to work, In spite of her age We call
his to the attention OF the friends
If the poor mill girl." In spite OF
what they tell about employment In a

possible for a woman to follow the

three score years and ten; 1t is posi-

stances. and 1t Is possible that the
associations In busy, bustlipg weave

al the other unpleasant features. may
&c more endurable to a woman who
has cultivated the habit of industry
over a long period of years than the
oneliness she would feel in comfor-

take up her time and her attention as
those necessary to light hous exec ping.
The picture of industry. thrift and un-

GOVERNMENT PROFITS

Customs receipts and internal
revenue taxation furnish the bulk
of the g vernment's income, but
the government profits by snug
sum from the sources that grow out
of sovereignty, usually on the
penny saved. penny earned"
principle. For instance about
S3,000,000 of small change is alb
sorbed in the channels of trade
each year. During the periods of
great prosperity this amount has
been as high as SIS, 100000.
Buying for so cents a pound
blanks that will make ninety nicke
five cent pieces is profitable bust
ness. The gain is hardly less in
one cent pieces. The silver in the
quarter dollar would not now cost
more than 10 cents, although it
was somewhat higher when the
stock now being minted was pur-
chased.
The Treasury is the gamer from
the destruction of paper money
not redeemed. 1t also derives an
income from patents in the form
OF fees that patentees pay for the
privilege of monopoli<ing their in
ventions and thus in slight de.
gree shares their profits. Other
return of this sort might be enum-
Grated. bat the receipts growing
out of sovereignty are limited in
scope and are, after all, merely in.
direct forms of taxation. Harper

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

And after all. what does all the
fuss and hullabaloo amount to in
the long run? If the dough ty

devils who did the trick will find
yourselves working for the same
old wages and paying a constantly
increasing price for rent and
clothes and food, one years, two
years or four years from now.
1t doesn't make a cents worth
of difference to you, in reality,
whether Taft or Roosevelt is the
Chicago conventions choice. One
of them has been president nearly
eight years, the other netrly four
years; and under both administrat.
ions the cost of living constantly
increased and the wages Of the
worker did not. Think it over.

ELECTRIC SPARK taught
YOUTH PAINFUL LESSON

Yesterday afternoon while play
ing around the West Enc Mining
company dump, Tim Ford and
Clifford Brissell found two boxes of
caps. connected with wires that
are used for blasting. the. boys
both unaware of the dangers that
could arise from the explosion of
the cap. playfully connected the
wires with q dry battery. Bris-
sell had the battery in his land
and had placed the cap in charge
of the Ford hey. Not thinking
that any danger would come from
the connection of the wires to the
battery, the Brisscl boy finally
got the wires in shape and formed
a circuit. which Immediately caused
the cap to explode, knocking the
Ford boy to the ground and cutting
a deep cash in his forehead. A
doctor was called to attend the
unfortunate youth and dressed his
injuries. -Tonopah Bonanza.
