Two Hundred and Fifty Stories.

And every story good one. They are entertaining, but that is not all you can say about them. You know there is hardly periodical published that is not full of time. wasting stories, but not single story in The Youth s Companion is time waster. Take the stories of c. A. Stephens. It would be hard to- pick out one from which you cannot learn something useful and yet entertaining.
 Some of The Companion stories re- fresh your knowledge of geography some tell you the mysteries of chemis- try, some reveal the secrets of forestry and of general farming. They cover a wide range. They are chosen with an eye to the possible likings of every member of a Companion family stories of vigorous action and stirring adventure for boys. stories of college life and domestic vicissitudes for girls, stories that range all the way from sheer drollery to deep seriousness for men and women. There are no stories quite like those in The Companion.

Con.

In order to secure the support of the women taxpayer the sutfragists declare that it is unjust to tax women when they do not vote. The suffragists for get that there are thousands of men in tho United States who pay taxes and yet can not vote. As a matter of fact. the taxpaying woman in Connecticut is far better off now than she would be if women voted in this state.
 Less than 10 per cent of the women of this country are taxpayers. Sui fragists are noT demanding the ballot for taxpaying women alone; they de. mand that nine women who do not pay taxes shall vote in order that the tenth woman who does pay taxes may vote. But the vote of that tenth woman will not decrease her taxes or help to direct how her taxes shall be spent, for the other Iine women who do not pay taxes will have a chance to vote against her. ill every state where women have been given the ballot, taxes have increased. This is partly because of the increased cost of elections but mainly because it is the rule that when you increase the number of non-ta paying voters you increase the number of people who. have no financial interest ill keeping the taxes loW.
 Let every taxpaying woman, then. remember that woman suffrage means higher taxes on her property: let every taxpaying man remember that woman surffage means higher taxes on his property; and let us all remember that higher taxes mean increased cost of living for everyone, taxpayer or not.
