ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Nancy and Nick were certainly
having a fine time in Riddle Land.
Not only did they like the Riddle
Lady with her merry smile, and also
the people, from Humpty Dumpty to
the Tattered Man, but they loved to
guess the riddles!
They hoped the Fairy Queen would
let them stay for while--that is,
as long as there were any riddles to
guess.
They ran to meet the Riddle Lady
next day when she came. "What is
it about this time?" begged Nancy.
The Riddle Lady laughed. "It's
about queer creature" she said.
"The queerest creature you ever
heard of. What is it?
"A leg On each one of his corners,
And whiskers each side Of his nose,
And a nice little tail
That sticks up like sail,
And follows wherever he goes.
"His nose is the funniest ever!
It's black and it's cold land it's wet
If it's dry and it's hot,
Mother says like as not
It's sign that his tummy's upset.
"He's fondest of bones and of candy
But he dearly loves morsels of meat
| And he stands up and begs
On his funny hind legs
If he thinks you have anything
sweet.

All covered with sticks and will

Is a queer little mound
Where he's dug up the ground
And buried the most of his bones.

And chases them round through tn

I have never before heard you speak
in such an ugly way. Do you mean
to tell me that you expect me to go
on without hearing any explanation
of this matter if you do not choose
to give it to me?"
"Certainly l do. You would have
gone On if you hadn't happened to
come upon Ruth while she was de-
posting the money in the safe. The
longer live the more subscribe
to that old adage about ignorance
and bliss.
"Do. you mean to tell me, Jack,
that you have not done anything nor
that your friends have done any
thing since we have been married,
that you have not told me? Seems
to me you have forgotten that you
have refused to throw any light
upon the birth and parentage of
John Alden Prescott Junior, because
you have wanted to shield Sydney
Carton.
"Well, Jack, in this matter, if
there is anything to shield, l may
choose to shield my friend, as you
chose to shield yours"
Jack could say nothing, little Mar
quise, but then and there on the
first night of my return home, he
went out and slammed the door. AL
though it is lunch time and nearly
"a hours later, l have not seen hin,

DIET PRETENDS IT is CONGRESS.
The Japanese Diet is following oar
Congress very closely, so closely that
they had fight. Some Jap threw
glass at the Jap speaker. While now
a quaint old American custom, this
still carries out the prevailing spirit
in our Congress.
The glass missed the speaker. That
is the only difference. If it had been
thrown in our Congress it would have
hit the speaker.
Now change Of Diet has been or
dered in Japan. Maybe somebody
was feeding the members on raw
meat.
Tom Gibbons will meet Jack Demp-
sey in Florida, but it will be on
social basis. There will be no fight
because these two gents can't afford
to fight until enough money has been
offered to make them mad.

tell him also that had sold some
of the pearls to get the money he
thought my mother had given me
to pay his debts. So l just kept still.
But there was one thing l was

be sacrificed. OF course she had

sibility in keeping the money around.

must not speak to me in the way

Jack miserably, "but, Leslie, you

REDUCING TAXES

In all this cyclone of talk about reducing taxes let's
remember that national taxes not the only A
government bulletin reveals these surprising figures:
In 1923 the national government collected 1904 million
dollars of No 1923 figures completely available
yet for states countless Cities towns and rural districts
But in 1922 these combined collected 4228 million dollars in
taxes, or nearly third more than national taxes.
The tax burden of the American people is somewhere
around and half million dollars year-incudng
all taxes national state county, municipal, and so
This is about $40 year for every and child.
For family of five, it averages $3.50 year.
The actual burden much greater for passing taxes
to there is usually additional levy to
play SAFE
While nearly and half billion dollars of taxes
collected in year from the American people, government
spending is much larger The deficit is taken of by
bond issues So the future is increasingly mortgaged and
the burden of debt which interest must be paid
steadily. An eventual day of reckoning is inevitable
The national debt decreasing But the total debts OF
sates counties and municipalities increasing Put the
brakes Uncle SAM fine! But put them also Sans AZ
