TOMMY's REVENGE.


| Tommy Hopkins chief joy was a
pet goat, says the New York Times.
His father in moment Of tempo
lrary in sanity had bought 1t to-
lgether with harness and d cart, as
a birthday present, and during the
two years Of it's existence had
never ceased to regret the purchase.
It's appetite for the family WASH was
amazingly, and it evinced a strong
predilection fer Mr.. Hopkins eypan-
sive negligee shirts. Perhaps it was
Just inquisitiveness that prompted the
goat to put his front feet on the
edge Of the ash can and upset it,
but the frequency with which he
achieved this end made it appear
rather as an evidence of pure GUS
sedness. In spite Of all this an
noyance, Mr. Hoppin was loath to
encounter his sons wrath, which,
on occasion, could be disagreeable,
and he refrained from suggesting
that the animal be disposed of.
By and by Mrs. Hoppin took Tom
my away to visit his cousin in Read
ling Alas! the goat had to remain
at home, and Tommy's otherwise per-
feet happiness was MARI ed. Mr..
Hoppin, however, made the most OF
the boys absence and led the goat
to the bourne from which no trav-
eler returns. He supposed that 9th
er pleasures would cause the boy
to forget his pet,bu lest there should
be any misunderstanding on the part
of MrsHoppin, he wrote to her con-
corning the deed.
When the time came for Tommy
to come home he showed delight at
the prospect Of seeing his beloved
GOAT, making many plans as to what
be would do with it. His mother,
not knowing to how to break the new
of. its taking away, waited until the
train was approaching Philadelphia
before telling him. The, boy re-
ceived the news in sullen silence
but it was evident that more than
this was to be expected.
Mr.. Hoppin boarded the train at
theColumbia Avenue Station SO as
to be able to ride the rest Of the way
with his family. Mrs. Hoppin en-
braced and kissed him with true
wifely soiicitude, but Tommy did not
speak, and gazed straight ahead into
space.
Tommy" exclaimed his mother,
here is your father Aren't you 60
ing to speak to him."
The boys revenge was more COM
plete than he meant it to be. 1t

ness and Innocence that led Tim to

TAXING BACHELORS.

! The gathering of numerus State
if with them had not speedily come
into view in a half dozen varying
farms our old friends, the bill for
the tax on bachelors. Why tax
on bachelors? is a query that is eff
fectively answered by another: Why
not? The bachelor is the social
pariah. He has no share in the home
building which makes the people
great and the domesticity which max
the country solid. He waists his SUBJ
stance in idle living and patronizes
clubs when he should be- buying coal,
paying gass bills, navigating peram-
bulators and contributing his mite
of an argument against race suicide.
Probably the only place the bach
e1or is not looked at askance is at
the seashore in the summer months.
However, as matter of defense, it
is pertinent to say that the bache-
Tor is commendable institution and
an indispensable accessory toE the So
cial scheme. Economically, too, he
has his place. Because he has no
landlord, it is not to be said that
he pays no rent. Because he has no
grocer or butcher, it may not be said
that he does not aid in their sup
port He does, only less directly
than the married man who yields to
them directly. He buys a thousand
useless and some useful things which
a married man may not, and there
are times when he is convenience
of surprising quality. And the bach
eTor is taxed all ready. The married
man of similar ability is always IA
vored. When times are tight the
bachelor idles and the Benedict has
work in preference. The bachelor
gets paid a little less chan hissu1arri-
ed brother of similar standing. The
Bachelor is put in the exposed po-
sition He is nearer the danger
point on the firing line. HIS vaca
ton is shorter, his sins are not con-
doned, his excuses are not allowed.
In short the bachelor is penallzed
all along the line Why should he be
assessed directly when be contributes
SO literally indirectly? Hes escapes
nothing but a1imony, which may also
be merely a titular escape ST.

A new theory of gold bearing al
luvial deposits has been worked out
by M Fleux, a Trench geologist.
1t has been usually assumed that gold
sulphite and telluride in the eartRs
central nucleus have been dissolved
in hot springs and afterward deposi-
ted with gelatinous silica, and that
erosion of dae auriferous Quartez
veins thus formed has given the al
luvial strata containing metallic gold.
This proves to be true in some cases.
More often, however, the gold In the
deposits is associated with basis
rocks like diabase or diorite, instead
of with silica, and reasons are found
for concluding that, in general heavy
orrptive rocks have brought up
some Of the metallic sold from the
earth's interior, and after oxidation
and erosion the lighter materials of
these rocks have been washed away,
leaving the heavier portions, includ-
ing the gold.
