tJlassRows Tax Reducing- Scheme
As a means of reducing the taxes
for the maintenance of the police de
partment of Glasgow it has been pro
posed that 50 per cent of the extra
rent charged by landlords of public
houses above the sums which such
houses minus the licenses would let
for shall be paid into the municipal
treasury There are many public
houses in Glasgow the rents of which
are enormously out of proportion to
the accommodations afforded and it is
argued that the landlords ought to be
made to share their excessive profits
with the city
The value of a mans advice de
pends upon the success he has achiev
ed in following it

Discusses every fad

If it be good or bad
Ho speaks with graceful accent
On Should Our Hair Be Dyed
Or tells his congregation
The Proper AVay to Ride
lie wails The Curse of Checkers
Or Why We Leave the Farm
But none has used this topic
Turn In a Fire Alarm
He talks on Wuiern Writers
Or Can Our Votes Be Bought
And sometimes hes just lovely
On Tnoughtlessnes s of Thought
Some day an innovation
Will suddenly be sprung
Some conscientious preacher
Will turn his silver tongue
To words of hope and heaven
And grace his voice will fill
And well get more religion
And less of vaudeville

When the wind swept the boat
across the waters tossing it to and
fro in a mocking and mad glee Carter
Starr had only the one thought to
save his companion and himself The
boatride was a mad escapade on the
part of both a daring defiance of the
old quarrel between her uncle and
adopted father Belden Storms and his
own family But when the fates threw
them together for a fortnights sojourn
at the sidesido hotel the two saw a
humor in the situation that drove them
into follies and pranks undreamed of
before
He knew that she was pretty and
an heiress He knew that his own
fortunes depended upon the caprice of
his grandfather She admired him
with a womans admiration because
he was forbidden to her by every tra
dition of the Storms family
Introduced by accident and among
strangers the two laughed into each
others eyes and defied fortune and
tradition They met afterwards by
those strange accidents that seem ar
ranged for such cases in the early
morning dip in the sea in the nooks
of the long porticos at night during
the pauses of the dance and on an
island party over the bay In the dance
itself because it was safe enough Birc
this afternoon had been utterly with
out precedent He had strolled away
in his flannels for a smoke and to read
while the hotel people napped after
luncheon And in the shade of a
great rock he had chanced upon Eloise
Storms awake alert saucy and mag
netic An hour later they went out for
a sail over to Idle Rock That was
the story only they had not counted
on what might happen
What did happen made them help
less their boat disabled in a few mo
ments at the mercy of a wild sea
Then was the dreadful darkness of tho
tossing waters and a blinding rain
Eloises red parasol went to and fro
toward the shore like a gay buoy at
the first gust And after it went her
pique cap and his own soft felt mere
links in a chain of evidence in after
hours
It was hard to say which was the
paler face in the first realizations of
the moment But Eloise recovered
herself with the courage of her race
We shall be carried out to sea
He looked at her with trembling lips
We shall be carried to sea
I should have known better than
to have brought you
She smiled bitterly
And I should not have come We
are even Can we get through the
storm
He looked out to the Infinite om
nipotent sea His reckless moods fell
from him The wind blew the girls
brown hair about her shoulders He
could not see her face He tried to
keep a control of the rudder for a long
time but gave it up as useless Out
out into the darkness and tossing wa
ters they went with the receding tide
Finally he crept along close to her and
took her hands
You have been very brave I think
vt
Si

