The poets have been trying to tell
us what love is for 1000 years, but
they have made such a hash of 1t
that even today thousands of people
can't tell the difference between love
and a business opportunity until
after they are married.
Love Is a peculiarly squashy con-
dition of the head produced by an
appetite in the heart. 1t is a grand
thing for the heart, enlarging it to
many times its former capacity, but
what it does to the mind is mourn
full to contemplate. Under the infiu-
ence Of love, we see SO a week clerks
buying So lunches of violets, strong
and fearless young athletes weeping
great pearly tears, because the letter
carrier didn't produce a pink note,
and well-educated young women re-
garding Apollo, Shakespeare and
Daniel Webster as mere trash, when
compared with the magnificent young
football players or necktie statesmen
who call at their homes each evening.
Love blinds the eyes, warps the
judgment, spoils the taste, Increases
the capacity for happiness, takes the
sting out Of misfortune, softens the
disposition, makes hard work worth
while and fills the land with happy
and often crowded homes.
Love is an Internally, ridiculous
~ and painful magnificent thing. 1t
is 100000 volt shock of personal
magnetism against which there is no
insulation. 1t preys upon the old and
the young alike. 1t attacks the stat
uesque youn5 society princess and
reduces her from an iceberg to an
armful of soft words in three weeks
It steals into the bony frame Of the
hardened old skinhint, who has just
elected nineteen starving families
from his tenement houses, and trans

Women are-or, should it be, have
been?-so bound by convention that II
may be the strain of lawlessness that
ties, more or less deep, in us all, in
them manifests itself in admiration
for the men who have chosen to be
q law unto themselves.
Perhaps the real secret is woman's
love for strength, which, despite eman-
cipated protests, is the strongest in
stinct inherited from the cave woman
still rampant within her. Most wom-
ems favorite character in history is
Napoleon, not because he was great,
but because he was ruthless, and she
will always have more admiration for
a great soldier than great poet un-
less his amours were specially notori-
GUS; but, unhappily, in any instance
she mistakes lawlessness for strength
not being sufficiently experienced to
realize that only the bound are Free

When Dog Sought His Master.

There is a story in the American
Magazine in which a writer says:
HE had come many miles. He had
many miles yet to go. From sleeping
farmhouses dogs bayed him as he
passed, running like big fox, silent
and swift. The road turned and twist
ed among the hills and small noun
tains. Ahead In the sky was glow
Of coming day. 1t grew brighter with
the passing miles. 1t drew him on.
The distance would have meant little
to him, except for the tremendous
speed at which he had been travelling.
Now his chest was fecked with foam.
His tail, carried usually so proudly,
followed the curve of his launches.
His overstrained muscles worked me-
chanically like pistons. His heart
pounded his long, lean, red ribs.
'Dizzy. almost famished, he came
at last to the top of hill, and stop
ped, ears erect. Below him stretched
rows Of twinlllng lights that, all to-
gether, made up the glow in the sky.
That was the city with the strange
building into which they had carried

ANYBODY CAN MAKE MISTAKES
Everybody Able to BIunder, But Few
Are Willing to Frankly Admit
They Have Made an Error.

Mistakes are things anybody can
make successfully.
l have known people, writes Strick-
land Gillian, in Farm Life, who seemed
to fail at every other kind of manu-
featuring who could make as splendid
specimens of mistakes as one could
wish to see.
Yes, and do it easy
have made mistakes.
Yep. / have.
/ used to think | made none.
Now list that think as one of the
biggest mistakes ever made or knew
about.
These days l find myself wondering
if l am not the fellow who invented
them.
Sometimes a fellow takes a miss
that nobody else would take, and aft
erward finds out 1t was mistake.
Anybody under twenty never admits
that he has made a mistake.
And he is usually honest about it.
If anything goes wrong, blame 1t
onto someone else.
After twenty-five he begins to think
of a few he made when he was eleven.
BY the time he is forty-five he will
forget the mistakes he made in early
youth because, in looking back over
the trail, the little ones Of childhood
are completely hid by the whoppers
he has made since he was thirty-five
don't know why people have to
make mistakes.
But they are built that way.
/ believe l never made the same mis-
take twice.
This encourages me.
For as / look back 1ver mistake

the point at which cannot make an!
mistakes without repeating.
But that may be mistake.

EIGHTEEN YEARS ON ISLAND
Experience Of Indian Woman Makes
That of Robinson crusoe Appear a
Mere Incident.

