THE HORSE OF PAUL REVERE.

 In considering the ride of Paul Revere from Boston to Lexington and Concord, awakening the revolution ary patriots to be up and fighting, a keen-witted editor in the Christian Herald says it wasn't altogether a triumph for Paul Revere, but also for the horse he rode!
 "The harder work fell on the horse," this editor asserts. "But for the true horses faithtulness, Paul Revere would have been a failure." Right! Any other horse would not have been as good. It might have been a horse to which Revere was not accustomed, and a ljder to whom the horse was not accustomed. And anyone who has tried it knows tia: strange horses do strange Hops.
 Besides, when you are cynical enough to state that "any other horse might not have done just as well," you might as we'll add to your cynic- ism by saying "any other man might have done just as we'll"
 But it isn't true.
 There wasn't anothe, man in Bos ton at the time who thought of doing what Paul Revere did!
 That's the point There are plenty of folks who can do what the otha: fellow who gets the story and fa:ne has done-but they e,dn't thi)k of doing it when their opportunity sr- rived.
 They merely hang :: ack and say: CT could have done tha same th.ns." "Could!" That's as close as the got to doing it. And that's why aul Revere is one of the characters that "lQom up like peaks above the moun- tain ranges of time!"

LUXURIES AND THE WAR TAX.

That the man who can afford U buy luxuries deserves to be higher taxed than the man who can't, is an axiom of wartime taxation. The war tax bill, therefore, lays it on heavily. Luxuries are under the ban as the nation fights.
 Yet reasonable amount of luxury is the essence of civilization. The difference between us and the Cave Man is that we know how to make more luXuries.
 Besides, ideas regarding luxuries change. What we consider as neces- sities the *Cave Man would. have thought fit only for the tribal chief or a god.
 We don't believe the government war tax will kill off luxuries-reason- able, legitimate luxur,es. like music. In fact, millions of people have been civilized and cultivated to the poin. where they consider music as an ab- solute necessity, and neither a war tax or a government officials spe- cious reasoning can convince them otherwise.
 Besides, the man or woman WI, can indulge in luXuries in spite oi the war should do so; he is doing 2 service to his country by helping to keep going industries whose extinc- tion we cannot permit in spite of the war.
