Thrteen men were klled whle on huntng excursons n tba state n bref open season. That s number of young men klled n football n whole country tba year, or as, many Pennsylvanans as have ded from ths cause n a century. These fgures are offered not to prove that football la wthout a certan amount of rsk, but to show that all human occupatons are occompaned by some dangers; says Phladelpha nqurer. The law of averages s a remarkable one. t ndcates that about a certan; number of persons de each year from fortutous causes and f one clafcs s lackng or supples defcency. Parents who are afrad r boys wll be njured er klled playng football may be encouraged by fact that t s proved to be one of most nnocuous of sports. The danger from death or severe njury n any college sport s not anythng lke so great as that 6f beng run down by an automoble or trolley car. Human lfe s precous and must be conserved. Scence has done much for those who err n certan drectons, but t has nothng to offer those who suffer from pure accdent. All of whch means that what s needed by young and old s smply a modcum of common sense. t s not to be fo gotten that motber-vh kept' her boy home from school because he dreamed he had ded was an actual mourner a few hours later because he fell off roof. Let us all act sensbly, wltl courage, fath and proper cauton. Those who take most pans to escape accdents are apt to be wors sufferers, but t s certan that boysh sports are not dangerous compared wth " most ordnary avocatons of adults. THE REVEW OF ASSESSMENTS MAY BE GVEN BACK TO TAX COMMSSON. WARDEN RUSSELL'S DEFENSE OF PUNSHMENTS FOR BAD PR1SONER8. Revew of Thngs That Are Before Legslature and Whch Are Recevng Attenton. BY L. C. WARD. There seems to be no queston but that legslature s gong to gve nack to state tax commsson power to revew local assessments on ts own ntatve and also that commsson wll be gven appropraton necessary to engage requred help. A bll of Rep. Lord's, provdng for ths, was favorably re- ( ported out n house and over n senate Senator Whte ntroduced four blls on tax subject. Two of m provdes for authorty contaned n Lord bll, one creates a new state board of equalzaton and provdes that t shall meet every two years nstead of every fve years, as n past, and or provdes for an nvestgaton of - mnng property of state by a board of experts. When publc drans are now authorzed n farmng, dstrcts tne cost t* defrayed by frst fxng a. dranage assessment dstrct. Then / cost s spread over one to three' tax years. The result s that amount some farmers n dstrct must pay each year equal* or exceeds all r or taxes, so t s a hardshp. Besdes, contractors sell r pay certfcates to local banks at 10 to 15 per cent dscount, whch means that y have b«en pad for work that amount n excess of what y could have proftably done t for had y been pad n cash or bonds. To remedy ths condton farmers ask that y be allowed to ssue dranage bonds and Rep. Curre, of Mdland, has ntroduced a bll for m. t provdes that f cost of a dran n a dranage dstrct exceeds $2,000 bonds can be ssued to pay contractors, bonds to run as long as years, provdng two-thrds of taxpayers n dstrct so petton, and a majorty of board of supervsors consent. Oho and owa have such a law. A New York chauffeur, 17 years"om, convcted of manslaughter n second degree whle on a oy rde, baa been sentenced to ppend 1& years n Elmra reformatory. The judge remarked that next oy rldar brought before Wra would bo sentenced to Sng Sng, addng: "You are only 17 years old, and t seems to me that state of New York s gulty tself n permttng such a youth as you to drve an automoble on our publc thoroughfares." The udge was rght both n nflctng penalty and n hs comment on ~ recklessness that permts chldren to handle se powerful machnes, says ndanapols Star. t s not untl adequate ]junshment~ttp"fr('asured out to careless automoble drvers that r dsregard for publc rghts wll be checked. At same tme t s worth whle ro remember that not all many accdents by any means occur whenyoung drvers are n charge.-"""" There -s Anderson case for example, reported or day, where a busness man. of mature years turned to look back -whle drvng -hs machne, and at that moment ran down and klled a chld. Canada has custom house troubles also. t seems some of far damsels and matrons of tb#" Domnon have habt of comng'over to " States," gettng new gowns and wear ng m back across border, wthout gong through form «arf payng duty, says Troy Tmes. And t s mere than hnted that lades not nfrequently roduge n smugglng n or ways. So Canaddan collectors have taken a leaf from book ol Collector Lo«b -of New York and a1 more mportant lne* of travel to and from Domnon have est ah Ltebed extra vglant guards, asssted by women searchers. The result has been some clever captures.and a con sderable addton to Canadan revenue. From al of whch t wll be seen that tryng to cheat govern ment s a practce confned tp no on* clme or country. Pnoportonately, tt s sad, lumber of nsane people n ths country ncreasng faster than populaton s growng, takng asylum statstcs fot t Even at that, re s scarcely a fellow but wll declare that asy luras don't get m al, er.

The Bradley Case. The commttee whch nvestgated charges made agavst Senator Bradley wll not report for several days yet. The report s to be a lengthy affar and evdence lad before commttee wll be pretty thoroughly gone nto Because of fght wth Speaker Baker n House, t has been proposed that no nsttutonal commttee be permtted to make trps of nvestgaton and that no specal appropratons be allowed. Ths meets wth partal endorsement of governor, who says sprt of economy demands that specal appropratons be cut as low as possble ths year n order that tax trad Ret may be kept wthn bounds and defcts pad up, puttng Mchgan once more upon her feet.

Anor plan to awaken nterest among those waverng on proposton wll be to brng to Lansng Senator Bourne of Oregon to talk to members and endeavor to str m up to pont of submttng queston. The Bradley graft hearng was concluded Frday mornng wth, tre" arguments of attorneys. The takng of testmony was completed on Thursday afternoon. The specal -commttee wll report sometme next week, but just when has not been decded. The evdence supported story of Sherman H.