1t would appear that Alexander Sell
kinks brief stay on Juan Fernandez
island was trivial, either in the hard
ships endured or the difficulties over
come, compared with that of woman
on an island opposite the Californian
peninsula.
1t seems that the Catholic fathers
at Santa Barbara were once transport
ing the natives of the island of st.
Nicholas to the mainland. Among
them was mother who discovered
that her babe had been left behind.
She begged that the vessel might be
put back, but the captain refused
She then leaped into the sea 10 swim
ashore, but as storm prevailed, all
on board thought she was drowned.
Eighteen years afterward company
landed on the island. They found
traces Of life, and after long search
discovered the woman and took her
with them. The poor woman never
found her babe, but had managed to
live in comparative comfort, though
very lonely. After her long life In the
open, she could not endure the confne-
ment of a house, and soon sickened
and died.

APRIL / LAST DAY
FOR FEDERAL RETURNS
Penalties for Income Dodgers Are
Severe-Get Your Return
in if You Are Liable.

April 1, 1918, is the final day al
lowed under the federal income tax
law for the filing Of federal income
tax returns. Persons who are requir-
ed to file returns under the provisions
Of law and who fail to get their re-
turns in on time are subject to Sc
we're penalties, as follows:
For making false or fraudulent re-
turn, not exceeding $1,000 or not ex-
ceeding one years. Imprisonment, or
both, in the discretion of the court,
and, In addition, 100 per cent. of the
tax evaded
For falling to make return on time,
not less than $40 nor more than ST.
600, and, in addition, so per cent. of
the amount Of tax due.
If on account of Illness or absence
from home you are unable to render
your return within the time prescribed
by law you may obtain an extension
of 30 days If request therefor is filed
with the collector of your district be-
fore the due date of the return. In
this request you must state the rea-
con why the return cannot be filed
within the time prescribed by law.
Collectors of internal revenue are
not authorized to grant extensions of
more than 30 days, but the commits
sioner of internal revenue has author
Ity to grant a reasonable extension
beyond 80 days In meritorious cases.
If you desire an extension of more
than 30 days your request should be
addressed to the commissioner and
should contain a detailed statement
covering the reasons which make it
impossible for you to file your return
on or before April 1.
The internal revenue men are now
completing their tour of the country,
during which they were In touch with
the people Of every city and town. II
you failed to get In touch with the
not too late to get advice. Consult
your postmaster as to where the near
est deputy Is now Get your blank
form, study the directions and the re-
quirements as shown thereon and
make your return without fail If your
income was sufficient to come within
the bounds named In the law.
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Roper that it is important that the
people comply with the federal laws
as fully as they are complying with
| the drafts for men and the conserva-
ton Of foods and fuel. "The war must
be paid for" says Commissioner Roper.
Congress has as much right to con-
script a Just portion of income as il
has to conscript our boys. The tax
for 1917 is designed to reach moder
ate as well as large incomes, so that
all persons who are in financial posi-
/ ton to bear a portion of the heavy
government expenses can be assessed
in proportion to their ability to pay.
"The man who is barely making o
living or barely supporting family
is not affected by the 1917 law. Blu
the man who is able to bear share
of the burden has been reached by
the new law, and he should accept hi;
responsibility In the same patriotic
spirit that our young men have shown
In offering themselves for this greai
purpose Of the country to make the
world safe for people of all kinds t.
live In and to govern themselves"

per Syndicate.)
Tom Conklin was stationed some
where in the East, In the United
States, with a dozen or more other
young men In khaki, guarding an i'm
portant railroad bridge, placed on the
map beside venerable old town, the
proudest boast of which was It's blue
blood, its historic old graveyard and
its Carnegie library, which contained
a number of volumes quite beyond the
usual allotment for a town of such
small population.
To any normal man in khaki, and to
Tom Conklin, specially, there are
things that would recommend town
more instantly than blue blood, grave
yards and Libraries. There may have
been pretty girls In the town. In fact,
there were, and those pretty girls were
patriotic, but their patriotism took the
form of knitting innumerable wooden
muffiers and wr1stlets and aviators'
helmets rather than in actually con-
versing with or cheering the home
sick hours of any Of the little group
of men in khaki who were guarding
the bridge by day and night. Lee
turers came to that town every once
in a while to deliver talks about
What We Are Doing for the Soldier
Boys Over There" and the men on the
bridge were given free tickets to these
entertainments. But Tom Conklin had
little taste for war lectures. He was
getting enough Of the gloom there on
the bridge, and he was not enough Of
an antiquarian to appreciate the charm
of the graveyard. AS for the blue

