I guess jail is the only place for me, and 1 would like to ask you to impose the ; maximum sentence. I hope you will give me the limit. “TI want to thank the jury. It was dered, and I want to thank Mr. Ol- cott, the assistant district attorney, ~ for his fairness in trying hee case.’ This is a remarkable “markable not only in that Hi aceus- ed stood up and took his medicine like a man, but remarkable in that he ~ owned up to everything after it had, ~~ beyond a doubt, been proven against him. ~ We believe it is an indication of Pe better. - If it isn’t that, then it may mean that the world is growing worse; for it reflects a revival of the risky business of taking a long shot - on deathbed repentance. The form- er broker waited as long as possible to make his heroic confession.—The “Temple Tolonram. THE INCOME TAX as $1,000 this year and is unmarried must make an income tax statement. If he is married he need not file th- statement unless his income was $2,000. With the present rate of ‘wages more people than heretofore will come under the provisions of the ~ law. Certain deductions are permit- ‘ted for children under age and for ‘helpless dependents of all ages. On last year’s “normal’ incomes 6 per cent was paid; on this year’s the rate is 4 per cent. Thus a man who last year, paid $60; this year the would be $40. The income tax is probably here to stay, but it is ex pected that the normal tax will be re- rate. Incomes in excess of $4,000, after deductions are made, will pay about the principle.

As a result of a simple family let- ter which one of these 25 wrote to her sister in Brooklyn, N. Y., Henry | Ward Beecher became pastor of Ply- mouth church of that city. He became a national figure, » | preaching to more than 3,000 per- sons. each Sunday for mere than 40 years. ; But the opportunity for -it all bl came by his efforts while preaching | to those 25 persons at Lawrenceburg, ind. This policy of always doing our work as if the eyes of opportunity were upon us is operative in the every occupation of life, no matter how humble. It is simply in using one job as the opportunity for the next—a better job. ————— i ———————— All records were broken when 400,- 000 visitors entered the Western Na- tional Parks my motor during the past year.
