There's always something goin' on to
make the towards quake with dread
And set around and talk about the dan
gers that are on ahead:
I'll bet you that when Caesar fell the
folks who kept the stores in Rome
Expected that the mobs would rise to
But things kept goin' right along, the old
world never swerved a jot,
And in a little while the crowds went
back to workin' and forgot.
When Cromwell got his dander up and
went to knockin' things about.
I'll bet that lots of folks supposed the
world was goin' up the spout
The radicals, 1 s'pose, were blamed for
recklessly destroyin' trade,
And probably wild howls went up for all
the changes that were made:
But England didn't go to smash; in fact
the rip-up helped a lot.
And in q little while the crowds went
back to workin' and forgot.
It's always been the same old cry; we
hear 1t every now and then;
Some man that amt afraid steps out ant
does thing for his fellow men.
And they throw up their hands and say
because his way is strange or new.
That he has knocked the bottom out anC
things will soon be faIlin' through,
But gener'ly II happens that what need
upsettin' gets upset,
And when the crowds get back to worl
the whole affair is soon forgot.

But know that which have learned
that happiness and contentment are
not built upon such things as may
take upon themselves wings and fly
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
For you salvation may come through
the revolution of society; for me it lies

HOW THEY DO IT IN NORWAY

Since the adoption OF the constitu-
tional amendment permitting the levy
ing OF an income tax, the possessors
Of moderate or large incomes have
been put on the anxious seat by the
probability that congress will impose
"A tax on incomes that will affect them
seriously These may feel their trou.
.bles less by comparison with the way
,hey do nit in Norway.
The Washington Times says that in
Norway the plan has been been 70 levy
per cent according to the size Of
the income. but beginning Jan. l OF
this year. a uniform tax OF 6 per cent
Is imposed on all incomes. regardless
Of size In addition. a community or
city tax OF about 10 per cent is levied.
making a total OF about 10 per cent
which everybody having an income
must pay.
AS an Offset 20 this. a small portion
OF each income Is exempted from the
operation OF the state tax by one
method adm the community tax by
another. The exemption varies from

S4S2 on those over S2.6S0.
In the city OF hrisiania taxpayers
are divided into classes for the local
levy on incomes, according 10 the

Frank Gilley, one Of the -four mill
owners, met with d horrible accident
one morning recently. He was caught
by a rapidly moving shaft. which
wound him up. throwing his BODY
against the ceiling, and drawing MN
tighter and tighter until his body acted
as such a block or brake to the SHAFT as
to throw the belt, causing the shaft to
stop. Charley Taylor, the miller, un-
fortunately at the time. was down
stairs at work. Noticing the shaft
stop. he hurried up to-the first floor and
called to Frank but got no response
but looking up found him fastened to
the shaft and in an unconscious condi-
ton. An examination showed that
both of Mr.. Gilley's arms were broken
in several places tho no other part OF
his body received serious injury.