women as on an equal bae-- with men.
The unmarried woman or the married
woman with a salary must make tax
return just the same as any man. Only
the woman supporting her mother or
other members of her family may take
out $1,000 exemption.
Under the law the head of the faml-
ly is the one whose earning power con-
tributes to the family's support
Similarly a widow with small chill
dren to support can take out $1,000
exemption and 5000 additional exemp-
ton for each of her children under
eighteen. Thus 1t is intended that
the law shall work no hardship to wo-
men having to struggle to get along.
But each must file return If her In
come Is 1000.
A man whose wife dies and who is
left with small children to support
upon q moderate income may also take
full exemption under the new tax law
and also claim 5000 exemption for
each of his children under eighteen.
The widower under the law is a
single man and must make tax re-
turn accordingly. Married men need
not file returns unless they are earn
ing $4,000 or more.
"This is as much a national obliga-
ton as the reporting for duty of man
drafted for service with the colors,"
says D. @. Roper, commissioner of in
ternal revenue "As 1t stands, 1t is
much a matter of the man or wo-
mans own conscience. 1t is for him
or for her to determine just how far
he is liable to the tax. He must figure
his own income and If 1t reaches the
figures named In the law must make
faithful report upon it to the proper
authority.
"This tax is distinctly a war meas
ure and will be In effect during the
war.
.This is a peoples tax-it reaches
right down into the pockets of the
small wage Garner; 1t makes him
partner in the job Of winning the
war"

TOO EASILY LED BY WHlMS
Characteristic Even of Men in High
Station That Is Not Productive
Of Good Results.

Whims are the rivulets of the mind.
They sparkle over the shadows so
that one Is not likely to see how
shallow they are. And yet a good
deal Of this world, most of 1t, per-
haps, is run by whims. We have
often been on the inside of the arena
Of national glory, as a spectator, of
course, and never failed to see a
whim or two on deck. This world is
not run by Judgment or logic, but by
fancy and inclination. We have seen
great men, on the highest seats of
power In a state and nation, futter
like a leaf In breeze, not knowing
where to light.
Judgments are not like geometrical
formulas, presenting a solid conclu-
sion. They float in from everywhere,
from the last lunch, the last dance,
the last trip, the last speech, the last
opera, just as the mists float off of the
hilltop, nothing solid or substantial to
them. But they awaken action and
purpose and in consequence society
lacks so much the texture of common
sense and real purpose. 1t rides on
fancy to some unseen port. What is
needed in public life, in society, in pol
itics, In religion, are men without
whims-Ohio State Journal.

1t seemed TO Bob ss they stopped at

among the pines was more of little

be before, and he hoped it might not

But Clara never finished her sem

long-legged calf, standing awkward

upon their startled sight. The fright
ened animal was only few feet away,
and Bob tried in vain to stop the ma
chine. He turned sharply to the left,
and the next instant the great car
swerved on its side into the ditch,
while the calf went bawling off into
the woods Clara, half laughing and
half crying, chung frantically to Bob,
but to their mutual establishment they
had both remained in their seats.

The Calf
@0
By Jessie M. Robinson


Bob Marston verify haunted the IL
brary rooms of the state university.
Not that he was avid for learning. Tbs
little amber-haired lady seated at the
librarians desk was the magnet which
drew him. Notwithstanding that
Clara Brownlee was college gradu-
ate, that she was being wooed by Pro
fessor Nichols, A. b., and that Bob
felt that she was as far above him as
the Goddess Minerva was to the pleb-
elan Greek, Bob still aspired to become
her chosen one. Bob was a hero on
the gridiron, but two years plodding at
the university had failed to bring out
any great mental brilliancy. He was
well aware that on the campus he had
been dubbed 1.-The Calf because of his
incoming proclivities, but he was too
deeply In love to mind ridicule.
This morning Clara's brown eyes n.@s
his blue ones inquiringly, and sss,
smiled as the tall, gangling youth, VIII
his shock of black hair, came towaY&
her desk.

Chinese Canals.

At what period the Chinese began to
dig canals, there is no authentic rec
ord to prove. Sometimes it seems as
if these remarkable people must al
ways have had canals and other works,
so long have they been familiar to
them and so well established have they
been as a part Of the country as the
men from the Occident first visited 1t.
One thinks of the Grand Canal Of
China and the Great Wall of China to-
gether, although; of course, they have
nothing whatever to do with each 9th
er, except that they are both ancient
and remarkable works of the Chinese
people.

whose jurisdiction extended over a

who could neither read nor write, and
who thus failed at the usual eyesight
tests with letters. At last he was
asked if he had ever hunted, and what
kind of game he had killed. He replied
that he had often hunted squirrels
with a rife, and someone added that
he seldom missed shot. According
ly the officer reported on the man as
follows: Difficult to determine appli-
cant's acuteness of vision, as he does
not know his letters, but he can kill
squirrels with rifle" The man was

1t is grand thing for the heart.
by means of marriage There is as
much love after marriage as before,
but it leaves the brain, where it has
been messing things up, and goes
down into the heart, where 1t belongs.
Love has remodeled nations, re-
vissd history, overthrown kings and
champions and has made literature
worth reading. 1t is said that love
makes the world go round, but ie
does more than that. It makes the
world go round and round and
round like another well-known in
