A Poem a Day

WINTER.
The day had been calm and sunny
day.
And tinged with amber was the
sky at even,
The leecy clouds at length had rolled
away,
And lay in burrows ON the eastern
heaven
The moon arose and shed "A glimmer-
And round her orb "A misty circle lay.
The hosr- frost glittered on the
naked heath,
The roar OF distant winds was loud
and deep,
The dry leaves rustied In each pass
ing breath,
And the gay world was lost in
quiet sleep.
such was the time when. on the
landscape brown.

came down.
The morning came. the dreary morn.

And showed the whitened waste.

TIMELY BUMPER CROPS.

That two bumper crop years In America
should come In succession impresses one with
the marvellous good fortune OF the country In
agriculture. Substantially the same thing hap
pened In 1879 and 1880. at a most critical mo-
ment In the economic and financial life Of the
nation Since the Civil the United States
had been a paper money basis, and congress
had finally enacted law providing that special
payments should be resumed In January 1, 1879.

The next time you are tempted to
overdress. please call 10 mind the
old proverb. Fine feathers do not
make fine birds" II holds true In
the world of humans, just as II does
in the kingdom OF birds.
Also there is-or should be-a
corollsry proverp which holds true
In both the bird aud the human do
main: Zine feathers do not fool
wise biras." Discerning men and
women are well aware that the per
son who overdresses Is as rule
capable Of doing little except dress
ing gorgeously.
Carelessness In dress, Of course,
Is not to be praised or encouraged.
The person careless about his ap-
pearance is commonly a person OF

THE DEVILS COUNCIL
sv Or. FRANK CRANE
(Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

-
Once, according to an old legend,
there was council called in. hell. The
Devil was much concerned over a new
kind Of creature called Man with whom
God was populating the Earth. AS it
was his chief aim In life to oppose and
undo the works of God, he was now cast
ing about to find the best way to ruin
Man.
His seven head imps were therefore
summoned, and he inquired of them who
would undertake to destroy this race of
human beings.
First came Anger. red-faced and fire.
eyed. and offered himself. 'I.et me
CO." he said, ito Earth and ! will de-
stroy Men quickly. will set brother
against brother, magnify trifes to seri-
Gus quarrels. Hate and violence will
soon bring murder in the house and war
in the fields. So shall the race be ex-
tinguished."
Then up spoke Lust. Rather send
me-" he argued. IL will defile their
minds and bring disease to their bodies.
! will pervert this generation and en-
feeble the next True love shall disapG
pear. Woman shall be shorn of her up
lifting influence. Men shall lose self-re-
spect. They shall all turn again into
beasts"
Then stepped forward Greed. "All
that Anger and Lust would do crudely
will do subtly. / will instil into Mems
hearts the most destructive of passions.
Natural affection will disappear. for
parents and children will be set against
each other. The strong will oppress the
weak. Each nation will cOvet the others
possessions. And soon men, families,
and countries shall destroy each other
in mad desire for each others goods"
Mine" said Sloth, would be the
simplest and easiest way. Let me infect
the people and they shall cease to work.
Ambition and progress will cease Their
lands shall grow up in weeds. 1t will
not be long before they shall sink into
savagery and the wild beasts will devour
them"
Would not our work be quicker?"
asked Gluttony and Drunkenness. I'VE
would quickly bring the race of Men to
ruin. BY US they would gorge them
selves with food until their bodies were
diseased and their minds besotted. They
would drink of strong liquors until they

fury. They will fight without cause.
They will commit all manner of crimes
without provocation. The race will van
ish in stupor or in orgies"
'If you are desirous Of corrupting
mankind" said Envy, would not my
services be of most use? For once let
Men suspect and hate one another and
universal discord would follow"
81 have heard you all" said Beelzebub.
But where is Idleness. She sleeps
somewhere. Go find and waken her"
Forthwith was Idleness, fat and un-
clean. brought into the royal presence.
What can you do to destroy Man?"
inquired the master.
Nothing" replied Idleness, yawning.
Nothing at ALL

answer Is an inheritance and income

heritances shall automatically in

the masses OF the people are will
ing to do the fighting for this coun-
try. the possessors OF great fortunes
should be willing to pay their share
OF the bills incident to war and
preparation for war
Mr.. Keating said he would not
favor reducing the limit OF the pres
ent income tax exemption so as to
include salaries down 10 $4,000. The
present limit is $4,000 for unmarried
men. He said the tax should be
raised on those with the large in
comes.
The plan I have suggested" he
continued, 'is very simple one. II
involves the creation Of the treas
ury department OF fund to be
known as the national defense :uad
to be dedicated to the support OF
the army and navy. This would be
made up OF contribution of $50
million dollars from general reven-
ues. and the remainder needed for
army and navy would be secured by
the imposition OF an Inheritance tax
and an income tax.
For 'fe present" he said. this
would involve raising about 300 mil
lion dollars year by tax on In
comes and inheritances. This
would be a very moderate tax. In
England, before war was declared.
as large a sum was being received
from the same sources. although
England's wealth Is not half as
great ,as ours: so under my plan the
tar on wealth would be only one
half OF what is was in England be-
fore the war.
"If at any future time we needed
more money for army and navy. my
income and Inheritance taxes.
THE men who would be affected
by these taxes are the most jnfiu-
entail In the nation. ! confidently
expect them to come forward and
assume this burden which they are
SO able to bear. instead Of con-
senting TO allow II. to be shifted by
means of taxes on what the people
eat and wear. onto those less able
to bear II. believe them when
they assert that they are patriots.
and that their only interest In pre-
paredness is the patriotic interest
Of safeguarding the country from In
vasion. They should be willing. and
I believe they are willing. to bear
their share OF the burden.
IL win vote for the presidents pro
gram OF preparedness. provided the
cost Of Il shall be borne very large
