The Evening Story
A Modern Romeo.
(By Louise 0liver.)

There was nothing the matter with
the Hon. Nosley Summers and no rea-
/ son In the world that could not have
been explained satisfactorily to the
1 Purity League, why he could not mak9

at 1888 in the morning.
| But such was the case. The key he
had supposed to be the right one was
too big. Then he tried each one on his
keyring. but none Of them fitted.
Finally he gave a vicious kick. A
man was passing and, hearing the kicks
and vocal explosions. he paused. Some
drunk trying to get into the Summers
house," he commented. "I'n Just wait
and see what he does. The family is
away"

Mr.. Summers recognized the young
man. A friend Of Dorothy's! 6mithson,
or Simpkins. or Stinson, or something
like that.
But, although Mr.. simpkins, or
Smithson or Stinson had several keys,
none happened to fit the lock Of tho
Summers's front door, nor the back
door, nor the side door! And needless
to say, tie house was locked as tight

figured Mr.. Summers weight at about

evening clothes for himself.

The whole country will rejoice in the
prosperity of Kansas and hope that this
prosperity Will appear in the income tax
collections soon. The people OF Kansas,
like those of some Of the Southern States,
have insisted on having a federal income
tax. and some Of them have been suspl-
cious that the people in the East would
not make complete returns.
But New York has come forward with
the payment OF $l2,523.000 or little less
than one-half the total income tax col
lected. Illinois has paid more than 5000

GREAT ASPHALT LAKE

The proverb about the folly of building
on sand might be rewritten to include the
vicinity of the Trinidad asphalt lake.
This remarkable body of pitch is perhaps
the nearest thing to the goose which
laid the golden egg that has ever been
found, for It has the obliging faculty Of
replacing during the night the asphalt
which has been dug from It's surface
during the day. That the replenishment
comes from somewhere" was graphically
illustrated short time ago. when a house
located near the edge Of the lake began
settling on one side, not to stop until
the digging of pitch In that vicinity ceas-
ed. The pitch Is dug laboriously from the
lake by negroes, using pick and shovel.
and is carried on an overhead tramway
directly to the waiting ships. The inven-
ton of an electrical cutter for the pitch
is expected greatly to facilitate and
cheaper the handling of It. says the Wide
World The lake Is owned by an Am
erican company, which also operates in
Venezuela.
