Foolish Men and a Beauty.

Peggy Hopkins Joyce, an American girl who
Is now favoring Paris with her attractive pres
ence, should not be condemned because rich
young man, the husband of another, killed him
self when she refused to accept him as wooer
in preference to another. Neither is the wo-
man to be acclaimed for her adventures
She is largely creature of circumstances, and
when one considers the stormy career that she
haid and her bank account as well as she
has. Most women who have played the role
that Peggy is filling have finished
tragically and there is no assurance
that she is yet safely over the rocks.
She is travelling dangerous route, and one that
can bring little real happiness and content
me1t to the one pursuing it, despite the fact
that it is attended by every pleasure and COM
fort obtainable through wealth and influential
associations.
Peggy has capitalized her fascination for
men, for it must be admitted that she yields
an unusual power over those who seek her
companionship. She started life as poor
child, but chiefly because of her remarkable
beauty she became a stage favorite, and from
that the rest easy But Pesgy early re-
solved to make people pay for her favors, and
she has demonstrated that she is no piker for
where ordinary beauties collected thousands,
she raked in millions and she is still at it

Defining a Sport Suit.

What and when is a sport suit? This is
not fashion item, but a very practical issue
OF internal revenue which has been put up to
the United States treasury department. The
new revenue law imposes a tax of 10 per cent
on hunting and shooting garments and riding
habits This tax is paid by the manufactures
or importer. The prosaic members of con-
gress who drew the revenue law had no idea
there was such fine distinction in the habili-
ments of various people, making it very diff
cult TO draw the line between working clothes
and sports clothes.
For example: pair OF laced breeches may
be a part of the riding habit of Il gentleman's
outfit In that case the garment is subject
to q 10 per cent tax. The same garment is de-
manded for rough outdoor work. such as that of
surveyors, in which case it is not a sports
garment Mackinaw coats are also subject to
a=dual use AS result of these conditions OBJ
tanning in several kinds of garments the repre-
ssntatives OF the internal revenue department
and that of the National Association of Ger
nnsnt Manufacturers are cooperating in an at
tempt to formulate definition of work cloth
lug that will distinguish it from sports clothing
and at the same time make it impossible for
to evade the tax on sports
clothes by selling them under other names.

Changes in Kansas.
appreciated

Alexander Howat former head of the coal
miners in Kansas, has returned to Jail to
serve out the last half of his sentence imposed
by the Kansas industrial court The most
casual observer will see that a change has
come over the situation in Kansas mines since
Howat was first sentenced. When he went to
the Columbus county Jail to serve six months
he said he would take the whole sentence and
ask no compromise, and that there would not
be pound of coal mined in Kansas while he
was in Jail.
When his term was half over, Howat ap-
pealed his case and got out under bond and his
promise to obey the law while at liberty He
also found after his release that most of the
mines in Kansas were working the miners
having deserted his leadership. The return of
Howat to Jail to serve out his term causes
little excitement in Kansas now, whereas
year ago he would have been followed to Jail
by mob OF radicals bowling for revenge. Re-
ports indicate that there is no general spirit of
oisooedience toward the industrial law at
present, and Howat's leadership instead of
inspiring others to disobey the law, has only
served as warning to them.

Where Spirit Hunter Is Not Needed.

We should not scott when a Chicago wo-
man tells the psychcal research society of
that city that the fairies do the work on her
farm. Land spirits she calls them which
seems a proper name for them, since it is
they who keep the water in the spring pure
and make the crops grow. Why, the laughers
would have US think these kindly farm aids
never had been heard of before, that they are
just new discovery of the spiritualists who
are constantly producing evidence of that sort
to prove their theories. But the land spirits
are not of the new school of ghosts at ALL
They have always been known and have the
responsibility of age and the sanction of the
highest traditions both of farm lore and litera-
ture. But they school by themselves
You don't catch them tipping tables or giving
directions to find diamonds in the attic They
employ no medium and haunt no city flats.
Probably the best account We have of the do
ings of the land spirits is in Millions "L'Alle-

Milton dealt with well authenticated facts
in his poem. They must have been facts for
him to have recorded them. Nobody ever pre-

does the poet make that claim. But the evil
dence of his presence was deemed conclusive
There was the empty cream bowl that had
been left full, and there was the corn threshed
In those old English days nobody thought of
summoning a psycEical researcher to come
and catch the spirit at work. at enjoying his

had all they wanted. It's pity the Chicago
psychists can't let the land spirits of this iii

and the next We hear probably they will have
their ablest experts hiding behind the door in

I wonder how many men would

And for that matter. Eve-but we
need not go so far back. Fifteen

the rage among girls and women
in jails and the institutions for de-
