BOARDS d. C. FREIGHT
The gunman fled from the

and is believed to have swung
aboard a fast Washington bound
freight train.
Special details of detectives and
railroad policemen were rushed to
the Baltimore and Ohio freight
yards here after receiving WORD
of the shooting to search all in
coming trains.
The gunman, accompanied by
two colored men. was taken into
custody by Lins when he found
the trio lettering near a freight
car. Lins took the men to the
signal tower for questioning.
SUSPECT OPENS FIRE

whipped out a revolver which re

Fornwalt was busy at his in
struments when he was felled.
Although wounded, Lins drew

perado and the two colored
men, who took no part in the
battle, as they scrambled out ot

STOCK MARKET DROPS

For three months the stock mar
ket, which is supposed TO be the
barometer of business, has been
churning round and round, but not
getting anywhere. Some weeks the
spectators feel blue, and they sell
their stocks. Some weeks they feel
cheered up, and they buy them back
At the end of the process the finan-
cial barometer is about where it was
before. 1t doesn't exactly say fair
weather, nor exactly storm, and il
seems to point rather strongly to-
ward change.
The startling drop Of last October
was due to indications of business
decline. During the early part of
1897. prices of goods and commodi-
ties went up too fast. Wages were
advancing. the factories were run
ming on short hours, and probably
many concerns had an exaggerated
idea of the prices that could be
charged. The feeling that prices
were going up still more led business
peoDle and the general public to buy
with some freedom. Probably they
stocked up ahead of their needs
When they do that dull time al
ways follows. during which they use
uD the stocks they thus bought
ahead of immediate requirements.
Such a dull period can not last
very long, since the people are con-
suming goods every day. 1t should
not be many months before shortages
of products bring better times in the
factories. Then the stock market
will begin climbing again. and the
world will feel more cheerful.
Whatever can he done to remove
clouds of uncertainty from busi-
ness will put idle people to work.
Fears about high taxes and uncer-
tainty as to government policies
chill enterprise. and lead business
people to shiver with apprehension
and sit on their money bags. Their
may be overdone. Peo-
ME who have lost money in previous
freuhles have a wholesome dread OF
the fire in which they were burned.

HOW LINCOLN ROSE

Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday
is celebrated tomorrow. February 12
rose from a home of the utmost pow
erty. to be one of the nations great
est presidents. Looking upon that
example, no American boy should
say he has no chance. No American
girl should say the fates are loaded
against her. 4-. ...
The fate of each poor boy and girl
who start in humble and poverty
stricken homes depends on whether
such ones have sufficient desire and
energy to rise from their present
surroundings. They have to make a
certain choice. Abraham Lincoln
showed them how to make that
choice
How did he spend his time? The
historians tell us he spent very much
of it in reading the worlds best
books. Meanwhile other boys must
have been fooling away their time in
futile idling. Probably those other
boys thought Little Abe was a good
deal of fool TO spend so much time
reading books. while it was so much
easier to lie around and do nothing
or to play foolish games that taught
them nothing.
Little Abe had different idea.
He read and he studied such books as
the Bible. the plays of Shakespeare,
Pilgrims Progress" the history of
the United States, and the Life of
Washington. He learned from those
books that the way to success is
open to any youth who is willing to
work. He only had about year of
schooling in all, books were extreme
ly scarce, and probably he rarely
ever saw a newspaper. But he was
determined to learn. and he did.
The child in the humblest home to-
day has far better chance than
ever Abe Lincoln had. The modern
child has excellent schools, and
teachers who will give their time
generously to aid him. 1t could be
wished that more of the youngsters
would decide to follow that example.

