Ye Smudge Pot
. - By Arthur Parry.
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

Still, if men are to be victims of mobs becuu.se they know too much
