certain commissioners Of the income tax in
England in the last century. He had, in the
pride Of his heart, returned his income as
five hundred pounds yearly. The COM

ments must bring him in twice or thrice that
annual sum. Here is his account:

John Jay, better known as Butch
McDevitt, OF "millionaire-for-a- a day
fame, may have a nice little parade
up and down Pennsylvania avenue
February 3, when he comes to Wash
ington from his home, In Wilkes
Barre, Pa, in the hope of being i'm
mortalized by presenting the nation
with a statue of himself, which he
wants placed in a niche in Statuary
Hall.
Major sylvester said today that Un-
der the law any citizen could have a
permit to parade on the streets of

necessary have been obtained, accord
ing to Mrs. Walter McNab Miller, of

Equal Suffrage Association.
Many people have the wrong idea
of woman suffrage" said Mrs. Miller.
Missouri women are not going into
this campaign with any feding of an
tagonism. We feel that the men have
too much to do. We have been ask

Pope Sees Tango, Calls
Dance Sad and Gloomy

Venetian dance that I often saw in
my youthful days and which is at
once elegant, merry, and graceful.
1t is called La Furiana.
The prince and his cousin asked,
greatly surprised: La Furiana?"
What exclaimed Plus X; you
don't know La Furiana?'
The Pope suddenly arose and be-
gan to indicate with gestures the
harmonious evolutions of La Fur
ana, as danced not only by the
gOndoIiers and the people, but by
Venetian partricians. The Pope eX-
planned that La Furiana was danced
in couples with uplifted arms and
then with alterations of groups of
couples. The measure is vivacious
and slow by turns. the music being
inspiring and harmonious.
The prince and his cousin at once
set about to learn La Furiana. Che
Waller Richetti, director of the Ro-
man Academy of the Dance, is col
lecting all the variations of the old
music of the Venetian Furiana,
which, now launched by the per-
sonal authority Of the Pope, is be
coming the vogue in Rome, where,
according to LIE Temps, it has COM
pletely supplanted the tango, and,
judging from the enthusiasm arous-
ed here by the news from the Vati-
can about the Pope's dance" Par
isian society seems Mkely to follow
the example set by Rome.

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Le Temps causes
a sensation by publishing news con-
cerning the Pope and the tango that
arouses enthusiasm. among the
dOwagers and the great ladies who
give tone to Partisan society.
According to the Vatican CORE
spondent, Pope Plus has made a
thorough investigation of reasons
that induced the Vicar of Rome and
other ecclesiastfcs to issue inhibi-
bitions against the tango.
Pope Piux X received two young
members Of the pontifcaI aristoc-
racy, a prince and his cousin, a
princess, who in a strictly private
audience danced the tango.
The Pope regarded the women with
astonishment, and said:
We'll, my children, you don't seem
to get much fun out Of il. It is a
sad and gloomy dance
But before allowing the couple to
go away, embarrassed as they were
with the pontifical irony. the Pope
said:
There is no reason why YOU
should not dance to your hearts con-
tent, but instead of adopting these
ridiculous barbarian contortions,
why don't you dance that delightful
