Anyway a man never tells how a girl
proposed to him.
If a man understands one woman he
should let 1t go at that.
And no man appreciates advice like

When poverty crawls in at the slxylight
love hides in the cellar.
No man is a coward in his own estina-
ton. He calls 1t nervousness.
One cant always believe a woman
when she is talking about her husband.
No, Cordelia, the population of Cork

If a girl doesn't knew how to flirt IT,
because her beauty isn't skin deep.
Why is it that the long hairs a brunette
wife finds on her husbands coat are m
variably blonde?
If a young man twists up his 1nustache
just before bidding a girl good night, il
isn't likely she'll be disappointed
If a woman cries after quarrelinr x-ft,,

something mean she might have said but

"A thousand creeds and battle-cries,
A thousand warning sociai-schemes,
thousand new moralities.
And twenty thousand thousand dreams;
Each on his own archie way
From the old order breaking free
Our ruined world DESIRES you say.
Ldcense, once more, not Liberty
But oh, beneath the wind-whipt foam
When storm and change are on the
deep,
How quietly the tides come home.
And how the depths of sea-shine sleep.
And we that march towards a goal,
Destroying. only to fulfill
The law. the law of that great soul
Which moves beneath your alien will,
We that like foemen meet the past
Because We bring the future, know
We only fight to achieve at last
great reunion with our foe;
Reunion in the truths that stand
When all our wars are rolled away,
Reunion of the heart and hand
And OF the prayers wherewith we pray;
Reunion in the common needs,
The common strivings of mankind;
Reunion of our warning creeds
In the one God that dwells behind.
Then-in that day-we shall not meet
Wrong with new wrong, but right with
right;
Our faith shall make your faith complete
When our battaIi0ns reunite.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.


The ratification of the income tax
amendment by the New Y York state leg
islature and it's definite rejection by
the legislature of Connecticut marks
one more stage in the progress of that
proposed constitutional change 1t was
never expected that Connecticut would
approve it and New York ordinarily
would have been equally hostile. The
noIiticaI landslide of last November,
which gave the Democrats complete
control in New York, gave the amend
ment its chance there and, supported
by the very insistent urging of the gov
ernor of the state, it was finally adopt
ed.
This makes 81 states whose legisla-
lures have declared for the amendment.
and only four more are wanting TO IN
corporate il in the constitution, pro-
yiding that all the present Endorsements
are held to be valid. One Endorsement
that of Arkansas-has an executive
veto against it and in Kentucky the
over-zealous legislature declared Tor
the amendment before 1t had been re-
ceived in that state and submitted TO
the legislature for ratification. 1t may
therefore, have to receive more for-
NAL ratification to hold good.
For the present the progress OF the
amendment is stayed by the failure OF
the requisite number OF states to faslry

besought the governor to offer a small
reward for the capture of the criminal.
But the governor couldn't do it, be-
cause his contingent fund was shy.

time, paying one ZumWSlt a salary
OF $25 per week to frisk around the
