When a Judge pleaded.

French law courts often develop
phases of numor that can have no
counterpart in American or English
procedure. Monsieur Hugot is presi-
dent of the Ninth chamber, one of the
courts of Paris. The other day, Mai
ire c. appeared at the bar, and with
many gestures, pointing to his throat,
made the court understand that he
had lost his voice Yes, maitre," said
the judge, alphabetically, the court
notes that you have a severe cold,
that it is impossible for you to plead.
But your client shall not on that ac-
count be deprived of defense. II you
had been able to plead you would
not have failed to show that she had
a good reputation and that she stole
from her employer to nourish her four
children. In short, that the accused
committed a fault accidentally, and
that she will engage never again to
appear before the tribunal There
Maitre c. is your pleading, is it not?
Very we'll; now the judgment of this
tribunal is one month in prison"

POETRY IN RUSHING WATERS
Voice and Appearance Of mighty
Thunderer" Brought to Ones
Senses by Graphic Description.

But of a sudden the sun bursts forth
Ia all the glory OF a RUNNER after
noon and the whole aspect OF the
scene is changed. Gloom and despair
are oyerridden by boundless JOY. the
all-dispelling joy Of nature. True, the
waters stlll hurl themselves headlong
10 the awful depths below, true, the
terrible chasm yawns for its
lawful prey; true, the voice Of the
Mighty Thunderer" still echoes from
the untold depths. But those waters
seem now t. sccinti,lste with thou
sand crystals, to refect strange colors
and weird phantom shapes-to dance
with a ew-born impetus; that chasm
seems to yawn less terribly; the
voice OF the Mighty Thunderer' to
speak with a cadence strihngly mu-
steal, and as the mist created by the
fall rises snowlike to the sky, a yeri-
table burnt offering, browning the
Mighty Thunderer' with glorious
double rainbow, emblemadc Of victory
and peace, the waters themselves
glide off down the river, clear as
crystal, yet verdant as the meadow
land, smooth as glass, yet turbulent
as the mighty torrent that impels
them-glide off down the river in the
besetting peacefulness that marks the
period of calm that precedes the
storm--off down the narrowing gorge
to be lost In the vortex Of the rapids.

425,OOO TO PAY
TAX ON INCOME
MAKES FIRST REPORT TO
CONGRESS.
TO GIVE S1O5,OOO,OOO
McADoo ESTIMATES THAT $65, ,ooo,.
900 OF THIS SUM WILL BE
PAID BY INDIVIDUALS,
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington. - Secretary McAdoo's
first report TO Congress 10 largely con-
fined to review of tho achievements
of the treasury department in mat
ters that have been OF nationwide in
terest; to recommendations for in
creased appropriations for bureaus un-
der his authority and for legislation
which he declares necessary to the
better conduct of the government and
the protection of the people.
The secretary discusses at some
length the subject of currency legisla-
ton, reviewing the activities in his
department related to it. He speaks
of an unrest in business circles fol-
lowing the beginning of the special
session of Congress in April, refers to
propaganda Of peoGimlsm which,
designedly or not, produces condi-
ton of extreme nervousness and ten
sion," and points to his announcement
in June that the treasury was ready
to issue $5O00OO,00O of emergency
currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland
act to prevent the restriction of credit
and to ease any situation.
Mr.. McAdoo details the treasurys
offer 70 loan to banks of the country
money to move the fall crops. The
sum of $46,500,O0O out of $50,000,000
estimated to be needed was appor-
toned among the states.
The income tax is not dwelt upon
at length, but the report estimates
that 425,00O individuals are subject to
1t and that corporations not hereto
fore subject to tax will number about
100000
The report refers to the require
ment that banks which hold govern
ment deposits made April 80, 1913, pay
interest at two per cent, declaring
that it means an annual revenue of ST.
100000 to the government and show
ing that If such a regulation had been
made in 1897 the government would
now have received in interest more
than $30,000,000.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that
the revenues for the fiscal year, ex-
elusive of postoffice receipts, will be
SIPS, 900 900, only $2,000,000 less than
the estimates for the fiscal year 1914.
To make that total he expects the
customs to bring in 249,0O0,OOO, ordi-
nary internal revenue S315,00O,0OO and
the income tax $1O5,O0O,000, of which
SAC, 100000 is to come from corpora
tions, the remainder from individuals.
From sales of public lands he ex-
poets to put into the treasury S3,00O,-
600 and from miscellaneous sources
s56,O0O,OO0
He expresses the belief that ordi-
nary receipts for 1915 Will exceed the
disbursements sufficiently to pay out
about $26,00O,000 from the treasury's
general fund for the Panama canal.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-12-06

