It you ctush a raw egg in the 1oe of your rubber. don't say a word it's the first of April and everything goes. This is the day when fat purses grow on atrings and float away from the man with the boarding-house reach. Furses also have # fashion of cementing themselves to the tdewalk 8o firmly on this April day that Sandow and all bis imitators could not dis- engage them 1t you are not fond of electrical treatment « careful when you go to the water cooler The metal chain which holds the cup may have connected ftself up with a live ire that will glve you a sensation akin to that of Midas when his lips turned water to kold Look Out for Salt, The wan who gets sugar in his coffeo today must either live in a childiess house or one where the salt supply is under lock and key. And the fellow*who doesn’t have “ frightful big-head sensation when he pulls ton reams of paper from under his hatband is being neglected and should Eustle around and find a youngster who will put him in touch with the day When you go on the strect be a good fellow. It you see un innocent looking package on the walk, kick at it with all vour umight. Forget all aboul your corns, take a running start and kick as though Harvard and Yale had tied and the game spended on the gonl you are about to land between the crimson poles. The chances are that there are only ten brick- bats in the package. The fngrown nail on your blg toe may not take kindly to the fmpact, but a good punt will 1 tear with the thirteen red who are rubbering around th corner. Tonight when you crawl into a bed filled with rice and pinpolnts don’t say anything cery store that is out of harmony with the Lenten | season. Just shut your eyes and think prayerfully of ihe millions of people who have gone against the April fool game since the time of Adam. Roll aver on all the pins three times by way of doing penance for all the April fool stunts you ever promoted and drop a tear of sympathy | for the people who found uo love tokens in thelr beds.

Gireat care should he exercised in an- swerlng telephones ou April Fool's day. When a young woman calls you up to test the 'phone and asks you to speak in a whisper at a distance of four feet from the lefthand corner of the recelver, be obedieni. ov . you. may disappoint some- body. And when she asks you to stand on your head aud say love you" in a faisetto voice you must do it. The tele- phone company may have to go out of bus ness If the wires aren’t properly tested. In case anything ruffles your temper so badly that profanity must he used on some- bedy, turn your effusions loose on the man that inveuted April Fool's day. It is not likely that you will cause any near relativ to turn over In his grave, for April Fool': day has been celebrated since the days of |y ancient Rome. The origin of All Fools' day is not known. Caesar probably found ceckle burrs in his sandals many a time on the 1st of April. ow the Hindoos Do. The teast of Hull, celebrated by the Hindoos, terminates on All Fools' day and is observed In much the same fashion as the American April Fools' day. Today the Brahmin priests come out of (heir shells and Join In a general merrymaking. Persons are sent with messages (o people who are sure to be away from home and many other impostures are indulged in In Eungland April foollng has been com- mon since the time of Sir Richard Steele €1671-1729). The Spectator is full of refer- ences to tricks played on All Fools' day. In France thé day was universally ob- served at an earlier date than in Eugland. A man who Is the butt of a joke in England 1s a gawk. In France the victim of a joke is called an April fish, but in the United States he {6 a plain sucker. One of the commonest April fool jokes in England is to send a letter by a dupe, who {s instructed to wait for an answer. The answer is a second wote to a third person, saying “It {s the 1st of April. another mile."” The dupe Is kept going until he tires of the endless chaln or is told of the joke. Dean Swilt, the famous author of liver's Travel fool hoax that was ever cireulated In Eng- land. He circulated the report that a man who had been hanged on March 31 was re- suscitated the next day by a friend. The story gained wide circulation and created much excitement bafore the public realized that it had been duped Have You Been I If very siek, you had a doctor. That’s right. We be- lieve in doctors.

Nearly everyone concedes the election of Bennett as tax commissioner and therefore the at- tention of voters |s centered on the other candidates. Mr. Bennett is generally con sidered the right mam for the place and it is figured that he will poll the highest vote of any candidate on the ticket i Those who bave been watching the situ atlon closely assert that there is no doubt but the entire republican school board tic ket will be elected. Mead, Gibson nnd Rich are all well and favorably known and their election will mean that the manage- ment of school district affairs will be in the hauds of reptblicans and business men of stauding. As the women will be per- mitted to vote without reglstering it is ex- pected fhis class of vote will be large. The | blicans will have plenty of cartiages | and an efflort will be made to get out a heavy vote, especially for school directors Republican yallles will be tonight in Kells' hall, Twenty-fourth and N streets Koutsky's ball, Twentieth and Q Wayne bullding, Twenty-sixth streets; Evans' hall, Twenty-eighth streets, and at Rex hall, Thirty-third and L streets.

