PRESIDENT Harding Tuesday

PRESIDENT Harding Tuesday
vetoed the soldiers bonus bill,
informing Congress that while
he was in accord with the avow-
ed purposes" of the measure he
did not subscribe to its provis-
ions. This lmeans that the SOL
diers' bonus is dead for the time
being, asj it is improbable that
the Senate will pass the bill over
the Presidents veto.

She would have bundled him out Of
the house at once and he rather liked
the fOrsaken old tomb.
He was tired that night when he
came back to the gloomy house.
Through the thick shrubbery that sur
rounded it he saw the pin point of
red light that indicated the hall lamp.
He was not allowed to have key, so
he pulled the knob and heard the
jangliag bell far below. Up from the
bowels of the earth came Mrs. Beggs
tramping like a grenadier.
She smiled wanly at him. At hope

- he hesitated. Should he tell?
"Only what?"
Nothing, Mrs. Beggs, thank YOU"
and he went upstairs in an absent
minded way.
When he was inside OF the room,
with the door closed, he suddenly put
down HIS burden and leaned against
the panels; he was not alone.
Somewhere in that dim chamber
was another living. breathing form.
he heard little rustling sound from
the corner and knew that the intruder
was hiding In the shadow OF the great
four-pOster bed. He had heard light
step and he knew that a woman was
there.
He took out his pocket hashllght
and suddenly swung it around the
room. The dim depths OF the ancient
mirror held a picture that startled
him.
Pressed against the curtains OF the
bed, stood the slim form Of a girl
dressed in white. He saw a lovely
heart-shaped face and wide-startled
dark eyes. Because OF the shame and
fear In her face, he turned away as
IL he had seen nothing, snapped on
the light. and strolled to the window,
looking out at :he starry sky.
He heard her slipping past him in
the dark room and he longed to stop
her. tAes frOn the door, q soft, break

About shelIfsh.

Shellf1sh are older than man. They
lived upon the earth many years, per
haps thousands of years and perhaps
thousands of centuries, before the
first man or the first ape that looked
like a man came to live upon our
sphere. Nobody knows the time when
the shellfish came or when man came,
but the shells of shellfsh and the i'm
preston of their bodies are found in
older strata of the earth than any
strata which give evidence of the ex-
iStence of man. The United States ge-
illogical survey has said so. It has
said that the mOllusca, one of the
great divisions of the animal kingdom,
''have existed since the earliest recog-
nized advent of life upon the globe,
many millions of years before the first
man inhabited it."

A Ghost and a
Pink Slipper
By ROSE MEREDITH

g 1871 Dy Mcclure Newspaper syndicate
Dick Carson knocked at the base
ment door behind which lurked his
landlady, and when her long, palIid
cOuntenance pOked out suspiciOusly, he
removed his straw hat.
Mrs. Beggs, you didn't tell me that
your house was haunted" he accused.

"Ghost in my room last night"
az never had a ghost here in my

Dick laughed. This is a fine old
hOuSe-it must have been a beautiful
mansion once upon time, and there
might be a ghost of the past haunt
ing it. You told me that l was the
only roOmer here and that you and
your husband lived alone, yet"
He replaced his hat, picked up his
painting kit and strOlled down the
road toward the beech woods where
he WIS going to finish a picture of
the brown brook.
As he went he thought of the strange
old house where he had found a room
wherein he might sleep quietly at
night. though he obtained his meals
at the village inn. He thought Of the
big clean room, filed with ancient fur
niture, and the silent untenanted 9th

from his coat pocket little pink satin
slipper.
He had found it in front of his bed

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
The following statement is issued
by Collector Of Internal Revenue, H.
H. Motter, of the district of Wichita,
Kansas, February 6, 1922:
To save themselves time and
trouble, and, in many cases, unneces-
sary expenditures, taxpayers having
business with the income tax unit of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue at
Washington and desiring conference
with officials in connection Herewith,
are advised to ask for such conference
in advance.
A number of taxpayers and their
representatives appear at the income
tax unit without appointment, and
ask immediate hearings. Frequently
the conference cannot be held at
once for the reason that the papers
and information relating to the case
must be assembled or the proper
official may be otherwise engaged.
The result is a delay of day or two,
and added cost to the taxpayer in the
way of hotel bills. etc.
Requests for conference should be
addressed to the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, Washington, D. c.,
together with a statement of all the
facts in connection with the cases,
and he purpose for which it is desired.
The taxpayer will be informed by let
ter or telegram of the date appointed
for the conference.

Peddlinn Mastsrnieoes.

The Seventeenth or Eighteenth cen
fury author traded rather on the trust
fulness Of the public than does the new
school. for he peddled his book before
it was written. and sometimes spent
the proceeds before he had completed
half a dozen chapters. The only differ
ence is that his peddling was particu-
lar rather than general; he went round
the houses of the great and wealthy
with his plan" and the great and
wealthy, generally in sufficient num-
hers, got rid OF him by agreeing to
have their names put down for sub
scriptiOn. If they were very great or
very wealthy they might expect a dedi-
cation thrown in, as it were, in which
respect the modern peddler has an adj
vantage, for no obligation is inn
piled in the purchase of a copy Of the
Guardian.

Life Not Easy for All.

Life is easy only to those-Whether
they be rich or pOOr-whO fail to COM
prehend its meaning, who refuse or
are unable to see that duties are i'm
mensely more important than rights,
who are wholly without a sense Of re-
spOnsib1ity, and who think OF tempta-
ton as an Indifferent thing to which
men may yield or not just as they
chOOse-the yielding rather being
taken as a proof OF broad-mindedness.
Life is easy to those who take the
easy way and to no Others-nOt even
always to them, since slackness is al
ways likely to bring its penalty. The
mere business OF living is, therefore,
itself a very good substitute for war.

The door opened and closed softly
and she was gone from the room. but
not from his dreams.
The next morning. Mrs. Beggs was
waiting for him at the foot of the
stairs. Did you hear any ghosts last
night, Mr.. Carson?" she asked.
Nothing unpleasant, save the wind
in the treetOps." he answered. when
a sweet voice floated down the stairs.
Explain it to him. Sarah, please =
Yes. Miss Mona" and Mrs. Beggs
explained that Miss Mona was one of
the heirs TO the old house and some
times she stayed there unknown to
anybody while she wrote stories and
poems. please keep it a secret IN
til the estate is settled-then Miss
Mona will come here to live
'Tn promise silence, if the ghost
will promise to walk in the garden
sometimes" declared Dick, looking up
fhe wide stairway.
He saw a white hand over the
upper banister. then the other pink
satin slipper came flying down and
saucily struck against his heart. Dick
kissed the little slipper and put it in
his pocket. Mrs. Beggs saw nothing
as she plOdded away, nor did she hear
the soft laughter that fioated down
the stairs. the sweet prelude TO a
wonderful love story.

CHICAGO, March Railroads, be-

When business resumes, they will
have an accumulation of locomotives
and ears out of order which will have

eastern lines, in supporting the appli-
cation Of roads for permission to reduce
wages.
