To-dav Idaho Sprlugs will dedicate
a monument to the man who first
found gold in the Rocky mountains.
George Jackson ts dead and beyond
ths reach of the honor paid his mem
ory. He died several years ago In an
obscure corner of the State where he
was making a fresh try at fortune,
trying again in old age to find for
himself enough gold to remove him
from ths necessity to keep up the
search. Independent and self-reliant
to the end as he had been when nrty
years ago he was living on the natur
al food of the country and making his
home under the stars, be who baa
uolnted the way for many men to be
come millionaires through mining
gold. lived and died with empty pock-
eta.
The day George Jackson found the
first gold In the land out of which a
great State was to be reared because
of his find, he was most Interested In
the fact that he had found some dig
gings where he tGeorge Jackson) was
going to make a fortune If he could
and that he had killed a mountain
sheep which would help out his di
minishing supply of ' States" grub un
til be could get back to where he
could get more of the same. His chief
concern right then was the fact that
his dogs, "Drum" and "Kit," bad been
worsted In a fight with a carcajou and
were too lame to travel. There wasn't
much In all that to suggest thoughts
of empire building or greatness. Time
haa taken care ot that and brought
It Into perspective. On his part It
was a simple set in the day's work;
In the light of fifty years we are
ready to pay with our regard the debt
of obligation under which he placed
a State which set up business In his
footsteps.
Time Is jealous of Its large tasks.
It picks and tests the men it permits
to perform them. Most often It con
sldcrs the privilege of doing them
sufficient reward. Jackson wss per
mitted to find the gold; others were
forced to be content with merely min
ing it The others grew rich; Jack
son bad been marked for a blaser of
trails, a searcher. So he died poor In
the midst of the rich field be had
sown; died as be had lived a poor
prospector doing the work Time had
picked him to do. He left to the fu
ture only a memory, but that will live
on long after those who were plivl
hired only to harvest In his field will
have been forgotten. It Is a way Time
has of evening up the score. Denver

There Is no more pernicious sophis
try than this widely prevalent theory
about "easy money," for It strikes
human nature at Its weakest point,
says a writer on the Kansas City
Journal. People who could not he
tempted to commit a crime will jump
at the chance to get something for
nothing, and many who might not be
too scrupulous but would shrink from
a heinous offense are no proof against
the seductlona of "easy money." The
psychology of this weakness msy or
may not go back to tbe garden of
Eden and the primal cars of toll.
Certain It Is that there Is an Inherent
revolt in human nature against the
drudgery of earning bread In tbe
swest of one's brow. Normally con
structed people combat this rebellious
spirit through tha human affections
which ennoble toll and consecrate the
hardest tasks to the comfort of loved
ocas. Bat there are few people who
work very hard for tha sheer love of
working hard.
"Easy money" Is tha dearest and
hardest la the world; It Is gained at
a fearful prfca, whether U Is tha booty
of tha highwayman er tha unearned
aad M-fottea gains of tha dishonest
maa of business. Tha hamaa law may

Ha pays a tax for the privilege of
shooting game.
He pays a tax on every servant
He pays a tax when he dies or his
estate does and leaves property.
"Americans have little Idea of the
various taxes that are Imposed In
England." says a writer on the sub
ject "If you are a renter and pay,
say $300 a year rent, you would be
obliged to pay not less than $90 addi
tional, which would cover the light
ing, paving and police protection. But
richer people are caught In all sorts
of ways. For Instance, In England I
would pay $5 a year for the privilege
of wearing this ring. It carries a
crest and If I had a carriage with
armorial bearings upon It I would be
obliged to pay $10 a year for that
privilege. When a man dies his estate
must pay a tax of 1 per cent on every
thing, if his estate Is below $2,500
In value: 2 per cent on $5,000, 3 per
cent on $50,000. 4 per cent on $125.-
000, 44 per cent on $200,000, 5 per
cent on $225,000, 5 i per cent on $500,
000. 6 per cent on $750,000, 7 per cent
on $1,250,000, 8 per cent on $2,500,000.
9 per cent on $3,750,000, and 10 per
cent on $5,000,000.

The Wright airship haa no wheels, but a set of wooden runners like a
sleigh. These travel upon a rail, and the Initial Impetus is given to the
machine by the release of a weight which runs over a pulley In a wooden
tower. The descent of the weight makes the airship fly off In a direction
away from the tower. Tbe Impetus causes It to rise a little, and afterward
tbe screws and planes keep It afloat
penitentiary doors msy not swing shut
on either. But the price must be paid
all tbe same paid In tbe coin of the
soul. In peace of mind and loss of self

which our human nature, even while
It yields to evil, yearns for the eternal
good and stretches Its hsnds upward,
no matter how low It may have fallen.