Editor Dennett of the South Omaha Dally Sun has (his to say of W. A. Bennett, re- publican candidate for tax commissioner ‘“There are no republican bolters on Ben- | ¢ nott’s nomination. While there are repub- licans who do not like the idea of the party going into a packing house to pick out an assessor, they know that Mr. Ben- nett i too honest and too {ndepende to permit his work as assessor to be in- | fluenced by the corporations, Benmett ix under no obligations to the packers. He does his work and earns his salary, just | as any other man, and besides he has | wealth enough to render him entirely in- different to the wishes of his employers in | matters pertaining to the public welfare. His taxes are heavy enough to show him that the corporations are now getting’ ofl | entirely too lightly, and knowing this Ben- | nett is just the kind of a man to go ahead | and fix the assessment properly and with | Justice in view, for' in public life he has always tried to do what was right, regard- less of criticism. No Council Meeting, While the city council fs billed for a meeting tonight it was reported o1 the streets yesterday that a few members would meet and adjourn until Wednesday evening. As tonight s the last of the loeal eam- paign the councilmen naturaily want to at- tend some of the numerous rallies. Should the councll meet Wednesday evening it is thought an ordinance will be introduced re- districting the city fnto six wards. When this is passed it will then devolve upon Mayor Kelly 1o appoint two members of the council. From the time the city is redis- tricted the representation in the council will be six instead of eight, as at present In speaking of making these appointments Mayor Kelly said a day or two ago that he nad not considered the matter seriously and rather dreaded the time when he would be called upon to do so. Work fa In defining the duties of the tax com- missioner the charter provides that the commissioner shall devote all of hie time to the city and that his duties, as well as salary, are to be regulated by ordinance As it will take only about four months in the year for the commissioner to do his work it has been suggested by some mem- bers of the council that the commissioner | Put in his time assisting in the city treas- | urer's office. In this connection a mem- ber of the city government said yesterday be would consider it a good move {0 have | the tax commissioner devote at least a share of his time to the collection of per- sonal taxes. If this is done the receipts of the office can be greatly Increased and without any particular expense to the city. ow Man, Politiciaps have it figured out that Fitz gerald, democratic candidate for tax com- missioner, will be low man in the three- cornered fight tomorrow. It is asserted that members of the labor unions will sun- port Bhlelds and that this will aayuui largely from the vote of Fitzgerald, Many | of the labori men are displeased st the action of Fitzgerald in remonstrating against the placing of Shields' name on the ticket, and for this reason they will vote for Shields with a view to making Fitzgerald the low man on the ticket.

BOND PURCHASE POSSIBLE Reoretary Gage Interviewed on Growing Act cumulation of Oash, PRICE MUST BE REASONABLE, HOWEVER winn 1 Exorbitn ands, WASHINGTON, March 31.--Secretary Guge was questioned today as to his prob- action with respect to the caxh accu mulations in the treasury, and particulariy as to whether he contemplated buying bonds for the sinking fund “The country would like to know, it was stated to the secretary, “whether the accumulation of money in the treasur. which seeme to be going on will not operat to the prejudice of general business affairs. Your estimate is that there will be a sur expenditures for the fiscal year ending Juno 30 next of about $80,000,000, Your statement published yes- terday shows that some $40,000,000 of that sum lready has been realized. This would Indfcate that within the nest three months $40,000,000 more of cash will be Rathered into the treasury from the general momey market The Secretary-The estimutes you spea of were made before the last session of congress and have been modified by events and by congressional actlon. [t is not now contemplated that the year's surplus will be over $60,000,000, A falling oft ceipts or larger disbu; ments than have been estimated for may also further modify the effect to which you point Question—Well, Mr. Secretary, cven then It seems that the cash holding of the t sury will be increased by some $20,000,- 000 between now and June 30, Are you willing to state whether you would or could do unything to relieve general affairs should they be adversely affected by the tieup of money in the treasury? Two ¥ ible Me The Secretary—There are only two meth- ods open to get surplus funds out of the treasury vaults. One 18 to in case treas- ury deposits in the national bank Ae- positories; the other i to buy United States bonds. The latter is more con- sistent with government interests than the fornier, since in buying bonds interest on public. debi is by so much stopped. The department, however, would not feel justified in buying bonds other thau thoso which will mature and become subjeci to payment within (he next seven years. At | a proper price it would no doubt be will these and thus relleve the a surplus which, as you under some conditions, be prefudicial to general business affaivs, At the present quoted rates for the short bonds, I do not think the secretary would be justified iu buying bonds. The 5s at the price yield an investment return of only 1.03 per cent; the short 4s, 1.61 per cent; the 3 per cents of 1908, 1.34 per cont, while the new 2 per cents, at their present price, yleld a higher investment return, 1.73 per cent. Now it is well known and an acknowledged fact that a long-time government bond, everything else being equal, is worth relatively more than a short-time bond. The present disparity to the contrary, nevertheless, is illogical it not artificial, and at their present price the secretary will not buy them. ‘Not to Inciense Bank Deposit. Question—As an alternative would you not increase the deposit of public moneys with the banks? The Secretary—No, that would aggravate, in some particulars, the situation to which 1 have just referred. To qualify as deposi- tories the banks would have to buy and de- The effect would he to set up a competition, by the aid of the government, against the government in the purchase of itles already abnormally high. We are now advancing toward the period of the year when there is apt to be a money ple- thora Instead of a money scarcity, so I do not see that it will do any particular harm it money accumulates in the treasury. The reduction in taxation will, when it becomes operative, partially or wholly cure the pres- ent tendency toward a congestion in the treasury. To put the matter in a nutshell: If it be a choice between buying bonds at an artificial price and letting funds accumu- late in the treasury, the latter will occur, nor will the department advertise for offer- ings of bonds. To do so, | am satisfied, would be fruitless in results. If, however, the department can from time to time buy the short bonds at an investment rate real- {zable to the investor who buys the ne per cents, it will not hestitate to do so, should the present market price for the new 25 remain about ou the prescat basis.
