This happened in one of the middle western states, but that doesn’t matter. have happened anywhere. The doctor prescribed various things, and the'man departy |4 ed with his baby to a druggist. One of the things he had to buy was a bottle of cod liver oil. There was a war tax on it, but he thought more of his baby than the tax. He bought it. . Another of the items was zinc stearate—which only babies need—and this also was subject to tax. Again parential affec- tion triumphed over parsimony. He bought it. | As he was leaving the store he remembered that he needed bird seed for his canary. He asked for some, and was gratified _to learn that there was no tax. On his way home he reflected phllosophlca]ly—-—wnhout rancor. Yet he felt mystified. “Babies,” he thought, “are penahzed in the U. S. A. They are not encouraged to exist. It is more practlcal to keep a canary than a baby.” - | Long ago in England a marriage license cost three shillingg and sixpence, and a dog tax ten shillings. It cost more to be a. dog than a married man. The dog was the aristocrat. But there was method in this. It was unwise to dlscouh age the marriage ceremony ; some people are already too prone to dispense with it. And, although dogs are good pals, we are able to get on without them But to put a penalty on babies is a new idea. Bird seed; may be a necessity for raising certain necessary birds—but cer- tain medicines are unquestionably a necessity for raising neces- sary babies. Legislators appear to see them from the same viewpoint as apartment landlords. Congress has plenty of ideas, and some of them would be worth money to Mack Sennett. There are congressmen who ought to be writing subtitles for two-reel screams. RS R WHO’LL BITE? We are told that the railroads will. be returned, rebuilt and re-equipped, at a moment when the private owners could not posslbly finance them. It is injustice to tell people things like this. “ To tell a man a good fib may not deceive him, but it will probably, interest him.. He will enjoy the ingenuity of it, even if he doesn’t believe it. He will say “An attempt has at last been made to concoct something plausible. It is not, on the face of it, incredible, although it happens to be untrue. It does not insult my intelligence. I am not, in a werd invited to think that I am a credulous half-wit.” y A clumsy lie does positive harm to iifs inventor. It awak- ens suspicion, and antagonizes the man to whom it is told. He thinks that he is not considered worth the trouble of composing .a cleverly disguised fable. You only annoy a man wilsen you tell him something that would not fool a six-year- 0 \ So far from re-equipping the railroads, no attempt what- ever has been made to provide for depreciation. At the pre- sent prices of material and labor it will cost five hundred mil- lion dollars to put the roads into the same condition that they were in when the government took them over. And they were running at a profit before that. Where do propogandists buy the chemicals to make them talk like this? 1Is it crude -aleohol -or ticture of opium? As prlvate receipts for making plfi'hcatmg beverages will be at a premium after the first of July, it is unthrifty to make a secret of the formula. —————— The farmer has to be in lively step from dawn to dark to keep even with the usual insect pests. Then what will he do this year when the seventeen year locusts are added to all the others? B it Ask a returning doughboy the best word in the English language. A thousand fo one he will say “home.” —_0— The craft of woman’s suffrage is again on the political sea. We trust it is not a destroyer If they mention it at all in Boston they undoubtedly term it the ¢hemise dance. * —— e If the luxury tax is s0 soon done for, what in the world was, it begun for? —————— Ireland evinces a strong determination to secure self-de- termination. _— a woman you hate, is the situation Wwhich confronts Dorothy Gish in one 'of the dramatic moménts of “‘Boots,” her newest Paramount picture, which will be shown at the Elko tonight and Tuesday. Usually it is the other way. The man finds his sweetheart apparently false to him, and in his blind anger refuses to trust her. This time “Boots,’ ’in her own tearful re- sentment, refuses to trust the man who she believes, has been false to her. “So,” says Dorothy' Gish, “it makes little difference which side of the fence' the clover is on, the other side looks dffferent anyway.” She’s the same funny Dorothy Gish who played in ‘“Hearts of the World,” “Battling Jane,” and “The Hope Chest.” A two part “Big V” comedy is on the same program. NEWS OF THE THEATERS “PETTIGREWS GIRL.” Ethel Clayton is-to appear at the Elko theatre Wednesday and Thurs- day in “Pettigrew’s Girl,”” her latest Paramount picture, and we venture to say, her best. It's from a story by that popular young author, Dana Burnet, which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. WOULDN'T IT JAR YOU?

