a Suaar-Coatefi PHI.

The democratic house of representa-
tives. 1t will be recalled. passed bill
placing sugar on the free list. It was
estimated this would reduce the price
approximately cents pound. Another
bill was passed placing slight tax on
incomes in excess Of 5000. This would
have meant. 10 few words, transfer Of
small portion Of the burden of taxation
from the breakfast table 10 wealth. The
corporation-contvoliesi senate has objected
to this program and both bills died with
the session.
The democratic program of substitute
ing tax on wealth for the tax on sugar
was class legislation. the standpatters
and protectionists cried out in chorus.
They were never heard to complain,
however. of the existing class legislation
which permits the burden Of federal tax
alton to fall entirely upon the shoulders
of the masses taxing the average man,
woman and child on every stitch Of
clothing they wear aud everything else
they must have in order to live, while
permitting fortunes to go untaxed.
The masses of the people produce the
wealth, and by legislative advantage few
get possession of it. and now those few
object, and have prevented the transfer
TO wealth of even the small amount Of
taxation derived from the tariff on sugar.

Towns Without Taxes.

It was recently reported from Ger

within the empire in which there were
no taxes. The town possessed bene-

France never likes to be-eutdone by
anything German, SO Paris contem-

OLD HERMIT is Ill

Schooley changed so that the young
sters who saw MIN come to town once
year to pay his taxes knew him as
"the wild man Of Borneo."
The old farmhouse, built in colonial
days, fell into decay under his neglect.
Dust that has been years in collecting
covers everything. Judging from ap-
pearances, Asa Schooley never moved
the furnishings following his broth
years on the same feathered bed.
When the ticking wore away, he did
not change it for one Of nearly a dozen
mattresses in good condition found
stored in an upper room. Nor did he
change the bed coverings, although
mahogany chests and bureaus were
found to be packed full of fine bed
linens, quilts and spreads
For illumination at night the old
man went back to tallow dips, which
he made for himself in an antique
mold. He is believed by neighbors to
have subsisted almost entirely upon
honey from his big colony of bees,
fruit and what poultry and the few
vegetables he could raise ON his farm.
How he managed to exist through Sc
we're winters they cannot understand.
The bees alone of the creatures on
the farm show signs of care and the
hives apparently contain several hun
dred pounds of honey.
Thus the old mans illness was I'M
known to neighbors until woman
walking along the road heard sobs and
groans and found Schooley lying IN
field.
Schooley is said to have niece re-
siding in a nearby town and one or
two distant relatives, WHOM attorneys
are trying to ind.

Last of SchooIeys Found Near
Death on Farm.
Aged Man Is Last Member of an Old
Family in New Jersey-Has Lived
Alone Since Death of His
Brother.

New Lisbon, N. jim the tumble
down farmhouse where Asa Schooley,
an aged farmer and a descendant OF
lilies, lived for years as hermit amid
surroundings that seemed to indicate
direct poverty, a commissioner APP
pointed by the court has unearthed a
small fortune In old coins, antique
plate and chinaware. That consider
able money is hidden about the old
home is the belief of neighbors, who
made a good income from their farm
nd to their knowledge for years spent
not a cent outside the taxes.
Asa Schooley was found nearly dead
In field on his farm recently, when
after days of suffering without medi-
cal attendance he was dragging him
self toward the public highway to
seek aid. He is now ward Of the
county in 'the asylum at New Lisbon,
and the county court has ordered that
his estate be converted into cash.
Since his brother Joseph died many
years ago Asa Schooley has been the
sole occupant of the homestead farm,
about three miles from Burlington, on
the Columbus road. The brother was
missing for several days before neigh
bors learned from Asa that he was
dead. Then Asa Schooley tried to pre-
vent the men from committing the
body to a grave.
II fear the living more than the
dead" he shouted as they lifted the
corpse from the bed where Joseph
had died. He can do me no harm, but
others who are living can and Will.
Following his brothers death Asa
Schooley shut himself away from the
world, and some glimpses of how this
man, apparently driven mad by bitter
ness of mind, existed during the in
tervening years are being uncovered

lington, who was appointed by Judge
Horner to. settle up the estate.

WILD DEER DIMES IN GARDEN
Enjoys Meal of Physicians Lettuce.
Then Dashes Back Into the
Forest.

