$4,000 in corporation taxes were re-
ccived by Secretary OF State c. S.
Tlngey Wednesday or this sum about
1900 was received in the Office be-
fore closing hours in the evening and
the remainder came in letters in the
later mails
Mr.. Tingey SAYS It is his belief that
quite all of the live corporations have
now paid their tax He estimates
that about 2500 corporations have
paid the sums required. There are
about 1000 corporations exempted
from the tax. These include churches.
fraternal societies, insurance COM
panies, schools and the like. Thus a
total of $500 is accounted for. This
number. Mr.. Tingey believes, is prac-
tically all of the corporations which
are live" az this time
Wednesday is the last day Of grace
for the payment OF the tax. Hence
forth d penalty OF $40 for each cor
poration will be added 10 the amount
of the tax. The tax varies according
to the capitalization OF the corpor.
alton. Twenty dollars Is generally ac-
cepted as being about the true aver
age Thus 1t will be seen that the
state derives approximately $4,000
from this source, The law requiring
the corporation tax was passed at the
last session of the legislature.

JAPAN is ABOUT TO
COMPLETELY ABSORB KOREA

Toxic. Tuesday, Nov. 23-Undoubt-
edly the next important step taken
in Korea will be the abolishment Of
eXtra-territoriality Under existing
conditions, in force since the first of
November. the courts Of Korea are ad-
ministered entirely by Japanese and
under Japanese law. 1t is therefore
argued that in view of the fact of abb
sence of eXtra-territoriality In Japan,
there is no necessity for a continu-
ance of it in Korea. he conditions
now existing In that country, point.
of course, to gradual absorption.
II is pointed out that the dual re-
sponsibility makes administration
much more difficult and expensive and
consequently the Koreans themselves
do not derive the greatest amount of
benefit from the development of their
resources and the Improvement OF ex-
listing conditions
IL may be said. however, that ia
pan Is extremely loath to take the final
step, which by many Is regarded as in
evltable, and that she will not do so
for some tine to come.

seems that when he convened court
at one of the towns on his circuit it
was found that no pens, ink OF paper

it developed that nc county funds
were available for this purpose. The

forcefully, then drew ONE money
from his own pocket. He vas about
to hand this to the clerk, when a Wis.

The old judge flushed darkly.
You are fined twenty-five dollars
for contempt, sir! Hand the money
to the clerk" he said; when the pom,

continued:

what pens, ink and paper the court
may require, and If there is anything
left over, you can give the gentleman

The F~ee-FaW-FumS Of Manhood
BY FRANK CRANE.

It is with ghosts az with men; some
are good and some are bad-and the
good die young. Modern pragmatism,
with its steely and philistfne science,
has invaded shadow land and mas
sacred the %innocents, the gentle and
harmless credulities of childhood and
ignorance; but the fiercer kind, the
old man-eaters, still keep their caves
and issue forth to raven among souls.
The kindly fee-faw-fums of child
hood, how many delicious shivers we
owe them; the Things that stood be-
hind doors, that trooped into the
church when the congregation went
out, that lurked in closet corners and
under the bed, that rustled and
swished and creaked and tapped in
the dim chamber when we lay awake
at night! They have all gone-witn
Santa Claus. And we miss them, for
fear is a condiment, like cayenne
pepper; a little is an excellent relish.
The zest of war is its dash of fear,
and men fee clubdom to hunt noun
tain lions, and sail the uncertain sea
for that Jingle of the nerves the solid
earth cannot give; and those who
hardly rise to these perils may read
of them in "The Three Musketeers"
and Treasure Island" When we see
how barren of the charm of awe is
modern life, from the nursery, where
they read science primers, to religion,
where they have banished the inter-
esting devil, we almost envy the Spir.
itualists, those gourmets in palatable
creeps.
And now for the deadlier rev.
%enants, those dead ideas and l~ifeless
beliefs" that yet walk and chill and
paralyze this garish world. 1t is a
curious and startling fact, that we
are governed, not so much by real
convictions, as by the ghost of dead
convictions.-Atlantic.

Berlin's Drink Percentage.

A German physician, DR.. Hirsch-
field, has been computing the quanti-
ty Of alcoholic drink consumed IN
Berlin. Berlin possessed three years
ago 1882 drinking. shops-one for
G10 inhabitants-in addition to 3Ol
where wine only is sold. During the
period the Berliners consumed 43S,-
089,532 liters of beer, ~24,704,525,
liters Of brandy, and 19,956,062 liters
of wine. This amounts to an average
annual consumption per head OF pop
ulation of 1854 liters Of alcoholic
drink, at a cost Of 100 marks-a
mark being one shilling. AS the av-
erage income of the Berliners, in
GLIDING women and children, is about
6S3 marks, it may be said that the
Berliner spends a seventh part of his
income in intoxicating admissions
