Fish Got Lighted CIaar.

Not only are the pickerel biting
ravenously at Little Creek pond, in
Sussex county, ~ j., but it was dis.
covered recently that these big fel.
lows have formed bad habit calling
for the corrective activities of our own
Doctor Pease.
John Avery, a cigarmaker; Edward
Martin, Jr., and Louis Rumsley, all
of Union Hill, went to the pond the
other day to fish. They had just cut
a hole in the ice and were batting
their hooks when Avery accidentally
dropped a lighted and salf-smoked
cigar into the hole.
Instantly, he said, big pickerel shot
to the surface and gulped the cigar.
A moment later Mr. Avery dropped his
hook and line into the hole and in a
few seconds there was violent tug
ging at the line. He pulled, and out
came a pickerel almost yard long.
AS Mr.. Avery started to pry his
hook from the big fellows mouth he
said he found his half-smoked cigar,
still lighted, in the pickerel's mouth.
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Rumsey confirmed
Mr. Avery's narrative, except they
weren't certain the cigar was lighted

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE:
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton win Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnotiCeable.

SO many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made Dy
Sir Thomas White. Canadian Minister
OF Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made II clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of ncor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits of unincorporated firms CT part.
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms viii have TO
contribute one.quarter to the Govern
ment Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other com
panies will be subject TO this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and com.
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In aGrl-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation The
only other additional taxation pro
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one.half cent a gallon Ia customs
duty on certain kinds Of oils.
II will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except perhaps through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases,
and ten per cent in others. of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. II will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay 1t, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by eXempting
farmers and stOck-Taisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertisement.

hiding places are easily found-neXt
April. With their peasants memo
ries, they will remember the exact
spot. They have not hidden a single
treasure under their homes or
churches. Some have chosen the mid

tween two trees or the very edge
of the muddy, unpaved street, or near
a horse pond, because all who enter
that village or town will use that
pond, and not one man will think to
dig the trodden soil around it for hid
den treasures, be it francs or -four.
More often they chose open country,
on their own little farms, in some
ditch marked by a big stone or on

Beecher of Puyallup was all that was
saved when the little house adjoining
the home of John s. Ellegood on South

old violin stored in small iron trunk
which had been given to her by her
father and which was priced as an
heirloom of the family

the trunk, but found it was too heavy
to drag out She ,.fted the lid, how
ever lifted out the violin and carried
