Better Than a Clock.
"My dear, do you know it is the
fashion now to have a big clock at
the head of the stairs?"#
Wife?"Yes, I know; but ours is
* not going there."
"Why not?"
"A clock at that point is not necessary.
When you come home late, I
shall always be at the head of the
stairs to tell you what time it is."
Speaking of vacations, the most
delightful one that we could imagine
would be not to hear nor see nor
think the word "expense" for about
two weeks.

The Luxury Tax.
Collector D. C. Heyward of the internal
revenue service, has given out
additional instructions in connection
with the collection of internal revenue
taxes. These instructions are
especially important in that they
make clear the fact that the tax is
payable on each ten cents of the
amount of a purchase, rather than
upon each separate five or ten cents
article included in a given purchase.
The instructions are as follows:
Section 630. On what is commonly
known as soft drinks compounded
and mixed at or in close proximity
c*r?r?o frmnfaine r>r nthor cimilar
places of business including ice cream
etc. The tax is one cent on each sale
of ten cents or less and if above ten
cents one cent on each ten cents or
fraction part thereof. The tax is on
the whole amount of the price paid by
the purchaser when the price is paid
at one time though it might be in
payment for several articles or drinks
but which are the subject of a single
transaction, purchase or sale. For
example, if a sale is made of one
glass of coca cola at the price of 5
cents, the tax hereon is one cent, but
if one person purchases 5 glasses of
coca cola at a price of 25 cents the tax
thereon is 3 cents.
Section 904. Covering the tax upon
the following articles sold at retail in
excess of the specified prices. The
tax is ten per cent of the amounts in
excess- of the following amount: J
Picture frames above $10; 2, Trunks
above $50: 3, Carpets and rugs above
$5 per square yard; 4, Valises, traveling
bags, suit cases, etc., above
$25; 5, Purses, pocket-books, shopping
and hand bags above $7.50; 0,
Portable lighting fixtures, lamps, etc.,
ahnvp S2n- 7. Umbrellas. Darasols
and sunshades above $4; 8, Fans any
amount above $1; 9, House or smoking
coats, lounging and bath robes,
etc, above $7.50; 10, Men's waistcoats
sold separately from suits above
$5; 11, Women's and misses hats,
bonnets and hoods above $15.* 12,
Men's and boys' hats above $2, 14,

ho?e above $2 per pair; 16, Men's
and boys' neckties and neckwear
above $2; 17, Women's and misses'
silk stockings or hose above $2 per
pair; 18, Men's shirts above $o each:
19, Men's, women's, misses aQd boys'
pajamas, night gowns and underwear,
on the amount in excess of $5 each;
20, Kimonas, petticoats and waists
above $15.

Mrs. Brown?No trouble at all.
She's broken all our best dishes and
now she's out looking for new worlds
to conquer.?Answers.

"I've had considerable experience
as a salesman. Why, I -was successful
the first day I started. The first
place I went to was a large ooncern,
and although I was there only a minute,
or so, I got two orders."
"What were they?"
"Get out and stay out."

in the war he will come to the judgment

shining armor," but an ordinary man
with a heavy burden upon his soul.

The Dutch Prophet Says?
Cool periods in July similar to
present conditions (June 28) will occur
July 13 and July 27. Precipitation
will continue in July in greater
volume in some sections than others
in the South Atlantic States, but
enough and to spare generally.
Foliage on elm and oak begins to
show the effect of the absence of
proper radiation of the sun's rays:
Readers of the State will find in
Sunday's issue (Page 35) a full explanation
of the proper radiation of
the sun's rays as they should effect
the earth at this period of the year.
The Dutch Weather Prophet has been
asked to explain this matter, and so
he directs attention to the section of
CARD FROM WILLIS HERXDOX.
