Dear Miss Deane:
whether I am living or dead when
you read these words, you will know
that I love you. Could l repeat that
avowal a million times, in as many
varied forms, l should find no better
phrase to express the dream | have
cherished since happy fate permitted
me to snatch you from death. So l
simply say, L love you I will con-
tinue to love you whilse life lasts, and
it is my dearest hope that in the life
beyond the grave l may still be able
to voice my love for you.
But perhaps I am not destined to
be loved by you. Therefore, in the
the island, wish to give you instruc-
tions how to find a gold mine of great
value which is hidden in the rock con-
tanning the cave. You remember the
sign on the piece of tin which we
could not understand. The figure 50
denotes the utmost depth of the ex
cavation, and the signifies that one
foot below the surface, on reaching
the face of the rock, there is rich
vein of gold The hollow on the other
side of the cliff became filled wit,
anhydrate gas, and this stopped the
operations of the Chinese, who evil

mine This is all the information the
experts employed by Sir Arthur Deane
will need The facts are unquestion-

Assuming that I am alive, we will,
of course, be co-partners in the mine.
If l am dead | wish one-sixth share
to be given to my uncle, William An
struther, Crosswaite Manor, Northal-
lerton, Yorkshire, as a recompense for
his kindness to me during my early
life. The remainder is to be yours alb
solutely.

Cigarette Tax to Shift
Burden from More Sedate

MADISON-Taxes on cigarettes, as
proposed in the recent bill introduced
in the assembly by S. ]. Gwidt, of
Rhinelander would shift some of the
taxation burdens now resting on gen
eral property, to the younger genera
ton who get ali of the benefits of
taxation without paying any of the
taxes, according to the author of the
bill.
Young men who habituate pool
halls, and who enjoy all of the ad-
vantages of government and cOnven-
fence supported by taxation should
shoulder some of the expense of those
conveniences," Gwidt said. "My bill
does not seek to restrict or stop the
use of cigarettes, but merely attempts
to spread the burden of taxation Oevr
a larger field"
The bill provides for 2 cent tax
on each package of 20 cigarettes, and
would raise about $5,00O000 annually,
according to Mr.. Gwidt.
"The man who smokes package
of cigarettes day." he added, "would
pay about $3.50 a year toward the
support of the government"

In wedding announcement it is
customary to put the date of the cere-
mony (and even the year, which is
not engraved on n wedding invitation)
and the place, that is, the city, in
which the ceremony took place. So,
you are planning on sending announce
ments you should include both these
details, thus carrying out the formali-
ty of the announcement. But, in the
sending of announcements after Sc
cret marriage that is so long after,
there is no rule of etiquette. The only
way to figure out what to do Is to
make the procedure as reasonable and
sensible as possible and as inconspicu-
Gus.
II you have really made up your
mind to send out announcements, well
and good. but, IL you are hesitating
about it, l am not sure that I should
advise you to do it. Such a delayed
formality seems to me to call cOmpcll-
ing attention to the informality of
the wedding. Why not write little
notes to your close friends, and
that will surely spread the news. How
ever, this is for you to decide.
(2) One must always regard for

the most formal way, and when we are
planning one. every detail must be en-

"Once upon a time in ancient
Greece there was a great king who
ruled over the kingdom of Thebes.
And in those days people were very
superstitious and believed in prophe'
cies and oracles.
"Now, as it happened, it had. been
foretold that this king would be
killed by his own son. And. since
people were different from us in those
days, the king, when son was born,
carried it far out into the woods to
leave it there to perish.
"The baby's name was Oedipus, and
the king went back to his palace
thinking that he was very secure and
would not have to worry about the
prophecy coming true. e.
But herdsman walked through
the forest about this time and hearing
the cries of the infant went at once
to find him. The herdsman was a
very kind man, took the baby in his
arms and carried him to his home
in Corinth and brought him up.
"Oedipus grew up into a fine man.

city.
"Corinth and Thebes were enemies
the two cities were always fight
ing with each other-and once in a
conflict Oedipus met the King of
Thebes-not knowing he was his
father-and slew him as he would
have slain any enemy.

As IL the new electric coasters
which turn the toast and do every
thing but butter IL didn't make the
getting of breakfast easy enough, there
are among breakfast foods two ready
to-heat IL not ready-to-eat toasty
things that make delightful change

these have been ON the market for a
long time-so long in fact that they
may have been forgotten.
One of these is ready-made zwie-
bach which is so well dried that If it
has been well kept it scarcely needs

other reasons, must have or prefer this
type of toast will find the breakfast

FOXY CRANDPA'S STORIES
Oedipus and the Sphinx.

"Oedipus was very much surprised
to know that the king of Thebes was
dead, because he did not even know
that the enemy he had slain was the
king.
"Thebes was in great distress at
that time-not only because their king
was dead, but because there was a
great monster which crouched on a
hill near Thebes waiting to kill any
one who passed by. This creature had
the body of a lioness and the face
of a woman. 1t was called the
Sphinx.
"The reason she wished to kill all
who came near her was because no
one could answer her riddle.
But Oedipus was a very courageous
man, and when he passed the Sphinx
one day he went boldly up to her and
asked her what this great riddle was
that no one could answer"
What was it, Foxy Grandpa?"
asked Bobby.
This was the riddle" I replied.
What is it--a wonderful creature
that first goes on four legs, then
on two, and at last on threc?r ''-- '-

monster that at once they crowned
Oedipus king.

had done. Then he gave up his king

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


1 have been planning for some time
to have a little party, inviting only
young girls and their friends. l have
been told that it would be improper
to have boys who have not been TO my
house before. As ] know the girls l
do not think it would be improper to
invite their boy friends. Would you
kindly advise me in this matter?
(2) The boy who l would like to
invite has never been to my house be-
fore but I have known him for two
years as he and / have gone to the
same school. Kindly advise me also
whether he should or should not come
to NV party, Err.
In these informal and friendly days
it would be proper for you TO invite
the boys who are good friends of the
girls whom you are inviting, even il
they have not before been to your
home. What / do advise you to do
is to have the girls give you their
addresses and then you write a cor
dial little note OF invitation 70 them
to come to the party. They they will
be convinced that you are we'll
bred hostess as well as hospitable
one.

being invited to the party, and there
is no reason why you should not invite
