into nfe in the spring. Doesn't old Winter
steal away when he hears the soft foot
steps of the gentle maiden, Miss Spring? ~
And old Mister Graytail sat upright and
wiped his nose with the end Of his tail.

summer. And I can say the same for
autumn and the winter. They are all

"oh. ha, ha. hal" laughed old Mister
GraytaA The winter glorious? Why, It
is cold enough to freeze the hair on a
brass monkey, my dear. How can you
say the winter is lovely?'
TN admit that the winter brings US
some very cold days and nights" smiled
Lady Pinknose. but with those cold DAYS
and nights come many happy hours. For
instance, when the snow is flying about
and the winds are bowling through the
branches, aren't we just too happy to he

plenty to eat7 And you should remember
the keen enjoyment of running out for a
bit OF exercise and a game OF hide-and-

Why, rye seen you as happy and merry
as your own young son while frolicking in
the snow. And, then, how we all gather

friend. how can any season be finer than
the winter? It's glorious! And the winter

THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT

The proposed sixteenth amend ment to the constitution was read in the senate on the day upon which the Declaration of Independence is celebrated. and not dissenting vote was recorded against it.
 There is little or no doubt, says the Augusta Chronicle, about tho action of the house of represents lives on the matter and it remains for three fourths of the, legislatures of the states to ratify the resoiu- ton. It will be fully a year before the results will be known. But there is every reason to doubt among them. the calm and ease with which some of the senators permitted the resolution to go through, if the amendment will ever become chrystalized and firmly fixed as part of the constitution.
 Thirty-five of the forty-six states must approve the amendment to insure it's adoption. It's defeat de- bends upon the opposition of twelve states.
 It is interesting to speculate on it's chances at this time. The six New England states, except, per- haps, Vermont, present no hope to the supporters of the income tax idea. and New York, Pennaylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia are also counted as almost surely against it. Here we have eleven at the outset. Even if this estimate should prove incor- rect, the opponents of the income tax have another chance for vic tory in securing the control of the Nevada legislature. Vermont is another state which might readily turn the scale, when the fight is on, though why Vermont should be considered as less certain to oppose the measure than New Hampshire or other states of her section, is not altogether clear. Ohio is regarded as in favor of the amendment, ai- though as far as her selfish inter ests in opposing it are concerned, they can be considered as not less than those of Pennsylvania and other neighbors.
 The contest. whether it termin. ates discouragingly or not, will be of value to the entire nation in direct ing thought and comment to our problem and promises to give in- teresting revelations az to the pre- vailing sentiments of the American people.
 Forty years have passed since an d du1cilU tuClt tO tu0 COI6LAtutAOu uoo been attempted, and naturally the step is a grave and serious one. The words of the resolution arc here given:
 Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of tho United States of America in Con- gress assembled (two-thirds of each house concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by the legislatures of thrae. fourths of the several states, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the constitution:
 Article XVI The congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever sources derived. without apportionment among the several states, and with out regard to any census enumer- ation."

Confident of Statehood

Arizona will get statehood in the next session of congress" said Joseph E. Meyers of Phoenix to the Washington correspondent of the Albuquerque Journal, upon his ar- rival at the national capital last week.
 We have already begun to pre- pare for the celebration" continued MT. Myers. "We don't want state hood in connection with New Mexico; that was settled long ago, but we not only expect, but know, that congress will be just at it's next session.
 "We did not press the matter. of statehood at the extra session be- cause we realized that the country was intensely interested in the set- clement of the tariff, and for the time being we were content to wait, but we have not lost interest by any means.
 "It is trite to say that Arizona is prepared for statehood. The terri tory is not only growing in popu- lation more than any other part of the west, but the quality of immi- grants is higher, dare say, than any other territory or state in this country.
 "I should be willing to bet that we have more college graduates in Arizona than any other state or territory, in proportion to it's popu- lation, in this country. and that is saying a great deal. However, it may be better to wait until congress assemblies next December before ! talking about statehood"
