MANY WITH LARGE INCOMES
In the City Of Philadelphia There Are
\. More Rich Men Than In CHI
capo or Boston.

Last year four men in this district
paid tax on incomes of over $1,000,
900, remarks a writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Seven others worried
along On from $500,000 to $1,000,000
Philadelphia and this suburban terri
tory had Ito persons whose incomes
exceeded 100000 In England and
Scotland combined there are only 800
persons whose yearly income exceeds
$4,000, but Philadelphia and these
eight neighboring counties had 506
persons enjoying incomes Of that size
last year. Now that 20 per cent gain
about which Collector Lederer IN
formed me will likely advance about
zoo more persons into that $4,000 OK
elusive set. We reside In ons OF the
very wealthiest spots on earth. Why.
there are nine states in the Union
which do not have a solitary individ-
ual with an income of even 100000.
No wonder they favor high tax on
big incomes
Collector Lederer also told me that
Philadelphia mas many more very rich
men than either Chicago or Boston.
Those cities, however, show large
number OF men earning fairly big sal
aries. All Massachusetts is in the Bos-
tor district, and Is counties are en-
brsced with Chicago In that district,
against only eight counties included
with Philadelphia, so that city com
parfsons are not conclusive. This year
we will have about 10000 income tax
payers in the Philadelphia district.
Last year there we're not quite $4,000.
Only one state exceeds Pennsylvania
in the roll OF those who contribute di-
rectly to Uncle Sans support. APP
proxinately one person in ten who
pays an income tax resides in Penn
sylvania. We had just short OF $4,000
out of the 1000 In the United States

Bells Notify Of crIme.

Pittsburgh has put its old bell III
the city hall to new use. Whenever
crime is committed within five miles
of the seat of municipal government
three resounding whacks are bestowed
upon the bell and all policemen within
hearing get into immediate connection
with headquarters.
Perhaps the scheme win work in
Pittsburgh, but in Chicago 1t would
be one continuous chime. Possibly
an extra deep bass bell would have to
be Installed to record any unusual rush
Of depredations 1T that it might be
OF benefit. Citizens would be con
stantly awakened to problems Of city
government and Of law enforcement
and our public morality would have a
constant measure of its failings.-Chi-

Friendship With Man Who Per-

Away back In the days when Miller
was preaching the near end OF the
world there were two men living in
Lawrenceville, Pa, neighbors, who
may be named Brown aud Jones' who
were like unto Jonathan and David,
Jones was chicken fancier4 Both,
like most people in that day, discussed
Millerism. One Saturday night Brown,
who had read somewhere that If
pointed stick were dipped in oil any
thing written with 1t on an egg and
with the egg held to the fire the writ
Ing would remain indelible. Brown
wrote on an egg THE world viii come
to an end on October 20, 1874" the
day Miller had stated, and placed the
egg in one of Jones nests. expecting
Jones would come to him as soon as
he found 1t and after a good laugh
he would tell how 1t was done.
But Jones, as soon as he could get
his clothes on, rushed to the home OF
Rev. Richard Lea. Tie news spread
like wildfire and persons coming tc
town to church carried it and all Sun
day there was throng calling on
Jones to see the egg. Brown viewed
the crowd with much-troubled mind
and at last he went to Jones and told
the story. Never after that did Jones
speak to Brown.

Roman numerals are all right for a rainy

public place, where the reader stands a good
chance Of being run over by dray if he spends
more than fifty seconds in their perusal, is not
in keeping with the efficiency Of the age. If
for no other reason than the extra space they
take, involving more marble, more Of the cut
ters time and wear and tear on his instru-
ments, not TO mention the big overhead, you
would think that Roman numerals would have
been abolished long ago.
Of course, they can be figured out If you're
good at that sort Of thing. By working on your
cuff and backs Of envelopes, you can translate
them in no time at al compared to the time
taken by a cocoon 10 change into butterfly, for
instance. AL you have TO do is remember that
"M1 stands for either "miIiun,' meaning thou

The significantly progressive title, "The
Book of Changes" Perhaps Mr.
Barnes and DR.. Butler, who are so
shocked at the thought of change in our
latter-day political life, never heard of
it. But we may be sure Miss Repplier
must have frowned over the title. Any
suggestion of change in our social
structure or ideas she opposes wittily
and vigorously.
Miss Repplier thinks We are growing
sentimental and soft-headed and are
losing our nerve. She is distrustful OF
us. She is distrustful of working peo-
pie and Nine. Montessori, of compulsory
insurance and minimum wage laws, OF
Investigations into social problems and
of our newer immigrants. Considering

population outnumbers the natives, she

born. "He'H never make a living" said
the practical monkeys. Thus they went

they have produced the skyscrapers and
the subway, the wireless telegraph and
Coney Island, Bryan and Bergson, Wells

marine and the forty-two-centimetre
gun. In short, the result Of their revolu-
ton has become all that we have and
are.

Obviously Miss Repplier doubts

about one class of women she has no
