Our legislature has confessed it wilt ba unable to cut the taxes in twain, as so glibly assured all last summer and fall, which Is alarming to the trustful souls, who were lured with their rotes, by thoughts of a deep and listing incision, through the lumbar regions of the entire Tax family. The doceit of politicians is dulled some what by the allegation "the remainder of the session will be devoted to get ting around to a better system of equalization and distribution of the burden. The tax reform goes to the fundamentals." "The tax reform goes to the fundamentals" is right, and Don Voyage! IT IS ItF.FKKSHING to hear from New Hampshire. If the legis lators of that state have their way every resident will have to sleep eight hours out of the twenty-fuur, and no woman may marry her urandson. If New Hampshire can put over these desirable reforms there would seem no limit to what the Uplift may accomplish. For sleep means n lot to the native of New Hampshire. When the gentle snowdrifts lock the front door and seal the second story win dows, sleep is n priceless heritage. For deciides winter has been in New Hampshire one lout; luxury of hibernation. IJut now at the stroke of six, the son of New Filmland must arise and build the fire or be linuled to the village burgomaster. Nor can lie return to the ancestral feathers. He must not only stay up but must stay awake. Nodding before the fire will be punished by a fine of, from a New Hampshire standpoint, considerable proportions. Of course in some states a man might go to bed at four in the morning and arise at noon thus complying with the statute. Hut not in New Hampshire. There no resident in good standing keeps his eyes open after ten. The thing simply isn't done. It never has been done. Such excesses are left to pleasure-loving Boston. So much for the men. Hut in New Hampshire the men are in a hopeless minority. Most of the able bodied males have long since mi grated. That is why the practice of grandmothers marrying their grandsons has recently spread to such alarming proportions. If a woman were to get any mate of the approved gender she had to grab him young. Grandsons are usually easiest to catch for they still have hand-painted cooky tins in New Hampshire, and the seduction of grandmothers cookies are proverbial. Hut now all this must stop. Mr. N. H. will have to abandon unin terrupted sleep and Mrs. N. II. will have to marry something with its eyes open. From this distance such a sweeping transformation in the domestic habits of this venerable commonwealth appears impossible. Kut it may be done. If it is done, then anything is possible. The uplift simply has no limit. Quill Points Failure consists in being satisfied with a small success. The meat on which a Caesar grows great is cannon fodder. They have taken away his auto foe a moat bill, and when he acquired the vehicle, tbey told him, "it will pay for- itself fa three months," but it never did. AN OLD TIMER TALKS '"' Outaldo of myself, a tougher bunch never tied a shoestring. Once In the Walla Walla country a tenderfoot, that was around there, reached for his hip pocket during an argument, and Lazarus Ryno the corner told me he counted seven uoIcb, clean through him.. ",- There were - four superficial wounds. In the thigh. The tender foot meant no harm. lie packed his hanky In his rear pocket, and wanted to. blow his nose. The boys mistook the. move. It did not pay to bo in discreet in them days. Ho cashed in through his own carelessness. Aftor that we went to Wlnnomucca for the Lazy . A ranch, but we were bofore wo got there. The orncrylcst member of the tribe was a fellor called Three Tooth. That's all he had. Ho run off three! cooks in two weeks, and thoy were; hard to get Finally tho boss went to Frisco, and came back with two chefs, and Into the cook wngon they 'go...Tho biggest one Just set on the steps and smoked cigarottos, all morning. They yelled for dinner, and in we come. Old Three Tooth in the lead. Ho took a look at tho beef, ami knocks down tho llttlo cook. Throe Tooth then squats, and kicks over the table. The big feller walks up and looks Throo Tooth In tho right eye, Bnd squashes him a lick In the mush. He flops him 17 times or more, and mauls' up Three Tooth awful. When he comes too about sundown, he wonts to burn up tbe thrashing machine, he thinks ho has been run through. At the next meal Three Tooth could get too, there was the second cook, pac ing up and down the aisle, botweeu the tables, toting a meat ax. Jabbing Three Tooth In the ribs with It, ho said, "flo ahead and kick over the table, my friend," and when tho invl- talion was declined, he called In the little cook, and said, "You knocked down this gcntlemnn yesterday, lot's see If you can do It again!" but Three Tooth had control of hlsself. " Well, wo had our three meals per day. and every meal this Frisco bully would prance up and down, with his meat ax, maintaining law und order, and he mnintalned It mostly on Three Tooth. When we would sol down to tho vltttcs. our gtiardlon would Bay: "Tho tablo h'alnt been kicked over, pry tlmo now for n week, and tilings a'lnt natural," and then ho would rtroll over to ThsVe Tooth and say "Hain't th bull nice and tender today Three Tooth?" ' And Three Tooth would answer In tho affirmative, and then ho would say, "Hid you ever tasto a better moal any time tlian the one your now at and Three Tooth would allow that it was. and then ho would lottor nmund waving the moat ax. and get comnlt nienlary opinions from tho rest of us, He worked all summer, and thorc were no outrages. Well, I'm down ground tho bay that winter, and I find out that this here second cook Is a prlr.e fighter who stayod Vi rounds with John U Sullivan and Is going to fight him again. Old Three Tooth shows up and la cnting a free lunch ill dump on Market street, and has got away with more than his' quota, when up walks the worthy wclliler of tho moat ax. Ho taps tho diner on the shoulder, and snys cold llko: ."Do you think this Is a boarding house. Yon can't make out a mcol here." And Three Tooth says: "Come on and have a drink, and let's bo friends. The law concedes that a man is innocent until proved dead broke. A psychologist is a Waiter who knows you will be ashamed to pick up the silver. S Geography note: The further London is from Paris, the nearer it is to I5erliu. Fable: Scveutccli girls applied for the job, and the boss chose the homeliest one. Still, if men are to be victims of mobs becuu.se they know too much most of us arc safe. . ' '' I Tongue Twisters (To be read aloud) By C. L. EDSON, Author of the Gentle Art of , Columning. Jack KUinunsuti and Happy Hoak will feature the main attraction at tho Klks smoker to be staged at Ash land Saturday night.

Vantine's Temple Incense Tho fragrant Oriental odors for indoor use. A large variety of burners and odors.

There will be universal peace when (hose unfit for military ser vice lire required to foot the entire bill. The world isn't growing 'better. It just seems that way because fewer famous men let their hair grow long. Whrn the meek inherit Hie earth, they will conic into possession of a lot of problems no meek man can bundle.
