"Yes, that's the stuff the soldiers

with his surroundings, so that he is
not always dlscernlble to the casual
eye"
Reuben Marsh said nothing, but the
suggestion had sunk deep into his
mind. He had made n rash conf
dence, little considering that Talcott
was in a measure a rival, and that
they mistook his ingenious simplicity
for stupidity and would rather en-
courage him to commit a foolish ac-
ton than otherwise. The present col
loquy had come about through Tai
colt asking: "And what about the lit
tie lady, Marshg The "little lady"
was Winnie Elston, and Reuben shook
his head mournfully as he responded
blankly:
Il haven't seen her for a week, and
1t looks as though l won't see her for
many a week to come"
"Why, how is that?' probed Talcott.
"Her father. He has taken dis

class. OF course. he's got lots of
money and l very little of it, but I'm
steady, I've got permanent position
at good salary, and Of course l like
Winnie, and she-well, she seems to
enjoy my company"
Artlessly, because he believed he
was with friends, Reuben went on to
relate how Mr.. Elston had ordered
him from the place. Twice Reuben
had invaded the grounds after night

guardian of Winnie, whom this hard
hearted person apparently was treat

way She could have got word to me-"

The New Income Tax.

Some time between January !, and

person having net Income OF 81, 900 a
year and every married person having
net income of double that amount
will have TO make a report to the
government. What is first 10 be
understood and borne in mind is that
II this Is not done law will have been
Violated and by the Government the
violator will be called 10 account.
What is next TO be comprehended and
remembered is that the tax collector
will not 20 10 the recipient OF the H..

And 1t will help the recipient TO know
that net income does not mean what Is

not included.

duty imposed, the blanks prepared
BY the Government will prove TO be

With prodiglous effort Reuben

clear out of his prison place. The

"Burglars-and the old iron safe

There are no rules as TO the length
OF editorials. They should be long
enough to express clearly and forcibly
the Thoughts the writer intends TO con-
vey, and no longer. II two lines are
sufficient, three lines are too much. II
column is needed anything less than
a column is too little.
The editorial writer is merely talking
to the people and editorial writing is
no more difficult TO the man who Is fit
for the work than conversing is. No
one would say that in conversation a
man should speak about seven hundred
words on subject and then talk about
something else. A man who adopted
such a rule would be as tiresome as
one who measured of editorials by the
inch
II there were any rule at all IL would
be one with many exceptions, and the
rule would be TO have editorials diff
erent enough in length TO prevent the
appearance Of simply trying to fiji
space. A paper with editorials about
one-tourth Of a column long would ere.
ate the impression that the writer did
not mean word he said but that he
was simply trying to put given
amount Of ink on white paper. Under
such circumstances the white paper
might be the more interesting.
An editorial writer should be In
earnest about what he says and think
OF nothing else. He should not worry
about who will read ii or what they
will think Of IL. He should forget
every thing except what he is writing
and II he does this and is capable those
who read what he writes will be apt TO
forget everything except what they are

ing the full force OF his views to his