They onlywanted fosterng and brngng out. That was why she marred hm. She was a few years hs senor; she felt that she was stronger mentally. She consdered t was her duty to devote her lfe to hm, to protect hm from hmself and make a man of hm. t was not her fault, she mused, f she was not a lady. Lterally brought up n gutter, what advantages had she had? Her mor ded n chldbrth and her far, a professonal gambler, abandoned tfce AUtle grl to tender merces of an ndfferent neghbor. When she was about eght years old her far was arrested. He refused to pay polce blackmal, was ndcted, ralro&ded to prson and ded soon after n convct strpes. There was no provson for Anne's mantenance, so at age of" nne she found herself tolng n a factory, a helpless vctm of brutalzng system of chld slavery, whch n spte of prohbtng laws stll dsgraces Unted States.

She left factory to work behnd counter n a New York dry goods store. Then about a year ago she drfted to New Haven and took poston of watress at restaurant whch college boys patronzed.

After that he let her alone? She never lked man. She knew hm to be unprncpled ns well as vcous. One nght he brought Howard effres to restaurant. They seemed closest of crones and she was sorry to see what bad nfluence elder sophomore had over y_rung_re h.rnal_ to jq-hxun she was at once attracted.

Her nterest n young student grew. They became acquanted and Howard, not realzng that she was older than he, was mmedately captvated by her vvacous charm and her commonsense vews. They saw each or more frequently and r frendshp grew untl one day Howard asked her to marry hm. Whle she sometmes blamed herself for havng lstened too wllngly, to Howard's pleadngs, she dd not altoger regret step she had taken. t was most unfortunate that Y V re must be ths rupture wth hs famly, yet somethng wthn told her that she was dong God's work savng a man's soul. Wthout her, Howard would have gone swftly to run, re was lttlvdoubt of that. Hs affecton for her had partly, f not wholly, redeemed hm and was keepng hm straght. He had ber-n good to her ever snce r marrage and done everythng to makster comfortable. Once he took a poston as guard on elevated road, but caught cold and was forced to gve t up. She wanted to go to work agan, but he angrly refused. That aloue showed that he was not entrely devod of character. He was unfortunate at present nnd y were poor, but by dnt of perseverance he would wn out and make a poston for hmself wthout hs far's help. These were r darkest days, but lght was ahead. As long as y loved each or and had r health what more was necessary? "Say, Anne, have an dea," suddenly blurted out Howard. "What a t, dear?" she asked, her reveres thus abruptly nterrupted.

Mr. Franzon must have meant somethng else. So, when ffteenth day of May arrved sgns were that presdental advent would not be celebrated by unlmted rejocng. Presdent Zarlla was a lttle, elderly man, grzzly bearded, wth a consderable rato of ndan blood revealed n hs cnnamon complexon. As he was asssted nto hs carrage, hs sharp, beady ejtes glanced around for expected demonstraton of welcome, but he faced a stold, unenthnspd array of curous ctzens.

At'length, after a prodgous gallopng and curvettng of red-sashed majors, gold-laced colonels and epauletted generals, processon formed for ts annual formal progress down prncpal street Carano Real to government buldng at ts end.

As oldest member of cabnet, custom had decreed that he should make address of welcome, presentng keys of offcal resdence to presdent at ts close. Holdng n hs hand glt keys of Casa Morena, he began hs address n s hstorcal form, touchng upon each admnstraton and advance of cvlzaton and prosperty from frst dm strvng after lberty down to present tmes, Arrvng at regme of Presdent Zarlla, at whch pont, accordng to precedent, he should have delvered a eulogy upon ts wse conduct and happness of people, General Plar paused. Then he slently held up bunch of keys hgh above hs head, wth hs eyes closely regardng t. The rbbon wth whch y were bound fluttered n breeze. "t stll blows," cred speaker, exultantly. "Ctzens of Costaragua, gve thanks to sants ths nght that our ar s stll free." Thus dsposng of Zarlla's admnstraton, he abruptly reverted to that of OHvarra, Costaragua's most popular ruler. OHvarra had been assassnated nne years before whle n prme of lfe and usefulness. A facton of Lberal party led by Zarlla hmself had been accused of deed. Wher gulty or not, t was eght years before ambtous and schemng Zarlla had ganed hs goal. Upon ths me General Plar*a eloquence was loosed. He drew pcture of benefeent OHvarra wth a lovng hand. He remnded peaple of peace, securty and happness y had enjoyed durng that perod. He recalled n vvd detal and wth sgnfcant contrast last summer sojourn of Presdent OHvarra n Puerto Rey, when hs appearance at r festas was sgnal for thunderng vvas of love and approbaton. The frst publc expresson of send- ment from people that day followed. A low, sustaned murmur went presdent and hs offcal famly durng r sojourn. But now, ths year, though mddle of May was almost come, heart of people waa not strred to ' customary joyous preparaton. Throughout entre republc re seemed to be a sprt of slent, sullen dscontent. The, admnstraton of Presdent Zarlla had made hm far from a popular dol. Fresh taxes, fresh mport dutes, and, more than all, hs tolerance of outrageous oppresson of ctzens by mltary had rendered hm " most obnoxous presdent snce despsed Alforan. But most mpoltc of admnstraton's moves had been when t antagonzed Vesuvus Frut Company of New Orleans, an organzaton plyng twelve steamshps, and wth a cash captal somethng larger than Costaragua's surplus and debt combned. Naturally, an establshed concern lke Vesuvus would become rrtated at havng a small, retal republc wth no ratng at all attempt V* squeeze t 8o. when government proxes appled for subsdy y encountered a polte refusal.

The Vesuvus sent Mr. Franzon, a lttle, stout, cheerful man always whstlng Verd.
