More Brokers Than Any Other
Class File Returns.
Only One in Every Four Hundred
Farmers Earned More Than
$4,000 In 1916.

Washington, June 15.-Incomes of
more than $4,000 in 1916 were report
ed by a larger proportion of brokers
than OF any other occupation class,
and farmers made proportionately the
smallest number of returns, it was
shown in an analysis of income tax
returns for 1916.
One out of every five brokers made
returns, but only one in 400 farmers.
Nearly one-fifth of all lawyers and
judges made returns.
Teachers Names Few.
Teachers, actors, musicians, preach
ers and saloonkeepers were among
the classes Of which few made in
comes of more than $4,000.
These reports are not considered de-
pendable guides to actual incomes,
officials say, since they are based
only on returns filed, and the reason
for such a poor showing by some
classes is the neglect of members to
make returns.
Under the old income tax law apply
ing to 1916 incomes only persons
making more tran $4,000 were re-
Quired to make returns, and married
men or heads of families were re-
quired to pay taxes on earnings of
more than $4,000.
437,036 Returns Made.
The number of returns filed for
1916 was 437,036, showing total net
income Of S6,29S. OOO. 600 with tax of
s173 100000. A little more than one
fourth of the total income reported
was returned by persons with in
comes Of between $4,000 and $4,000.

Asleep AT Antietam And Gettysburg.

The mere utterance Of the names Of
Antietam and Gettysburg, says Charles
Francis Adams in his Autobiography,
stirs the imagination. Visions arise
at once of attack, repulse, carnage and
breathleSS suspense. But my own
recollection, as a participant in both
Antietam and Gettysburg, is not of the
fierce agony of battle at its height but
of the enjoyment of two exceedingly
refreshing maps.
In the campaigns of both Antietam
and Gettysburg was an officer in a
regiment of cavalry, mere subordinate
responsible only for obedience TO or
ders. AT Antietam, in the heights Of
the engagement, the division TO which
my regiment belonged was hurried
across the narrow stone bridge and
deployed on its farther side. We were
then directly in front of Fitz-John Port
er's corps, and between il and the Con-
federate line covering Sharpsburg. A
furious artillery duel was going on, 10
and fro, above our heads, between the
batteries of Porter's command and those
of the enemy, we being down in the val
ley of the river, they on the higher
ground. The Confederate batteries we
could not see, nor could they see us;
but we expected every instant TO be
ordered to advance upon them. But no
orders came and no one was hurt. BY
degrees it grew monotonous.
Presently, to relieve our tired horses,
we were ordered to dismount, and,
with out breaking ranks, we officers sat
down on the sloping hillside. No one
was struck. was very tired, and the
deadening noise gradually had on me
lulling effect; and so | dropped quietly
asleep-asleep in the height Of the bat
tie and between the contending armies.
They woke me presently to look. after
my horse, which was grazing somewhat.
wide; and after time we were with
drawn and sent elsewhere. Such is my
recollection of that veritable charne!
house, Antietam! And was a partici-
pant-indeed, in the forefront OF the
battle.
AT Gettysburg, on July Sd, the dlvi-
sion to which we belonged occupied the
high. partly wooded ground on the right
of the line, covering the enemy's Hank
and rear. 1t was bright July day, hot,
and with white clouds slowly rolling
across the sky. Neither our lines nor
those OF the enemy were visible to US:
and the sounds of battle were hushed.
Waiting for orders and for action, we
dismounted, out OF regard for our
horses as we'll as for ourselves, and sat
or lay on the turf.
Injured to danger BY contact long and
close and thoroughly tired in body and
overwrought in mind, we listened for
the battle to begin; and shortly after
noon the artillery opened. We did not
know it, for we could see nothing in
that direction, but it covered the famous
advance of Pickett's Virginia division
upon Meade's cenpe,-that wonderful
feat of arms,-and just then, lulled BY
the incessant roar OF the cannon, while
the fate Of the army and the nation
trembled in the balance, at the very
crisis Of the great conflict, ! dropped
quietly asleep. 1t was not heroic, but
il was essentially war.
