SAME OLD STORY OF HOW
EASY IT Is TO GET MONEY
Joe Miller of kansas Gets Good sleep,
hut Loses HIS Bcdmato
and Coin.

Want OF money makes bedferows do
strange things.
when Jos Miller wandered into omaha
from the peaceful village OF Mankato.
kan. he had no idea that he was going 10
lose all his coin. lie came here, he said.
because he had heard a great deal about
the town and he wanted 10 have a good
time.
soon after he arrived al Union station
he was accosted by a young fellow who
told him that he also was a stranger in
the city. His name he gave as z. O'NeiL.
and his home as Casper, Wyo. It was
his proposition that the two should take
in the sights Of Omaha together. Miller
readily agreed TO this, and off the two
went 10 have a big time.
After supper they took in all the places
OF amusement, getting back to the Arcade
hotel shortly after midnight. At the sug-
g~estion Of O'Neii they hired a single room
to cut down expenses. He said there was
no use spending money for beds when IL
could be used TO ave a good time.
Both piled into their little bed and Miller
soon was dreaming Of the folks at home

How long he slept he does not know
Awakening in the daylight, though, he
missed O'Neil.
Maybe he has gone dow stairs ahead
OF me" he thought. When he pulled on
his pants, however, he found his wallet
gone and then it dawncd on him that
O'Neil had taken his money and disap-
peared. At the office he learned the room
had not been paid for and nothing was
known about O'NDL
Miller was wise enough to go to the
police.

EXEMPT.

The proposed income tax would compel every man having a rev.
enue in excess of $4,000 annually, to contribute over and above the
ordinary taxation, to the revenues of the United States.
Did we say every man? There are a few exceptions, and strange
to say, the one excepted are the ones who are proposing the law,
namely, the congressman of the United States.
One would hardly expect it, but still it is so. 1t took a good
deal of nerve, but when it comes to a consideration of their own af-
fairs and interests, congressman have not become famous for their
modesty.
The salary of a congressman today is $500, but they say that is
not sufficient to enable him to live as he should live, and hence the
need Of exemption.
But what about others? We chance to know a man who has an
income of $4,000 a year. His daughter recently wanted a saddle
horse, wanted it badly, and the poor, pressed father denied it to
her; his excuse being that he possibly could not afford it; that his
annual income was too heavily taxed and that he was having such
a struggle to make both ends meet that the purchase of the saddle
horse was out of the question.
There is no doubt but what that man would have his individual
case made an exception to this income tax business, and that if he
were making the law, if imbued with the same thoughts that actuate
our congressman in regard to their personal affairs. he would ex-
empt himself from burden.
So it is now, so it has been through all time, so it will continue
we ourselves should be exempt from burdens. Those we already
carry are beyond our power to sustain.

WHEN LEADING STOCK FALLS" DON'T WORRY.

Sometimes the public is wont to attach too much Importance to
leaders in a certain group of stocks. This dependence may grow
to a point where any untoward information reflects in all stocks in
the group. These may be shares Of companies listed on an ex-
change, or only shares of mining companies occupying neighborly
positions In the camp.
The point that brings these facts to our mind is the recent re-
port of the Combination Fraction company in Goldfeld. Not only
did that corporation pass a dividend, but its statement apparently did
not meet with expectations. But SO far as this. statement rejecting
on the camp is concerned, OF even on the property evolved itself
that becomes largely q matter OF fancy.
Every company cannot be expected to show results that cores
pond exactly with every other company. Nor can a district be ex-
pected to produce results that are Identical month in and month
out To one considering the general stock situation, and watching
the chances Of a rise, we might think that the Goldfeld district had
already done enough to insure a bull movement such as no mining
district had ever experienced before, So far as physical progress is
concerned, this is unquesdonably true not only Of Goldfeld. but Of
many other mining camps.
The speculator more than the investor, picks out the leaders
His disposition to attach Importance to one stock or one group has
been gathered by following the railway and industrial issues-or by
playing the market for wheat, corn, oats or cotton. So firmly
ground do these principles become, even the best Of physical show
ing in the ground does not seem to turn the Spectator from his
lunches"
The general progress of a camp ofttimes influences the market
as a whole more than one might fancy, and it is certain that the
achievements of an individual corporation cannot help bringing
about more favoritism in its stock, If those results are satisfactory.
The investor has less to do in the way of reading signs than has
the observation-disclosures Mining Record.

THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY.

Clearly, United States Senator Daniel of Virginia, is not over
burdened with love of great cities and the conditions that exist
there. In a recent speech, he said:
The gloomiest thaing that a man can behold in all this earth is
one of the great cities, with its squaid degradation crowdng
around the palaces. A man who wants to get a wholesome sight
of life, to get the aroma of fresh air, to breathe among the trees,
to raise his children as worthy and vrtuous American citizens proud
of their country, has to go away from the city and out into the more
sparcely settled portions of the country, where the sun shines and
where every man and woman has opportunity to educate their child
rem in the way they should 60"
And there is some truth, much truth in what the senator says.
\ city is a gloomy place and squahd degradation does crowd around
its palaces, and if we want to profit by Gods sunlight and fresh air,
and receive inspiration from a spirit of freedom, we have to get
away from the narrow streets, crowded aleyways, underground pas
sages and beehives of buildings extending far heavenward. Senator
Daniel also said:
When the people live in pigeon boxes, crowded story upon story
above them, nameless to the lookeron, without wherein to lay their
heads, except in some place that they would like to escape from, that
nation is either going to fast or is overlooking the safe. plain WAYS
of life"

AN AMUSING

An incident which happened in the New York court a short time
ago startled somewhat the Judge and the lawyers.
The following is the story;
Sadie Levine, a bright little girl of 10 years, startled Justice
Foote and a jury in the supreme court the other day by 1ecturing a
lawyer who sought to prove that she had testified falsely in behalf
of her father, Frank Levine. He is suing the New York CITY Rail-
way company for $4,000, alleging that by reason of an accident he
has lost the power Of speech. The little girl testified about an at
tack her father had suffered four weeks after he was injured. Then
Frederick Moses, counsel for the company, took her in hand.
Moses tried to get her tangled up in her testimony. When he had fin
ished, Sadie was told she could leave the stand. Before / 60, your
honor she said, standing up and looking at Justice Foote, II want to
tell this lawyer something. He acted as If everything said was a
