Revenue.
1t will be apparent to those who have
had legislative service, that unless
some check of the nature proposed be
made, the increase of revenue will be
of no avail in preventing the financial
embarrassment of the State. Under
the enthusiasm of the moment one
appropriation bill may exhaust it.
However, ! deem it wise to call to
your attention an appropriate source
of enlarged revenue, without placing
upon the people an unfair burden.
More than four-fifths of the States
of the Union derive revenue from what
is known as an Inheritance tax.
Practically every nation of the world
regards this source of income as fair

I'VE kinder need windmill. sug
gested the father
And it's a golden chance" added
Mr.. Drew. Il have never made such
an offer before. and OF course cannot
do Il again"
IF Sarah would tell us what she
thinks" said the mother. 2mpatiently.
Il think (giggle) yesi" (Titter)
That settled H. They took Mr..
Drew's word for what he was. and he
did not deceive them. Three days la
ter there was giggling. tittering mar
riage, and two weeks later that half
price windmill was Mailing the air on
the Cox farm In a way to drive an
the crows out OF the country.
To pass to the second era, It may be
said that Mr.. and Mrs. Drew lived hap
PLY for seven years, and then the
farmer went out of tho windmill busi-
ness. He had to. Death claimed him
for its own and It takes a very lively,
live man to sell wind-mills. Sarah had
continued to giggle and litter and she
didn't stop till the day of his death.
Then she stopped as suddenly as
carpenters hammer when it's owner
hears the clock strike FIVE.
You can't stop a giggler and a tit
terer of years standing without re-
suits following. The widow turned to
poetry in day. She had never tried
to make a rhyme in her life before,
but she tackled the Joy now by writ
ing:
A weeping widder il Sarah Drew.
And things are looking both black and
Under the sod her husband is dead,
And she hopes he won't get cold In the
head.
That was the first Of a series OF
about thousand poems" she pro-
duced- She had one on the doctor,
the undertaken, the pall-bearer, the
grave digger and the ministers. Then
she had one on her father, her mother
and the windmill. Then she invented
and dedicated poems to everybody for
five miles around, and when the per-
sonal field was exhausted she went
for the sun and moon and stars and
the bowling gales and balmy breezes.
Very early in her poetic career the
widow Drew was called a fool and a
lunatic by most people that knew her,
and 1t was predicted that no man
would ever look at her with view to
marriage No man in his sober senses,
they argued, could abide such wife.
Sarah knew what the general feeling
was, and she took advantage of the oc-
casion to write:
They say I'm a fool because do write
Most beautiful verses by day and by
night;
They say must live single because I'm
a poet,
But I'd like to know how IN Sam Hill
they know IT.
They didn't know it. They weren't
even good at guessing. After about
two years of widowhood and poetry,
along came a cattle-raiser worth about
thirty thousand dollars and read one
Of her poems at the village inn, and
half an hour later he knocked at the
door.
i've taken a solemn vow to marry
a poetess or no one. VIII you be
miner"
And five minutes later she answered
him with:
Oh G. B. Smith would marry me,
And a fine looking man is that G. B.;
I've said him yes. and we shall wed,
And happy be till both are dead.
