side In the goodness of her heart
Mrs. Dubbs welcomed and fed the
stranger, and, instead of turning it out
in the cold world, she let it remain and
make itself at home Shortly before
bedtime Mrs. Dubbs smiled to herself
as she looked over at her husband and
said:
John, / do wish 1 had a new bonnet
for tomorrow
yes. and 1 wish I had new hat"
he mumbled in reply.
There was silence for a time as she
patched pair of trousers and he read
his paper, and then he suddenly start
ed up and remarked:
Il wonder where that purp is
HE must be UPSTAIRS" she gasped
as she looked around.
1t was race between them to the
top of the stairs, and they came out

AN EASTER COMEDY.
MRS. DUBBs hadn't lived with Mr..

MRS. DUBBS hadn't lived with Mr..
Dubbs twenty five years without
knowing his peculiaritles He never
made Christmas presents; he never
observed birthdays; he did not regard
Easter as the proper day to bring out
new headgear. Mrs. Dubbs had always
rebelled about the latter, and the time
had finally come when she meant to
break out in open defiance. She began
long weeks ahead to cut nickels and
dimes off the household expenses and
lay them aside for another purpose.
and when at last Easter drew near she
counted up her savings and found the
sum sufficient to buy what her soul
craved for. She didn't expect that
Dubbs would be pleased. but if she got
out of it without a solemn lecture she
would be more than satisfied.

Queerly enough. Mr.. Dubbs had not
only come to the conclusion that he
needed a new hat, after wearing his
old one for five years, but he SO far
went back on his record as to decide
to bring 1t out Easter Sunday. 1t took
considerable schenning on his part to
buy a new plug and get it home and
deposit the box on the spare bed up
stairs the day before Easter. and, al
though he was home when his wifes
new bonnet arrived in it's bandbox, it
was sneaked upstairs into the spare
room and left beside his hat without
his being any the wiser.
That evening as Mr. Dubbs was re-
turning home from the store he found
a puppy on the doorstep shivering with
the cold, and in the goodness of his
heart. for he was good in streaks, he
picked up the pup and carried it in

door of the spare room they saw the
dog. He was still chewing away, but
had nearly finished. On the bed and
floor were strips of bandboxes and
pieces of hat brim and hat crown, and

And that was all-all except that the

THE TACOMA TAX.

| The New York Times wants tC
know why we should amend The con
stitution of the United States when
congress very easily in few words
can "apportion" an income tax among
the several states, according to
their respective numbers"
"The trainers Of the constitution
provided that direct taxes should be
so apportioned. In the twenty years
that preceded the constitutional ;S1n-
vention a great deal had been said
about taxation without representation
The members of the convention were
sensitive upon tn, subject. 1t was
declared in the resolution introduced
on July IS, 1887, that representation
ought to be a.portioned according to
direct taxation TIE debates show
that it was the sentiment of the con-
vention that the apportionment OF
representation and &taxation by the
same scale-is just The danger was
evident that, If this rule were omit
ed, a majority of the states might
combine against few others or
against one state, and burden it with
taxes far beyond its proportional
representation in congress. Accord
ingly the constitution, as adopted,
declared that representatives and d.
rect taxes should be apportioned
among the several states according
to their respective numbers.
'The sound reasons thai prompted
the adoption of this principle still ex-
list. So far from becoming obsolete,
they have been strengthened and
have taken on new validity with the
lapse of years. Democratic states
men are. continually prating about the
wisdom of the fathers, Republicans
sometimes allude 10 it. Why should
we depart now from the safe rule
they layed down?
I'm addition to the argument from
the wisdom of the fathers, from the
constitution, and from justice and
equity, argues the Times. there is
another reason why we would com.
mend to the advocates of an income
tax an apportionment according to
population instead of an amendment
of the constitution. They can get an
apportioned tax enacted and applied.
There is some danger that their con-
stitutional amendment may be beaten.
The adverse votes of the legislatures
of twelve states would reject 1t. Nat

Jersey, Massachusetts and .Pennsyl-
vania will not be enthusiastic. for an