How. narrow it was. down here, and bow like canyons, with,the -great dull gray -walls towering: go: elosely te-: gether: on: each side of her. ‘She won- pdered how -on.earth Truesdale could spend half his life in such a: place. Yet in a way he was like it, deter. mined and silent. Even before her father died, when she.was only twelys, she remembered him as & young mas, who rarely smiled. Her- aunt had. ak ways said he was so reliable and steady—qualities which ‘had never rec- ommended -him ' to ‘Barbara’s - favor. She went up in the elevator now with 2 feeling of relief that she was twenty- one and hls‘ guardianship was ended at last. Allan was alone in his inner office waiting for her, the clerk said. She glunced around it curiously as she. sank down in the leather armchair he drew forwgrd. It was tall and narrow and soutBer like the street outside. Only a flat-topped desk seemed to show any human interest. In a copper urn was a bunch of -arbutus, and a ittle squat sflver figure of-a Chinese mandarin perpetually made oheisance on an inkstand. “I've been planning to do so many things that I never rfared even to men- tion before,” she told him happily. “1 want to go somewhere and build my- self a wonderful mountain bungalow and have horses and a sort of play ranch. And then 1 want to give Aunt Cec!la a solid annulty-so she won't feel As if her whole life was to be spent keeping one eye’ on me. And I'd like to Just- scll out the .whole business so 1 won’t .have to look after anyihing at all, and T thought-I'd love to-found an orphanage or something" ke -that.” Allan lstened attentively, but' with | _ no smile an his close lps. He was marking star shapes on:his blotter and watching the clock-above her head now and then. It was nearly four. -He won- dered it he would ‘have time to tel her before Yates arrived. “When Mr. Curtis died his affairs were in.a very tangled-state,” he sald. “He always suspected lawyers and his death -came so.suddenly there was no chance for him to attend to enything or ‘to explain -anything.” “What was there to-explain?”’ asked Barbara. with a touch of her fathey's quick pride. “Much,” angwered Allan tersely. “He had heen persuaded to-tle up his money in a lot of unsafe speculation, and had borrowed heavily to cover his own outstanding liabilitles. These ob- ligations to banks and friends had to be pald ont-of the-estate. A few of us who had been:close to him clrrlol ours uncler: interest.” * “Di father even owe you money?’ “Seoime. him.” He turped his attention to a mass of papers at his efbow; sorting and arranging them for her perusal, while Barbare avas-sndesgeing esmental re- adjustment. It had-mever occurred to | her that- Tom-Gurtis,Wen father, could possibly be under obligations to any one. He had seemed-to rule that end of the state peltticaily, and there had ‘been his: ratiroad, and—ch, it was ab- surd to talk 8o ablnokedltm' aggressively. “I don't see how it cquld be true.” | “You will find everything here,” . ho told_her a bit wearily. “There is noth- || ifig for you to.worry. over, -Barbase.

He went on talking.to her in the H &ame impersonal, aloof: way he had always used ever since he had found Jer on the veranda with Paulton. And 4t had been so perfectly silly to irmag- ine she cared for him seriously. He always took things'for granted.

Fvéry normal ‘mdividual is an jin- heritor of success; it is his birthright. When one falls to grasp his full por- tion he Is golng centrary to nature’s laws, just as sure-as does the man who ruins his prospects by liquor or opium or wovil aszsociates. Nearly every ha- man, being Is born into the worid a g sueress, and he:continues to be a suc- cess until he, knowingly or unknow- 1ngly. opposes the general laws of the woild. Such evasions as “lack of time,” *“no money,” “no oppertunity,” are shameful, they are unnatural, they are untrue. and they increase the popu lation in the community of failures.— Exchange.
