to every maiden's

10. INSTRUMENTATION xlxnxsx (the
longest word in the English language).
OF course several words could be
evolved for each one of the 10 numbers,
but the following key" is to be your
standard for the answers:
/. Mat

3. Hole.
T. Roof.
s. Lots.
s. Draft.
Z. Realty.
S. Dress
g. Lungs.
10. Transubstantiationa
Either the hostess or one of the play
ers is chosen as a leader, and to that
one only should a copy of the key" be
given. Each player writes. the word
he guesses against its corresponding
number in the list and as one finishes
his paper may be examined by the
leader The papers may be corrected
again and again until the leader finds
one that is like the key" when he
announces the winner.
II some sort of prize is offered for
the correct answer even more interest
will be taken in the test, and if de-
sired. a second prize may be given to
the one who made the greatest number
Of words out of the list.

MARVELLOUS SKILL

in Aberdeen.

Since the advent in this city of

excitement not only in this vicinity
but wherever any of the numerous
patients he has relieved can be found.
has been most intense. The Old
story-the lame walk, the deaf hear,
the blind see-has been reality in
our midst, and what would be scout
ed as too marvellous to be true is
now demonstrated in too palpable a
manner to leave room for the slight
est doubt or uncertainty. That the
doctor has achieved vast amount
of good in this community no one
will attempt to deny, who has CIV

cation.
When DR.. Darrin first arrived he
advertised very extensively, and the
cry went up that there was some
catch in it, Then he cured one case

very worst cases were given him as
a further test by the doubters. If
he cures this one l will believe it,
they echoed, and after treatment
the patient was as sound as dol

of patients began, and the stream
grew every day during his stay, num-

the county.

Republicans and Direct Taxes.

Every person familiar with the
history of the country knows that
tariff duties have been increased
from time to time. The tendency
is steadily upward, although all the
Protectionist theories require that
the infant industries which have
been fOstered into adult strength
should become independent OF the
tariff. Thirty or forty years ago
General Garfield expressed common
opinion among Protectionists when
he said he believed in a protective
system which led ultimately to free
trade. In spite Of that, the protected
industries are continually clamoring
for more protection.
So long as increasing the duties
did not prevent the customs from
yielding a sufficient revenue, the re-
publicans had plain sailing. While
really protecting special interests,
they were after fashion providing
II
the majority of the people.
But now, in order to satisfy the
demands of the tariff beneficiaries
who hold a mortgage upon the par
ty, the republicans have got to raise
the duties above the point where
they will yield the most revenue and
at the same time they have increas-
ed the expenses of the Government
so that additional revenue is i'm
perative.
II no direct taxes were to be lev
led the republicans would be COM
PEELED to reduce duties in order to
permit importation and get more rev.
enue. They can save themselves
from revising the tariff downward
only be resorting to direct taxes
This explains why the republicans
in the house voted for an inheritance
tax and the Senate voted for cor
poration tax, and both branches Of
Congress supported the proposed
constitutional amendment to provide
an income tax. To satisfy the tariff
beneficiaries duties must be raised
above the revenue producing point,
and the whole nation must be taxed
more than ever before through do
nestle prices. But the revenue will
actually be curtailed by this process
The people who must pay more in
direct taxes for private benefit are
to pay direct taxes in addition to
support the Government.