LenoX, Nashville on the lawn
at Halidon hall, in Stockbridge, DR..
William Gilman Thompson saw wild
deer stalk down the mountainside
nearby, enter his garden, nibble at the
lettuce for few moments and make
off to the forest again. All last sea-
son there were three or four deer
about Halidon hall, and several times
this month DR.. Thompson's employees
had to drive them off the estate.
DR.. Thompson has forbidden any
one to shoot the animals, although
they have right to do so under the
law of this state. The physician said
he wished the deer would keep out Of
his garden. Halidon hall is about a
mile and a half from Stockbridge Cen
ter. A part of the estate is beautf-
full mountain forest.
That two moose, supposed to have
escaped from the Harry Payne Whit
ney game preserve on October noun
tain, are at large in the wilds OF the
town OF Washington was proved by
Fred Schultz, who says he saw them
just west of his house. AS he ap
preached they ran into the woods.

Love VIII Find a Way.

The young couple FASTENED into the
station. 1t was very patent that they
were not married. They were alto
gether too chummy for that They
went out on to the platform and
stood and talked for minute, when
he took her in his arms and kissed
her fondly and again hurried away
toward a train.

ton
THAT looks all right Why?"
They do that three or four times
a week. They think that everybody
else will think that he is going away
on a long journey, but he has never
got on a train yet. He simply walks
around back of the train and dis
appears. He gets his kiss all right,

Lord Byron, Scoundrel and Genius

Idol. Maidens clamored for locks OF
his hair and wrote him wildly roman
tic letters. All this delighted Byron.
BY this time he had plunged into the
grossest dissipation of London lie.
He halted for brief time in his ca
reer of vice to marry Miss Mil
banke.
They were wretchedly unhappy to-
gether and parted in less than a year.
The true reason for their separation
was not made public at the time,
though the fault was admittedly By
ron's. He proceeded to write a touch
ing farewell to his wife. 1t was a
poem that sought to draw all public
sympathy from Lady Byron and to
make himself appear more or less
martyr. In spite of this rascally eff
fort popular opinion was against By
ron. and he left England in a huff,
never to return.
He wandered around Switzerland,
Italy and Greece, leading a vile life
and writing marvellous poetry His
faded brain was seeking new sensa-
tons of every sort. For instance, he
swan the Hellespont, watched the Gre
nation of the poet Shelley and at last
decided to become military hero.
Greece was fighting for independ-
ence against her Turkish oppressors
Byron hurried to Missolonghi and
placed his sword and life at the serv-
ice of the Greeks. 1t seemed to him
a fine thing for poet to draw blade
in defense of the Ancient Land of Po-
etry. The idea struck Byron as
bit of genuine inspiration. He is even
said to have had vague hopes of be-
coming king of Greece.
But he found that drilling, march
ing, collecting provisions and study
ing maps was not as poetic pastime
as he expected. 1t bored him. He
preferred to loaf at Missolonghi, TAX
ing long swims, writing poetic verse
and flirting with dark-eyed Greek
girls. And thus he spent much of
his time when he might have been
fighting for independence.
He also had a new ambition, name
ly, to reduce his flesh. He tried to do
this by drinking vinegar and taking
long rides. The result was not what
he had hoped. In fact he fell i'll.
Don't grill me as you did poor
Shelley" he begged his friends.
There, after brief sickness, he
died, on April 10, 1924. Byron was
only thirty-six at the time of his death.
Gifted beyond ordinary mortals, he
had wilfully thrown away the respect
of his friends and of the world at
large.

Theft Charge.

Shayne told how he had befriended
the BOY here three weeks ago, giving
him food and shelter after finding him
pepniless and half-starved on the
street, only to wake up one morning
and find him missing and the money
gone. The court was inclined toward
teniency.
Write to your father, get 81, return
# to shayne, and I'll let you go on pa
role" Judge Higbee said.
The boy refused to do this or even
reveal his fathers name, so the judge
sentenced him to six years In the
jamestown reformatory. The boy
took the sentence stoically.

Deductions From the Study of the
Records of Three Generations
Published.

Berlin-Do children inherit their
mental gifts or shortcomings from
parents or grandparents? The ques-
ton is discussed in an article pub
lished in the German Umschau by DR..
w Peters.
With characteristic German thor
oughness the author has visited most
of the state primary schools IN Ger
many and Austria with the object Oh
gaining information on this point Dy
comparing the school reports OF par
ents and grandparents, where avail
BILE. with those of the present DAY
school child He has complete sets OF
records of three generations, with the
following results:
When botn parents had good to av-
erage school records to their credit,
rs per cent. of their offspring pro-
duced the same, while the rest "a per
cent. fell in various degrees belo"
the average.
When one parent had good ana
the other a poor record, 50 per cent
of their children furnished good re-
ports and al per cent. inferior ones
When both parents were distinctly
below the average, only IS per cent.
of their progeny turned out well ana
So per cent. badly.
The dependence of children on their
parents in this respect seems, there
fore. to be fairly we'll proved. Dr'
Peters, however, also found that when
rarents we're equal those children
whose grandparents were above the
