Atonement?

When William Butler Yeats was a
boy, his family moved from Dublin to
Bedford Park, as he relates in the
Dial. Yeats says, incidentally, that ne
was not much Of churchgoer, but
that he must have gone few times
because he remembers very clearly a
wooden sign which hung in the church
porch: "The congregation ARE re-
quested to kneel during prayers; the
kneelers are afterwards ITO be hung
upon pegs provided for the purpose.

INCOME TAX FOUR CENTS.
Because 1t Was Small He Was Able to
Paw La Lumn Sum.

The smallest income lax that has been
paid In the South Carolina revenue dis
trict. if not In the country. was paid at
the internal revenue office in the Pal
metto building in Columbia last Mon
day. More than that the record is
likely TO stand for while. A young
salaried man of Columbia paid a tax of
four cents.
The taxpayers salary was somewhat
more than $4,000, but certain deduc-
tIons brought the net income figure
down to $2,OO0.93. His income above
the exemption figure for a married per-
son being 50 cents, he was taxed per
cent Of this amount which is 3.72 cents.
He therefore paid Il tux of four cents
Collector W. Il. Bradley said, with Il
chuckle. that for once the taxpayer in
this case was quite willing to pay the
entire sum. "in IL lump" without re-
course 10 his privilege of settling the
account in quarterly installments. The
previous record holders, paying 10 or
20 cents, made ii Il point tn insist on
this privilge. :.

Broiled Loin Chops.

Remove superfluous fat and roll the
flank about the tenderloin, fastening
it with skewers. Place on broiler
creased with some OF the mutton fat.
Cook in hot oven six to eight minutes,
turning frequently during the first
part of the time and reducing the heat
as soon as the meat is well scared.
4 sauce. Of butter to which little
lemon juice and chopped parsley have
been added IS sometimes rubbed over
the chops. Since the chops themselves
contain much fat, lemon juice, and
parsley only may be used. or the chops
may be served on thin slices of lemon.
Some people consider onion sauce a
great delicacy for serving with broiled
chops.

often used for the same purpose.

When slices Of meat are used. let
it he cut as thin as Il wafer and use
more than one in each sandwich.

Warden Y. S. Sloan, of Charleston, has
been advocating in this column. This
plan. as Mr.. Slo: n has shown, could
be carried out easily if the money de-
rived from spurtsmen's hunting Ii
ccnscs were devoted wholly to game
protection and game propagation. The
whole state could be restockcd, prac-
tically without expense, with many
sorts Of game, and the experiment
would be profitable in every way for
the state and its people. The thing
has been done elsewhere and it can
be done more easily here than In most
other parts Of the country because
we have more game to start with.
The same thing applies TO the re-
