lunch box she carried and move her
handkerchief to her eyes, as if to
wipe the tears away. He wondered
what dreary life drama hers might
be, what secret care and trouble
might scar her tender girlish heart.
And then-just as she was crossing
a street he saw her step directly in
the path of an onFushing automobile.
He made spring. Just at the critical
moment he seized and drew her out
of the way of dreadful peril, and
led her back to the street curb half
fainting with terror.
"Oh-how can l thank youw she
painted, and her hand rested uncon-
sciously on his own as though she
was glad that her rescuer was an
acquaintance, if even a casual one.
Had you not better let me help
you into the drug store yonder, where
you can rest until you recover your
fright" he asked solicitously.
ooh, no, l am quite quite myself
now" insisted Muriel, although she
was trembling still and her lips were
unsteady.
He took her hand and drew it
through his arm in a kindly brotherly
way she could not resist.
1--WE will walk on slowly then" he
said quietly. 81 will see you safely
as far as your home"
She started, drew back, and the
tears gushed from her eyes.
81 dare not-that is, l cannot go
home just now" she faltered. ct

carelessly crossed the street, and how
should pass the long day"

Muriel pathetically. "She is an in

from mother"
A plain story, but infinitely pa
thetic, it made Sidney Harper think.
Then in a half humorous, half serious
tone he said:
Miss Hope, this is our day of COZ
medicines. We miss work together, (
you have house, l. own a lot. Wei

and not knowing how to enjoy it,
Won't you help me find way?"
The clear, frank eyes Of the girl
looking into his own saw there only
manliness and respect. She entered
into the spirit of the proposition
smiHngly.
81 am as unused to holidays as
yourself" she admitted
"Just forget your dear mother, and
all your troubles, and the days work,
for few hours, Miss Hope" advised
Sidney. Help me make it a pleasant,
restfu day for both of us"
Children of the heart, with nothing
sweet in the city for them but the pa
tient, lives of the poor, it seemed as
if the sunshiny, golden hours drifted
them into veritable fairyland of en-
joyment.
Never would Muriel forget the rare
wonder and novelty of the pleasure
park, where her courteous escort
made her see everything worth see
ing, where they had delightful
lunch in water pagoda to the
strains of sweet music, and then a
long row on the dreamy lagoon.
Muriel with bright laugh emptied
out the tell-tale lunch she had
brought from home, her beautiful
eyes suffused as she spoke softly of
"deceiving poor motherw There was
the lovely flush of excitement and
Joy in her cheeks as they neared her
home.

No Rate Revision.

Head Consul A. R. Talbot, of the
Modern Woodmen of America, in an
open letter to members, tells them
that at the January 1913 meeting of
the executive council it was decided
that no attempt will be made to en-.
force the collection of the new rates
adopted year ago by the head
camp at Chicago.
This decision was arrived at because
of the injuctionial orders issued by
judges in various states and the i'm
possibility of getting a decision from
the supreme court before late in 1913
The next meeting of the head camp
is in 1914, so tie officers will let the
matter rest till then. expecting the
various camps to elect delegates in
structed to vote as the majority want.
This is really permitting the rank
and file to ratify or reject the action
of the 1912 convention at Chicago.

From Grower to Consumer.

This is a story of the adventure of
ca bbage in New York. It casts some
illumination upon the much discussed
high cost of living. The cabbage is
raised by farmer in Connecticut. A
comparatively small farmer will send
1900 to 5000 heads of cabbage to
New York. For one head he receives
IL cents. Then the head goes to the
commission merchant. He lives on
Riverside drive. pays So, 600 year
for his apartments and keeps an
automobile He spends 81, 600 year
to live. Next the cabbage is seut to
the wholesaler. He lives on West
End avenue !; he pays 81, 800 for his
apartment and keeps an automobile.
His living expenses are $4,000 year,
He sends the cabbage to toe jobher,
who lives in an apartment which costs
81, 500 per year, on Broadway; keeps
an automobile and spends $5, 600 per
year. From him the cabbage travels
to the retailer. who lies in 500
apartment on side street, has
corner store, for which he pays $215
a month rent, keeps two delivery
wagons at a cost of $40 per month
and spends So, 500 year on his liv-
ing Finally the cabbage gets to the
consumer. He lives in an apartment
for which he pays $40 a month; he
rides in the trolley car or the subway {;
he spends all he can make or a little
more to live. and he pays Is cents
for that head of cabbage. Exchange.

