Some Poems
Worth Reading.
| F.
BY Rudyard Kipling.

BY Iiudyard kipling.
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming ii on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubt,
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way TO hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk
too wise;
If you can drcam-and not make dreams
your maStcr
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Dis
aster
And treat those two impostorS just the
same;
II you can bear 10 bear the truth you've
spoken
Twisted by knaveS TO make trap for
fools,
Or watch The things you gave your life
TO, broken,
And Stoop and build them up with
worn out tools;
If you can make one heap Of all your
winnings
And risk ii on one turn OF pitch and
toss,
And lose, and start again al your be-
ginning
And never breathe a word about your
loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and Sinew
To serve your turn long after they arc
gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the Will which says to them:
Hold on.'
II you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with KingS-nor lose The
common touch;
II neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you;
fall men count with you, but none
too much;
II you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance
run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's
in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a
Man, my son!

MORAL EFFECT OF
THE INCOME TAX.

The ratification by the legislature
of thirty-eight States assures that the
tax on incomes will soon be estak-,
lished as a source of governmental
revenue. That the tax will have the
approval of the masses is sure; mail
incomes will not be touched. The av-
erage citizen who is respectfully Pc r
is going to enjoy seeing 4 portion Of
the fortunes Of the Rockcfellers, Van
derbilts, Morgans, Ryans and AStors
turned into government channels.
The enactment of this popular
measure into the fundamental law OF
the land was easy; its enforcement IL
not going to be without its difficulties.
The power of the plutocrats in tn"
country is far reaching. They are
not going to sanction a measure tn It
will permit an investigation Of their
incomes.
Just imagine a Ryan on the rack
and forced to tell how much money
he has and being obliged to tel! the
public how he got it all.
As a producer of revenue, however,
this tax will be success, but it will
also mean an added source Of whole
sale perjury.
Lying in connection with the as
seSSment and collection of taxes Is
even now almost as common a.
breathing.
In England the income tax is prob
ably assessed as skillfully as in any
country in the world and yet, it's saH
that the result is tremendous amount
of perjury; and enough rascality has
been discovered to make it certain
that the average Englishman regards
the income tax as he does the small
pox-an evil to be gotten rid Of with
just as little damage to himself as
possible.
A favorite form of tax lodging in
England is to make no income return
to the government In such a case
the government makes its own esti3
mate. If it is too low the citizen pays
and keeps his mouth shut. If it is
too, high he can always protest and
get it revised. In one case citizen
of London had paid for years on Az
income of $4,000. By accident az
assessment was made one year on his
income at $25O,OO0. He paid it and
kept mum.
From a revenue standpoint the
measure is just and because of its
business is popular. But from a NOR
al standpoint a method of taxation
that encourages perjury is a detr;
ment to the nation. Heaven know
that the American people have
enough to answer for in the way Of
tax lying without this additions
temptation.

PENSACOLA WELL GUARDED
BY ITS FoRTREssEs,
Historic Old Pickens, McRse and Bar
rsncas Form mpreenabIe
Defense.

Pensacola.-Though robbed by the
historians of being the Oldest city IN
the United Statese. Pensacola yet has
many places of historical interest
with or without bearing upon its
claim.
One CT the most interesting points
TO visitors is Fort Pickens, when Is
the only Union coast defense IN the
South which did not fall to the guns
Of the Ccnfederates in the Civil war
Grim and gray, the historic pile has
stood for years overlooking the chan
mel bv which visiting ships enter Pen
sacola harbor. 1t is today as impreg-
nable as in the days Of '6l-65' prop
ably, and is a United States govern
ment stronghold manned by 3OO
trained artillerymen and armed with
three modern twelve inch disappear
ing rifles. There are other forts about
Pensacola which combine with PICK
ems to make its harbor one OF the
best fortified in the world, and thou
sands of people annually visit PICK,
ems McRae, Barrancas and Pensa-
cola
Another intensely interesting spot
is the PLACE, about which the city
hall, opera house and county jail
buildings are built.
In the days of the Spanish dOns 1t
was a famous dUelling ground and
many bloody affairs of honor" are
said to have been settled there by
bloody thrusts. 1t has been made one
of the most beautiful spots in the city
and a handsome monument, trees and
benches make it one of the most at
tractive parks in the South.
OF a more transient nature is the
United States cruiser Montgomery
now living at anchor in the bay. Now
used as a ship for training the jack
tars in torpedo practice, the Mont
gomery was ordered here several
months ago for the winter, and will
remain util late in March
Many people visit it nearly every
day and find it just about as at the
time it patrolled the gulf coast in
search of filibustering expeditions
during the Cuban inusurrection pre-
ceding the Spanish.American war.
There would probably have been q
highly interesting meeting between
the Montgomery and the old seagoing
tug Monarch of Pensacola, had the
latter not have foundered on bar il
Charlotte harbor, where she is nov
being pounded to pieces by the waves
The Monarch was engaged in I'LL
clustering and made one of the mos
famous expeditions of this nature OF
record, carrying to Cuba $4,000 rifle
and millions of cartridges mad un
loading the entire cargo right unde
the guns of frowning MORO Castle.
AS she left a point not far iron
Pensacola with her car go on that trll
she was forced to race past the Mont
gomery, lying with searchlights play
ing, few miles down the gulf coast

I think Vinol is the finest tonic ever
prepared, and l am telling everyone
about il"
What Vinol did for this little

"But My God Shall Supply ALL
Your Need. Pills 4:l9.
"AlI your need! How multitude
nous mans needs are
Some one has said that imam is
born a bundle Of needs" And it is
true. The highest OF Gods creatures
is, at birth, The most helpless. And
mans needs are multiplied by his
mullip!ex nature The higher the
organism, The wider the correspond
enCe, and, hence, the more numer-
Gus the needs. The worm needs
little. The bird needs more. The
beast OF burden more still. Man,
with a nature that touches several
spheres, has needs arising out OF all
OF these. Besides the animal, that
Graves the material, there are needs
that vastly Transcend lhcSc-intellcC.
lual, moral and spiritual. And each
and all are insiStcut needs. They
CRY out for satisfaction.
Facing these multitudinous needs
of man, stands the supplicr thereof,
God. My God shall supply all your
need"
The surface meaning of this text
touches our temporal wants. And
" hen things are hard with US, when
needs are many and means are few,
when The dark day Of adversely is al
hand, ii is good, o, SO good! to re.
call these strong, confident words,
"My God shall SuppIyiall your need.
But the deeper meanings of this
message address themselves to our
deeper needs, our spiritual needs.
Let US not think OF limiting Gods
supply to food, and drink and clothes
things that perish with The using.
The Word says, "All your needs"
Lei US not bind that breadth of mean.
ing. Let US accept il at its face value.
Let us delight in the fact that God
faces and fills our every spiritual
need, as well as our every temporal
want, with His unboundcd supply.
We need pardon, as we saw last
week. Well, here is Gods response:
"Let the wicked forsalle his way,
and the unrightcouS man his thought
and let him return unto the Lord,
and lie will have mercy upon him,
and TO our God for He will album
dainty pardon"
We need life, eternal life. And
here is Gods answer: God so
loved the world that lie gave His
only bcgottcn Son that whatsoever
bcIievelh in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life"
We need purity. And, here,
again, God answers our need;
"Comc, now, and lei us reason to-
gcther, saith the Lord; though your
sins be as scarlet, they shall be as
white as snow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool"
Thus facing every need, the shall
lowest and the sorcst, stands our
God. Paul was right when he said:
"My God sshaIl supply all Your
Need" Pills. 4I9.
May we find it always so!
