DANGER.

In few days the new revenue bill will
be in force and we take this opportunity to
caution all citizens to be careful not to VIC
late its provisions. A revenue stamp or tax
of some kind is required for number of
articles, in fact you will be taxed every time
you turn around. Space in the Journal is
too limited to give full details of the mea-
sure which, in addition to levying the taxes,
provides penalties for the violation of the
law. Merchants, druggist and saloon men
should acquaint themselves with this law
before December LIST. Many documents and
instrument require stamps. Ignorance of
the law will be no excuse. So get busy and
find out how it affects you. May be when
you get familiar with this new way of max
ing the rich manpay taxes, you will be more
weary of similar schemes. Under your in
come tax measure it has developed that the
rlch men did not have nearly as much
revenue as was figured and that the money
derived therefrom is inadequate to meet the
demands of an economical administration.
The petty nuisances that will follow in the
wake Of this new revenue measure will per-
hans open the eyes of some of the voters.
If it acconplisheS this, it Will be money well
Spent. Suspend business and discuss consti-
tutional law until you get posted.

LOUISIANA TRAPPERS AND The
SAINT LOUIS FUR MARKET

Statements have recently been
issued by a large firm of fur
dealers in Saint Louis that Il
ready market for Louisiana furs
is. open there and that cash prices
only slightly below the average
will be paid for all shipments.
Price lists are now beng sent
out by this firm. and the trap
pers should be informed at an
early date Of just what they may
expect, and whether the prospects
Justify their engaging regularly
in the business during the cont
ing months of the open season.
The Conservation Commission
is notifying It's agents to com
municatc with as many trappers
as possible, and give them direct
assurances of the actual state Of
affairs in the fur business. 1t Is
the opinion of the members of
the Commission that the state
mentS of the Saint Louis dealers
are undoubtedly correct. While
prices are naturcly depressed
somewhat by the European stu
alton, it is unreasonable t. sup
pose that a traffic as well eStab-
lished in this country Us the fur
business would be entirely para
lyzed by the difficulty of export
action. The demand for furs is
general, AMI the adjustment ne
ccssary between exporters and
importers Will soon he accom-
pliShed. The Commission point :

hest Indication in the W rid that
conditions are not seriously dis

About two thirds of the Amer
lean atch of furS is exported to
Europe, but there is an almost
equal quantity Of foreign fur@
imported into this country, which
puts the fur trade un compare

THANKSGIVING.

The Journal offers apologies to its read
ers for its inability to get out it's usual
Thanksgiving proclamation. Having been
invited out for dinner en- this great day we
are free to admit that since then we have
suffered cons erable indisposition. The
Editor who leads a sedate, serious and
temperate life should be extremely cautious
on occasions ike this. No normal man is
capable Of accommodating himself to the good
things lavished on him at single sitting,
and he mist lament poigaantly the fac5
that such cannot be spread out over period
Of eight Or ten days.
Handicapped thus, wecan ony Join with
our readers in offering thanks for the many
blessings that we have enjoyed and express
the hope that before the day again comes
around that these blessings will have been
augmented many times.

The Times-Picayune discusses editoriaiy
the relative duty Of parents and OF teachers
in the handling Of children Attention is
called to the charge by the teachers that the
parents neglect their duty towards the
children and counter charges are made that
the teachers are also to blame. The subject
is one Of delicacy and we think that the
Press should keep hands off. It's duty lies
in pouring oil on the troubled waters. Aside
from remarking that there are quite num-
Der of parents who should get good, long
Jail sentences for the manner in which they
raise their children, we nave nothing to say.
The same penalties should attach to such
parents as would apply to the citizens who
turned out vicious animal to annoy his
neighbors. We reiterate that the matter IS
one OF delicacy and one that should be
handled with notherly tenderness.

The High Cost-of-Living experts have

Harvie Jordan has come to. He IS

Company. Now is the oppOrtune time to
get in the work. We would like to see
large amount of this theoretical farming
finished up before the spring planting sea-
son. In fact we think that it should be
gotten off hand before the practical season
is on us. The theoretical crop should be
harvested by this time ard farmers should
take time to do some blowing, planting and
other necessary work.
The TensaS Gazette suggests, that
Governor Hall publish in advance an outline
OF his proposed tax and assessment reform
laws. so that the people can understand
them. The last scheme was defeated by the
people because it leaked OFT that the mea-
sure had been prepared by prominent law
yers. This should never happen again. All
measures proposing change in our constl-
tuSion should be submitted to a special
committee. The personnel Of this commit
tee should be made up OF farmers, black
smiths, mechanics and the like. No import
ant work like this should be trusted to
lawyers, but should be turned over to men
who know what the people need and who
can be trusted to fix things up right. The
people are already on to the influence Of the
lawyers in connection with past legislation
and hereafter they will see to it that their
influence is curtailed.

happened to meet.
Now the strange and sinister part
of the story is that they did meet.
Emmett was as bad as ever, and if his
years had added discretion that had
only mellowed his vices. On the
third night of Minna's appearance 1
saw him watching her from the box
in which he was seated with some
flashily dressed women and couple
of fellow FOUNDERS" He stared and
stared; and his face grew white. Was
this Minna-this the country girl
whom he had tricked into a spurious
marriage and cast off like a discard
ed garment as soon as he grew tired
of her?
Parenthetically may say that Min
ma herself told me what did not see
for myself; she told it to me after
ward, when we had become friends s.
Minna and 1 and Pop"
He wrote hasty note and sent it
to her by the usher. l did not know
then that he had written to her; but |
was watching Minna through my
glasses, and l saw that when she
danced that night for the second
time, instead of smile, her face wore
the aspect of tragedy.
And was there anything worse a
good woman could experience than to
have this wretch come into her life |
again? That is, if Minna was good. |
And there are always tongues ready |
to SANDER a woman who. earns her
living on the stage.
AS she left the theater Emmett was
standing beside her auto. Pop" Kup-
fel was numbering along, little in
front of her. He had no manners. He |
just got into the auto and waited |
for his wife to join him there.
Minna knew the fellow instantly. |
He put his hand on her arm. Min
na-don't you know me?" he asked.

him her address quickly. Then she
went on. And Emmett, though he
was scowling, had to remain content.
The memory of her, the reflection
that he had lost her through, his own
GROWING folly, burned in his brain.
But he meant to win her again-this
divine woman who had given herself
to him, whose life he had wrecked.
How easy it would be, he thought,
to feign repentance, to tell her he had
sought her. -. His mind was busy
during the next three days.
Minna had not said a word to
'Pop." Why? Well, / think there is
an instinct in the best women to want
to test their husbands. mean that
all the advantages of the union, in
this case, were on Kupfers side. Min
ma had money, beauty, youth sand
health, and he was only a bald and fat
old Dutchman who had once been
kind to her when she was in distress.
He had picked her up out of the gut
ter. And he. was her husband. There
was something to balance against
what, she contributed to the mar
rage, but it was not as much. Per-
haps Minna wanted to show her hus-
band what she had given up for him.
And perhaps she wanted to see how
the two men would act. But l am
sure she had no intention of being
false to Pop"
Minna frequently had guests on
Sunday afternoons, and Pop" who
shene mainly in more conviyial So
ciety, always retired on such occa-
sions to the kitchen, where, with his
pipe and a bottle of beer, he would
sit in his shirtsleeves, his feet upon
the table, reading ''Fliegende Blaet-
ter" and laughing as heartily over the
jokes as though he had never heard
a joke before. On this occasion he
withdrew as soon as the visitor was
announced. Minna had taken care
