Busted But Happy.

On last Friday morning there
arrived in this city from Virginia
a couple bent on uniting their
lives, and as soon as the covered
wagon reached the camp lot the
couple found Captain Sam Pace
who makes a business OF helping
people to get married. The cou-
pie were Ed Wright and Miss
Laura Bishop and by evening
the necessary license had been Sc
cured and the ceremony pertoc.
med.
1t was a RUNAWAY couple and
the bri 'e was not attirel as her
husband desired so he proceeded
to blow himself to secure picture
hats and those little things that
appeal to the feminine heart but
he did not reckon with the price
of these necessary articles for
when he went to settle Saturday
morning he was shy Is cents and
his breakfast. He ewentaway hun.
cry, busted and happy for he had
secured a bride who looked doub
Iy sweet in the toga that cost
him his very last penny.-Mt. Al.

A Good Idea For Those Not Rich.

Progressive Farmer.
One OF the most feasible and
practical methods used in the
education Of the familywas prac,
ticed by a farmer OF myaclnaint-
ance. Having determined from
the birth OF the first son into the
home that this boy and succeed.
ing children should be sent to
college. the husband and wife
found ways Of laying 10y a little
at a time for the education fund.
In the course OF years eight boys
aud girls appeared in this home
and the problem 81 q college
training for all OF them began to
lie a question. When the eldest
was old enough for college there
was a fund sufficient for him, SO
he was sent to college with the
understanding that the money
he used while al college was a
loan only, and that as rapidly
possible at the completion OF his
completion OF his college course
it must be repaid with interest,
to educate the second child. 1t
is a wonderful record that OF
these children not one has fail
ed of this trust, and each boy
or girl in turn has regarded the
loan as a religious obligation
and with all possible earnes tness
has turned it back into the house
hold treasury to be used over
and over again. Just now the
last of the eight children, a daugh
ter is IN her senior year at the
State normal college, and the
father told me notlong gsince that
with the graduation OF the daugh
ter that each member OF the fam.
lily would have had a four years
college course and that the ori.
ginal capital had been rapid rs
an emergency fund for the father
and mother.

porary, the New York Sun, ex-
claims: The taxing power should
never be used for punitive, regu.
lative or ulterior purposes. 1t
should lie confined entirely to the
legitimate raising of revenue.
This is absolutely true, 1t lays
down a doctrine which is axiom
anic. And yet the party to which
our esteemed contemporary has
adhered for many years has used
the taxing power mainly for pu-
nitive, reaulative and ulterior
purposes. The raising of revenue
has been only incidental to the
main purpose OF fos tering cer-
t a in industries and enriching
some citizens. Indeed the title of
the tax bill enacted in 1897,
known as the Mckinley bill, was
"a Bill to reduce revenue. That
was the bill which Was supposed
to impose taxation for the sup.
port OF the government. The
method for reducing revenue was
to put the tax upon certain i'm
ports ut so high a figure as to
prohibit Importation. and the
avowed purpose was to remove
foreign competition from certain
favored manufacturers.
"The adoption OF this amend.
ment' our New York namesake
continues, "will placein the hand
Of Congress an instrument espec-
tally adapted to sinister and op.
pressive use." Could be more
completely adapted to sinister
and oppressive use than the pow
er to levy import taxes? Has
not that power@lsen employed
for purpose of oppression ever
since the Republican party allied
itself with the protected indus
tries? Would not the power to
tax incomes the better enable
Congress to dispense with the op
pressive use of the tariff?

Ancient Cities in Arizona.
North Avnaricau

North American.
Members of the geological sur
vey have discovered tho sites of
several ancient cities in the San
Juan region OF Arizona, which
probably have been deserted since
long before the Christian era.
The remains belong to what is
known as the stone age, which
was long before metals we're u.s.
ed in the construction OF weap-
ons for war or utensils for do
nestle purposes. Many stone AK.
es and mails were found, bnt iron
was evidently unknown to t h Q
dwellers OF these ancient cities of
the west. The houses are pecu-
liar. The apartments were dug
down into the rocks, and the on
ly entrance was from the top.
These cities were intended as pla.
ces OF refuge in time of the war.
There ARE many antiquities OF
this kind in Arizona, New Mexi-
co and still further to the south
west. The great antiquity is
shown by the fact that the geol-
ogy OF these regions have great
ly changed since cities were habi-
table. There is no trace OF water
in many of the places, which for
merly must have been densely
populated; when, OF course, that
liquid must have been q prime
necessity and easily procurabIp.
Young Americans who think of
travelling to Ninevah, Babylon,
Egypt and other Eastern coun.
tries filled with ruins OF ancient
empires, would do well to look
for remains equally remarkable
in their own country.

amend the act to accord with the
view taken today. The construc-
ton, moreover, was approved 10y
the country, except by the ex-
treme corporate interests.
The opinion OF the maJorltyto-
day, az to the construction of the
act, is pure judicial legislation
for which the trusts have been
conteuding foi fifteen years and
which will be used by them to
further their combinations and
conspiracies against trade. Here
after the question will always be
confused with the supposed in.
tent of the conspirators in these
exploitations, rather than con-
fined to the single issue OF the ac-
tual existence or combination or
monopoly. The classification OF
good trusts aud bad trusts had
at last received the highest judi
cial sanction.
Against this | agree absolutely
and thoroughly with the dissen-
ting opinion of Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian, and if the opinion OF the
chief justice IS adhered to in this
and in the tobacco case (as | pre-
sume it will be,) the law ought
to be amended at once, so as to
express hey ond judicial interpre-
tatinn that view ol the law Shich
has heret toforeobtaineda andwhich
has met theapproyal and require
ments of thwcountry.
