Wr. TAX REMTTIONS BIG PROB
LEM.
With the next session of Congress
|p£. only a few weeks off the public is be
t*” coming more and more interested in
* the new tax law which will be pre-
Epjfc; sented. Already committees of Con-
W*' gress have been called .to the capital
f|Sv to discuss the matter and get data ill
shape for presentation to that body.
' and the fact that much difference of i
r opinion has been expressed leads to
fc, the supposition that a long tight is 1
| ahead on the question.
On this one point there is agreement
K" —taxes will be reduced. The Kcpubli-
cans and the I >emm-iats do not agree
ip now on the nature of the reductions
but they agree that the finances of the
|| \ nation have reached a point where big
Wi?- reduet ions can be made and members
g> of each party are drawing up meas
gv. ures which they hope w ill get the sup- !
| port of members of Congress.
M ‘ Secretary Mellon is opposed to the
l suggestion of Representative Garner,
rak Democrat. of Texas, that an increase
BE* in the exemption for single persons
jfj' from SI,OOO to 8;-i.rWKt and for married
gfo persons from $2,000 to sr>.ooo. JSmh
a scheme, which has the endorsement
IP'’: ©f other Democratic members of the
pf 4 committee, is estimated to relieve ?».-
fe: 000,000 persons from all levies. Wheth-
er the treasury w ill favor any increase
in personal exemptions has not been
| made known.
4i The sole result^ of such a change*’
' the treasury head declared, “would l»e
, an enormous loss of revenue to the
fgovernment without a single coinpen
sating advantage. As a matter of pol
icy, it is advisable to have every
citizen with a stake in Ids country."

' SCHOOL EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR
A new feature of the Cabarrus
County Fair this year was the school
exhibit, made up of various drawings
made by pupils iu the scliools of the
city and county.
, The exhibits were so fine that this
feature is certain to be given even
more recognition next year. The draw'
ings, maps, sketches and posters as
presented in the exhibit deserve spec
ial recognition because of their excel
lence, and hundreds of persons who
saw them at the fair were sruprised
to learn that such work is being done
in the schools of Concord and Cabar
rus county.
GIRL DESERTS INFANT
IN PASSENGER STATION
Leaves It in Crib in Women's Rest
Hbom in Greensboro.—Taken to the
Children’s Home There.
Greeu-boro news.
A little bundle of pink lmmauity
about two weeks old lay in the crib
in the women's rest room at the rail
way stattion here from 4 y’lt) yesterday
afternoon until 11 o'clock last night,
while women passers-by glanced down
admiringly. But never did the right
eyes glance down for the mother is
missing ami her whereabouts un
known.
Yesterday afternoon a young wom
an. who appeared to la- :u her late
teens, neatly dressed, entered the sta
tion with a baby in her arms. She
passed tlie Travelers Aid desk, hesi
tated and went into the rest room,
where she placed the baby in the crib.
“Aunt” Peggy, the negro maid,
went to work at 7 o'clock last night.
She espied the baby and also a young
woman in the rest room. Aunt Peggy
remarked:
“What a pretty baby you have!”
“That's not my baby.”
"But whose can it beV"
“I don’t know, it was here when I
came in."
“Are you sure it's not your baby?’’
“Yes, I'm not married"
So Aunt Peggy was finally assured
and also perplexed. She notified the
Travelers' Aid. The mother was •
gone.
Tin- baby sta-ed at the strange faee
about her and obviously intimated that
it was hungry, A little hex of clothes
and two bottles of milk were lying
in the crib beside. Some other mother
fed her.
S.i the little foundling is now in the
Children’s home, unaware of its plight.
Though she doesn't know it. she is
awaiting a mother who may return or
may not.

"M’tie%’!“ The French Cana
dian’s face flushed, he raised his head
and met the gaxe of the two men.
There was an air of dignity about
him as he said: “Dere’s plenty t’ing
in dis wort’ we don’ get pay’ for.
You didn't ’spect no pay, yesterday
when you run de W’ite ’.Orse for
save dis gal an’ her papa, did you?
No. Waj, I’m woodsman, river

You s’pose I mak’ dem pay for w’at

’Poleon was soaring as only his
free soul could sbar; he indicated
the tent at his back, whence issued
the soqnd of Rouletta Kirby’s cease
less murmurings.
“Dis gal—she's tiny snowbird wit'
broken wing, then I I fix her wing
de bes’ I can. I mak’ her well an’
1 teach her to fly again. Dat’s all.”
Broad and Bridges had listened at
tentively, their faces impassive.
