There's Yankee landlord on the

q summer hotel filled every year with
well-to-do guests from the cities, who
pay high prices for the wonderful
scenery and the good meals, philo-
sophically accepting the bleak rooms,
the shabby wallpaper, and the
threadbare upholstry. A New York
man asked him, toward the close of
his season, how he had been doing.

Yet she accepted him.
How little men understand the fem

tiers for nothing. She knew when a
thing is dear, and when it is cheap
a mighty sight better than he did.

COLD NIGHTS FILL JAIL
Blanket Boys Desert Jungles and TAX,
Lodging with Chief Copeland

The cold weather of the last
few days has brought a rushing
business to Hotel de Copeland,
some times vulgarly called the
city jail. The biggest rush of
the season was Tuesday evening
when sleeping accommodations
were furnished to seventeen
men, only one of whom took
lodging because he had to.
$50 far the hobos are giving
us but very little trouble" said
Chief Copeland. ''Most of them
are blanket boys who prefer the
Jail to jungles these cold nights.
Nearly all of them have enough
money to supply their actual
needs. Some of them, however,
are flat broke and really hungry.
These we have been furnishing
coffee and bread and find that it
works better than to let them hit
the back doors in the residence
district. We just give them the
ground coffee and they act as
their own chefs. It don't cost
much and it saves us a lot of

STOCK BROKERS
WILL NOT ESCAPE

!. washington, Sept t9.--Stock brok-
ers who have protested against a pro-
posed special tax of $50 a year will not
escape assessment. Democrats of the
ways and means committee determin-
ed yesterday to include them in the
war revenue bill which is now being
perfected. :.
Arguments that brokers should not
be taxed because stock exchanges now
are closed were not regarded as sufti-
cient to entitle brokers to exemption
inasmuch as it is probable that the
exchanges again will be operating be-
for the need for war revenue has
passed.
Perfection of the revenue bill was
not completed yesterday. Stamp tax
rates will be taken up today. Few
changes are contemplated In the
stamp tax rates as levied during the
Spanish h-American War. though the
matter of eliminating checks is still
undetermined. =.
The committee yesterday approved
the additional tax of so cents barrel
on beer, the tax of Q cents a gallon
on gasoline and the special taxes on
bankers, brokers and tobacco dealers.
It is proposed to ok the wine tax at IA
cents a gallon On dry wines and 20
cents on sweet wines. The matter was
left open, however, in order to give
the California wine growers. headed
by Theodore Abel, an opportunity to
file statement with the committee.

WAR CHALLENGE
TO CHRISTIAN

New York. Sept. 19.--It was an
nounced here that the Canadian coun-
Gil Of the Laymans Missionary move
ment recognizes that Christianity now
is on trial both at home and amons
the non Christian peoples Of the earth,
that the present war is a most serious
challenge to the Christian faith and to
the supremacy OF the Prince Of Peace.
Unless the church meets this challenge
with courage and self sacrifice and
triumphs over all difficulties she will
lose her claim to moral and spiritual
leadership among the nations Of the
earth.
"In view of this grave crisis. it's
effect upon Christian missions, and the
embarrassment of the work of the
constitutional missionary societies
through the ravages Of the present
war, a peculiar responsibility rests
upon the churches Of North America
to assist in meeting the situation.
tsThe Canadian council urges upon
every man the supreme Importance of
the present hour and resolves to go
forward with its work In the full as
srrance that God is able to overrule
the present distress and make the COM
ing year turning point in the religi-
Gus progress Of the world"

IS
CONFIDENT .
SAYS DUN

New York, Sept 1s.-Dun's Review
today says:
"Hesitancy in entering upon new
commitments continues and a spirit OF
caution is everywhere manifested, yet
the confident feeling in business circles
is maintained. Sentiment is strength
ened by developments in the financial
situation, favorable impression be-
ing created by the further improve
ment in foreign exchange and the ac-
ton taken with view to meeting ma
turing obligations abroad. Consider
able gold has already been shipped to
Canada for this purpose and it is evil
dent that banking interests here are
actively engaged in the effort to re-
store more normal monetary condi-
tions. The prevailing higher rates for
accommodation still exert a restrain
ing influence upon trade expansion, but
moderate progress is noted in various
leading lines, especially in the eastern
and western sections of the country.
