Just turn him out “fwf%g;»we wood-lot, Luke, and mind F 6 SARIOL U Vhe bara? s o ! - Poor old Rocket ra'sed his head at . the sound of his master’s well-known voice, and a gleam of affection came into his dim, brown c¢yes. But old Farmer Banks did not even glance toward the gaunt while horse, and Luke led the way to the lonesome wood-land which was henceforth to be the animal’s home. He muttered, too, as he went, “I Liope when I grow oid 1 won’t be so wean as to begrudge a creature a handful of oats afterhe’s worked himself out for me.” He stroked the horse’s nose with rough pity as he replaced the bars and returned to his work in the stable-yard. Day after day Focket would come down to the fence and wait for some one to take him home his chin resting on the upper rail and his eves turned fongingly toward the stable. DMeanwhile the days grew shorter, the scanty herbage scanter,and the nights colder. 1t was the 24th of December, and pitter cold. An .¢v wind whistled | through the leafless branches overbead, and the ground was covered with a rough coat of ice. | Poor old Rocket, hungry and shiv- | ~—"gring, leaning wearily against a tree trunk in the desolate wood, suddenly | pricked up his ears and started for- | ward with a joyful whinny. He had | heard the well-remembered, well- ' loved voice of his master, and pres- | ently he saw his master’s wagon on | she narrow road before him. } *Come on,” said Mr. Banks, im- | patiently, *‘don’t be all night!” | How was Rocket to know that he | was addressing the frisky young crea- i ture between the shafts? He thought | ‘the command was for him. So he ! . hobbled forward at his very best | - speed. Who can tell what tboughts{ = pmespnticimations wandered through | old Rocket’s dim brain as he ambied, after the vehicle! Perhaps he | thoughv his punishment for growing | old had con:e to an end, and now | once more he would enioy the com- | forts of a good stable and plenty of food. j Mr. Banks had cut down a young ce- | dar to be used as a Christmas tree for | his grandchildren. The bars leading | into the road had been let down, and the old nan drove through without . Btopping to put them in their place. So Rocket followed along the road,and | across the railway track, without beiny detected, for time had dimmed | his masters hearing. It was dark when they reacned the village store, and Rocket stood patienuy hehind the wagon, ncar some other hois.. while Mr. Banks made his purchas s and chatted with his cronies within. | Surely Ilocket must have thought the old times returned, as he waited and listened! The wind grew colder each moment. The young horse lefore the' wagon kicked, and stamped, and | shook his head with impatience, sO | that when Mr. Banks returned, with his arms full of packages, he could scarcely restrain the animal long enough to climb to his seat. Still without observing Rocket, he seized the reins. Off started the new horse at a great rate. The Christ- | mas tree bounded about in the back | of the wagon as though it would leap out each moment. Rocket trotted ; along bebind. In vain Farraer Banks tugged at the lines; the young ani- | mal had the bit between his teeth and was determined to go hiz own | pace. Although Liocket put his best “ foot foremost, they w re soon out of

R akresenLL. dieke iug ~ g well-Te-shout. ’%fi%fifi hedid not he 4, - but the shout came from his cid master. Rocket hobbled on as rapidly as his stiff legs would let him. When he came upon a wheel lying by the roaaside, he stopped .for an instant to sniff at it. Directly across the railway track lay the remainder of the wagon, the Chrisvmas tree and packages. lln their midst lay Mr. Banks motionless and unconscious. The young horse, w.ththe shaftsdangling noisily av his | heels, was just disappear.ng around | the bend. | Old Rocket paused, and loo” ed un- | easily at his master, then pushed him gently with his nose. This was the | very spot where, in lygone days, he | was in the habit of cracking his whip and tightening the reins, so Rtocket, knew that here his master must not lie. For more than ten minutes the horse eyed his muster wistfully, now | and then nibbling at the fur cap cov- | ering his head, but to no purpose. | Presently a low, humming sound j reached his ears. Raising his head, { Rocket saw approzching that great ' one-eyed monster which always | brought terror to his breast. i On it came, its red eye gleaming ;

