Young man." inquired her father,
sternly, will you give her home like
the one she has been used tor
No. replied the truthful sutton,
"for there will befno grumpy father to
come home and make everyone mis-
cradle by his kicking over trif1es and
swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants to be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half of his work, and
no little brother to make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head
aches. There won't be any younger
sister to insist on reading some trashy
novel while she does all the work.
She will not have with me home like
she has been used to, not if I can help
it."-Pucka

In our tour of the country when
the Japanese commissioners were

ROOTS THAT NEEDED SOAKING
Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in
His Application for
Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro-
hibition law, apothecaries alone being
permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day a son of the Emerald
Isle entered a drug store there, and,
taking a bottle from his pocket, asked
for quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use it was to be put,
and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it.
The order was filled, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and it's
contents, inquired, in conversational
manner:
What kind of roots are you going
to soak?"
Pocketing the bottle, the customer
said:
THE roots of my tongue, be jabers!

men only Franklin and Otis wished to have
representation In the British parliament. The
others considered that their own assemblies
should be the Legislative bodies entirely and
that II any taxes were to be imposed they
should be collected only with the consent Of
the colonial assemblies.
The question OF taxation, however, did not
enter into any controversies, for il was not
until tho middle OF the eighteenth century that
Great Britain exhausted by many wars and
seeking TO replenlsh the national treasury,
sought extraordinary means for raising reve-
nue and her ministers proposed that the col
onles. which had been growing In wealth and
importance, should be made to contribute to
the impoverished exchequer. The French and
Indian war had shown the power Of the col
onles and their force and had given a very
definite idea of their growing wealth and i'm.
portance.
Having reached the decision to tax the col
onies, the ministry did not spend any time In
preliminaries 1t was decided that parliament
had the right to levy the taxes and the fact
that the colonies had no representation In that
body was not taken into account Such mat.
ter would ordinarily have been considered

England had In effect been constitutional
monarchy since the signing OF the Magma
Charta in 1915 and in taxing the colonies not
represented In the common council of the
kingdom she had violated one OF the Oldest Of
the rights which every Briton claims.
Such was the situation in 1854. when the
struggle began which IL years later brought
forth the Declaration Of Independence, and the
next year brought into being the first congress
OF the American colonies. which decided that
