I've heard that sometimes rings brought bad luck"
CHAPTER VII.

When Harry and Lucy stroIled into the den. just after Daphne had sue ceetcd in getting into the room with Mrs. Blazes. they were. followed by MT. Medders. MT. Medders was find. ing many things to interest him in Harry's home. This was the first time he had ever been where he might anime pictures. books and bric-a-brao many of which were of kind that were not popular in his own environ ment
 "Oh. Harry" Lucy said ."this is just the most delightful visit!"
 I'm doing everything I can to make 1t pleasant fer you, and hope nothing happens to spoil it," Harry said.
 Medders, moving about the den. stopped at the door of the library.
 What Is in there, my boy?" he asked. T haven't been in that room yet"
 "There?" Harry repeated. nervously. "Oh, that's just a junk room."
 Thee means bunk room," Lucy corrected him. mischievously. %
 Yes" Harry said. Its 6 junk bunk room"
 "Varily." said MT. Medders. "a junk bunk room must be interesting"
 And before Harry could stop him he had opened the door and started in. only to step back and say:
 Why, there is some one in here"
 "Is there?" Harry asked. affecting surprise. hastily trying to think how big the headlines would be in the papers the next day.
 Why, who can 1t be7" Lucy-asked.
 Harry, feeling that all was lost, still racked his brain for some halfway reasonable explanation of the pres ence. as he thought, of Daphne as well as the Count, in his library.
 Why, you see." he began. they they are"
 'They?" Medders said. "Thero is only one man in here"
 Harry was lost for language and bereft of thought when the Count stalked majestically from the door. No one else could be seen in the library Harry looked swiftly through the doorway into every corner of that room, asking himself: Where the dickens has she gone?"
 She was no longer there, that much was certain. And he turned to see the Count lowing stif1y to MT. Med ders and Lucy. The Count held book in his hand, and as his head rose from one of his deep bows he winked earnestly at Harry-a helpful. friendly wink, which was as though 1t said for him not to worry, that the Count would back him up in any story he told.
 q beg your pardon" Harry rallied. 'I had quite forgotten the Count. Miss Medders, MT Medders. this Is the Count von F1tz.
 The Count bowed beautifully, Lucy her father shook the Counts hand and still everything was not explained.
 And is the gentleman thy instruc. tor, perhaps?" Medders asked. noting the book the Count held. and associat. Ing 1t with the fact that the Count had been in the library.
 Harry fairly bubbled with joy at his helpful suggestion, all uncon' ,ciously given by Medders.
 Yes" he said. he is my German tutor"

Society and ReIIalon.

Evidently it Is not of real and given society that we are speaking when we explain by the action of society the religious attributes of the human soul. It is of ideal society, of society in so far as it strives after that. that jus tice, that happiness, that truth, that superior harmony, of which religion is the expression."-E Boutroux

slight modification of the Bradham- Hurst Bill. It was also introduced in the house and was known as the Simms- Thweat Bill
 Believing the bill was for the present purpose, at least, of meeting an emer- gency the house passed it with the emer- gency clause attached, but the senate refused to pass it with the emer- gency clause, preferring that it be left ,open for referendum and the house accepted it, hence no relief can come from this measure, such as is eX- pected by those who frvor it, until it is voted upon and adopted by the people at the general election in 1912.
 As a member of the house sought by all fair means in my power to have the the bill so amended that the members of the board of supervisors of assessment, created by the bill, should not all be of the same political party. The fight, gallant as I knew how to make it, was lost. Only the five republican members and three democrats voted for the amendment But perhaps the effort was not fruitless. Fer the first time in twelve years a republican was appoint ed on the equalization board in many of the counties. It is pointed out by the tax commissioners themselves that in Crawford county, alone, where one of the members of the board was repub- lican, the raise in assessments made by the board amounted to over S700, 900. The Turner-Ja acobson Bill is now the football of the politician and it's fate is problematical.

TIE TURNER-JACO8SoM BILL
By A. J. Russell

''The subjects of every state ought to contribute toward the support of the government as nearly as possible Tn proportion to their respective abilities, that is in proportion to the revenue they respectively enjoy under the pro- lection of the state " said Adam Smith, nearly two hundred years ago, who IS recognized to this day as one of the worlds greatest political economists.
 This great Scotchman illustrated the question of taxation by saying that the expense of government to che 1ndlvld- uais of a great nation is like the eX- pense of management to the joint ten ants of great estate, who are all obliged to contribute in proportion to their respective interests ln the estate,
 A Writet on the question of Tax Dodging" in c recent issue ot the Sat urday Evening Post says that an ln- vestigation of the Department of Con- meree and Labor reveals the fact that q high tax rate is almost invariably ac eompanied by low assessed valuation, and low tax rate by high valuation. Thus 6 5000 realty valuation at one and one-half per centin one community produces the same revenue that S500 a0eS III etllOCL4GI et Q i'St SSlC te'-% AeAUC' lie continues by saying that the most extraordinary thing is that most peo- pie seem more happy under the second condition than they do under the first, when it is obvious to anybody that to cut the valuation in two and double the tax rate makes the one community look as though it were only half as rich and twice as eXtravagant as the other. An other words, high rate and low valuation advertises the community III an unfavorable light at both ends of the proposition.
 This writer might have added that the preference shown che high rate, which is the natural consequence of . low valuation, is traceable to the tax uodger The low valuation, or no valu- tion, is what he wants and hence he will be up in arms against any move ment toward placing his property or the tax books at anything like what 1t IS worth. Of course, he does not come cut and say so in so many words. hlS usual tactics are to indirectly enlist the attention of the '.poor man" and have

So many of the ills of women are due to habitual constipation, probably because of their false modesty on the subject, that their attention cannot be too strongly called to the importance of keeping the bowels open. It is always important to do that, regard less of the sex, but it is especially important in women.
 From the time the girl begins to menstruate until mentsruation ceases she has always vastly better prospects of coming through healthy if she watches her bowel movements. If you find yourself constipated, with bad breath, pinply complexion, headaches, belching gas and other symptoms of indigestion and constipation, take small dose of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup
