Haze uou Z his Habit?
By Margaret Morrison

ingtonI made this myself-Pm a
great cook, you know. Oh, I'm not
going to let you refuse-it goes with
duck as matter of course. That's
right-just little more"
Twice had he been routed, but he
swore that his Amazonian hostess
should not over-urge him to single
other dish.
'Lillie, give Mr. Worthington some
sweet potato. You're not paying any
attention to his plate. He doesn't
care for any more? Nonsense Just
don't take mo- for an answer"
SO the conversation went through
the whole meal. II Worthington
steered to plays or politics, he was
brought back peremptorily to pickles !;
and, as they got up from the table, he
felt as If he had been beaten at a
hard-fought game Of tennis.
After that, he and Lille once more
saw each other away from her home.
and his old impression Of charm and
beauty came back to him. But he al
ways managed to dodge Mrs. Wedge
woods rather pressing invitations to
the Wedgewood house. Then Lille
told him-things had progressed as
far as that--that her mother was be-
ginning to think strangely of his con-
tinual regrets. With sigh he ac-
copied for Sunday lunch.
After sticking out for only one
round Of chicken he crumblea After
that he decided to take ry;hing
that was offered Three helpings to
croquettes, four times to preserve,
salad twice, ice cream and coffee over
again was the result. Mrs. Wedge
wood was delighted-she felt that she
had done well by Lille. And when
young Worthington abruptly trans
ferred his attentions to a total stran-
ger, she never suspected that her hab-
it of urging hospitality had anything
whatever to do with it.

TOO MUCH HOSPITALITY

THERE was no doubt that young
: Worthington was very much inter
ested in Lille Wedgewood. They had
met at the house of a mutual friend
and Worthington had singled out Lille
from the first. Then of course their
friends threw them on every occasion
in each others way. But as yet Worth
ington had not seen Lille in her own
home. He. called to find out, and then
came an invitation to the Wedge
woods to dinner-a family affair II

seemed to sink into curious insight
icance. Indeed, for a whole course
Worthington almost forgot her; SC
taken up was his attention with heI
mother. For the lady at the head OF
the table was outdoing herself to be
hospitable.
''Mr. Worthingtorl, won't you have
some duck?' she began ordinarily
enough, as he was about half way
through his first helping.
THANK you. no, Mrs. Wedgewood, :
said the young man unsuspectingly
"Oh, you must take this piece OF

LEARNS ABOUT WITCHES

RENJI had not been what you
- would call good boy all day. He
had not been very bad, but he had
hidden book under his pillow which
his mother told him not to read at
night, and he had read some of the
stories about the bad witches that car
ried off folks and the COLLINS that
poked bad children with pointed
fingers and sharp-toed shoes.
Benji knew he was safe in his bed,
but when ne snuggled down under the
clothes somehow the floor sounded
just as if an old witch was tip
toeing around looking for some one
to carry off on her broomstick.
Benji opened one eye, the creak-
Ing was SO close to his bed, and he
thought his little heart stood still
only just for a part of a second,
though, for the old woman smiled

EMILY


IRON the Latin gems Aemilius is
derived the quaint simplicity of
Emily--or so it is believed. Emily's
origin is a trifle perplexing since some
hold that it is from the mythical
Anal Of the Gothic, but the latter
contention is not definite. Several OBJ
scure saints bore the name of Aemilius
or Aemilianus. Emilji was much used
in Russia as a masculine name.
In Spain hermit-St. Aemilianus-
was known as ST. Milhan, and thence
the name spread to Italy, where it be-
came Emilio. Due to Rousseau's edu-
cational work, Emile became popular
in France. The feminine form had
been forgotten when Boccaccio wrote
his s.Teseide'' and called the heroine
Emilia. 1t was at once translated, or
initiated in all languages. The Teu-
tons called her Amalie and Amalie Of
Mansfield and Amalie Of Wurtemburg
were among the famous women who
bore the name.
The daughter Of George III brought
it to England and was called Princess
Emily. Straightway it became preva-
lent in Europe, where it was often,
but enormously, confused with Anne
liza, Amy and Emma, which have far
different origin. Strange to say, no
well-known saint was named Emily,
and even De la Roche's beautiful de-
sign Of the queenly Sainte Amelie was
intended as a compliment to the queen
of Louis philippe, an Amalie which
came through Naples from Austria and
does not belong to Emily at all. The
French have called the name Emile
and bonn the English and Italians have
an Emilia.

