MATTERS OF TASTE.

Vachell Lindsay, the Hoosier poet, is thrilling fashionable Lon don with his lectures.
 MT. Lindsay mystifies London quite as much as he thrills 1t. At a dinner in Belgrave Square he said:
 ''This pheasant is high, very high. It is queer taste to like high pheasant. The Piute Indians are very fond of the material which composes printing rollers"
 MT. Lindsay ate little pheas- ant. Then he went on calmly:
 q remember a Piute brave who used to come into Carson City and hang round the office of the Appeal to eat the rollers. When nobody was looking he would sneak up and take bite out of the roller on the press. These Flutes used to like the rollers best in summer when the composition was soft. They would chew and eat them like caramels."
 MT. Lindsay looked round the table placidly.
 q am sure," he ended, ''the Ne vada Flutes would like high pheas- ant"

ALLOWED TO TAG OYSTERS
United States Patent Office Hands Down Decision in Case of i1-
 fringement Claim.

The United States patent office, only the other day, decided a dis pute concerning the validity of a patent which had been granted for an oyster tag.
 The idea involved was that of identifying oysters by fastening metal tag to the under shell of each one, indicating the source from which they came. When served on the half-shell, they would carry a sort of guarantee with them.
 The owners of the patent sued a rival concern which ventured to tag its own oysters. Infringement was claimed. But the patent office de- cided that the complaint was with out merit, inasmuch as a tagged oyster was not a manufactured product, nor an invention in any proper sense. It declared that ex- elusive rights in a tagged spring chicken might as reasonably be claimed; and, accordingly, the pat ent was pronounced Void.-Phila- delphia Ledger.

DIED HEARING FAVORITE SONG
Alpine Guide Froze to Death in CreVasse While Friends Sang
 Words He Loved.

With the strains of his favorite folk song ringing in his ears Jean Weber, an Alpine guide, froze to death in a crevasse of the famous Glarnisch stock glacier.
 Weber was traversing the glacier with group of companions. He slipped and plunged down 40 feet into a gaping crevasse. Although he was not injured, he was wedged between the walls of ice so that he could not move.
 No ropes were long enough to reach him, so the stoutest of the party made the hazardous descent to the little town of Linthal for aid. Others remained behind to cheer the incased guide. They sang one after another of the songs that Weber had known and loved since childhood:
 As he felt death was drawing near, Weber cried to them to "sing one more song" They sang his fa- vorite. He listened with his face upturned appeahngly toward his companions. Before the last verse of the song had been completed Weber died.
 The rescue party travelled all night carrying ropes and axes to free the victim, but arrived too late. The next day they returned to Lin thai bearing his body.

The Poll Tax!
The House Need Not Hesitate
to Kill 1t

IL forms of taxation is the poll tax. This because
lit ignores the question Of ability to pay.
| 1t assesses the same burden upon the pauper as
upon the millionaire, the same upon the cripple as
upon the able-bodied, twice as much upon the mar
ried home-owner with big family as upon the rich
bachelor who inherited his wealth.
The state senate made a mistake in passing this
bill The house should not hesitate to kill it.
The poll tax, moreover, is one Of the hardest taxes
to collect. 1t will need an army of collectors
Designed to raise the money with which to pay
the soldiers bonus, the poll tax will be imposed upon
the very service men it is supposed to aid. 1t will be
imposed upon penniless service and upon wound
ed veterans as well as upon their more fortunate
comrades; it will be imposed upon hungry veterans
as well as upon those who have their fill.
The poll tax has been declared unconstitutional in
many states 1t should be so declared in this state.
Unfair and unjust, the house should make short
shrift of it

he shook hands. he tried his best to
read the mountalneer's expression. II
was all too plain: an undeniable look
of disappointment.
The truth was that even In spite OF
all the Chamber of Commerce head had
told him, Lennox had still hoped to
find some image of the elder Dan
Failing In the face and body OF his
grandson. Because Of the thick
glasses, I4ennox could not see the
young mans eyes; but he didn't think
Il likely they we're Mt all like the eyes
with which the elder Failing saw his
way through the wilderness at night.
or course he was tall, just as the ia
nous frontiersman had been, but
while the elder weighed one hundred
and ninety pounds, bone and muscle,
this man did not touch one hundred
and thirty. Evidently the years had
brought degeneracy to the Failing clan.
Lennox was desolated by the thought.
He helped Dan with his bag to a lit
tie why automobile that waited be-
side the station. They got into the
two front seats, and moment later
were starting up the long, curved
road that led TO the Divide.
During the hour that they were
crossing over the foothills. on the way
to the big timber, Sllas Lennox talked
n great deal about the frontiersman
that had been Dams grandfather. A
mountain man does not use profuse
adjectives. He talks very simply and
very straight. and often there are long
sllences between his sentences. Yet
he conveys his ideas with entire clear
ness.
Dan realized at once that II he
could be, In LennOx's eyes, one-fifth
of the man his grandfather had been,
he would never have to fear again the
look of disappointment with which his
host had greeted him at the station.
But instead of reaching that high
place, he had only-death. He knew
what his destiny was in these quiet