Lucky was the first to speak.
“Letty’s a good girl, y'understand.
She’s different to these others —”
'Poleon interrupted with a ges
ture of impatience. “It ain't mak'
no difference if she’s good or bad.
She’s seeck.”
“Me’ ’n’ the Kid have done some
heavy thinkin’, an’ we’d about de
cided to get a high stool and take
turns lookin’ out Letty’s game, just'
to see that her bets went as they laid,
but I got a hunch you’re a square
guy. AVhat (Tyou think. Kid?”
Mr. Bridges nodded his head slow
ly. “I got the same hunch. The
point is this.” he explained. “We
can’t very well throw the Countess
—we got some of her outfit—and,
rnyhow, we’d be about as handy
around an invalid as a coupla cub
bears. I think we’ll bow 1 out But,
Frenchy—if ever we hear, a kick
from that gal we’lk— we’ll follcr you
like a track. Won’t we, Lucky?”
“We’ll foller him to hell!” Mr.
Broad feelingly declared.
ceremoniously, the callers
shook hands with Doret, then they
returned whence they had come,
They went their way; RoulettVs de
lirium continued; ’Poleon’s problem
increase daily; meanwhile, how
ever, the life of the North did not
slacken a single pulse-beat.
Never since their earliest associa
tions had Tom Linton and Jeny
Quirk found themselves in such ab
solute acord, in such complete har
mony of understanding, as during
the days that immediately followed
their reconciliation. Each man un
dertook to outdo the other in po
liteness ; each man forced himself to
be considerate, and strove at what
:ver expense to himself to lighten
the other's burdens; all of thqir re
lations .were characterized by an
elaborate, an almost mid-Victorian
tourtesy. A friendly rivalry in self
sacrifice existed between them; they
quarreled good-naturedly over the
dish-washing, that disgusting rite
which tries the patience of every
grown man; when there was wood
to be cut they battled with each other
tor the ax.
But there is a limit to politeness;
unfailing sunshine gfows tedious,
ind so does a monotonous exercise
bf magnanimity.
While it had been an easy mat
ter to cut their rowboat in two, the
process of splicing it together again
(ad required patience and ingenuity,
ind it had resulted in delay. By the
lime they arrived at Miles Canon,
(herefore, the season was far ad
ranced and both men, without know
ing it, were in a condition of mind
to welcomj, any sort of a squall that
would serve to freshen the unbear
ably stagnant atmosphere of amia
kility in which they were slowly
luffocating.
“You? Why, Jerry, it was my fault are cut the'old ship in two.”
Here for the first time the resuits
ts their quarrel arose to embarrass
hem: they could find no pilot who
would risk his life in a craft so bad-
put together as their. After re
peated discouragements partner;
look counsel with each other; reluc
tantly they agreed that they were up
igainst it.
“Seems like T ’ve about ruined ns,"
Hr. Quirk acknowledged, ruefully.
“Yon? Why, Jerry, it was my
latflt we cut the old ship in two,,
Mr* Linton declared./
The former speaker remonstrated,
(ently. “Now, Tom, it’s just Idft

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIftUNB
yotrre v*iu.?s, jerry, om ooj —it tmrt
more than once or twice in a life
time—but- you’re wrong now. Pm
the guilty wretch and I’d ought to
hang for it My rotten temper—"
“Pshaw! You got one of the
nicest dispositions I ever see—in a
man. You're sweeter ’n a persim
mon. I pecked at you till ytrnr core
was exposed. I’m a thorn in the
flesh, Tom, and folks wouldn’t criti
cize you none for doin’ away with
me.”
“You’re ’way off. I climbed you
with my spurs—”
“Now, Tom!” Sadly Mr. Quirk
wagged, his gray head. “I don’t
often argue with anybody, especially
with you, but the damnable idea of
dividin’ our spoils originated in my
evil mind and I’m goin ’to pay the
penalty. 11l ride this white-pine Out
law through bv myself. You ear him
down till I get both feet in the stir
rups, then turn him a-loose; - I'll
finish settin’ up and I won’t pull
leather.”
“How you tblk! Boats ain't like
horses; it'll take a good oarsman
to navigate these rapids—”
“Well?” Quirk looked up quickly.
“I’m a good oarsman.” There was
a momentary' pause. “Ain’t I?"
