Roosayelt's Efacement.

From the Rochester Herald.
 Some men are accustomed to speak of MT. Roosevelt s departure from this country into Africa as singularly pat. riotic sacrifice. They think of the ec- static joy that filled his soul while he was the idol of millions of innocent, confiding felow-citizens. They behold him putting all this aside to become a voluntary exile in q presidential wilder ness, with no true happiness to look forward to save that of spectacular homecoming amid the welcoming plaud- it's of an impatient people. They think of him as doing all of. this for bis country's good, not his own. We'll, we prefer to think of him as now filling the real mission of his life, deploying upon the savage African beasts his var jed array of physical energies, winning every day fresh laurels--and real ones --as the mightiest hunter of Western civilization, only to the end to lay all these at the feet of Science. When we think of him in this close communion with the life that is primitive and gen

Income Tax Improbable

From the Hartford Courant.
 The abstract argument of an income tax is undoubtedly strong one, es pecially with the citizens who haven t incomes of taxable size. In the twelve month that ended March 3l. this year, the tax on incomes in the United King dom gave the excheequer revenue (from that source alone) of $l65, l03,- 900. Mir Bailey thinks that the tax he proposes Ia tax on incomes in excess of $5,000) would yield about $so,0c0,- 900 year to the government. This would certainly make it possible to tighten the tariff and lenghten the free list materially.
 But in the United States the income tax has unpleasant associations. The folder citizens remember it as war tax, and they remember the deceit and out and-out lying it gave rise to. The Su preme court has vetoed one attempt to revive it. The attempts will continue, no doubt; the democratic party is com. mitted to them, and it is rash man who says that they will always be fore doomed to failure. However, as far as the Sixty first congress is concerned, we think the citizen with an income of more than $5,000 may be quite easy in his mind, Mir. Aldrich--like the Star Spangled bapner---s still there.

Reflections of e Bachelor Girl
By Maude Marie

To a woman love is the bread of life; to man, just the jam on the bread.
 Somehow, the moment man has surren- dered the key of his heart to woman he be- gins to think about changing the lock.
 Flattery is the counterfeit coin in which most men expect to pay for real kisses.
 Don't try to kill mans love by starving it out; overfeed it and it will soon die of in- digestion.
 Why does woman spend tw0hours curl ing her hair and decorating herself with baby ribbons, just to see man in order to tell him that they can never be anything but "platonic friendsi'
 The man who pretends to laugh at love and to scorn women is like the small boy who whistles in the dark-because he is afraid.
 It is difficult to tell which most embarras- ses man, his first tete-a-tete with woman he is just beginning to love or his last tete- a-tete with the woman he has ceased loving.
 If man could stick to his wife as he does to his favorite brand of tobacco, divorce would soon become obsolete.
 When two people begin to analyze their emotions they vivisect their love.
 A man begins by looking around for wo- man who can stand on a pedestal-and ends by marrying the woman who shatters the pedestal and stands alone.
 Why is it that when a man has done any thing particularly inhuman he always re- marks, "Oh, well, I'm only human"
 A mans heart is hardened by the water of woman's tears, but softened by the sun of her smile.
 The most delightful part of kiss is the moment just before taking.

RESPECT THE BABIES

Chicago, Springfield, Kankakee and other Illinois cities will doubtless soon become points of attraction for young married couples. The Illinois legislature has passed and the governor declares he intends to sign bill declaring void apartment leases which prohibit children in apartment houses.
 Just why legislation of this character has been so long delayed, nobody seems able to ex- plain The weight of opinion has all been against the heartless landlords who have prac- ticed unjust discrimination in favor of those who lean to race suicide.
 Nor will there be great sympathy for the grouchy individual who encourages the land lord by seeking to immure himself against in nocent children; who refuses to locate in a neighborhood where these do most abound; who is irritated by the noises of the young hopefuls at play, and fully exasperated by the sounds that emerge from the infant that is yet too young to play The man who cannot endure the proximity of children-and the woman, also, for there are quite as many of these-deserves to become Robinson Crusoe.

Press Comment
Taft Always On Time.

From the Pittsburg Post.
 During his stay in Pittsburg, the pres ident set an example for pinctuality that is impressive. MT. Taft was shunt- ed about from pillar to post with sur. .prising celerity, but throughout try ing and perplexing schedule of events, he was at no time tardy at any point. This may seem like little thing, but it is nevertheless plain that dallying hy the wayside would have seriously deranged the plans his hosts had pre- pared for him. It is not everybody who appreciates the value of punctuality. But it is safe to say that none is more appreciatiee of it than the person who waits an indefinite time for the person who is invariably tardy. And the re- liability of the person who ss always on time is thing of joy forever.

ABUSE OF THE FLAG

In the course of the riot in the street car strike in Philadelphia woman planted an American flag in front of street car and, while crowd shouted approval, dared strike-break- CT to remove it or run car over 1t.
 If there was ever an occasion when the flag was out of place, that was the time. It was used as an emblem of disorder and of defiance of the law. The flag stands for equal rights for all and special privileges for none. It stands for the idea that every man shall have the right to work and earn his bread, and that he shall be safe from harm while doing it. It stands for everything which the rioters opposed in their assaults on property and on men who had talk en their places.

The nest was made of twigs of wood and clay, and the materials filled twenty-four sacks. The walls of the nest were found to contain seven teen ladies black stockings, five fur caps. the sleeve of white silk blouse, three old shoes, a large piece of leather and four buttons that had belonged to railway porter's uniform.
