Origin of Sea Serpent.

Professor Darcy Thompson, during
the course of a recent lecture at the
London Royal institute. said that he
had no doubt that the cuttle-fish was
the strange beast which the ancients
had named the sea serpent. They
must have seen 1t during n of its
playful gambols. and have mistaken
it's wedge-shaped tail for the head of
the serpent, and the end of one of its
enormously long arms for the tip of
the serpent's tail.
No story of ogre. giant, or witch
was more strange and terrifying than
the cuttle-ish or octopus. Neverthe-
less. the cuttle-fsh's "bone" had home
ly associations. 1t was used for pet
canaries to pick at, and for lawyers to
clean up parchment. 1t was also used
to polish the doors of carriages.

TABOO FOR INCOMES

A word of warning to income tax
payers is contained in a statement
given out by the internal revenue col
lector, who points out that returns
must show all items of taxable in
come for 1913.
"Guesswork, estimates. and other
hit-or-miss tactics are barred when
a person is making out his income
tax return. Accuracy and complete
ness must be insisted upon. And re-
member, the return is a sworn state
ment; as such, it must be thorough
and accurate.
"Salaried persons and w~age-earners
must not confine their returns to
figures showing a years pay at so
much a day, or so much a week. The
actual amount drawn should be as
certained and reported. Overtime
bonuses, shares in the profits of a
business. value of quarters and board
furnished by the employer, and a
number OF 0ther items OF similar ma
ture which are compensations for SER
vices, are taxable as part of the years
earnings and must be included. March
Is is the time limit for filing returns.
There are no privileged characters
no distinctions, in the personal in
come tax. Everybody living in the
United States, whether citizen or
alien, is subject to this law. In order
TO be practical, to keep the wheels
from becoming clogged with useless
records, the law does not require an
nual returns of the very small in
comes. The beginning is at $1,000 for
an unmarried person and $4,000 for a
married couple"

The next meeting will be at Mrs
Hinkleys on February 10.
Here is something for everyone. to
think about:
My little motherless neighbor, age
FIVE years, came to see me with shad-
ows in his pretty eyes and mouth
dropping. l smiled at his appearance
and welcomed him with, whats the
matter Billy-Boy?"
But there was no answering smile,
but a doleful Il got somefin' dreffel
to tell you, Mrs. Mason"
Something too "dreffel" to be said
aloud, evidently, for he climbed into
my lap and whispered: Mrs. Mason,
my papa isn't a right promiser." The
hopeless tone made the confession
tragic.
"Why. Billy-Boy, what do you
mean?"
HE promised to bring me some
candy and he didn't do it."
ooh, but he is such a busy man, he
just forgot"
"Yes-s," he said, Il thought about
that, but he promised to make me a
swing, and he didn't do it,"
l struggled to hold his faith. Billy
he probably didn't have the things
ready to make a swing"
Eyes, / though of that, too, but he
promised to take me up town last
night, and he didn't do it, and | know
now he isn't a right promiser."
His voice broke on the last word
and his eyes filled, but too manly to
shed tears he hurried away before
l could make further excuses for the
father, who I also knew was mot a
right promiser."
How about 1t, friends? Are you
fright promisers?"
