SILENT FORCES LEAD MEN ONWARD By George Matthew Adams

I met a silent man the other day. I went with him here and there. We mixed with folks of every sort in a big city. We drove to the sea and watched its calm, and then its roar as its foam spit upon the Band. We looked upon the sun as it crept to its night nest far out upon the great Pacific. And you who have never seen the play of the clouds at sundown across the Golden Gate, have misBed a faint idea of what Heaven must be like. Such streak3 of gold, such opalled beauty! Breath-taking changes In every variety of color. As a friend has expressed it "just God gone on a carnival"! Gypsies in the sky in their pinks, and geranium, magenta and scarlets. Liquid gold-yellow melting second by second into something yet more lovely and divine. And I was happy with my silent friend and liked Mm from the very first He understood what I understood loved what I loved. He was a man of the sea. He was used to storms, hurricanes and stress. Like Ulysses, he bad been far, learned much, and become a part of all that he had met. And mostly In silence he told it all Xo you thrillingly. What a Joy to be with a big, silent man! It was Emerson who once said that "what you are speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." It is that silent force within us that leads us on and makes us liked or loved for wha't we are. Our Judgments are formed in silence. This silent friend of mine, whom I have so recently met, will be an Inspiration to me as I walk noisy streets, and pass through the hurlyburly lanes of this speedy age. The silent Man reserved in Judgment, sound in the truest loyalty!

Romance Found in Inheritances $8,785,641,889 is Staggering Sum Bequeathed to Heirs Between September, 1916, and January, 1922,

By FREDERICK J. HASKItf WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 16. In heritances as a subject of imagination and discussion never lose their glamour. There probably never lived a man who sometime In his life did not spend at least a little while in dreaming of the possibility of coming into an estate.an inheritance, or becoming rich overnight. The pros pect, however remote and intangible, of unexpectedly possessing runas not airectly earned by the sweat of the brow is one which irristibly provokes contemplation. That is the reason why wills, missing heirs, lost witnesses and interminable lawsuits involving estates have so prominent a place in the stories of literature and the stage. They are properties of the Goddess Fortune whom everyone seeks. For this reason the cold statistics of the internal rev enue bureau, recording the bare facts of the estates which are transmitted in the United States, are of absorb ing interest. No personal details are to be found because, under the law. no such facts may be divulged. The statistics are made available to the researcher only in general terms, but even their austere columns harbor an odor of the same romance which made the case Jarudyce versus Jarndyce immortal, the same fascination which makes everybody read a will case in the newspapers. The figures do not reveal how the fortunes are bequeathed. They tell no stories of newsboys who helped old ladies across crowded streets and later woke up millionaires because the old ladies on their deathbeds remembered the kind deeds. Nothing like that The reader must furnish all such details, building up what stories he likes on the hard basis of facts. Billions Go To Heirs. 'What the figures do show Is that the iuu kjrin.un aUl ii i . -J . , luv 1 1 ' ' lii " i.ii i. i; I ii ill; tics have been comp;led, 42,230 estates passed to fortunate heirs. The total sum bequeathed staggers the imagination. It amounted to $S,7S5,641,88S. The average individual would consiler himself lucky if his mornirg mail ir formed him that some old uncle's will had left hira $1,000. But, within this brief period enough money was Inherited to make $8,785 millionaires. The sum if averaged among the re cipients would give 'each a fortune of about $200,000, which is enough for a man to live upon all his days. Forty--two thousand persons, enough to popu'ate a good sized city, all were made rich through inheritance in this brief period. The beneficiary does not get the whole amount of the bequest, for the stern-visaged treasury tax-gatherer steps in and takes a share which, in some cases. Is as much as one-fifth. The total tax paid on these bequests of nearly $9,000,000,000 wa3 $35V 138,323. The smaller estates bring the average down so that for the wholj bulk the rate was only 6.49 per cent on an average, or an average tax of only $9,597.25 per estate.

