the way their temperaments were built
But the small old man wasn't noticing.
He just sidled up to the woman's coat
And while he was making himself per-
fectly comfortable, he talked
He was the father of ten children and
right smart old for his years-he never
let any cold get in his house, which made
1t hard for him when he had to go out
and 1t certainly was a fine morning to
snuggIe up, wasn't it,
All the time he was babbling on the
woman inside the coat grew more fiushy
and gaspingly indignant. until-just as the
passengers saw she wasn't going to toler-
ate the indignity another instant-some-
thing happened inside the soul of the
woman who was inside the coat
She had caught an idea. God love her,
that radiated her face with that express
sion We call "motherly." regardless of
sex. age or conjugai condition, because
it is the most beautiful expression in the
world.
Perhaps she had accepted the humor OF
the situation. Perhaps, again. she recog-
nized that nature had touched the brain
Of the small old man, and said to him:
Go back to childhood and stay there
until-the end
Anyhow, he kept on smuggling
Which shows how downright splendid
a woman can be-when she knows how.

FOO[PROOF CANAL
HOPE OF BUILDERS
Safe Navigation of Great
Waterway Has Been Pro-
vided For.
PANAMA. February L., 1914.

PANAMA, FeDFuary L., 1913.
When the Panama. canal is completed
and the first ship is piloted through from
Cristobal to Balboa or the other way, it
will be as near ''foolproof'' as 1t is pos
sible to make 1t. In every possible way
has the safe navigation of the great
waterway been provided for by the con-
struction of almost countless aids to navi-
cation. --..
The first thing the pilot Of an incoming
vessel sees ahead of him as he reaches
the entrance of the canal is a huge light
tower. which, in conjunction with an
other points the way toward the first set
of locks at either end. On either side of
him as he proceeds he finds innumerable
lighted and unlighted buoys and beacons
that indicate the limits of the channel.
The locks themselves will be as bril-
liantly lighted as the Great White Way
Itself, and the passage of large snip,
herself brilliantly lighted from stem to
stern with electricity, is expected to be-
come one of the most spectacular fea-
lures of an interocean voyage. Then
comes the passage through the canal,
with It's numerous range light towers on
either bank. its beacons and buoys all
of them showing either a white, red or
green light.
There are along the canal twenty. acety-
lene-lighted range towers, twelve electric
lighted ones, forty-five archaeological
beacons. three acetylene-lighted bcacons
and about fifty-seven acety1ene-lghted
buoys. The range lights mark line Is
feet on either side of the middle of the
channel, forming a lane $50 feet wide.
Floating OH the water along the side lines
of the channel are the acetylene buoys,
and on the shore, marking the various
tangents Of the channel, are the lighted

A Bad Year for Dolls.

From the Manchester Guardian.
This has been a terrible year for dolls.
It is taken for granted that they will be
badly treated. and even the most costly
of them are deliberately packed away In
safety trunks among their own trousseau
in evident anticipation Of impending fatal
accidents and a deep-seated mistrust Of
the maternal instincts Of the little girls

Doubt Over Income Tax.

Canal workers are anxiously waiting
to hear definitely from Washington as to
whether they will have to nav an in
come tax There is no one within the
zone who is prepared to give official in
formation on the point, not even the
law department of Col. Tom Cook, col
lector of customs for the zone The law
department. however. points out that the
canal territory has been declared, by no
less an authority than the United States
Supreme Court. as not a part Of United
States territory. Frank Feuille, chief
legal Officer Of the zone, has told many
inquiries that the Canal Zone is not
mentioned in the new income tax law
With March ! set as the date for MAX
ing returns to income tax collectors in
the United States, the canal worker is
impatient to learn his status. If he is
to be required to pay the tax he is
also wondering whether 1t will be
withheld at the source, which in most
cases is the War Department.

Light on Toro Point.

