wife's income tax. His wife. 1t ap-
pears, had conscientious scruples
against paying income tax to a gov
eminent that withheld from women
the right to vote. Under the Married
Woman's Property Act the wife has
absolute control Of her own income
the husband cannot touch a penny Of
1t without her consent; but under
other acts of Parliament the husband
is liable for the wife's lawful debts.
Mrs. Wilks' income tax undoubtedly
was a lawful debt, and failure to pay
ones debt when 1t Is in the form of an
income tax makes one liable to jail.
Mrs. Wilks would not pay. Mr.. Wilks
could not. So the gentleman was sent
to Jail. Now this may reveal a condi-
ton highly prejudicial to women; but
1t is certainly hard lines on the hus-
band. Mr.. Zangwill pointed out that
under such conditions, for a poor man
to marry a great heiress might be
equivalent to a sentence for life in the
penitentiary.

Gold does not tarnish like other

also does not rust, neither hot nor cold
water having any action upon 1t. The
sulphureted hydrogen Of the atmos-

yer, has no effect upon aluminium,
which under ordinary circumstances
preserves It's appearance as perfectly
as gold does. Silver furnishes on ex-
posture to the air, the agent producing
this effect being the sulphur. Iron is
the metal which furnishes and rusts
most easily. Its oxidation proceeding

MAIL ORDER COMPETITION

The prosperity Of trading points
that exist in farming communities and
ever larger cities Is threatened by the
competition of vast aggregations of
wealth in a few of our great cities
whose aim evidently is the creation OF
monopoly in supplying the wants of
the people. This mail Order) COM
petition to which I refer IS a menace
to the small town bears no share of
the expense of building or maintain
ing local institutions, and to whatever
extent it succeeds in absorbing the
trade of a community, to that extent
does it impair the taxable resources
Of the community, and in whatever
measure it lessons the volume of bust
ness Of small town merchants in the
same proportion will 1t reduce the
sales Of such lines Of business as are
represented here today therefore, I
urge on every one to study the situa-
tion.-Henry w. Schwab, President,

A Case Of Poetic Justice.

The following Is a case Of poetic Jus
dce as meted out In France: A Pari-
sian architect was sitting in his office
when he heard a knock at the door.
As he wished to be alone he took no
notice Of the knock, but went on with
his work. A few moments later he
heard a key moving in the lock. Not
doubling that his visitor was a robber,
She architect armed himself with a re-
volver and quietly hid behind some
curtains. Presently the thief entered
and proceeded to rife the place. Then
suddenly he started and grew pale. In
q mirror he had see a revolver leveled
at his head from behind the curtains.
"Open the window" ordered the ar
chitect, land shout 'Police!'"
The burglar had NJ alternative but
to obey and so summoned the officer by
whom he vas to be arrested.-Green

STATE OWNS TOO MUCH IN
HARDING.

A Pierre dispatch says that N. M.
Hanson of the state land department
has returned from Belle Fourche,
where he filed on about 5000 acres
more Of school indemnity lands in
Harding county, thus further extend
ing the state holdings in that county.
Almost half Of the county is now held
either in government forest reserves,
or in state lands, which makes it
of a proposition for the peo-
pie of that county to secure the nee
essary to carry on their pub
lie affairs, and is the cause of more
less complaints coming from that
section On the part Of the taxpayers,
at the extension of the state land
acreage to the taking up of indemnity
lands by the state.

The Bicvcte.

From the best accounts it appears
that the first bicycle-meaning by the
term a two wheeled machine for hui
man locomotion-was made In France
about the year 1915. This pioneer ma
chine was a very awkward affair, con
sisting Of a couple Of heavy wooden
wheels Of equal diameter, one behind
the other and Joined together by a lon
gitudinal wooden bar on which the rid
er's seat was fixed, the mode of pro-
pulsion being the pushing Of the feet
against the ground. Not for fifty years
was any real progress made. In 1869
the machine with the big driving wheel
with the little hind wheel was invent
ed by Michaux Of Paris, and a few
years later came the safety" which.

chine We have today.-New York

NJ r. ADVERTISER, you
III should make your adver-
tisements representative Of
yourself. They should en-
body your personality, your
reputation and your aims. Do
not say anything in an ad-
vertisement that you would
not say face to face with a
customer. Your advertise

methods. If the goods you
are going to sell are part
cotton don't advertise them
as all wool unless you intend
to misrepresent and are will
ing to look your best GUS
toner in the face and insist
that the goods are all wool.
If you are building your
business on deception-well,
that Is your affair. But If
your word Is recognized as
good in your neighborhood
then your advertisements
should sustain your reputa-
ton, and you will lose moth
ing by telling possible us
toners in cold type that the
bargain you offer Is only
half as good as it looks.
One Of the most successful
advertisers in the country
once advertised an article
that he was selling at an
absurdly low price as being
las poor as can be made for
the money" He may not
have sold many Of those arti-
cles, but any that he did sell
did not make him any enc
mics, and the advertisement
frankly stating that the
cheap article was Of little
value made his declarations
Of the high quality Of other
goods sound effective.

Old ENGLISH Pence.

Halfpence and farthings were not
coined in England before the time Of
Edward l., and until they were the
penny, which was then made of silver,
was issued deeply indented with a
cross In order that 1t might be broken
into two pieces for halfpennies or into
four things, OF farthings. The silver
penny was the first coin Of the Anglo
Saxons struck in England. In 1872 an
authorized coinage Of copper pennies,
halfpennies and ~farthings was estab-
lished. Silver farthings ceased to be
coined under Edward vi. and silver
~halfpennies under the commonwealth.