It is a curious fact that the beneficiaries of wills greatly dislike to give up to the tax collector any part of the sum Inherited, in 6pite of the fact that It is practically a gift for which no labor was performed, and sometimes comes from a distant relative who was a stranger. This curious disinclination to part with any of one s winnings from the chance hand of fortune is illustrated by the tale of the woman who sued to break a will. Sne had been disinherited where she ex pected a bequest and went to cour She lost the case and, of course, the sum she desired. "Well," she said when the verdict was rendered. "At least I won't have to pay the inheritance tax. I have saved that." une innentance tax is levied on net estates, that is, what remains after the various deductions permissible under the tax laws are made. Th estates listed In 4he period under re view were brought down to a net fig ure or 55,407;673,531 and the tax levied upon that sum. Deductions are of various charact ers. In the first place there is a specific deduction of $50,000 for all estates and no one who leaves less than that sum has his bequests cur tailed by the tax. For the period under review there were 5.643 such estates having a gross value of $437,471,290. Many Deductions Are Allowed. The statutory deductions Include charitable, public and similar bepuests. These took $204,491,687 from the tax able total during the 1916-1922 period. The law provides that pronerrv recent ly Inherited by the decedent and whica therefore, has recently paid an inheri tance tax, may be exempted. - The amount coming within this category was $67,582,902. That great sum had been Inherited only recently and held a relatively brief while. Many stories doubtless are behind that classifica tion. What use did the beneficiarv make of his inherited wealth durins his brief period of prosperity? Was the good fortune too much for him and was it the cause of his death The reader may exercise his Imagi nation at will; the statistics reveal nothing.

His first experience In working out was when.he was 14 years old. A I "ter that age he was self-supporting. 1 ie attended public schools, was gradi b xted from the high school at New Loodon and the Normal School at 6 't. Cloud, still working his way. He w n it to Northwestern University, compl e tlng a course in dentistry in 1903 e t the age of 22. In 1904 he located at Glenwoo l , Minn., starting up as a dentist. 1 1 1 1906 he married Miss Lulu Anderso t at Belgrade, Minn. As a reform car didate he was twice elected Mayor o t Glenwood and was elected to the Min - nesota legislature in 1917. As an in- :. dependent candidate, supported by the Non-partisan party, he ran for governor in 1920, but was defeated by J. A. O. Preus. After his defeat for the governorship he moved from Glenwood to Minneapolis, continuing his practice as a dentist. the time of death, and the expenses of the administration of estates may De deducted from the net or taxable estate. These deductions in this period reached a total of $1,033,408,174. It is presumed a large part of this billion was consumed "by the classification "administrative expenses." To revert to our paralel imaginative picture, the lawyer always is a prominent figure in the will case and the wicked guardian is not a stranger. These gentry are well trained in finding "administrative expenses" In the shape of fees and charges. A billion dollars is a big bill but the reader may be assured it Is not all for funeral expenses. The total of all these deductions reaches the impressive aggregate of $3,476,982,764. During this 1916-1922 period there were some estates which must have Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheuraatism Mr. .Tames H. Allen, of Rochester, . .

He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free rrom rheumatism until the accumulated Impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this Idea In mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banlsaed every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.

It is a bleak and rocky place whose climate is a rank disgrace; six months you freeze, six months you bake, and every rainbow is a fake. But thers I gamboled in the snow, when I was young, long, long ago; and there I fished in shady streams, In summertime, and dreamed my dreams, and there I had a bunch of friends who loved me, with no selfish ends. Now I infest a pleasant clime where spring is smiling all the time; my trees are bearing figs and cloves and I havj gaudy lemon groves; no sizzling heat deforms July, no winter gales go whooping by; the skies are nearly always blue, a standard ocean is in view, and all the heart of man could ask seems lavished on me where I bask. "God's country!" people say to me, when first this pleasant land they see. And I exult with them a while, and say "God's country," with a smile But in my dreams I still go back along a dim and winding track to that far region where the enow is on the ground six months or so, and where a , pleasant day's as rare as antlers oa a i polar bear. And having reached that r egion drear, in dreams I cry, "God's a ountrys here!" t len equal to the treasure of the C H )ufit of Monte Cristo.

When the performer removes his right band, th balls remain balanced, the left hand holdint the lower ball. Spectators are unable to duplicate the feat. The trick is done with the aid of a bit of wax or gum, which is secretly attached to one of the balls. It is then a comparatively simple matter to effect the balance. In removing the upper ball one of the right fingers can scrape away the wax as the balls are laid on the table. Too much wax should not be used. a tax of $93,106,148 was paid on them, an average of more than $4,000,000 each. The gross total of the 23 estate? was $566,637,695 more than hall a billion.
