JeweIry Reveals History.

Increasing demand for allAmerican
,eNelry, designed from ancient models
fashioned by the Aztecs and Toltecs of
Mexico, has brought TO light a striking
similarity between them and those OF
the contemporaneous Roman empire.
The characteristic features of Ro-
mdn jewelry were it's broad surfaces,
massive construction, use of large
stones and open-work ornament. The
same features are equally true of the
aboriginal American jewelry, and OF
that of the restoration now in vogue.
Betokening strength and luxury.
they both differed radically from the
iewelry of the Greeks and EtruscanS,
especially in that the latter was chief
ly distinguished by its delicate beauty
and minutely cunning workmanship.
Comparatively, it is the difference be-
tween the imposing canvas and the
miniature Montezuma and the Aztec
nobles-and their Toltec predecessors
wore this magnificent, colorful jew
elry, and so did the emperorS and no.
bes of Rome, while both great en-
pires were flourishing at the same pc

MICE and MISERS
Two Would Seem to Have Some
Sort of Affinity.
And Uncle Sam Is Frequently Called
Upon to Make Good the Depreda-
tons Made in Hidden Hoards
by the Rodents.

Uncle Sam is so broad-minded that
ne goes out of his way to help the
miser. The treasury in Washington
often receives wads Of greenbacks or
banknOtes that misers have buried or
otherwise hidden in places where they
rotted or were chewed up by mice,
AMI in such cases the money, if enough
is left of it to be recognizable, is re-
paid to the owner in crisp new bills.
1t is curious fact about misers
that nearly always they do not hide
their money in one place, but scatter
it about in all sorts of odd spots-the
idea doubtless being that in case of
theft only minor fraction of the
hoard is likely to be discovered by the
robber.
Thus it has happened many time
that miser's house, after his demise,
had to be literally torn to pieces in
order to recover his wealth. Indeed,
in such instances it is often found ex-
pedient to break up the furniture and
rip the seams of every article of cloth
ing ana Deddlng.
The miser is popularity supposed to
entertain a marked preference for
gold. But gold is hard to get nova
days; and, anyway, misers in these
times would rather have paper money,
which is more easily and safely hid
den.
Unfortunately, mice think highly of
banknotes and greenbacks for nest
making purposes, tearing them into
tiny scraps, the putting together of
which (for Identification and redemp-
ton at the treasury is a task sur
passing in difficulty the most COM
plicated picture puzzles. Paper money,
by the way, cannot be so torn by hui
man hands as to initiate successfully
notes. chewed by mice. Their work
cannot be counterfeited-a fact that
has revealed a number of attempted
frauds on the government.
The really up-to-date miser, how
ever, does not hide his money at all,
but puts it away in savings banks,
where it cannot be stolen and draws
compound interest. He scatters 1t
among a number of such institutions,
the bank books doubtless furnishing
satisfactory material for those
"gloats" in which the miser is sup
posed privately to indulge.

By Means Ray

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 13.
The plan of Governor f. D.
Gardner to raise all money for
state purposes by indirect taxa
tion is meeting with the appro-
val Of the people Of the state
Generally. The hope is to raise
the additional revenue by in
ereasing the income, inheritance,
corporation franchise and soft
pdrink tax.
It was fully discussed by the
Governor at a Joint meeting Of
the committee on ways and
means Of the house and senate
and seemed to meet with their
favor.
The only opposition to the plan
is because of the adoption of the
prohibition amendment which
will mean a great reduction in
revenue from that source.
Governor Gardner's plan would
be great thing because of the
separation Of county and state
revenue and would forever set
tie the question of the valuation
Of property as counties would
be able to make their valuation
what they desired.
The matter will be brought up
the latter part Of this week and
bills submitted to the general
assembly, provided the commit
tee agree.
