ga boy seven years old came up into a
gentleman's chamber and prattled to
him and drew his sword and fiourished

wondered to see the boy toss his blade
so and said: so. good boy, thou hast

The Rarbarous Suitea.

Suffice, or the practice of immolat-
ing widows on their husbands funeral
pyres in India. was first attacked by
the British government in 1929. 1t
was on Dec. 4 of that year that Lord
William Bentinck carried a resolution
in council by which all who abetted
suttee were declared guilty of "culpa
bic homicide In the year 1917 700
widows were burned alive in Bengal
alone, but since the passing Of the act
the practice has entirely died out
Suffice was really a primitive rite, a
survival from barbarous times, and
not sanctioned by HindOoism, the pas
sage in the Vedas supporting it being
a wilTful mistransIation. But no pre-
vious governor had the courage to vio-
late the British tradition of religious
toleration Lord William Bentinck
also suppressed thuggism. which made

a CHARMING SUIT IN BLUE AND WHITE
SILK.
Paris is favoring blue in all shades
this summer. Never has there been
such a year for this color. and there
seems to be no tone of blue that is not
worn. Periwinkle is immensely popu-
lar, canard and sea blues are much
used. but it is the brilliant blue. Of
which radium is perhaps the latest
and most vivid example. that is the
prominently smart shade Of the Pa
risian moment Though SO vivid. it
is not crude. but none the less it is
trying to many compilations and. like
all brilliant blues, will be still more
unbecoming as the season advances
and our compilations feel the effect Of
wind and sun. These blues are usual
~ toned down by black.
The suit Illustrated is of a vivid blue
in radium silk. and the upper part Of
the skirt is of striped silk in blue and
black effect. The coat, revers are ex-
tremely odd and only becoming to a
slight figure.

CD You are quite right. The In
ternal Revenue Tax was first imposed
by Alexander Hamilton, for just the
reason which you designate. You will
remember that the farmers of Penn
sylvania rose in arms and rebelled
against the tax, and it required all
the authority of George Washington
and the Governors of Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania to stamp
out the instruction. You will also
remember that Mr. Jefferson claimed
credit, as one of the triumphs of his
administration, that he repealed that
Internal law.

Answer.
CD Being a Jeffersonian Demo-
crat from my head to my heels, I be-
lieve that the Internal Revenue
Taxes on whiskey and tobacco are
simply Internal. The one fosters the
whiskey trust and the other, the to-
bacco trust. There is nothing more
discreditable in the way of govern
mental abuse of power than the raid
ing of a whiskey still in the noun
tain districts of Georgia, Kentucky,
the Carolinas and Virginia by the
heavily armed deputy marshals of the
Federal Courts. The breaking up of
these stills, the shooting down of the
mountain men who own them, the
confiscation of the property, the sale
of it in Atlanta, Richmond Or Louis
vile, is disgraceful in the extreme.
The deputy marshals, unknowingly,
are the instruments of the whiskey
trust, who dread the competition of
the mountain men. Those mountain
GERS have no money crop whatever:
it is impossible for them to have one.
Their narrow little valleys are ca
pable only of producing crop of
corn, or other grain, and a few ap-
pies. To sell this in competition with
the boundless and fruitful prairies
of the West, is simply impossible. By
distilling the grain into pure whiskey,
they can earn a few dollars needed
for the supplying of their households
with the ordinary necessaries of life.
AS long as the human race consumes
whiskey, Git always has, and it al
ways will) we might as we'll have
pure liquors instead of the adulter-
ated stuff handed out by the whiskey
trust. Consequently, these mountain
men, as things go, would do no harm
to the country were they allowed to
make and sell their stuff where it is
