It may add to the appearance from he artist’s pint of view, —but i>’- absolutely silent, as to what the pill may do. When the devil takes a notion to annex a feller’s goat, he covers up his nostrum with a fancy sugar coat. And, I’ve seen* a whole community suf fused with bloody sweat, from a sugar - coated, hcil - promoted, beastly-bonded debt! Sometimes a therm’ dema gogue will land an office-plumb, in a deestrick where intelligence is sadly on the bum,—where the skim of sugar-coatin' does away with taste an’ smell—while the henchmen line the idiots in the anthem “All is Well!” To hand a man yer credit— with a promissory note, is to pwaller gall an’ wormwood un derneath a sugar coat.

It is suggested that income tax payers be allowed to deduct from taxable income what they have to pay doctors. If a man makes his income by using machinery he is allowed to deduct from income whatever he has to spend to keep the ma chinery in order. The machinery used by a law yer, merchant or mechanic is hi3 own body and brain. If he has to spend money to keep that ma chinery in order and fit to earn revenue, OF COURSE he should be allowed to charge that to “re pairs” and deduct it from income tax. And also he should be al lowed to deduct for each year of wear and tear a fair charge for DEPLETION. A coal mine owner charges off “depletion,” because his mine is worth less each year. What about the man whose mine is his brain? That also is worth less each year. Fashion can do what other things can’t do. For instance, the fashion in short skirts has made fashionable restaurants and night dancing resorts in London, cut down the height of tables and chaiis. It is impossible for women with skirts up to their knees to sit gracefully, not to say modestly, at the regulation high table. So the table legs are cut off. Last year this country paid out three billion dollars for automo biles. That’s a large sum, but no money was better sj>ent. To economize on automobiles would mean to economize on fresh air, health, happiness, and it wouM mean waste of time more than offsetting IRe saving in money. Europe, poorer and less efficient than the United States, suffers for lack of cars. Some of the millions we spent for trucks, to be used carrying freight. That was educational. Enough trucks competing with railroads and cutting railroad freight prices will make some of the old-fash ioned railroad men think. Mere ly relying on the Interstate Com merce Commission to raise your rates, when you need more money, is not scientific railroading. “Tom” Lawson, author of “Fren zied Finance” and an active figure in much frenzied finance of his own, was buried last week close to the magnificent estate that he once owned. Wall Street gave it to him. And Wall Street took it away from him. When he was sixteen he made |40,000 in Wall Street. In twenty years of Wall Street life he made forty millions of dollars, and Wall Street took it all back. The old crouper at Monte Car lo’s gambling house said to this writer long ago: “We don’t have to worry about profits. While they have money, the strangers stay and gamble or spend it in our hotels. When they haven’t any more money, they go. The money stays with us.” So with Wall Street, if you gamble. Mrs. Tennal, lady editor of the Sabetha Herald, in Kansas, tells Kansas editors at Topeka that every woman needs three hus bands — one for society, one to make money, one to look after ;he housekeeping. “Present-day husbands are satisfactory, as far as they go,” she says, but they do not go far enough. The learned Mrs. Tennal knows that polyandry, meaning several husbands, was once the rule among many nations. It still pre vails among certain semi-barbar ous peoples. And the husbands manage to get along fairly well. Polyandry, however, will not solve the problem. The husband must multiply his accomplish ments, while increasing his ten dency to fidelity. The American husband makes money, but does not know how to pay compliments. Many European men pay mar velous compliments, but can’t make money. The combination, or “three-m one,” husband v ill appear in tho course of evolution. ling Wins National Trophy by Voting The ;hate of Wyoming" soorsd thj vote?- a\ the national election last fi * Collier's, The National Weekly, recoilin'? the award as ft was a bov scout. percao won Us troony jra CwrsjrmofJ y h«r>J0f, B Scared! *1 0/ 'tries, engineer in the Interior Department, who has worked in Alaska for 16 years, was '’•eared stiflT’ when appointed Gov ernor of Alaska by Pres.

At the point of a gun toe Wreck takes five gallons from a passing car. , ,, ..... „ Later they are held captive at a ranch along the way because Charlie McSween. the foreman, wants Sally tor a cook. They discover that Mr. Underwood, the owner of the ranch, was In the car which they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells, who is SallyT« fiance, comes to the ranch to take chcrge of the case. Sally cooks the evonlag meal and Timothy, the Underwood chauffeur, acts as the waiter. "Other parties besides us have been getting held up, is 1he Information Timothy brings back to In the kitchen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY * Gth*r parties?” said Sally. "Yes. ma'am. The sheriff has been tdiing the boss about it. There /ere two other automobiles stuck up -imewhers around here within the ikist couple of weeks. As near as I .•an make out from what the sheriff • ells the ix)as. it’s a new sort of game.

Then they ran the In dians out, or civilized ’em. and things went along all right until they had ro>ul agents holding up stages. Well, they get the best of the road agents ifter several parties had got kilfed, nnd tha business sort of died out. “And then—the sheriff has been soing right Into the history of all of ,r—there was a new bunch got to working on the trains. I can re member reading about them in the oap-rs myself. I'hey used to go through the trains and take every thing that everybody had. and any body that didn’t give up got shot.

At tho farther end was the other door, that opened Into the dining room. It waa a swinging door* with a h&M-inch space between the edge of It and the frame. She tiptoed forward, brought her ear close to the crack and stood there breathing softly. Underwood waa talking, but not about bandlte. He was talking about Sally’s apple pie. "I'm going to take her back to New York with me and Are my French cook," he announced. "I don’t know wljat sort of a Job her husband can fill, but I’ll And some thing for him." Sally raised her eyebrows, for this was news. And then she heard the familiar, hoisterous voice of Bob Wells. "I don’t blame you," said the sheriff. The lady can certainly cook. You don’t get a cook once In a life time. When you get ’em the thing to do Is to rope ’em and brand ’em, and then don’t let ’em outside the corral. Cooking Is a woman's nat ural Job. but they don't all get to be experts. But now and then, if you keep your eyes open, you can And one.

CHAPTER XIV •‘The 8on of a Gunl" THE Wreck, who had been keep ing vigil from a window of the bunk house, saw the tall figure of the sheriff striding down to the corral Just as dusk waa settling Next he saw the black horse and Its rider headed along the trail that led to the main road. He could hear the sheriff whistling, there was a com placent sound about it that made him scowl. He waited until the man of the law passed from sight among the distant- spruce, then set off at a rapid pace for the ranch bouse.