SBTL AN sot I TGRS ok OB B ’ [aavagel,y down on nim and the man 'at his feet! Rocket waited for the word to be given to hasten on, bub I his master’s lips were dumb and his eyes closed, and the iron creature drew nearer and nearer. It was so close now that the glare from its eye fell red on the frozen ground before him. Then suddenly the flying clouds parted and let out a brilliant gleam of moonlight, which disciosed to view the great, white form of Rocket, his unclipped mane I and tail streaming in the wind like | ragged flags. \ | From the iron horse came a shriek of dismay, which the other answered 'by a neigh ot deflance. There was a noisy rattle of brake, one or two more screarms, then the mounster re- ‘ treated and paused, while several 1 men, carrying lanterns, came hurry- | ing along the rails. They tcok little notice of Rocket, but bus:ed themselves with removing the wagon, tree, and packages. They shouted to the old man, and ' rubbed his wrists and temples with ice, until at last he raised his head and spoke. ‘I couldn’t stop the pesky creature after the linch-pin \dmpped out,” he grumbled stagger- -, ing to his feet. ‘¢Hello!” he ex- . claimed, as the greav, unwinking red i eye caught his sight, “‘that was a ; close shave. How did you come to | stop?” | ‘lt was your vhite horse thab‘ ' stopped us,” replied the engineer. | ““He was standing over you. His' ' mane looked like a flag of distress in | . the moonlight.” . 3 | “*White?” repeated Mr. Banks, *1 | , thought he was brown, but my head’s L coniused by the thump I gave it. . Well, brown or white,” he added, *if - you will help me on his back I'll get ' home some how. Dll send back for | the wagon and things.” { | - ‘%See here, Farmer,” said one of | ' the men earnestly, as he assisted Mr. | i Banks to mount Rocket, ‘‘your horse ] . is nothing but a wrack of bones. | Now remember he’s saved your life ‘ to-night, and if you don’t give him a | | good feed for once, you deserve to hLe | | killed next time.” f | *0ld? a wrack of bones?” growled | ' Mr. Banks. ¢‘He’s just turning four ! | years, and as fat as butter.” ; | “You're dreaming,” replied the | other. ‘‘He don’tlook as it he wouid i | live to take you home.” ‘ | £2¢l suppose 1 ought to laugh at ' your jokes,” snapped Mr. Banks: - “but ’'m too sore. (Givemethe reins and let me go. I can’t see well yet. ' My head’s so dizzy.” | “This is queer,” said the man. 3 “He’s got no kind of a harness on, ' nothing but a bit of old rope about ' his neck. I can’t make it out.” | ‘“Neither can L” growled Mr. ! fßanks. ‘andas I am not up to try- | ing I'll just thank you to give me i | the rope.” i . So they put the rope into the old | | man's half benumbed hand, and | . Rocket, feeling the well remembered , - touch, turned his face homeward and l ~wgved slowly on with his burden. 1t was not a long distance, but it | - was quite as much as the starving | creature could accomplish. As they | came in sight, of the house a great ! hub-bub arose, and out of the gate | came flocking every man, woman, and ~child belonging to Mr. Banks' family, | ~down to his wee, toddling great | grandehild, all crying as they sur- | rounded the old white horse, ‘‘;rand- ! papais safe! He is not hurt after | all? | “*tAnd it is old Rocket that was | turned out to die brought you home!” | exclaimed Luke, the stable boy, in | am izement, as he helved the old man ! from his uncomfortable seat. *‘The other horse came back hulf an hour ! cco with the broken shafts beh nd him. : 2 Mr. Baels. o i Rocket to all the 1(1wnl!“!“"’g vfrox.u i him, st'll entirely unable to églßoub ! hend how this thing had happened. i .

He served me well, in his time, and i I rewarded him by turning bim out | to die in s old age. And see, he l has saved my life somehow!