Views of the Income Tax.

New York Tribune :-Dou btless there
are persons in this country whose in
terest in the income tax is inspired
by the wish to penalize wealth.
They want to bleed the milIionaires,
and for that purpose would impose the
tax quite regardless of the govern
ment's need of the money or the pos
sible reduction of other taxation. The
great body of the people. however, we
believe look to TIE income tax only as
juster method of raising needed re-
venue, and no more revenue than is
needed, and expect to see those who
enjoy comfortable incomes lift the
burden from the larger number Of
consumers, whose cost of living
they think is increased by the indirect
tariff duties. Bothersome as the in
come tax may be, probably most of
those who pay it would be satisfied, so
far as the money contribution went,
if they saw a proportional relief in
the expenses of themselves and their
neighbors Neither they nor their
poorer neighbors, however. will be
satisfied to see the raising of revenue
in large measure transferred from the
custom house to the income tax Office
while they pay as much for living in
proportion to the wages as they did
when the government was placing
higher indirect taxes on their con-
There is the test of the
prospective fiscal system Is it to be
a relief or just new exaction'

Of Alderman Clark the council voted
to allow one half of the bill, viz
$24. II. Aldermen Wiedenbeck, Belz,
Goble, Roth and Clark voted aye
Alderman Budworth voted no.
The city clerk called attention to
the fact that the appointment of cleo.
tion officers, made by the council at
the February meeting, was illegal for
the reason that a set of officers for
such purpose had been appointed in
February, 1912. to serve two years,
hence they will serve until February

year to be filled.

Sixty Thousand Veterans.

Plans have been approved by the
War Department to prepare on the
battlefield of Gettysburg a camp con-
tanning a. 000 tents for the 60. 900 or
20, 600 survivors of the Union and
Confederate armies on the fiftieth an.
niversary in July next For this event
Congress has appropriated $3.50, 600.
the State of Pennsylvania $3.50. 900,
and other states Will provide for
transportation expenses. The week
of July, 1868. was one of great results
in the civil war. AS the tremendous
struggle at Gettysburg ended Vicks-
burg was surrendered with a garrison
of 81, 900 men, remarkable military
coincidence and climax. On Novem-
Der 10 of the same year President Lin
coin delivered his brief but immortal
speech at the national dedication of
the field.
Each army at Gettysburg had over
20 600 seasoned soldiers, and in each
the killed and wounded alone mum her
ed not far from 10000 If the Union
army, instead of the Confederates, had
reiterated from its position the war
would have gone forward in the spirit
shown throughout the foar years.
Llncoln's address is the expression of
that resolve and the purposes back of
it. The country has been reunited
and has reached leadership in the
world that more than realizes the
future predicted for it fifty years ago.
The country is glad that SO many old
soldiers survive to see the famous field
again. now a national military park
with the old flag perpetually flying.

Choosing the Postmaster.

Senator Bristow S proposal to have
fourth class postmasters elected has,
strangely enough, resulted in the in
sertion by the Senate committee on
postoffices Of a provision in the post
Office appropriation bill for the hold
ing of primary" elections for post
masters. The Postofice Department,
by the bills operation, would be
empowered to call primary" for
each Office to be filled, but should it
do SO it would be- obliged to appoint
postmaster the person receiving the
largest number of votes.
This plan might OF might not result
IN slightly better service than the old
spoils methods of appointing political
workers to postoffices has given. but

absurd form of partisanship for
another. The merit system provides
an Infinitely better way than either

An honest man he certainly was,

To his three sons and one daughter,
who. with their widowed mother,
grieve SO deeply over this great loss
which has come to the family circle
of Homestead Farm, he has left a
precious legacy, of far more value
than gold, silver, or many acres of

he has kept as great treasure hand

before him. A loving parent, whose
every act was one of the most I'M
selfish devotion to the best interests
of his children.
kind husband, whose care was to
protect and shield her whom he had
chosen for his wife.
A good neighbor, whose aid and
advice was often sought by those who
trusted in his integrity and wide ex-
perience in business affairs
A true friend ever ready to fearless
ly defend those in whose principles
he believed.
The wide circle of men whose
friendship he retained until his death
can testify to the value Of this one
mans life to those among whom he
lived.
