A STRONG DRAM

An old worthy who was in the
habit of calling each evening at
the village inn for a "drap O. the
best" found the landlord one night
putting a shine on the taps. After
a few remarks about the weather
he received the mighty dram.
After he had gone the land lord
discovered to his horror that he
had supplied Donald with half gill
of the bottle Of sulphuric acid
which he had been using for
cleaning the traps. Every mo-
ment he expected to hear of old
Donald's death, and his relief was
great when the old worthy arrived
next evening. Donald. what did

NORWAYS INCOME TAX

How should you like to pay an
income tax on next to nothing. If
you were Norwegian living at
home and earning $l34 year
you would be taxed on one.tenth
of it if you were unmarried; on
about o. twentieth Of 1t if you
were nIrrie1 AMI hal no children.
If you bad children you still would
be taxed on one-fiftieth Of it.
With An income of 1886 a year
You wOIll be taxed If an married
on more than half of your in come
If married and having no children
on about 40 per cent of your in
co ne, having one child on about
81 per cent. two children on labout
81 per cent.
Unnlrried and hving an in come
Of $3.50 year in Norway your
income tax payment would be
Sable; married, with one child.

rem. $355.l7. All that you would
get off your income tax (married)
for having six children would be
$50; all that you would get off by
having five more children would
be S44 and six bits!

SOME STARTLING FACTS

A very Interesting address was
given at the Presbyterian church
last night by Hon. A. r. Merritt
of Churhill county concerning his
experiences at the last session of
the state legislature and the
necessity for future reform
measures and progressive legislation
in the state. He spoke very
forcibly concerning the divorce evils
in Nevada and presented facts that
we're astounding to the audience.
He quoted AUTHORITY for his figures
in every instance.
In the course of his remarks, he
stated that during the past three
years there have been 1900
divorces granted in Reno. Only
ten of these were native Ne
vadans. There are 8S6 now
REGISTERED for divorce in the city.
He also stated on authority that
no divorce case would in the
future he handled by any attorney
for less than two hundred and fifty
dollars. Of the 1856 now registered
for divorce only 20 of the mum Der
are men. They consist mostly of
women who have married in the
wealthy families Of the east and in
many cases lead fast lives. Their
presence in Reno is damaging to
the youth of the city and injurious
to the best interests of the State
University.
Mr.. Merit drew the conclusion
that the people of Nevada shoud be
and are entitled to a better name
than they bear because of the
entire number of applicants for
divorce only comparatively few
are from our state. but that we
be come the dumping ground of the
neutrality-suspicious., whatever may be
the class of society from which they
hail, from the eastern states.

KING .GEORGE'S GOLD MINES

The approaching coronation in
London, with is medieval pomp
and the relics of the ceremonies
of by-gone ages. brings to mind an
old mining statute which is still
among the laws of the United
Kingdom. but which has not been
enforced for hundreds OF years
past.
Accordingly. there is in circulation
today 1854. 286.0OO of gold mined
in the British dominions in 1910,
to which King George is legally
empowered to lay claim. Cor
respondingly. too, he is entitled
to several billions dollars of gold
mined in British South Africa and
West Africa. Australia, India,
British Fast Indies and Guiana,
Canada, etc, in the past hundred
years or more, during which time
the crown has neglected to assert
its statutory rights.
1t seems safe to assume that
never in the future will these
statu tory rights be asserted. The
upheaval Of the British Empire
would be almost certain. The
opposition of the colonies would
be enorm us as well asiwell con-
certed, for manifest reasons; nor
would the opposition in England
itself be less pronounced. consider
ing that hundreds of millions of
dollars of coal and iron machinery,
food products and clothing are
shipped annually to British mining
colonies. and that this trade would
be deleteriously affected.
The statute is relic of
medieval ages. 1t was in those
days considered that the possession
of the sources of gold in other
hands than those OF the sovereign
would be contin3al and
threatening source Of danger tn
the king and to the safety of the
nation. Today the greatst source
of danger to any nation would lie
in concentrating in the hands of
its executive a yearly output on
gold as colossal as is that of the
British dominions. amounting
indeed. in 1910 to So per cent OF
the gold output of the entire
world Chicago Mining World.

The community was greatly saddened

Charles w. Christie was one af the victims
OF the railroad accident at Bridgeport,
Conn, early Tuesday morning while on
his way home. He was employed as coach
man for j. L. Ketterlinus, OF Philadelphia,
and was to remain here while the family
was on trip to Europe. His brother John,
who is employed at Bar Harbor fer the
summer, accompanied by his brother-in-
law, Fred Davis, went on to identity the
body and returned with it Saturday morn
ing.
Charlie, as he was always called, was
a genial, good-nstured boy, OF good
habits, full of life and merriment, and a
fsvorite with old and young. His un-
timely death has caused sadness in the
hearts OF all who knew him. sympathy is
felt for the family, which consists of q
mother-M Mrs. Isabel Austin; two sisters
Mrs. Fred Davis and Mrs. Walter Murray,
and two brothers-John and George.
Funeral services we're held at the
Austin home at 1.30 Saturday, Rev. w. H..
Rice officiating. A remarkable coincidence
was the fact that it was the anniversary OF
his fathers funeral, one year ago. The
