XVI.
There were times when Mrs. Poly
| dore, who was considerably younger
| than the professor, would allow him
a little latitude in company and not
| hold him tethered, so to speak, to
her apron strings.
! Polydore was man OF innnlre ex-
+, perience and discernment, and. con-
sequently, was not long in discover
ing that these interIms of freedom
from his wife's jealous surveillance
only occurred when dashing young
men happened TO be present.
Somehow. Mrs. Polydore did not
seem to notice or care at such times
even II the professor infringed upon
the rule which she has prescribed
that he was not to hold the hand of
any woman during a cheirosophic
sennce
Professor Polydore knew that al
though the admiration which his wife
coveted was very gratifying to her
vanity, he could, nevertheless. feel
perfectly secure so far as her love
and wifely duty toward him we're
concerned.
He Was Free from Jealousy.
He, therefore, never experienced
any of the agonizing pangs of
jealousy which his handsome wife's
happy expression while drinking In
other mems praises might otherwise
have caused him. On the contrary, he
reJoiced, for the two-fold reason that
his spouse, whom he loved tenderly,
thereby became SO deeply absorbed in
the delightful music of the young
mems encomiums as to cause her
almost altogether to lose sight of his
presence. And. oh, how sweet these
moments of liberation from his wife's
censorious overlordship tastedl
Nice young chap, that Mr.. Stor-
mount is--don't you think so, too?"
observed the professor as he and Mrs
Polydore were riding home from an
entertainment at which he had en-
1oyed an extra large share Of free
dom.
Stormount, who was q celebrated
ladies' man. had surpassed himslf In
making complaints to Mrs. Polydore.
Hence. she was oblivious of what
would otherwise have provoked a
stormy protest. namely, that the pro-
fessor was holding the hands not of
one, but of two of the prettiest of the
young women simultaneously, and
performing the difficult feat OF giving
them a parallel life-reading, some
thing in the style of Plutarch, the
historian.
Mrs. POIydore Agreed.
Eyes. l consider Mr.. Stormount a
very superior young man." replied
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-11-20
Same Eye

Mrs. Polydore. HE said he regarded
me by far the handsomest woman OF
the evening"
"Indeed?" said Polydore. IT am
glad to know that his opinion and
mine coincide on so. vital point"
"Oh, you f1atterer!" exclaimed MRS.
Polydore. squeezing the professors
hand do you know that although
l liked to hear Mr.. Stormount pay
me that nice compliment, 1t seems
infinitely more agreeable coming from
you. Why is that?''
Perhaps because In his case, you
may suspect that II Is an instances
of not all being gold that glitters,'
while you can feel absolutely certain
that when l say you are beautiful
1t must be true"
why should I feel more certain
when you say so?"
Because husbands don't fiatter''
Eyes, l believe you," said Mrs
Polydore. impetuously throwing her
arms around her husbands neck and
kissing him.
why should ] not believe my own
dear Polydore who sat so patiently
In a corner and allowed me to enjoy
myself"

Trembling with fright, Hilda

head on her arms, she cried Bit

Don't cry so hard said Hilda,

Pretty soon Lucy cried, Hurry

This made Hilda desperate" Dor

And the very minute he's STOPPING

Then, you must have pail of water

All right whispered Lucy, run

as to have it handy. Hilda ran for

What happened them" demanded
Davie Bear, breathlessly, as his
sister Dorothy paused in the midst
of a most thrilling story about
wicked, wicked fire imp that lived
In the forest and was always, al
ways doing mischief.
When Dorothy stopped last night
the fire imp was hiding behind
big tree in front of the house of a
poor, poor woman, who was out in
the woods picking up sticks, which
she planned to make into bundles
and sell to the people round about
He had decided to burn the house
all up. just for the fun of seeing
1t blaze, and watching the face of
the woman when she came home
and found that she had no house
at all. Wasn't he really and truly
wicked?
Hurry up, Dorothy, did ne jump
right out and set the house on fire,
or did he wait around to see if the
woman's two little girls were
home" insisted Davie, his eyes like
stars. "This is the most exciting
est story you ever, ever told, isn't
It,"
Dorothy smiled 1t was the smile
Vi llic dAllSL WnOSe WOTk WAS aD-

thread of her tale.
HE didn't care whether the lit
tie girls were in the house or not"
she said. solemnly; "he really
wished they were. cause he thought
burning people up was even more
fun than burning houses.

