SEEING TIE LIGHT.

II Congressman Strong of this state

one foot over the fence and may be
expected to climb down into the sales
tax pasture at any time.
While certain interests have man
aged to defeat the proposed sales tax

lected, the measure isl one which is
undoubtedly destined eventually to be
adopted. It has failed because pub
lie sentiment was not sufficiently
aroused to it's support. Public senu-
ment failed in it's support because it
is either uniformed or misinformed.
When once the public comes really to
understand this plan of taxation, it
will rise and insist upon it's adoption.
Under operation of a sales tax goods
can be made and sold more cheaply,
and this without any necessary re-
duction in what is paid for labor
Where the purchaser of goods over q
counter has been paying 90 per cent
extra to anticipate an excess profits

average of about 9 per cent all told

Furthermore, any man who is afraid
of his sweetheart, may be very sure
that he will live in abject terror OF
his wife, for the girl who does not
conceal her temper before marriage,
will not hesitate to give 1t full rein
after marriage. When she Is husband
hunting a woman puts her best foot
fofemost, and it is a safe bet to esti-
mate her faults at about ten times
their apparent face value.
We speak of marriage as a gamble.
a lottery, a leap in the dark. 1t Is
that only because we shut our eyes to
the danger signals that every man
and woman unconsciously hold out,
and that we might see in time to save
ourselves if we were mot purblind
fools.
Any man in his senses, for instance,
must know that if he marries a girl
with whom he always has TO agree to
save a row, he will be henpecked out
of his life.
The man who marries the girl who
is suspicious and jealous, would never
even dare to take his own mother
out to lunch after he is married.
The man who marries the girls who
runs her own family, and whose
mother and father are afraid of her.
will never be anything but an upper
servant in his own house.
The man who marries a girl who
dresses beyond her means will toll all
of his days to pay her bills. and never
be more than a jump ahead Of the
sheriff.
The man who marries a sloppy,
iuntidy, shiftless girl will have to eat
meals that would kill an ostrich, and
live in a house that is like pig sly.
The man who marries a nervous.
neurotic girl will pass an exciting ex-
istence between Mysteries and scenes.
Whereas, on the other hand, the
man who marries a good natured, SEN
sible, reasonable, thrifty girl may
count on getting a wife whose price is
above rubies, and who will be a real
helpmate to him.
There are plenty of both kinds OF
girls. and if a man gets the wrong
sort it is his own fault because he
picks her out. She's his choice.
If a nan wants to be happy, tho
married. let him watch out for the
dagger signal and when a girl flashes
the red light of a high temper, or un-
reasonabIeness. or extravaganza, or
laziness, and thriftlessness before him
to beat it back to safety.

Charles, a prisoner in the hands OF
the people over whom he made an
abortive attempt to re-establish SOW

terse message through the Associ-

Charles and eXEmpress Zita were
seen by the correspondent as they
paused at the railway station OF
Saskatchewan. near the shores of
Lake Balton, on their way to Tihany
abbey from EsterhaZy castle, where
the erstwhile roSal pair were cap
tured after last Sundays battle.
Except for the military escort, the
eX-rulerS gave no appearance of be-
ing prisoners. Charles looked fresh
in his generals uniform and the eX-
empress was neatly clad in a plain
gray dress.
Prince Esterhazy. their host during
their brief sojourn at Tata Tovars,
was accompanying them to their new
temporary residence.

band of university students, armed with

I'd into line. Hungarys fate hung in
the balance during that time, it is
asserted here. The students had in
trenched themselves along a ridge
of hills, and received forces support
ing Charles with d hot machine gun
fire. Military leaders of Charles eX-
pedition reported that the students
position must be bombarded. but
Charles was loath to issue orders to
this effect.
II am sorry for the poor boys" he
is quoted as saying. TRY to persuade
them that resistance is hopeless"
Parleys began, but in the meantime
government troops were hurried for
ward from Budapest and occupied the
ridge held by the students.
AS result, ii was found when
Charles gave the orderNto attack that
the battle was already lost.

the conspiracy to place Charles upon
the Hungarian throne is now engaged

Small land owners and the landed
