One on the Boy.
When Attorney Jim Butler was
first admitted to practice, the
lirst case he got was in a jus
tice court, and unexpectedly the
young attorney found his father,
Edward Butler, summoned as a
witness by the other side. The
case proceeded, and the humor
ously solemn father was called
to the stand. His son took him
for examination.
“What's your name?”
“Edward Butler.”
“Live in Baltimore?”
“Yes” (with a sidelong look .
“Ai\e you married?”
“Well, if I wasn’t you’ll be in
a hell of a lix.”
That lost the son’s case, but
it made him careful ever after
about what lawyers call “laying
the foundation” for an examina
tion.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 27 —
The wealth of gold, silver and
paper money filling the vaults
of the Federal Treasury is due
in no small measure to the rec
ord-breaking drinking, smoking
and card-playing of the Ameri
can people during, the fiscal year
1913. Details of the sources of
the $344,424,453 collected in in
ternal revenue taxes during the
year ended June 30—the greatest
in the history of the country—
were disclosed today in a report
to Secretary Mcadoo by William
If. Osborne, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue.
The 143,220,000 gallons of
whiskey consumed during the
year brought in $157,542,000;
the (55,2 46,000 barrels of beer,
porter and ales, $65,246,000; the
14.276.771.000 cigarettes, $17,
846,000; the 7,699,038,000 cigars,
$23,097,000; the chewing and
smoking of 40 4,363,000 pounds
of tobacco, $32,349,000; taxes on
33.209.000 pounds of snuff, $2,
657,000; and the sale of 32,76 4,
155 packs of playing cards, an
increase of 1,952,475 over the
previous year, brought $655,283.
The aggregate number of sa
loons in the country this year
was 194,590, a decrease, despite
the increased consumption of in
toxicants, of 21,554. as compared
with the fiscal year 1912. Whole
sale liipior dealesr numbered 6,
J52, a decrease of 600 within a
year.
Total internal revenue re
ceipts of 1913 exceeded the pre
vious high record f>f 1911 'by
$21,898,000 and the collections
of 1912 by $22,809,000. To col
lect the enormous sum it cost
the government $5,483,000.

ELI DOTED
BY MDBURST
Ely, Nev., Aug. 21.—A cloud
burst struck this town today and
the wall of water tore out many
buildings, carrying them away. A
number of people lost their lives,
but the total loss will not be
known for several days until the
wreckage is searched for dead
bodies. The downpour of water
bore down on the town without a
moment's warning and many
were caught, while others barely
l escaped by running for higher
ground.
DEFEAT CHANGE
IN Ml TAX
Washington, Aug. 27.--The
amendment to the tariff hi^ rais
ing the income tax on incomes
over $100,000 to live per cent,
was defeated today.
True Economy.
A canny Scot was sitting in the
smoking compartment of the
train, and, after Idling his pipe,
Ij'e turned to the man on his left
and asked: “Hae ye a match?”
The'man went through his
pockets and said: “I am sorry,
but I have not.” Turning to the
man on his rigid, he asked the
same question, and after a
search this man also said: “1
am very sorry, bill 1 have used
my last one.”
“Ah, wool,” said the thrifty
Scot with a sigh, as he reached
into his own pocket, “I’ll hae In
list* one ol my ain.”