"Whafs in a Narne?!''
FACTS about Jour name; its history;
meaning; whence it Was derived; signif-
canoe; your lucky day and lucky jewel

Everyone is familiar with Shelley's
verses to the lovely and unfortunate
Lady Emilia imprisoned in the convent
of st. Anne. Pisa:
I never thought before my death to see
Youths vision thus made perfect.
Emily,
love thee; thsagh the world by no
thin mama
will hide that love from its unvalued
shame.
Would we two had been twins of the
same mother,
Or, that the name my heart lent to
another
Could be a sisters bond for her and
thee,
Blending two beams in one eternityH'
Enily's stone is the onyx, but curl
ously enough it is not always lucky
gem and should be worn with ccre,
since it cools the ardor of love, pro-
vokes discord and separates lovers.
Yet to dream of onyx signifies happy
marriage. Friday is Emily's lucky day
and 6 her lucky number.

The new tax commissions returns
LOT last year show that the stocks
OF merchandise" paid nearly three
times the amount of taxes paid by all
the great metal mines of the state.
The past year the coal mine gross
license tax law turned into the state
treasury S154,41O.
You have not heard of the coal
mines of the state closing down or
threatening to close down on account
OF the new law that has now been in
force for three years.
Two years ago, the legislature
passed a z per cent gross license tax
on OIL production in Montana. Of
course, the oil companies fought it
bitterly, but you have not heard of
any OIL wells closing down in Mon
tana.
Until two years ago, the Pullman
Car company had never paid one
dollar in taxes on their Montana bust
ness. That year we enacted a 4~per
cent gross license tax on Pullman
car company business arising in Mon
tana and they paid it with out one
whimper.
In 1921 and in 1922. the Anaconda
Copper company and the Clark mines
in Butte each paid their metals
mines production into the state treas
ury, under this present met profit"
system, the sum OF one dollar. They
said in their returns for that year
that they did not make any net pro-
fits.
How much met profits" did the
farmers, stOckmen. merchants. and
bankers of the Bitter Root valley
make during those two years? And
still when November came you walk
ed up to the county treasurer's c.
flee and paid your taxes OF your
homes, your stores, your banks, and
on everything else that the assessor
could find-net profits or no net pro
fits.
But the big mining companies say:
Look at the great amount OF taxes
that We do pay on other property
owned by US" Of u they do,
Just the same as you or l pay on the
same kind of property.
Of the total taxes paid by the
Anaconda Copper company on this
! $50, 900 of assessed wealth, only
about one-sixth was for taxes on the
actual mining properties. the other
five-sixths Ct the taxes that year be-
ing on land, timber and other kinds
Of ordinary property.
No sane person would for n mo.
ment want to penaIize any great
mining company or any other indus
trial corporation any more than you
would want to be unfair to the poor
est dryland farmer or the smallest
merchant. No fair-minded nan want:

And various other similar sources.
Revenues for 1924
For the fiscal year ending july /
1924, about 45 per cent of the rev
emu to the state treasury came from
the property tax OF two mills Maid
by property owners, and the one and
a half mill property tax for the
Greater University. About SIS ner
cent came from the various license
tax above enumerated.
In many states, like New York and
Pennsylvania, no property tax what
eve Is levied for the support of the
state government, all state V
revenue being levied from var
ious kinds Of license tax.
For the fiscal year ending March
l 1920, 81 per cent of your state rev.
enue came from tax on p~ropertv and
only Is from license taxes.
How States Money is Spent
By far the greater portion of the
states revenue is spent in the main

these institutions the aggregate OF

The total ~~0ropriation bv the leg
stature for these institutions being
about 100000 in excess of the one
and one half mill tax levy on prop
erty.
At these four institutions last year
the student body numbered 1924
young men and women.
Vast Debt Accrues
But during these seven lean years

that by the enforcement of rigid

of this city and the purchase of
additional land, the first com.
prehensive figures pertaining to
actual costs of construction have

Bishop Atwood. A deficit OF
$2,315 still remains to bring the
amount up to the costs. OF this