Mr. Linton hastily remedied his
slip of the tongue. “You’re a bear!’’
he asserted, with feeling. “I don’t
know as I ever saw a better boatman
than you, for your weight and ex
perience, but—there’s a few things
about boats that you never had the
chance to pick up, you being sort of
a cactus and alkali sailor. For in'”
stance, when you want a boat to go
‘gee’ you have to pull on the ‘off’
car. It’s plumb opposite to the way
you stem a horse.”
“Surer Didn’t I figger that out
for the both of us? We ’most had
a runaway till I doped it out”
Now this was a plain perversion
of fact, for it was Tom who had
made tlie discovery. Mr. Linton was
about to so state tlie matter when
he reflected that doubtless Jerry’s in
tentions were honest and that his
failing memory was to blame for the
misstatement. It was annoying to be
robbed of the credit for an impor
tant discovery, of course, but Tom
swallowed his resentment.
"The point is this,” he said, with
a resumption of geniality. “You’d
get all wet in them ranids, Jerry, and
—you know what that means. I’d
rather take a chance on drowning
myself than to nurse you through
another bad cold ”
4- was a perfectly sincere speech
—ad ‘ indirect expression of deep
concern that reflected no little credit
upon tjte speaker’s generosity. Tdj| ■
was exasperated, therefore, when
Jerry, by some characteristic proces*
of crooked reasoning, managed to
misinterpret it. Plaintively the lat-.
ter said:
“I s’pose I a»t a handicap to you,
Tom You’re mighty consid’rate of
my feelin’s, not to throw it up to me
any oftenei than you do.”
“I don’t throw it up to you none.
I never did. No, Jerry, I’ll row
the boat. You go overland and keep
your feet dry.”
“A lot of good that would do."
Mr. Quirk spoke morosely. “I’d
starve to death walkin’ around t)
you lost the grub.”
This struck Tom Linton as a verV
narrow, a very selfish way of look*
ing at the matter. He had taken no
such view of Jerry’s offer; he bad
thought less about the grub than
about his partner’s safety It was
an inconsiderate and unfeeling re
mark. After a moment he said
“YoU know I don’t throw things
up to you, Jerry. I ain’t that kind ”
Mr. Quirk stirred uneasily. “You
didn’t mean to say that, did you?”
WTtat Jerry would have answered
is uncertain, for his attention at the
moment was attracted by a Stranger
who strode down the hank and now
accosted him and his partner jointly. ■
Bon four, m'sieur's’" said the
new-comep “I’m lookin’ for buy
some lemon’. You got some, no?”
Mr. Quirk spoke irritably. “Sure.
We’ve got a few, but they ain’t for
sale.”
The stranger—Quirk remembered
him as the Frenchman, Doret, w hom
he had seen at Sheep Camp—smiled
confidently.
“Oh vest Everyt’ing is for sale
if you ®ay ’nough for him,” said he.
Now this fellow had broken the
thread of a conversation into which
a vague undertone of acrimony was
creeping— a' conversation that gave
every indication of developing into
an agreeable and soul-satis tying dif
erence of opinion, if not even, into
a loud and free-spoken argument of
the old familiar soft. To' have the
promise of an invigorating quarrel
frustrated by ■ an <,MKot<c diverjootf
lemons caused both old
men to turn their “eht-up exaspera
tion upon the speaker.
■ f We’ve got use for our lemons
igpiwWpttt
e 'vve womant give lemon aid to
■ nobody.” Jerry grinned in malicious
i enjoyment of his own wit.
t “You got how many?” ’Poleon
persisted.
“Oh, T>out enough! Mebbe a
t dozen or two.” *
“I buy ’em. Dere’s poor seeck
• lady— ’’
: Tom cut in brusquely. “You
won’t buy anything here. Don’t tell
i us your troubles. We’ve got enoun
of our own, and poverty ain’t among
i the number.”
“W’at trouble you got, eh? Me,
: I’m de trouble man. .‘Mebbe T fix
; ’em.” \
Sourly the partners explained their
difficulty. .When ’Poleon understood
he smiled again, more widely.
“Good I I mak’ bargain wit’ you,
queeck. Me, I’m pilot of de bes’ an I
tak’ your boat Trough for dose
lemon’.”
The elderly men sat up; they ex
changed startled glances.
“D’you mean it?”
“I’m goin’ have dose lemon’."
“Can’t you buy any in fha
saloons ?”
“No. Wal, w’at you say?”
Tom inquired of his partner,
"Reckon you can get along without
’em, Jerry?”
“Why I been savin’ ’em for you.”
“Then it’s a go!”
"One t’ing you do for me, eh?”