The approach to Colon harbor, on the
Atlantic side. is lighted by the main light
on Toro point which is visible eighteen
miles or more on clear night Then
there are the beacons on the seaward
ends of the two-and-one- alf-mile break
water that protects the harbor from the
high seas that usually run in the At
lantic.
On the Pacific end of tho canal there
are numerous buoys and beacons besides
the range lights that indicate the canal

marked by can buoys, but also about
sixty spar-buoyS and the many concrete

Fight Over Minimum Amount.

The fight in parliament over the new
bill was almost entirely upon the amount
of the minimum annual income liable to
taxation. Under the old law the tax
began upon incomes as small as $40
year. The social democrats. or socialist
party. urged that it was a great in
justice to subject wage-earners with
such small incomes TO the tax, even
though it amounted to $50 year,
especially i'll view Of the enormous IN
crease which has taken place IN the
cost of living since the present scale OF
income taxation was fixed seventeen
years ago. The socialists demanded that
the minimum income should be fixed at
SGD. \ compromise was finally reached
establishing the minimum income liable
10 taxation at $50
In addition To the half million or more
taxpayers who will escape assessment
altogether the new law also will benefit
the working classes generally since 1t
provides where wife and children are
working their earnings will not be reck-
oned in with those at the head of the
family for assessment except in case
the wife and children earn more than
$50 year
An instance of the increase which will
affect the Weather classes may be stud
led in the case OF a merchant with an in
come of S1o,0tO now paying tax amount
ing to S2;,2. The new law puts him up to
S421. aud if he happens to be a bachelor
he must pay $3.50. an increase of 10 per
cent on his former taxation.
Professional men and business men with
incomes of more than 5000 are liable to
a special industry tax which in some
cases may mean that 9 or 10 per cent of
the total income is paid away in taxes
Emperor Consents to Dance.
Emperor Francis. Joseph has decided to
meet the demand for court festivities with
an evening dance at the palace at Schoen-
bruun. but he has refused to countenance
the idea of renewing the court ball in the
Holburg in Vienna. At the age of eigh-
ty-four years the emperor finds a court
ball too great strain, for it involves
drive in the middle of the night back to
the palace at Schoenbrunn, since the EN-
peror's usual sleeping apartments in the
JIofburg are not suitably heated in win
ter. There has been no court ball for
three Years and society's hope that they
will ever be renewed during the life of
the aged emperor is now abandoned.
The soiree dansante at the Schoenbrunn
was only a concession to the demand for
an opportunity to present to his majesty
the wives of the diplomats. including Mrs.
Frederick Courtland Penfield. wife of the
American ambassador. and also Of those
younger women of the aristocracy who
have become eligible for attendance at
court during the past three Years
The emperor is reported in health. Not
withstanding his increasing years he has
begun this year by putting in longer
working day. He now rises 1T half-past
3 instead of o'clock every morning and
is at his desk before dawn. He has
light breakfast at i and then works
steadily until noon with only half an
hours walk in his private ground to re-
Heye his work. At ; O'Clock all the lights
In his private apartments arc out and he
has retired for the night.

VIENNA. February

VIENNA, February L., 1914
After parliamentary wrangle con-
tinuing over a year the new income tax
bill has been finally passed and the Aus
trian taxpayer finds himself in SYM
patty with the American citizen in fig
uring out the worst that can befall him
under the terms of the new tax.
The taxing of incomes is not a new
thing in Austria, but the revised system
has so many new points that it will prac-
tically be beginning all over again. The
new law will exempt altogether more
than half million of the present tax
payers but will so raise the rate of taxa
tion all around that an increased revenue
may result The chief improvement is
in favor of the poor man; the new bur-
dens fall heaviest upon the bachelors.
and persons without children and persons
with incomes of more than $1,000 a year
The bachelor tax requires that such
persons having nobody depending upon
them will have to pay 10 per cent add
tional on the amount of their income tax.
Also persons having only one other to
provide for. such as married persons
without children. will be required TO pay
an additional 10 per cent.
