Swollen Fortunes.

The crass extravaganza of gilded New
 York in all of it's sordidness is revealed
 by the testimony in the Gould divorce
 case.
 Mrs. Gould admitted having spent $224- 600 in single year upon herself. She
 told the court she could not possibly buy her gowns for less than $4O,0O0 year.
 Which somewhat gilds the lily of ex- travagance.
 George Gould testified his father left
 an estate of sso,O00,0o0; that the income
 from this estate for each of the Jay
 Could heirs was s150oo a week, s7so,000 a year or nearly $5000,000 yearly for the
 six children.
 sum sufficient to keep the wolf a
 good way from the door. Now
 Aside from the showing of wasteful- ness and stopper pulling dissipation ana social dirt one of the lessons from this divorce suit, which has drawn it's slow salacious length through the courts, Is this one:
 We need in this county an inheritance and an income tax law finder a reasonable inheritance tax law the huge estate of Jay Gould would have welded to the federal government not less than s1O,0000O0. In some European
 states so large a fortune would have been taxed s20,O0O00o, or 25 per cent | And the Gould estate IS put one of l several large American family fortunes | Also, on the basis of a per cent in- | come tax a reasonably low levy, the gov | ernment would receive from the s5oO0,OOt l incomes an annual tax return Of $25O,- 1 OO0.
 l Would such taxes work a hardship?
 Evidently no. MT. Gould's testimoney

A Pitiful Warninu.

Abner Smith, the wrecker of the Bank
 of America, Chicago, and for ten years
 circuit judge in that city, is now convict
 in the Joliet penitentiary.
 He voluntarily knocked at the door
 of the big bastile and asked to be ab-
 mitted.
 When he learned the supreme court
 order to avoid publicity, quietly left
 his home by the back door and, unob-
 served, went to the railroad station, and
 thence to Joliet.
 What had he done?
 Why should the gray haired judge. so
 long honored by his fellow men. slouch
 through back alleys to take up his life as convict?
 Crooked banking.
 That is to say, this was the crime on
 which he was held to the grand jury and
 convicted. But really Smith was guilty of
 Speculation, He speculated on the board of trade while he was on the. bench. and when he went into banking the fever of specula- tion was still in his veins. The judge was found guilty of fraud and deception as a banker. He was sem tenced for that crime. But his real crome was Speculation The court cOulQ not pufllSn oHilh TUT speculating, because there is no law on the statue books against that kind of gambling. Nevertheless speculation ere ated the necessity for the other crime. Warden Murphy says the case of smith has no parelel in the annals Of the penitentiary. Never before has Jurist of the dignity of Smiths position been sent to prison. It was a triumph of justice. | Strong influences intervened in behalf 1 of the banker-judge. There was a long legal fight, but finally justice-that jus | tice this stern judge so often evoked | for others-overtook him. It was pitiful. Ptiful when this old man stood at the i, threshold of his old home and took a ias sweeping glance at the familiar things | of a 30 years residence, kissed his ole wife goodby and then walked heavily away.
 | Pitiful, but another warning against 1 the insidious tempter- Speculation! l It was pitiful when the wife stood al I that back door. voiceless and pereft gazing with unseeing eyes at the evidenced about her of 50 years of happy married I life.

is that despite the large sums spent on the Gould castle and an ultra extra vagant wife, he was unable to spend all Als income. He says he saved from this income since his fathers death the tidy sum of $10,000.000.

 Your failure may reveal to you weak ness you had not suspected. Credit the failure to experience and go on.

 Never cry over spilled milk.
 Life is too short to grieve, and there is too much milk in the world to bother your head. Let the spilled stuff go and go after more milk.
 Never admit defeat to yourself.

Little Tragedy of Love.

She had told him that her father ut terly disapproved of him and had is sued peremptory orders that he should not come to the house. She trembled as she told him, and there were tears in her soft blue eyes. for she feared that even then her papa might be within hearing, possibly reach, of her loved one
 But he was brave even in the castle of the enemy.
 He was no fair weather sweetheart and the storm and stress beating upon the course of their true love made him the stancher in his devotion. He reached out his strong young arms to her and LOOK her to his manly bosom.
 What boots it. dearest?' he whispered to her soft and low and with all the confidence of youth What

 About four years ago George c. White of Nevada, la, developed an appetite for politics and was elected member Of the legislature, where he rapidly forged to the front.
 He was chairman of the committee on ways and means of the lower house ana was regarded as one of the most forceful members of the general assembly.
 While member of the legislature Mr. White was also a student in the law classes of Drake university at Des Moines and last spring he graduated.
 But this is not all.
 He is going to Yale for two years, where. with his Drake credentials. he can at the expiration of that time com plete a postgraduate course
 Then MT White will go back to his home town of Nevada and open law office.
 Now, mind you
 This man is 47 years of age!
 And when he gets through fale ne will be nearly 50 years old-the age when some men begin to think or retiring from business.
 Mir White Is wise.
 Realizing a little late in life that he had missed hiS vocation, that ne ldu ihduo a false start, he simply backed up ana started over again He discovered he had been "cut out for a lawyer but had been ''spofled in the making" Very well; he would make himself over.
 It Is safe to predict that with his ini- tiative and nerve in taking up the study of law at 45 MT. White will succeed in the practice of it.
 The fact Is most men grow old and die prematurely because they lose interest In life.
 MT. White is as keen in his newborn zest for the law as any man Of 20. His plans are projected far into the fu- ture years, like a boys plans. He will begin his real life at time when most men begin to die.
 And this optimistic viewpoint will keep him young.
 He does not propose that his life shall slowly dribble away drop by drop. Con- trariwise-
 He prefers to go over the precipice with the full sweep and rush of Niaragal

ME confidently expect this 19O9Au- w gust Sale of ours to be a record breaker in the volume of its business. Last August, with a strike on and a gloomy feeling prevalent in all circles, the Sale was one of the most success ful of our series. Jacobs values were triumphant over the sense of despond- ency, and they carried cheer into many home. New, with conditions alto gether encouraging, Jacobs Quality Furniture at August prices, cannot but be irresistible in It's appeal.
