the dual monarchy saved it from a
serious situation. The Italian fishing
industry had been brought to "A
standstilf and there was widespread

Once upon a time there was a little Eboys who had a birthday A1pefL hadn't had many birthdays, only seV- en in all, but this seemed the best pr all far one of his gifts was a jack knife.
 1 His mother was not quite sure she wanted him to have it but he promls- ed to be very careful and so sne let him keep it. He felt quite proud as he put the knife in his pocket and gra1,xed down to the meadow where the lrnen were cutting the grass He liked to watch and see the big Ishinfne blade of the machine the men ITode on as they cut the grass ana Iefl i 1t to dry in the sun He Wonderea F his knife blade was as sharp and took his knife out of his pocket to look at He followed the men about until he was tired and thought he would go E home as it must be most time TOT ms father to be there and he Wantea 70 show it to him.
 when he reached the house his faith CT was there and after he had kissed him, reached into. his pocket for hls knife and it was gone. He had lost his knife and he could hardly keep back the tears as he told his mother and father. When he told them that he had been down in the
 meadow they said. Why you lost 1t |there,p and mother turned out his lit
 tie pocket and there was a hole quite
 big enough for the knife to drop through.
 Bright and early the next morning he was out looking, but the hay was so thick he could not find it any
 place although he poked around all he could.
 He thought he would have to wait until the men went over the field with
 the big hay rakes and that would be day or so-
 At last one morning he woke and saw the men in the fields raking. Or he started and there almost at his feet was his knife.

 Paste for cosmetic gloves:

 Melt the wax in a granite wash ba- sin. add the myrrh while hot; beat thoroughly together, then stir in the honey and rosewater and sumclen- giycerine, little by little, to make q spreadab1e paste.
 = Do not wear tight gloves They destroy the entire grace and beauty of your hands The hand loses all it's expression and becomes sdull diod of woe and pain when cramped into an i'll shaped or tight glove; and be- sides tight gloves may cause a req nose and irregular heart action.

FOUGHT HIS poLL TAX.

The poll tax is constitutionaL This has been decided by Supreme Court Justice Trenchard, sitting at. Trenton
 A young man, socialist, made a test case. not so much in his own inter est as in the interest of an aggressive movement to resist this enormously burdensome tax of $1 a year. The young socialist and those back or him had constitutional right to test the constitutfonaIfty of the poll tax. and they have found that the Leg isiature has constitutional right to levy the tax. and those who refuse to pay it may be constitutiona1ly sent to jail for such refusal. unless they are paupers, and such incarceration is not
 cruel or unusual punishment" The decision not only leaves no excuse for the non payment of poll taxes, but it leaves none for the non-col1ection of News.