e g e e e T PLEA FOR INCOME TAX | MR. M'MILLIN, OF TENNESSEE, | IN ITS FAVOR. i Bays the Rich Should Pay More Taxes- . Measure s Opposed by the Republican | Minority—lnsurgents at Rio Taught al Valuzble Lesson. B Debate in the House. ;i The debate on the internal revenue | bill, including the provision for the in- | come tax, began in the House Monday. | Mr. McMillin (Dem., Tenn.). Chairman of the sub-committee of Ways and! Means on Internal Revenue, began his | argument. Said he: D If a man owns £50.000,000 or $100,000,000 worth of property in the United States, as some do, he pays only on what he eats, what he drinks, what he wears and flmf other things he uses. The time has come when this should be changed. I ask of any reasonable person whether it is unjust to expect that a small per cent of this enormous revenue shall be placed upon the accumulated wealth of the country instead of placing all upon the consumption of the country. Is it not time that the great es~ tates, which' are protected by our BFMY)w which are defended by our navy,: which are tenefited by the various opers tions of our Government, should contribut’ in some greater degree %o carry on the government through which alone they cou have beeu accumulated, or by which thel are to be protected? The people_.of th United Stavesdo not ask that all of it sia! be placed on accumulated wealth., Buty they do insist that it is not unreasonable j Or unjust to require that a very small pra { portion shall be. And yet when it is pro-’ i posed to shift this burden from those who j cannot bear it to those who can; to divided { it between consumption and wealth; { shift it from the laborer who has nothing but his power to toil and sweat to the mage who has a fortune, made or inherited, Wil hear a hue and cry raised by some indivig 2 { vals that it is unjust and inquisitorial ! its nature and should not be adopted. & | Then we insist, Mr. Chairman, that it 9 I not unreasonable or unjust that a smal ! part of this money should be collected { from this accumulation. I know of no ar- | gument that is at all conclusive or rational i that can be urged against this form of taxi avion. I believe that once it is inaugu- { rated 1t will not cease to be a sowrce from , ! which to draw some of the vast revenue | that we need. Mr. Chairman, it bas bee { the effort of the Ways and Means Commigi tee to so construct the bill as to leave it, { as far as possible, free from ecriticism. { Unlike the old law, it does not require a | schedule from every citizen. Oaly those | | who have 4,000 income have to make 4 ; return. There is nothing in this againsty } which any just man can complain; there ! 1s nothing to arcuse fear that any ill can i come from it. It is no tax on bread. It | is no embargo placed upon prosperity. It ‘ is no effort to prevent prosyerity. It is no| death-blow aimed at commerce. But it an effort to in some way require each citizen 1o contribute to the government in Pproportion to what he has. l Other Arguments Pro and Con, =« Mr. McMillin was foliowed by Represent- | ative Ray (Rep. N. Y.), who opened the l debate for the Republicans in opposition Ito the income tax. He attributed the Lusiness depression to threatened tari ! changes and contrasted a Demoeratic rol E icy on an income tax during the war ant ( aut present. | Mr. Tarsney (Dem., Mo.), member of th { Waye and Meuans Committee, followe { The income tax was first resorted to in { dark days of the civil war.

IN A RR R G SSe TR B A SRR SR S R R it e b el R R S SECRETARY CARLISLE SAYS THEY WILL BE LEGAL. Foreigners in the Pennsyivania Mines Attack Their English-Speaking Fel'ows— Drive Them from Work and Destroy Much Valuable Property. Makes Public Statement. John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, has made public the following statement: | It has been erroneously published in some newspapsrs that the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives had agreed to and reported a resolution denyving the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury | to issue and sell bonds, as proposed in his re- ! cent circulsr, and these publicatious have evidently made an unfavorable impression upon the minds of some who contemplated making l bids for these securities. The only resolution | in relation to this subject that has been before l the committee is as follows: . i “Resolved, That it is the sense of the House | of Representatives that the Seoretary of the | Trgasury has no authority nnder existinglaw | to issue and sell bonds of the United States, ‘ except such as is conferred upon him by the l act approved Jan. 14, 1875, entitled, ‘An act to | pfovide for the resumption of specie payments,” | and that the money derived frem the sale of bonds issued under that act cannot be iawfully applied to any purpose except those specified ‘ th&relp."’

It will be seen that this resolution assumed that the authority to issue bonds was gz;‘i_ ferred upon the Secrctary of the Treasury by the act of Jan. 14, 1575, and that such authority still exists; but it asserts that the proceeds of the bonds can not be lawiully used except for the purpose of resmmptior. The officixd telegraphic report of the proceedings in the committee when the Secretary appeared be- ! fore it last TLuraday shows that his authority to issue bonds was not questioned by any member, the only quesrion being whether he could use the proceeds so any other purpose than the redemption of Uniied States notes. Mr. Bailey, the author of the resclution, distinctly admitted the existence of the authority. Addressing the Secietary Mr. Bailey said: “The resoiuzion docs not impeach your right to issue bonds: it expressly recognizes | it, but questiors ycar right to apply the pro- ‘ ceeds to any purpose except those specified in | the act.” The Judiciary Committee of the | House examined and reported upon this same I question during thel,lid Concress, and it then | conceded that the avthority (xisted under the | act of 18.5. The question as to the authority | of the Secretary of tle Treasury to use the | money in any particular manner or for any | particular purj oze is wholly distinct from the | qusstion as to his authority to issue and sell | bonds. No matter what he may do with the | money the validity of the honds will not be | affected and there is. therefore, no reason why ‘ any one should Lesitate to invest iu tho:=e se- | curities on the ground thatthe proceeds might | possibly be used for othir than redempticn | purpcsos. i e { ANGRY MINERS RIOT. i One ¢f Them Fatally Wounded and Sev- f eral Are Badly Hurt. i A wave of anarchy in whose train | fo'lowed blcodshed, =2rson, and the | i destruction of property pa s2d cver the | Mansfield, Fa.. coal region the cther | day.
