Three fourths of this tax, that everybody who uses sugar has to pay, goes Into the pockets of the sugar trust, and the other fourth goes to help run the government If lt was not for this enormous tax you could buy all the sugar you want for three cents uer pound. And the labor which ^jiakes the sugar would receive bet j^/r wages than is now paid by the tn.si. This ls one ol the reasons that make us insist on Democratic Congressmen voting on tba. side of the people add not on the side of the trusts. - Anderson Intelligencer. i sanngas BBS " ea ag it TLX fl ORTKIGHT With every Cortright Metal Shingle Roof, you buy peace of mind.

Columbus, Ind., June 19.-A well- j dressed youth, wbo gave his name as ( WiMiam McGregor, arrived here yes terday, and going to the police he ! sought their assistance in searching j for his parents, from whom he said ? he had recently learned he was kid- ! napped when he was five years old. ? He said he was 18 years old, and j came here from Texas in search of ! his parents. A few weeks ago he ? received a letter from a woman in , Pennsylvania, informing him that he ? was kidnapped from Columbus, Ind., when five years of age. After re ceiving the letter he eave-dropped ; the family with whom he was living, j and learning enough to convince I him that the contents of the letter were true, he confronted the family and they confirmed the Information, ' when he started Immediately for ! this place. His story is more thrilling, even > than that of Willie Whltla, and ls to the effect that he distinctly remem- j bers of traveling in a covered wagon for a number of years, and being forced by his captors to beg and of : being cruelly beaten when he was not ' successful In securing alms. As yet he has been unable to lo- I cale his parents, and it is thought probable that McGregor is not his right name, and that If his parents lived here, they may in the mean time have moved away. OABTOIIIA. ?o?r?the ^The IM You Have Always Bottfll TROUT LEAPED 406 FEET. j How a Pennsylvania Fisli Fooled a Wild Cat. "Yes," remarked Doc Boyer, ac- 1 cording to the Philadelphia North American, "the trout possesses re markable qualities when it comes to Jumping. 1 recall one summer, ' when we were camping at Tumbling Hun, of seeing a trout pursued by a wild cat. "The cat saw a large trout In a pool at the bottom of the mountain and made a grab, lt missed the fish ? by the fraction of nn Inch and be fore the wild cat could make ano- I ?her try the trout had leaped Into the pool above, a jump, 1 should say of three feet. 1 "When Its pursuer climbed up over the rocks the trout jumped the next series of falls. This was about the same distance. The next jump was a trifle stronger, about four and a half feet, and when the lish landed in the pool, it turned and looked over the edge of the falls to see who- ; titer the wild cat was still on the Joh. 1 lt was. "Then the big, spotted fi?h lost no time, hut started to climb tue side of the mountain, breaking every trout record. It never stopped until it brought up at the crest of the slope. The wild cat took its time, but kept right on. "It was evident that the trout , could go no higher and the chances I of that wild cat's dining on fish look- 1 ed bright. When the wild cat was j only two feet away and the trout could feel its hot breath that fish took a running start and, leaping far out into the valle" landed in a deep pool at the bottom of the valley. It was a jump of 496 feet. 1 measured lt myself." Joan's Club. "We girls formed a new club to day," casually remarked Joan at the dinner table. "Oh, my!" groaned John in mock dismay, 'i should think you would be 'clubbed' to death!" "Tell us about lt, dearie," suggest ed mother. "Some of us hr. ,e discovered," Joan explained, "that we were find ing fault with almost everyone we knew, criticising more and more every day, and saying unkind tilings, and it frightened us when we stopped i to think of lt; so we have banded together and will try to cure our selves of this disagreeable habit. If we can find nothing good I o say, we will say nothing. That is all there ls to it, excepting we are to pay a small fine every time we break that rule." "That would be a pretty good club for more of us to belong to," re marked father, quietly, and John's tensing face grew sober. The Ambitious Hen. (Montreal Star.) This faithful creature always laid an egg of the same size as tho por celain nest egg used on her as a decoy. Perceiving the hen's intense ambi tion, the farmer put a porcelain g' iso egg in her nest. Sho laid a goose egg. Then the farmer, greatly pleased, put In the nest a whitewashed foot ball. The next time he visited the barn he found an egg O. K., but no hen was in sight. Ho took up the egg and snw en graved on it: "I'm no ostrich, but I've done rny best."