Denver.-For the first time reports
of Colorado's farm crop for 1913 are
in sufficiently complete form to
make tabulated statement of the re-
turns by crops and to reach a total,
largely based on statistics. This has
ben done by Lou d. Sweet, the agri-
cultural expert.
The result shows a magnificent ad-
vance over last year, a total crop
value this year of 100000, an in
crease over 1912 of S27,OO0,000. Mr..
Sweet thinks that the final returns
will carry the total to an even higher
figure and prepared this table to be
on the safe side.
Adding the increase in livestock to
the crop increase there is total gain
in these two items of S39,500,000, a
phenomenal advance in what is literal
ly soil production, new money that
will be distributed in Colorado this
year.
Every agricultural crop makes an
advance in value over last year. Hay
scores a gain of $S,50O,0OO; grain Of
S1,500,000; sugar beets, S4,000,000;
vegetables, $2,000,0OO; dairy products,
s2,00O,000; fruits, $1,000,000; potatoes,
81, 500, 900.
November was another record
breaking month at the Denver Union
stock yards A total business of $780,,
100000 was done. The receipts of cat
tie for November were 65,459 head, an
increase of 1896 over November of
loc Il hnt of a "
died this year to date is 473,403,
gain to date of S1,94S over the same
period last year.

a paid servant. But the man calls him

q paid servant But the man calls him
his heart and soul
Not SO long ago an ancient colonel
from the cotton belt came to Washington
and accidentally met the black man who
had been his body servant in the days
when their world was young The two
old fellows fairly hugged each other in
the joy of their coming together and the
co onel with his arm around the other S
shoulder told how lonely he was with
everybody dead and gone, and how he
was going to take his old Bob back with
| him to the plantation and let him live in
clover for the rest of his life.
But his old Bob, chucklng and quav-
| ering over the delight of the invitation.
! had to refuse. His clover meant extra
| thorns for the man without arms.
IF there's a family, bring everybody
along. There's room for al of you on
the old place. And if there isn't any
family, I've greater claim than-nobody
could need you as do, Bob, old boy"
Bob admitted to family of one. The
colonel insisted upon getting acquainted.
lie beheld the greater need And when
he left the room, helpless baby of a
man, said to himself: Il have found
friendship"
And the next thing the "pocketbook'
and the world knew, the man without
arms and the b ack man who was one
time slave, and colonel man were
travelling together to way down south
in the land of cotton-to live in clover
! forever and ever.

A Famous Chapel Crumbling.
ON the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
So much has been done to Lincoln s
Inn Chapel in the way of restoration
and alteration that, while the contra
dlctory character of the structure has
been Increased, lingo Jones has been
relieved from responsibility alike for
It's beauties and its defects. But one is
alarmed to hear that this fascinating
hybrid would probably tumble into It's
own open-air crypt-the crypt IN wnlcn
PepyS sauntered-unlesS something Z
We're quickly done to it. The three blg
buttresses at the southeast end OF the
chapel are being reconstructed ihese
buttresses are of brick covered over
with plaster, and as they sustain the
floor of the chapel from somewhere
about half way up their height 1t Is
obvious that they should De strong.
So they are being turned from ancient
brick into modern stone, each section
of the stone being inserted as the prick
is taken out The two western but
tresses on this side Of the chapel are
already of stone, for they are part OF
the comparatively modern additions to
the building.

The Woman on the Farm.

From the Toronto Mail and Empire.
The woman on the average farm has a
.hard life at the best. Loyal and true a.
the helpmate of her oftentimes unappre-
ciative husband, and self-sacrificing rs
the mother of her children, she drudges
faithfully along year in and year out Lit
tle>occurS to vary the dun monotony OF
her life Ho idays and trips are not fol-
her In the house she goes without
utensils and convenienceS that would lift
a load from her daily work in order that
there may be money to buy plou or
add to the barn. She stands back if new
clothes have to be bought. Her old
clothes can be brushed up or mended TO
last little ion@a., for does she not stay
at home most or the time. She denies
herself little comforts and ferpininities
that cost money in order that something
more needful may be bought, or the bank
account look more prosperous. She often
splits the wood, besides keeping up the
fires, does a mans work IN feeding the
animals, and for what reward? True, as
rule. she gets plenty of food. and she
has lot of fresh air exercise. But IL not
one of the chief needs of ag. icultural life
nowadays a larger consideration Tor the
fact that the farmers wife Is woman,
even though she seems defeminiZed2
Is 1T any wonder that boys and girls on
the farm rush to the cities when they see
what such conditions produce? City wise
acres ponder long on the attraction OF
city lie 10 the country youth W III CoH-
ditions materially better themselves
while the woman on the farm and her
needs are practically neglected? There
is an agricultural commission in Ohio in
vestigating conditions OF rural life. IT is
paying particular attention to the matter
of household conveniences Most of the
women say. oh, if / could only have
running water. l wouldn't mind SO muchr'
Here, then, is one problem. There are
many others. The spreading of hydro
electric power to the farm in Ontario will
make electric conveniences in some farm
houses possible. But what is wanted
chiefly is wave of public sympathy for
the women on the farm that they may be
encouraged to think more of themselves
and their needs. A little more selfishness
might help them much.