He
I will tell you that the boat may break
up later It is an old one and leak
ing horribly Here is a rope I will
tie it about you and myself as well
as I can and to the mast and deck
piece Eelieve me I will do all I can
to save you
She put her hands on his shoulders
and looked into his eyes
Forgive me
For what
They were both stern and choleric
Folly I knew better than to dare
Fate so
So did I You must forgive me
A man should be wise
And a woman discreet What
would my uncle and aunt say now
He was knotting the rope about her
We may never know Now we
cannot be separated If one drowns
the other will It is just is it not
And it makes chances
I would not have it any other way
Who wants to go into the Unknown
alone
He rose up suddenly
Eloise the worst is coming Give
me your hand no hold to me See
She looked seaward and saw that
which made her shriek and cling to
him
Two hours later they lay somewhere
on the sand still in n toi i i i
and the storm raging about them
l nat tney were alive seemed a miracle
When consciousness returned to him
the sea was washing their bodies
He had dragged her higher onto the
sand and discovered
that she was not
dead Now her head was pillowed on
his shoulder and her face hidden on
his breast
Where are we
I do not know We must wait for
light It may be an island it may be
the shore
She laughed bitterly
It does not make much differpnpp
I shall never go back
Why O I know I know
You do not know the Storms I
am forever disgraced in their eyes I
would rather be dead I shall never
go back Get me away somewhere and
let me disappear I will work any
thing anything rather than face my
uncle
Her voice was scornful and dreary
enough He smoothed her wind
roughened hair
Do not think that I do not know
I cannot see that my own case is very
different I too have offended against
the unwritten laws I also must bear
my punishment
Which will be
My grandfather never forgiven
I know that well
After a long silence during which
the wind seemed somewhat less ter
rible he said in a low tone
But I will make it up to you
How can you
I can at least save you from the
worst
The worst she shuddered
I can make you my wife
You And I was to make such
a great marriage
So was I Perhaps this is one We
can call it so
She wrung her hands I cannot go
back alone I cannot But nothing
could be worse than the return I see
no other way Can you brave it
He smoothed her hair from her fore
head
We know tho world and we see tho
situation AVo were saved together
and are known to have been out on
the sea by this time I will take you
back as my wife That vill be tho
only thing now as I see
But marriage marriage is a sol
emn a sacred tie
So it is We will try to do our
duty I think death has purified our
souls tonight So be comforted and
we will see what the light brings us
It may solve the problem of what to
do next
In the faint gray dawn he awoke
from a troubled sleep They were on
a long sandy beech Clear across the
bay were the buildings of the great
hotel Beyond and above them was a
small village and the cross of a tiny
stone church showed over the trees
The way is found he said calmly
come we will go yonder
The news of their rescue went by
telephone to the great hotel and tho
whole house excited by their disap
pearance and survival waited on the
piazzas and at the wharf for their re
turn on the coast steamer
The people at the village had given
I em some clothing but they presented
strange appearance as they stepped
on shore At the gang plank stood
a white haired old man and a red
faced middle aged man They were
both stern and choleric their great
relief finding vent in hot anger The
culprits came together Carter Starr
held his head high and his lips were
as set as his grandfathers own Eloise
was wan and clung to his arm There
was a loud huzzahing of the passen
gers and a dash forward to shake
hands
Wait he cried and Ill give you
something to halloo for Miss Storms
and myself have been very near Death
and have come back as we were saved
together We were married this morn
ing at St Stephens across the bay
The old mans eyes at once met those
of the red faced mans in a look of
intense relief He caught his grand
sons arm
And you did right you scamp hej
roared out You are always a gentle
man
And Eloise felt her uncles wet cheek
against her own
The proper thing he sobbed th
proper thing and under the circum
stances the only thing
FIND WATER IN THE DESERT
Ilt ntiful Flow Is Struck in Mjiie
Desert by Prospectors
The Mojave desert located in the
southeastern portion of the state has
long been regarded as dangerous to
life and valueless for any purpose
says the San Francisco Argonaut
True it was known that the arid land
could be rendered - fruitful by means
of irrigation but there was no water
there and none could be obtained
without a heavy expenditure The
only plan proposed that promised re
lief was the construction of immense
reservoirs in the mountains to retain
the storm water for a long distance
during the summer This meant a
heavy initial outlay and neither the
state government nor the federal gov
ernment has as yet expressed a will
ingness to incur it Life on the desert
when not positively dangerous is
crowded with hardships but hardships
have no deterrent effect upon the
searchers for gold and lately the waste
places of the desert have been invaded
by an army of prospectors for oil The
theory upon which they proceeded was
that the Kern river oil belt extends
through the Mojave desert Whether
or not there is any virtue in this
theory the facts so far developed have
not justified it No oil has been found
but water in considerable quantities
has been struck and at the present
time this is more valuable than the
oil would have been Artesian water
if a sufficient quantity can be found
is much better than the retained and
ditched storm water would have been
since there is less expense for hand
ling and less loss from evaporation
Three wells have been developed al
ready The third struck the water at
a depth of 1S5 feet which is much
more shallow than would be required
for an oil well All of them are said
to be gushers and the latest flows
215 miners inches If the water belt
should prove to be permanent and ex
tensive a rush to this region and
something very like a land boom may
be looked for
The Kaisers Churrli IIuildinj Fad
The kaiser of Germany has many
hobbies the kaiserin only one the
building of churches says the New
York Times As- however she is con
stantly indulging her taste for ec
clesiastical construction the matter is
financially at least of some importance
to those who pay for her piety There
is therefore a certain good natured
dissatisfaction with her extravagance
is this line Taxpayers comfort them
selves with the thought that she might
spend their money in less praise
worthy objects The feeling on the
subject was recently given expression
to in a comical manner at the unveil
ing of one of the groups of the statutes
with which the emperor has decorated
the alley in the Thiergarten in Berlin
known as the Siegerallee At the
close of the ceremony came the na
tional hymn Heil Dir im Sieger
kranz whereat every one of course
uncovered Among the number was
a totally bald man seeing whom one
of the street urchins present called
out Hey theres another vacant
spot for the kaiserin to build a church
