This Evenings Short Story

an excellent refutation of these mems
assertion. Ten to one IL a man had re-
ceived such missiye he would never
have suspected that the star had any
meaning whatever: would have thrown
"the thing" into the wastebasket and
left the sender to find out whether or
no there was hope for her by asking
him point blank.
Pardon this depression. Della Thorpe
knew in her heart that there was
great deal Of hope for Henry Robbins,
and she deemed it her duty-it was
certainly her pleasure-to inform him
OF the fact. So she detached the star
put it in a little envelope, such as is
used for sending cards, aud slipped it
in a letter box.
"Tim,' said Henry Thorpe on the
morning OF the 18th OF February to
an Office boy. "There is some mistake
here. You were sending valentines the
other day. Do you know anything
about this1"
ITS a star that was on one Of tae
valentines l sent"
Henry had been very busy with the
mail on the .>f3th. Tim Butler had
that day been addressing valentines
on Henry's desk Henry had written
Della Thorp an invitation to go to the
skating rink with him on the evening
of the 18th, and It was evident that
Tins girl had been invited 10 the rink
while Henry's girl had been sent the
star of hope valentine.
The practical part Of all this Henry
reasoned out very readily. But as to
deducing what the star meant he was
as stupid as an owl. There was moth
ing for him to do but explain the
matter to Della. He did so In a note
stating that valentine belonging to
an office boy had got into an envelope
intended to contain an invitation to
go with him to the skating rink, add
ing an apology for having sent the
valentine. He would call at 8 O'Clock
to take her to the rink.
Such brutal treatment, though unin-
territorial naturally had its effect upon
Della. She received him very coolly
when he called and declined to go out.
He sat down with her and tried to
find out what was the matter. but he
was not up to the work. To reason
out the problem as Della had reasoned
out the star Of hope matter was an
impOssibility with him. Supposine
that Della was miffed at his sending
her a valentine. he apologized for do
ing so. declaring that man Of his age
who would send a girl a paper made
star should be relegated to the nurs
cry. This didn't improve matters
Delia's eyes flashed; then tears stood
. in them. And yet Henry was no
aware that every moment he wal
stabbing her right in the heart.
/ do little girl" he exclaimed, ID
, tell me what it is"
} Il can't" she moaned.
{ do, please"'
"I thought you sent the star Of hop
! to learn something from me. I've re
: turned It to you"
= A glimmer struggled inside Henry
< thick skull. He took her in his arml

Spare the MiddIemen.

New York World.
Those who have reached the conclu-
sion that the middlemen are responsible
for the high cost of living have placed
the blame on multitudinous shoulders.
In a highly organized society middle
men are numerous and they play an
important part. They minister prodigi-
ousiy to the comfort, convenience and
luxury of the people.
To indict the middle men for high
sprices is to say that we should return
to the days of barter, when the farm
produced most of the things which its
occupants ate. used and wore, and
when If a man wanted anything done
he did it himself. If we were to do
away with middlemen we should pres
emily hear complaints Of distress and
destitution in comparison with which
the present agitation would be remem-
bered only as murmur of protest.

Tallahassee, Jan. 19-In response
to a request for the expression of his
opinion as to the advisability of rati-
f1cation by the states of the union of
the proposed amendment to the
United States constitution authorizing
congress to impose federal income
tax, Governor Gilchrist recently wired
the New York Times as follows:
THE proposed constitutional amend
ment provides that congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes from whatever source deriv-
ed Congress could, therefore, tax
incomes derived from state and
municipal bonds, and could exempt
incomes so derived. Senators and con-
gressmen being necessarily residents
of states and generally of municiapli-
ties, would not pass law which would
destroy, through taxation, the credit
OF their own state and Of their NUM-
clpalities. Senators and congressman
understand the law of self-preserva-
tion as applied to themselves. They
wish to be reelected. | favor the in
