Dorothy Dix Talks
Old Women-2.
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer


Parasitic young men who like TO
ride in her automobiles and eat her
dinners, and put up at her country
places, lean over her bare shoulders
and whisper insulting love talk to her,
and befool her with lying compliments,
and she brides and beams with de-
hsht, and goes on playing at a mas
querade of being young that decefves
no one but herself.
For there is the gray pallor OF age
that no paint can hide, the sagging
muscles and pendulous cheeks that no
masseur can rub away. the tired old
eyes that nave seen too much; the old
weary face that looks all the older un-
der its gayly dyed hair. And it is all
so piteous, the rich old woman trying
to be young, clinging TO a shadow OF
beauty after the substance is gone.
Hers is an old age frivolous. silly.
vain and ridiculous. 1t is an old age
without dignity, without honor, with
out sweetness, and as see il I thank
God that my mother knew no such
old age as that and I pray Him that
may never know such an old age
when my time comes.
Sometimes I go to a quiet country
town and there see another old
woman. Her figure is still straight
with the look of a victorious soldier
about it. Her hands strong. firm and
capable, for she has done much work
in her life. lie folded at rest now in
her lap. Her face calm and serene is
more beautiful than any girls because
life has eched on 1t the story OF mo-
BILE experience. Her eyes are lovely,
full of dreams and memories and her
mouth is sometimes @ to be remem-
bered because her smile is like a bene-
diction.
Her hair. snow white. is banded
away under a lace cap. and a lace
kerchief is folded primly across her
old woman's dress of black silk that
she has worn so long. made in that
self-same fashion, that It has become
a part of herself, and it would seem a
sacrilege to change its form.
Little children play about this old
woman's feet and creep instinctively
to the arms that have nestled so many
babies that they curve of themselves
into q cradle. Young girls whisper to
her their love secrets because in her
heart the fountain of romance has
never run dry. Her sons and daugh-
tiers come to her as to an oracle, and
all who are weary and heavy laden
with sorrows, lay their burdens down
! at her chair and go away sustained
and comforted. for she is SO wise with
the wisdom of experience; her heart
that has suffered and rejoiced so
much, is SO Overlooking with compre-
hending sympathy, her eyes that are
SO near to the end of the world are so
touched with the prophetic vision OF
the world to be.
/ Hers is an old age more beautiful
| than youth happier. serener, and
thank God that such an old age my
mother knew, and 1 pray Him that I,
! too. may know such an old age, when
come to the purple twilight of life.

an imposition, most certainly acted
upon right reasons; for tho there were
no new taxes then imposed either on
sand or asses, yet he found by expert
ence, that. from the taxes laid on al
most all other things, he could neither
maintain himself. his wife, nor his ass
as cheap as formerly. He was, there
fore, under a necessity of advancing
the price of his sand, out of which
alone all the taxes which he paid must
be refunded. Thus the increase of
taxes must increase the price of every
thing whether taxed or not; and this
is one principal cause of the present
extraordinary advance of provisions,
and all the necessaries of life"
A line of thought and reasoning
similar to the foregoing is applicable
to present day conditions in the United
States. Nations come and go; wars
are made and unmade but economic
laws do not change and human nature
remains much the same.

Immediate practical applications of

these is seen in the solution of the
problem which led Garner and Allard
TO make their remarkable expert
ments.
They found growing in certain
part of Maryland a remarkable to-

of ten to fifteen feet and produced
an enormous crop of leaves. 1t was
commonly known as Maryland Mann
moth. How or where it originated no
one knew, but it was plainly a sport.

of tobacco to the acre. The trouble
is that it produces no seed outdoors in
Maryland. 1t grows all summer, get
ting larger and larger until cold
weather sets in, and then dies down
without having produced any seed. =
The scientists planted some of the
stock in green houses and found that
it would produce seed there during the
winter. But producing the seed in hot
houses was a very expensive business,
and could only be >conducted on
, small scale. So eager were the farm
ers for this variety of seed that they
would pay $40 for an ounce of it, and
there was little to be had at that price.
The scientists set out to find what
made this tobacco produce seed in
the greenhouse in winter when it had
no reproductive life at all outdoors.
They naturally thought first of the
temperature and of the amount Of
light, but they found that varying
these had no effect. This led them
\ to the experiments with this tobacco
hlished the fact that daily duration of
the light and neither its quantity nor
the temperature, was the factor that
controlled reproduction. In word.
Maryland Mammoth tobacco would
not produce seed in Maryland because,

short enough to suit the plant, II

TIME TO GO FISHING,
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

TIME TO GO FISHING,
It's time to go fishing again
The blues in the sky and the breeze
Is calling the city-worn men
To come to the lakes and the seas.
There are dreams TO be dreamed in day
There are wonderful pictures to see,
It is time to be up and away
To the haunts where the soul can go free
Life cannot be lived in one place,
Not in toll can mans story be told,
Hard grow the lines in his face
e Who thinks but of silver and gold;
There are beauties of nature to love,
And joy for the joyous to claim,
And the chorus Of birds from above
Is as sweet as the whisper Of fame.
The body needs rest from the grind
The soul needs its moments Of peace,
The tired and trouble-woru mind
Needs respite and rest aud release:
And each in his turn must put down
His duty and portion of care,
Must turn for time from the tern
And find true Commitment somewhere
It's time. almost time to depart
From the heat and the turmoil Of strife
The struggle for place and its smart,
And gather the gladness of life:
Tho each one must follow his choice
In forsaking the struggles Of men,
Soul and body once more l re1o1ee
That its time to go fishing sgatnt

THAT VICIOUS CIRCLE.

The enormous expenses and I'M
paralleled success OF the late war" is
the reason given for high prices and
mans Monthly Intelligencer' for the
year 1867. in an article which the
American Exchange National bank has
reprinted in pamphlet form. It Is in
teresting to compare the situation then
and now and to find how similar con-
ditions of fact and thought were q CEN
fury and half ago.
The writer says that whoever re-
membsp9 the many millions annually
borfoWAa, funded, and expended, DUR
ing the last war" can be under no diff
fioulty to account for the high prices
of provisions. etc, and he shows how
the interest on these borrowed funds
and the new taxes every year imposed
must unavoldably increase prices"
For" he says, "a duty laid on any
commodity does not only add the VAL
ue of that duty to that community, but
the dealer in it must advance the price
double or treble times that sum; for
he must not only repay himself the
ton for his losses in trade by bad
debts, and loss of interest by his in
creased capital. Besides this, every
new tax does not only affect the price
of the commodity on which it is laid,
but that of all others, whether taxed
or not, and with which, at first sight, 1t
seems to have no manner of connec-
ton"
Thus, for instance, it is pointed out
"a tax on candles must raise the price
of a coat. or pair of breeches. be-
cause, out OF these. all the taxes on
the candles OF the wool-comber,
weaver and the tailor must be paid. "A
duty upon ale must raise the price of
shoes, because from them all the taxes
upon ale drunk by the tanner, leather
dresser and shoemaker, which is not
a little. must be refunded. No tax is
Immediately laid upon corn, but the
price of it must necessarily be ad-
vanced, because. out of that, all the
innumerable taxes paid by the farmer
on windows. soap. candles malt. hops,
leather, salt and q thousand others,
must be repaid. So that corn is as
effectually taxed as II a duty by the
bushel had been primarily laid upon
it; for taxes. like the various streams

overwhelm the whole.
The man, therefore. who sold sand
upon an ass, and raised the price OF
it during the late war, tho abused for