ON THE SQUARE WITH TIME

'SThe Calendar Lady was receiv-
ed with a generous welcome by the
Board of Directors of the General
Federation of WOmen's Clubs in
Washington recently. In her address
Miss Elizabeth Achelis, president OF
the World Calendar Association,
chose an interesting theme in ques-
tionlng whether the present calen-
tiar is functioning on the square with
us, and whether we are living on the
square with the calendar. From that
she reasoned that the quarterly di-
vision OF the year is a sound fOun-
dation for the World Calendar OF
twelve months. All quarters are
equal; the first of the three months
In every quarter has 81 days.
1.-The Calendar Lady" has convert
ed people all over the world that her
plan is practical. Many nations have
given It approval. II meets with ia
gor In the League of Nations. She
has all the answers to the problems
of ''being on the square with time"
1t appears TO work out something
like this:
Thirty-one days has January. sQuar-
ing the arch
With 30 days for February and
March.
Aprifs 81 days keep in tune
With 80 days for May and June.
July has 81 days, as you'll remem-
Der
With 30 each for August and Sep
tember.
october's 81 consistently are fair
November and December balance the
square.
A year-end day evens the plan OF
time,
And leap-years are left TO balance
this rhyme.

TIE DREADED INCOME TAX

Some people remark that the an
nual job of making out an income
tax return is form Of torture
Their heads ache over the cOmpli-
Gated tables and perplexing ques-
tions. They ask why the law can not
be made simpler. in which people
shall he directly taxed on their in
come, without deductions, computa-
tions. figures of gains and losses, etc.
etc?
These complications are due most
ly TO the attempt to put the heavier
weight of the taxes on those best
able TO pay No statesman will ever
be able to devise tax system that
will satisfy everybody. Insofar as
they can make the tax easy to under
stand. the revenue authorities will
save many bad words.
The income tax made it possible
to finance the world war, and to
fight the depression. The great sums
called for by these emergencies could
never have been raised by any such
taxation system as the country had
25 years ago. At that time the gov
ernment was only able to raise some
s700. 900. 900 year. Now it may
spend that ahount in five or six
weeks. The new system of taxation
has enabled the government to fl
nance a vast range of projects never
possible at the beginning of this
century.
Some will say this access to great
new sources of revenue has en-
courased extravaganza and will con-
tinue to do so. But it is doubtful II
our people would he satisfied unless
money was spent freely to relieve the
destitute, carry on great enterprises.
and protect the country from war
dangers.
In spite of all faults, we have the
best government in the world, the
best opportunities for progress.
These things have to be paid for. II
it seems burden to pay an income
tax, the taxpayers can reflect that
1OO,OOO,OO0 others would be glad to
pay that assessment, if their income
was only large enough to be tax
able.

CupTp,s FIERY pARTs

When the artists draw pictures to
illustrate st. Valentines day, Febru-
ary IA, they are accustomed to draw
sketches OF Little Cupid, the god OF
love, who is seen discharging his lit
lie arrows at the tender hearts of
youth, and injecting them gith the
passion of love. It looks in the pic
lures like quite a sportive enter
tainment. '-.'
Many young people who have
fallen in love will say it is any
thing but sportive. They find them
selves stung by a real arrow. The
arrows with which the old ancient
peoples used to contend were power
full weapons, making very severe
wounds and capable Of killing peo-
pie. Cupid's darts are often equally
dangerous and destructive.
Many youngsters stricken with
these darts find life anything but
happy. They lose their appetite,
they can't sleep, they can't give due
attention to work and study. Their
hearts are torn with jealousy, or
racked because of the naughty indif-
ference of the loved one.
What shall be said to comfort
those suffering from such wounds?
They can reflect that in the Bible.
Jacob worked seven years to obtain
the right to marry Rachel: It was
written that those years seemed but
a few days, for the love that he had
for her. Love is not so deep now
that many men will work seven years
to win the girl they love.
For those for whom love brings
Dnly disappointment, they can recall
he old saying that the fish left in the
tea are as good as those that have
been caught. Those for whom love
has run smooth, have what is per-
laps life's greatest blessing. The
I'D idea about "lOve in a cottage" is
lot dream. Better q humble home
where love reigns. than palace
when il is absent.