stopped laughing so hard, he
sneaked on tip-toe across the little
road and got down on his knees by
the side of the porch.

happened to be near the window.
She was sweeping the floor, while
her sister sat in the kitchen and
peeled the potatoes for their poor,
tired mothers supper.

first little girl-thought she heard
some one laughing, so she lifted the
curtain a wee. wee bit, and saw
the red. red figure of the fire imp,

as the wicked fire imp stopped
over to set the steps on fire, she
poured the oil all over him, and
it blazed up in a second. The fire
imp roared with pain, and ran
around and around, but it was too
late. He burned up exactly as he
wanted the little girls to burn up.
And Lucy put out the fire on the
steps with her pail of water, and
then she and Hilda ran into the
woods to find their mother and re-
late what they had done.
"And when the people heard that
the fire imp was burned up at
last" Dorothy ended, they cheered
and cheered, because they were so
glad"
Children Dear:
DO you see the picture of the little
girl atop this story? And would
you like yours or your little baby
sisters or brothers to appear in that
little candlestick frame?
If so, just ask your mother to
send your picture to me and I'll be
happy to let 1t smile at all the other
children readers for whole week.
Yours always.

STATES APPROVE
 NEW AMENDMENT
DELAWARE, WYOMING AND NEW MExtCo's APPROVAL MAKE

MAY REALIZE S1OO,000,OOO
It Is Expected That the New Measure Will Put in Effect Under New
 Administration.

 Washington.-Dire taxes upon the incomes of citizens of the United States, whether derived from idle capi- tai or from the conduct of business, were made possible by the ratification of the Sixteenth amendment to the federal Constitution Delaware, Wyom- ing and New Mexico indorsing the in- come tax amendment through their legislatures completed a list of 3S states that have approved it, two more than the three-fourths necessary for it's final adoption,
 Leaders in congress predicted that through this authorization, the law upon American incomes will be intro duced as soon as the extra session opens, It's exact terms have not been decided upon, but it is believed, will exempt all incomes below $40O0 or $5,000 and will provide a tax of i per cent upon the majority of personal in- comes that do not run to an excessive figure.
 Informal notice of the final adop- ton of the new amendment was given the senate by Senator Brown of Ne braska, who introduced the resolution in 1909 upon which the proposal for an income tax was submitted to the states. Drafting of the bill to put the tax into effect, it is expected, will fall to the lot of Representative Hull of Tennessee, member of the House Ways and Means Committee, who drew the excise bill proposed last year by the Democratic house of represen- tatives, but which did not become law
 The income tax will he designed to supplant the present corporation tax and will apply to the incomes of in dividuals, firms and corporations In statement Representative Hull de clared he favored making the new tax an integral part of the financial system of the United States to remain in full force without regard to the character of tariff bills that congress may enact from time to time
 One feature which it is believed will be included in the law will be provis- ion for collecting at the source" of the income. This feature now in oper- ation in England would require firms to certify to amounts they pay to in dividpal in salaries or fees and pay the tax direct to the government It is believed this would remove much complaint that might be made if the government had to investigate every citizens income and would prevent evasion of the law.
 The annual amount that the govern ment may realize under the income tax is estimated by Democratic leaders in congress at approximately 00,000,000. This would include the $30,O00,000 col lected under the present corporation tax.

MUCH CORN RAISED
Independence County Is Beginning to
 Be Factor as Grower.

lle.-Independenee county is getting to be one of the greatest corn counties in the South. and while cot ton will continue to be the staple crop in the county for a number of years, the corn shipments here this year give this county the claim of being one of the ranking corn counties of the coun- try. Not counting any of the corn bought and sold and shipped in Bates vile and 9 other places in the county, the report from Magness last week is that 27,500 bushels of corn have been shipped from that place this year. Magness is just station on the White river division and makes no claim to being corn market. None of the fig
 ures have been kept in Batesville as to corn shipments, but it is safe to say that more than lives times that much has gone from here. This does not take into consideration the corn that is sold for home consumption and sold to local dealers for the home market

The telegram, which was signed by the entire Arkansas delega- tion in the house, and which was ad- dressed to Mrs. James H. Berry at Bentonville read:
