From newsboy to proprietor of a
large book and stationery establish
ment is a big jump; but not so big
when you consider that the fellow who
made the jump has been in training
for several years.
Wagner Hoffman, who has been SELL
ing newspaper at the corner of Third
and Walnut streets for fourteen years,
quits tomorrow and on Monday opens
up the book and stationery store at
43S Market street as owner-sole pro-
prietor. 'Wag" was able to make
the jump because he kept himself in
training during those fourteen years.
With him the business of selling news
papers was evidently as worthy of
applying sound principles as one
Schwab considers them in the steel
business, for he did just that, and as a
result has joined the ranks of sue
cessful businessmen.
Hoffman purchased the store to-day
from his brother, J. B. Hoffman.
In the fourteen years "Wag" has
been on the corner he has sold thou
sands and thousands of copies of the
Harrisburg Telegraph. He has a wide
acquaintance among the politicians of
the State and has regularly supplied
four Governors with his wares. "Gov-
ernor Tener was my best friend" !"

CHOOSES BETWEEN
MONEY AND WIFE
$4,000 and a Cal. Ranch Look
ed Good and Pa. Man
Took It
By DOROTHY DIX

A poor young man in Pennsylvania
has recently had to make choice be-
tween money and matrimony. A wo-
man-hating relative died and left him
comfortable little fortune on the con-
dition that he would never wed. The
youth was engaged to a girl. but he
promptly discarded her and qualified
as a perpetual celibate under the will.

heart, but. oh, you, plunks"
The young mans decision was a
sordid but perhaps natural one. Fifty
thousand dollars and California
ranch = the amount of the legacy -
would look might good TO most i'm
pecunious youths. Besides which, a
man might well argue that wife Is an
expensive luxury anyhow SO In accept y =
would save money both ways--coming
or course, on the other hand. it may
be said that fifty thousand dollars and
ranch are a pretty poor price Tor

and the happiness of home. and of hav-
ing little children about ones knees.
What Money Doesn't Buy
Never to have any love but the
mercenary love of mercenary women!
shelter of bachelor quarters! Never to
against your breast! What lands OF
money can pay man for missing
why, the, chief good that man gets
out of money Is the pleasure of spend
ing it on those he loves. and If you
take away those from him his gold is
counterfeit coin. 1t is not legal tender
at the Mart of Happiness.
Why does man want to buy jewels,
and soft silks. and filmy laces? To
deck out the woman he loves. Why
does he want to build beautiful and
luxurious houses? To make fitting

him.
What Money Buys
Eliminate these and what does a
mans money buy him? The indulgence
of vices that scar the soul and kill the
body. A few suits of clothes, each
exactly like the other. The Indifferent
comforts of hotel or club, and the So
ciety of fat and tedious old FOUNDERS,
telling endless stories about them
selves. When he is sick = the minis
trations of a hired nurse. When he
grows old, the paralyzing conscious
ness settling about his heart that he
has lived unloved, and will die un-
wept
1t is not a gay life, that of the old
bachelor. and the foolish youth who
has traded off his sweetheart and his
rightNto marry for a few thousand dol
lars has sold his birthright for a mass
of pottage that will set heavily on his
stomach many time in the long, lone
ly years of the future.
For the trut his that we can buy
fleeting pleasure with money, but we
cannot purchase abiding happiness with
the peace of the soul, from the salts

size. This has been done by the SEN
ator in order to win support for it
among legislators who would not sup
port the statewide bin because they
did not want to disturb the collectors
in their own counties
"The bill is in the interest of good
government. 1t will save the people
of Dauphin county manyp thousands
of dollars year." said Senator Bel
"The system no win use here is OBJ
solete and costly. The receivership
plan would work no hardship to any
body but would prevent thousands OF
dollars of county taxes being fritter-
ed away each year in collectors COM
missions. I have every reason to be-
lieve it will pass. Certainly shall use
my best endeavors to have it go
through"
Provisions of Bill
The bill provides that upon it's pas
sage tn ecounty commissioners shall
appoint a receiver of taxes to hold
office until January 1, 1918, or until
his successor is elected or has quail
fled. The bill privides that at the
municipal elections next November a
receiver shall be elected to serve four
years, and every four years thereafter
The receiver is to have salary of
$500 a year, and he may appoint
two deputies at 81 500 each and not
exceeding two clerks at $1,000 each,
and the deputies are to have all the
powers of tax collection conferred
upon the receiver.
The receiver is to have an office in
the courthouse which is to be open
daily for the receipt fakes. It
is to be the duty of the receiver to
mail a notice of the amount of taxes
due the county within thirty days
after he has received the tax dupli-
cate from the county commissioners,
the notice to give full information as
to when the same is due, rebates al
lowed, penalties to be imposed, etc.
To Sit In Each District
The receiver or one of his deputies
will be required to sit at least two
days in each city, borough, town and
township for the purpose of receiv-
ing taxes, one day during the period
on which the rebate is allowed and
one after the expiration of the rebate
thus giving all persons in the dis
trict ample opportunity to pay their
taxes at home. However, the money
may be sent to or paid at the court
house office of the receiver any time.
All persons making payment of
county taxes within ninety days from
the date of notification would receive
five per cent. rebate and persons
falling to make payment within six
months after the date of notice would
be charged five per cent. additional
Heavy penalties are provided for mis-
use of taxes collected or other irreg-

CAMPAIGN IS ON To
SECURE SIGN TURES
Petitions Being Circulated to Sub
nit Question to Vote on
Sept. 10.


VIRGINIA, Minn., July 5.-The
campaign for dry st. Louis county
is on. Headquarters have been
opened in the First National Bank
building, this city, with Senator
Richard Jones of Duluth as campaign
manager, and A. r. Hill of Hibbing
as secretary to the committee.
Arrangements for an aggressive
canvass for signatures are going for
ward. Approximately 1000 names
are necessary to get the proposition
on the ballot, but it is expected many
more than this number will be filed
with the county auditor when the petit
tons are handed in calling for an
election.
1t is planned to bring on the cleo
ton Sept. 10. The committee hopes
to place a dry organization in every
voting precinct in the county. The
women, also, will be enlisted in the
fight for a dry county. It has been
found that their influence has been
particularly effective against the liq-
uor interests in dry campaigns.
The workingmen will be thoroughly
canvassed. In recent campaigns in
i'oiUIA Tic VI hllS mems OrGanlZa-
tons were especially active and be-
fore long workingmen's dry leagues
will be on the job in the st. Louis
county contest.
'"The old argument that to close
the saloons and breweries will throw
thousands of men out Of EMPLOYMENT
no longer appeals to the intelligent
Workingman," said Senator Jones to-
day. 1T has been demonstrated be-
yond question that the capital now
invested in other legitimate lines, will
give employment to many more work.
lngmen than are now employed in the
manufacture of liquor.
"Workingmen have been fooled by
the usual wet argument in the past
but they will be fooled no longer. It
was the workingmen's vote that made
duluth dry and I am confident it will
be the intelligent workingmen that
will put st. Louis county in the dry