’Poleon hesitated momentarily. “It's
goin’ tak’ tarn for fin” dam’ fool to
he'p me row dat bateau, but—l fin'
him. : Mebbe you set up wit’ IP! seeck
gal while I’m gone. What?” In a
few words he made knowrL the con
dition of affairs at his camp, and the
old men agreed . readily enough.
\\ ith undisguised relief they clamb
ered stiffly out of their boat and
followed the French Canadian up the
trail, As they toiled up the slope
'Poleon. explained:
“De doctor he’s go to Dawson,
an’ t're day dis gal been layin’ seeck
— cr ? z . ee ' n de head. Every hour
medicine, all de tam fire in de stove l
Sapre! I’m half ’sleep"■
“We’ll scf up with her as long as
you want,” Tom volunteered. “Being
a family man myself, I'm a regular
nurse.”
“Me, too," Jerry exclaimed. “I
never had no family, but I alius
been handy around hosses, and
hosses is the same as people, only
bigger—”
Mr. Linton stifled a laugh at this
remark. “That’ll show you!" stud
he. “You leave it to me, Jerry."
“Well, ain’t they?”
“No.”
“They are, too.”
, “PlqmF different.”
The argument waxed hot; it had
reached its height when ’Poleon laid
a finger upon his lips, commanding
silence. On tiptoe he led the two
men into his tent When he had is
sued instructions and left in search
of a boatman the partners seated
themselves awkwardly, their caps in
their hands. _ Curiously, apprehen
sively, they studied the fever*
flushed face of the delirious girl.
“Putty, ain’t she?" Jerry whis
pered.
Tom nodded. “She’s sick, Ml
(right, too,” he said is a similar tone;
then, after a moment: “I’ve been
thinking about them lemons. We’re
getting about a hundred dollar* a
dozen for ’em. Kind of a rotten
trick, under the circumstances. I’m
sorry you put it up to that feller the
way you did.”
Mr. Quirk stiffened, his eyes wid
ened in astonishmeht.
“Me? I didn’t put it up to him.
You done it. They’re your lemons.”
How d’you figure thev’re mine?”
"You bought ’em, didn’t you?”
“I paid for ’em, if that’s what you
mean, but I bought ’em for you,
same as I bought that liquor. You’ve
et most of ’em, and you’ve drank
most of the whiskey. You needed it
worse than I did, Jerry, and I’ve al
ways considered—"
Now any reference, any reflection
upon his physical limitations, how
ever remote or indirect, aroused
Jerry's instant ire. “At it agbia,
ain’t you ?” he cried, testily. “I s’pose
you’ll forget about that whiskey in
four or five years. I hope 'to— ”
”’Sh-h!” Tom made a gesture
commanding silence, for Jerry had
unconsciously raised his yoke.
ail* you?” he inquired,
sweetly -
“Nothin' ails me,” Jerry muttered
under his breath. “That’s the trou
ble. You’re alius talkin' like it did
—like I had one foot in the grkve
and was gaspin’ my last. I’m hard
as a hickory-nut. I could throw you '
down and set on you.”
“©id you ever give lemons to side
folks?’ Tom inquired, in his turn.
“Sure! Thousands,”
Now this wag gfich an outrageous
exaggeration that Linton was im
pelled to exetgim:
"Ruts! You never smw a thousand
sick folks." x
'“I didn’t say\ so. I said I’d given
thousands of lemons—” •
“Oh!” Tom filial his pipe and lit
it, whereupon his partner breathed a
sibilant 'Warning;
. "Put out that smudge! D’yoa
*hn to Strangle the gigj ?”
With a guilty start the offender
duelled the fire with his thumb.
The idea of iightin’ sheep-dip in
a rick-room!” Mr. Quirk went on.
With his cap he fanned violently at
the ftrines.

Taking CardnL
Huntington, W. Va.—“l was in a
very weak and run-down condition
—in fact, was in a serious condi
tion,” says Mrs. Fannie C. Bloss, of
1964 Madison Avenue, tbis city.
“In my left side the pain was
Very severe. It would start in my
back and sides. Part of the time I
was in bed and when up I didn’t
feel like doing anything or going
anywhere.
“Life wasn’t any pleasure. I
was very pale. I was nervous and
thin, and so tired all the time.
“My druggist told me that Cardui
was a good tonic for women and l
bought a couple of bottles. I took
two bottles, then I noticed, an im
provement. I kept on and found
it was helping me. I have taken
nine bottles. I’m stronger now
than I have been in a long time.”
Cardui is made from mild-acting
medicinal herbs with a gentle, tonic,
strengthening effect upon certain
female organs and upon the system
in general.
