TAXING THE PEOPLE.
Making Them Pay to Circulate Hfver-
tisements Through Magazines.


THE modern American cheap maya
zine is the direct product OF the
offer of the United States to trans
port advertising matter in that form
at cent a pound. The 1-cent rate
! never was made to encourage the cir
culation of that kind of literature, FOR
it did not exist when that rate was
made. M H. DesYoung, proprietor
of the Sanfrancisco Chronicle.
This puts the matter in nutshell.
The publishers OF cheap magazines
and miscellaneous periodicals which
thanks to the government SUBSIDY
are now numbered by thousands, are
trying to confuse the issue by max

clearly suggested the necessity OF
Redistribution when he wrote that
he doubts the wisdom OF policy

Along about the middle Of last Sep
TENDER fine Jersey cow belonging to
John S. Gilless, who owns a farm Just
outside of Rockville, became i'll. She
began coughing. and later showed
symptoms of tuberculosis.
Ae least the neighbors, many Of
whom had lost cows through that
malady. all said tuberculosis was what
was the matter with the Giiliss COW.
The Gillisses did not know positive
ly that tuberculosis was what allied
their favorite mich COW, but they
too kno chances. They segregated
her. stopped using her milk. and be-
slowed every attention upon her. But
the COW grew worse.
Finally she became so Feeble about
three weeks ago that she could not
stand. The veterinarian who was
called in diagnosed her ailment as
pneumonia. Her cough increased, and
the Giilisses decided that the humane
thing TO do was to kill her and end
her misery. So she was duly execut-
ed, and a negro farm hand was set
10 work to skin her.
Live Scorpion Found.
When he had removed the hide the
negro noticed hole in the skin next
to the hide on the cows side. His
curiosity was at once aroused, and he
traced the hole through the intestines
and stomach of the COW. Following
its course, he came to the cows milk
bag. There was found a scorpion,
five inches long, alive and apparently
in the best of health.
Mr.. Gilliss believed the COW swal-
lowed the scorpion some time in Au-
gust or September. A drought pre-
vailed in the Rockville section at that
time and the small stream in Mr..
Gilliss' pasture ran dry. The COW
went to a spring to quench her thirst.
Scorpions Of the kind swallowed by
the Gilliss COW are common through
out this section. They are always to
be found living in springs, for which
reason the country folk call them
spring keepers" That the COW
drank up the scorpion along with CO.
pious drsughts from the spring is
Mr.. Gilliss theory.
A thorough examination of the
cows carcass showed an absence OF
tuberculosis, but it is thought she de-
veloped pneumonia as result of her
suffering from the scorpions ravage
in her interior.
The reptile evidently worked his
way out of her stomach as far as
her hide. Unable to penetrate this

There are sometimes crimes in regard

heart of nature broods.
She tripped beside me all the way by
flower haunted riils;
A laughing, weeping. hooking fay.
She pelted me with blossoms gay,
And hummed tuneful roundelay.

clouds were on the hills.

And my timid heart grew holder.

While her laughter shook the trees.
