In the United States circuit court,
Chicago, the first step has been taken
in a legal battle which will probably
have a long existence in the supreme
court of ihe United States. The case
was that of Shirley T. High, a daugh
ter of the late Gen. W. W. Tredway
of Madison, against Collector of Inter
nal Revenue Coyne and the matter at
issue is the inheritance tax imposed
under the war revenue act. The
plaintiff seeks to have this tax de
clared unconstitutional. No matter
whai the decision may be, the cause
will be taken into the supreme court
for contest. The legacy which is made
the issue of the legal battle is that of
Attorney James L. High, a former
l>ane county man, who died last fall.
The tax falls only on the person il
property, which is worth $200,000.
One dark, cloudy night last fall a
two days old baby was left at the home
of Mrs. St. John in Edgerton. Par
entage of the wee one was shrouded in
a mystery, but nevertheless the kind
hearted lady took it in and gave it
all the attention a mother could have
done. Under the care of the foster
mother it has thrived and gives prom
ise of some day being a queen among
its sex. Every week that the little
thing has been with Mrs. St. John she
has received a $5 note to partially rec
ompense her for the hours of care and
trouble which a young babe of neces
sity makes. But the little one has
gone to another home. One evening
not long ago a stranger called and took
it away, whence no one knows, but in
all probability it has passed to other
hands that will tenderly and kindly
care for it in the years that are to
come.

SILK MADE OF GELATINE.
• * /
Avery curious report comes to the
state department from Consul Frank
enthal at Berne, Switzerland, on the
manufacture of artificial silk from
gelatine. The consul says that his
information is from Professor Hum
mel, of Yorkshire college, Leeds, Eng
land, who is the inventor of the pro
cess and who has submitted specimens
of his product to Swiss silk manu
facturers.
The gelatine to be turned into silk
is heated at a certain temperature,
which keeps it continually in liquid
form. The reservoir containing tue
liquid has a cover with innumerable
small openings, through which the
gelatine oozes in very fine streams.
These tiny threads are discharged on
an endless strip of linen cloth running
over pulleys. When the strip has
traveled far enough to dry the gela
tine the threads are picked up auto
matically and wound upog spools.
The whole apparatus is said to re
quire very little attention, a single
workman overseeing enough machines
to produce 470,000 yards of thread per
day—equal to the production of 24,-
000 cocoons. To make the gelatine
threads proof against being dissolved
in warm water or any other solution
they are lightly wound on drums and
subjected to the fumes of formalde
hyde in a close room for several
hours. Coloring matter added in
very small proportions to the liquid
gelatine produced any shade of thread
desired. This artificial silk is said to
be extremely brilliant and very uni
form in thickness.
SEX RIVALRY IN POLITICS.
Three Women, One Against Her Hus
band, Making Opponents Hustle.
The liveliest election battle in the
history of Snydertown borough, near
Shamoken, Pa., will be fought ere
long for the position of school direc
tors. Three women are pitted against
an equal number of the sterner sex
and, although the females are on the
democratic ticket and the town is
largely of that political faith, the men
will doubtless Win over the buxom
candidates, as many democrats claim
that they will not vote for women, one
of whom is opposed to her husband.
Since the holidays the present direc
tors have not managed district affairs
to suit all the people. Recently anew
set of men were nominated at the re
publican primaries. They were George
Kline, Jacob Deibler and Luther
Cooper, all three good men and popu
lar, but certain people thought they
would be no better in office than the
old directors, and the scheme of run
ning women for the place was hatched
in the brains of a number of females
The women asked a few democratic
workers to aid them at the primaries
and a big vote was polled. Mrs
George Kline, Mrs. John Campbell and
Mrs. David Hoover were named, the
first named heading the ticket. When
her husband heard of the opposition

NOT WORTH HER CONSIDERATION
Chicago Girl Tells Why Her Sisters
Do Not Marry.
A Chicago girl was recently asked
why girls of the present day don’t
marry. “Well,” she replied laughing
ly, “to tell the truth I suppose it’s be
cause we don’t want to be poor in the
first place.ln the second place, we can
do much better for ourselves than any
man can do for us, and thirdly and
finally and most emphatically, I don't
think any man is worth a girl’s good
time.”
INVENTIONS PROVIDE WORK.
Cassier’s Magazine for January
gives some figures that show in a
striking manner how new' inventions
benefit wage earners by providing em
ployment in new lines of industry. In
1880 there were no electric street cars.
Less than 12,000 operated 2,050 miles
of street car lines then in existence.
There are now over 13,000 miles of
electric lines, employing 1 TO,OOO men.
In 1870 the census reported only 154
shorthand writers in the United States.
Owing to the invention of the type
writer, there are now about 35,000
stenographers and typewriters, of
whom 21.000 are women.
HE DIDN’T BUDGE.
One time a Quaker in a carriage met
a young man in a buggy driving in
a narrow lane, where they couldn’t
pass.
“I shan’t make way for you,” said
the young man.
“I am older than thou art,” replied
the Quaker, “and therefore have a
right to expect thee to give way so that
I can pass.”
“Well, I won’t,” resumed the young
fellow. Then he pulled out a news
paper and began to read, as he sat still
in his carriage.
The Quaker, observing him, pulled
a pipe and some tobacco from his
pocket, struck a light, and sat and
puffed away very comfortably.
“Friend,” said he, “wnen thou hast
read that paper I should be very glad
if thou wouldst lend it to me."
The young man gave up the contest.
