begun to work is shown by the fact
that the governments internal revenue
receipts during May We're $11S,000,000
in excess of those for the correspond

lars of the gain came from tobacco,
and more than three millions from
spirits, but the bulk of the increase
was due to the heavier taxation of in

Father Love.

The love between fathers and sons has never been given the conspicuous place that is given to boys and their mothers. Is that because 1t is more elusive than mother love?--for it is hardly less profound or beautiful. Sel- dom do hints of this beauty come to the surface in writing. But here is q single sentence from q letter written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, on his eightieth birthday, at the homecoming of his boy-'his honor, Judge Holmes of the supreme court of Massachu' setts, just arrived from Europe" II look up to him as my magistrate, and he knows me as his father, but my arms are around his neck and his mus. tache is sweeping my cheek-I feel young again at fourscore." ."--Collier's Weekly.

Didn't Know Who Hit Him,

In the Harlem court it was no easy matter for negro porter to explain just what had hit him, says the New York Sun. His head was neatly bound in the gauzy whiteness of first aid, and but for n brace of dark and indignant eyes which flashed from the front of the medical bundle and pair of large and dark ears protruding from either side, he would have resembled care fully nodded, bulle:-shaped snowfall. Through slight slit in the sanitary headgear the negro explained that he had been hit from 35 directions while at work in q cafe. At the time he as serted he was engaged in "scolding the boss" about his small wages, the class of persons who came to the cafe and the superiority of the negro race over the white in every detail except their genral color scheme. "Well. who hit you." asked the magistrate. "We-l-l," said the porter, II don't know jes' who all took slam at me. but what know Is dis: In dat store at dat time they were about 35 men, an what do know is that was walloped at least 35 times Yer honor, jes' use your own judg. ment."

How Flaos Are Made.

The many thousands of stars used on Old Glory each year are cut out by a cutting machine, which manages the eight different sizes needed. The stars on the reverse are simply pieces of cloth pasted to the blue field. An ope- ator using "zigzag" machine stitches around the edge of the star, which has been cut out by machine; this makes q star pattern on the piece of cloth pasted on the reverse, and the excess material is cut with scissors by a trimmer" These vary in dimensions from 14 inches in diameter down to ? inches. But of all the flags of the United States, the presidents flag en- tails the most labor. To make it re- quires all of one womnn's time for full month. The flag, consisting of a blue ground with the coat of arms of the United States in the center, Is hand sewed, and 1t takes days of pa tient stitching to secure in place the life-sized eagle with its great wings outstretched. The flag is made in two sizes, 10 by 14 feet and 3 by feet.- Scientific Amariran .'.

Why Women Talk.

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the milkman, the gro- cery man, the iceinan, the old clothes man, few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door, there is nobody to talk to. That is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night. Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hmh-hmh" with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will catch them unawares and between re- marks will insert request for $1O to buy new dress with. If the husband, from force of habit answers "hmh- hmh" the wife, of course. gets the gown.-Cartoons Magazine.
