II came on a steamer from the East
and hastened from home TO home,
from tavern to tavern. Great banks
had suspended payment; New York
had suffered panic; many large busi-
ness enterprises In the East had
failed; certain agents for the bonds
OF Illinois had absconded with the
states money; in the big cities there
had been an omlnous closing Of doors
ard turning Of locks; a great army
OF men were out OF employment. The
little city was In frenzy Of excitement.
Tile streets were filled with a shout

had shrunk TO nothing and less than

were offered for a 1.-THE OF what their

That night, in the Office of the City

know the amount OF money he is like
ly to have to spend. Hence the ways
and means committee of the house
has hurriedly taken up the tax prob

disposal of the tariff
Early in the session great things
enue producer, but a change has come
over the spirit of the congressmen's
dreams, and they now realize that
they must look elsewhere for money
to support the government.
The budget law provides that the
president shall transmit to congress
on the first day of the regular session
the budget, which shall set forth in
summary and detail: Estimates of
expenditures and appropriations, his
estimates of the receipts of the gov
eminent during the ensuing fiscal
year, under laws existing at the time
the budget is transmitted, and also
under the revenue proposals, If any,
contained in the budget" Another
part of the law provides that "if the
estimated receipts for the ensuing fis-
cal year contained IN the budget
are less than the estimated ex-
penditures for the ensuing fiscal year
contained in the budget, the president
shall make recommendations to con-
sress for new taxes, loans or other ap-
proprtate action to meet the estimat-
ed deficiency" But before any such
action can be taken there must be a
law on which to base such estimates.
Senator Watson of Indiana recently
was quoted as saying: .I am much
Impressed by the force of the argu-
ment that the Intelligent administra-
ton of the budget law requires imme-

parentiy it will not be possible for the

heard choking voice suffering in

of the injustices done years ago to

But when the old man looked up

BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Worlds highest Paid Woman Writer.

YoutnIuI Mdrr1ageS.-&.
Consider, my dear, the things you
raved over last summer. Recall the
boy at the beach that you thought lust
too cute for anything. Remember the
sundaes you dotted on, the frocks you
were crazy about. How you despise
them now! You smile with pity at the
unsophisticated girl you were then.
How your tastes have changed, i'm
proved. And how you would be bored
to tears if you had to do the things,
and wear the things you adored only
twelve-month ago.
Well, a husband isn't like a frock.
You can't throw him into the discard,
or wish him on a country cousin like
you can a dress you have wearied of.
Yet you can grow as sick of the sight
of the man to whom you are married
as you can of a year-before-last faded
muslin. And believe me, little girl,
life has no greater tragedy than to be
tied 10 a husband who has nothing the
matter with him except that you have
just lost your taste for him.
And unless a man is a superman,
gifted with actual financial genius,
an early marriage is a handicap that
keeps him at the foot of the ladder
all his days. Every cent he can
make, and more, is needed to run
the home He has no chance to get
ahead, and soon his spirit and his am
the drudge class. So, if you really
love your boy sweetheart, give him a
chance to win out. Let him get a
start before you put the burden of a
family on his back.
Don't ymarry until you have had
your playtine of life. The only care
free time in a woman's whole ex-
istence is the little span between her
school days and her wedding day.
After that, no matter how good and
kind man she marrieS she is bound.
There is always some one whose
wishes she must consult before her
own, someone whose happiness she
must prefer before her own.
Don't marry until you have had all
the idle flirtations you want, all the
admiration from casual men you de-
sire, all the dancing and gadding you
crave. Have your fling before mar
rage instead of afterwards. That's
only fair to the man, to yourself, and
the general public.
When you see a married woman
who is giddy and flighty, who carries
on lclandestine affairs with men,
| who is flattered out of her wits by
any attention from men, and who
neglects her husband and her chill
dren, and her home to tear-around
madly to every party she is invited
to. set it down that she married early.
She didn't have her gfrl-time at the
| it when it is as dangerous as having
| the measles in middle life.
Don't mess up your life by a child
| marriage, my dear. Wait until you
are a. grown and mature woman and
know what you are about. At its best
| marriage lasts a long time, and at its
worst it seems to last longer.
