least, that is what he says he has
swore Off on, and I guess he means 1t
this time. It seems that he made fif-
teen dollars last week writing some
ads for new kind of soup that
comes in cans, and they told him that
they would give him more money
than that if he could turn out a GER
tain number of verses every week. He
always starts in counting his money
before he has IL in his mitt, and the
old man is always telling him not to
do that, but this time / think he Is a
little nearer to plain looney than he
has ever been over any one thing,
which is saying a whole lot. He says
that if he can get few more con-
Germs like this soup house on his staff
he will be getting the dough SO fast
he can't spend it"
Il shouldn't think that poet like
your brother would want to do any
thing so common as to write soup
ads" said the Head Barber.

the Manicure Lady. He used to think
that he would be satisfied just to
write poems for the people that come
after him to appreciate, but the old
gent told him there wasn't a chance
for any of the stuff he wrote to live
longer than housefly, who when he
got the fifteen bucks | suppose he fig

soup you wanted to advertise:

Is canned and sold by p T. Clancy"

said the Manicure Lady, land Wilfred
figures that It ought to sell quite a
lot Of soup. Here is another he wrote
for the Clancy people;

dence.
The result was disappointing. My
husband smiled rather condescend-
lngly, and though Alma praised me
beyond measure | saw that she was
secretly laughing as she said:
Our Margaret Mary is coming out,
isn't she?'
Nevertheless I persevered. Without
too much preparation for so perilous
an enterprise, I threw myself into
the gayeties Of Cairo, attending polo
matches, race meetings, picnics at the
pyramids, dances at the different ho-
tells, and on the island of Roda.

| daresay it was all very weak and
very childish, but | really think my
last attempt, if rather ridiculous, was
also very pitiful.
Toward the end Of our stay the pro-
prietors of the hotel gave a cotillion
, AS this was the event Of the season
and nearly every woman was giving a
dinner in honor of it, resolved that I,
too, would give one, inviting the gay
est of the gay acquaintances I had
made in Cairo.
Feeling that it would be my last
battle, and that so much depended
upon it, l dressed myself with fever

which was cut lower than I had ever
worn before, with slippers to match. a
| tight band of pearls about my throat
and another about my head.
When Price had finished dressing
me. she said:

body else in the world tonight,

The compliment was a crude one

sIxTY-THREE CENTS FOR WAR.

The considerable number of citi zens who are reached by the income tax will be interested in some de ductions of Ray Stannard Baker in the current number of the American magazine They will be even more interested, probably, if they apply the deductions to themselves.
 For example, Baker finds, out of every dollar collected by the U. S. government in taxes, 63 cents is spent for war That is to say, that pro- portion of the entire expense of gov ernment is due to the army, the navy and the pensions that result from past wars.
 Now we'll say you are one of those successful citizens whose incomes reach $3,000. That means, if you are unmarried, that you pay $30 a year income tax.
 For war you, personally, are spend ing $18.90 a year.
 Surprises you, doesn't it?
 If you are married man and have been goaded by the high cost of liv- ing until you've raised your income up to $4,O00, you are paying $40 a year income tax.
 For war you are spending s25.20 a year.
 However, there still remains 37 cents out of every dollar to be de- voted to other purposes. Three cents of it has been going into the build ing of the Panama canal. If you are one of the $3,O0O bachelors you've paid 90 cents toward building the ca nal If you are one of the $4,0O0 family men you've paid $1.2O on the canals cost. In either event you don't begrudge the money, do you? Some of you probably would have preferred that the 63 cents had gone into the canal and the three cents into war expenses.
 Four cents out of each 100 cents goes for agricultural improvements.
 And there is where some income tax paying citizens are going to stop and think. Sixty-three cents for war; four cents for farming!

ILLINOIS GIRLS
 JET FULL VOTE

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The women of Illinois will undergo their first real test as a political factor in the com ing campaign. In the April elections they voted only for city officers, but on November 3 they will have the additional privilege of voting for county, state and national officers.
 The officers for whom the elector- ate of the whole state will vote are:, State treasurer, superintendent of public instruction, clerk of the su- preme court, three trustees of the University of Illinois and United States senator. All counties and sev- eral cities will provide several offices to be filled.
 The municipal elections last spring afforded little opportunity for profess sional politicians to get line on the womens voting strength, as one al- derman was elected from each ward and women voted for different can didates, even when voting for the same party. The fall campaign which is just getting under way, will per init the women to combine in SUD- port of certain candidates, and it is very probable their votes will decide the fate of many aspirants for the various offices.
