Had His Eye On the Boat.

Alexander Carr has a reputation as
a wit and story teller only equaled by
his reputation as an actor. His latest
story was told the other night and
runs as follows:
Two Hebraic gentlemen, friends OF
long standing, went to the lake and
each hired a rowboat for a trial OF
skill and strength. In the middle OF
the lake one tipped over his boat and
sank from sight. Coming to the sur
face close to the bow of the other
boat he shouted:
''Ikey, 1key, save me. ! can't swim!"
Carefully holding the boat a few
feet away from his drowning friend,
the other looked on unmoved.
Again the unfortunate one sank be-
low the surface, and as he came up
for the second time repeated his cries
for help. u
A third time he came up, and then,
as he started to disappear from sight
for the third and last time, his friend
shouted: G4. ss4. 81
"Abie, II you don't come up again
can have your boat?"

TAKING Bache1ors.

One Of the smallest Of the German
princtpalities is undertaking very
big experiment in financial legislation.
The diet of the elder of the two prin-
cipalities Of Reuss, which lie In can-
trail Germany, to the southeast OF the
Thuringian states, carried recently q
resolution in favor Of increasing the
state income tax by s per cent. of the
tax on incomes between ESQ and
s3OO, and by 10 per cent. OF the tax
on incomes exceeding e3o0 year In
the case of unmarried persons OF eth
er sex who have reached their ;th1r-
-tieth year. The diet consists OF twelve
members, and the resolution was car
ried by seven votes against five. The
,super.taxatlop Of bachelors has often
been proposed in other German. states.
and was 5jocularly referred to as pos
sible form OF imperial taxation by the
Emperor William. 80; ..s- ss3

the western ocean. Tradition, most
inflexible OF all rules, governs them,
and they never alter, whetherfthe ship
clears from the Golden Gate or from
London Docks. Some of the nick
names are of obvious origin; others
seem to gain force by their apparent
