Hard luck seems to pursue Nicholas

30 days today by Magistrate Trac.
Clad only In a shirt and a frown, Braun
was arrested this mornlne at ilth and
Race streets by Policeman Woolen, of the

an Irony of fate perhaps that caused the

and taken to the Winter street station.
His story was one common In the Ten

he found himself In tho street as stated.
How he pot there, no one knows. While
the search for his friends Is (join on

This Country In Long While.
TVljat probably will prove to be tho last
Samuel Mllllken, a local nuthorlty on
questions of taxation and a close nsso
elate of the late Joseph Kels. the single
tax ndvocatc, Is seeking financial assist
ance to enable him to begin suit to com
pel tho Board of Revision of Taxes to ob
servo the law regarding taxation ot ma
chinery In this city.
According to an act passed by the Leg
islature In 1911, the cities of Pittsburgh
and Scranton (cities dt the second class)
secured exemption on the machinery tax;
they are the only places In Pennsylvania
whero machinery Is lawfully freo of taxa
tion.
It la understood that numerous other
localities will seek permission from the
General Assembly, when It convenes In
January, 1913, for like exemption, tt Is
pointed out that to students of economic
questions a lawful exemption of machin
ery throughout tho entire State would bo
of incalculable value to the Industries.
Mllllken's contention la that the exemp
tion would he advnntngcouB to the manu
facturers especially, but he Indicts the
manufacturers as being too selfish, lack
ing In public spirit and profoundly dif
ficult to nrouso to tho benefits to bo gen
erally attnlned.
The tax expert Is of tho opinion that "It
will be nlmost Impossible to rouse them
to secure lawfully that which they now
have unlawfully, and others do not have,
lawfully or unlawfully."
ln the event of his "taxpayers' suit"
being successful in forcing the observ
ance of the law taxing machinery, the
manufacturers would bo compelled either
to fight for tho repeal of tho obnlxlous
tax on machinery or suffer economically
by Its enforcement.
Once n :lght was made for tho repeal
of tho law It doubtless would be made to
apply to the entire State, Is the opinion
of Mr. Mllllkun. He Is further of tho
opinion that If tho General Assembly re
pealed tho machinery tax It would attract
widespread attention throughout the en
tlro country and do much to Introduce
saner and more ethical forms of taxation
In every Stnte In the t'nlon.
During tho Ilfo of Joseph Fels. Sir.
Mllllken was one of his closest advisers
and associates, nnd fought many arduous
campaigns with the "famous soapmnkcr"
to spread tho prlnclplo of the abolition of
all taxes on machinery, Imports, mort
gages, Improvements and every other tax
nble .and obtain the entire revenue of
local. Stato nnd National government
from the absorption of the "unearned in
crement through tho taxation of land
Values exclusively.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
The Story of a Grain of Sand
IV lr:
KWAGON load of sand was hauled
Hs- away from the beach.
"Oh. dear," cried a little eratn
of sand. "I' don't want to be hauled
away, I want to stay right there at the
Ibeach where I can see everything.
Please! I uon t want to be hauled
1 away!"
nut wno pays any attention 10 wuat

what they say even if they try to un

the sea.

and be complaining at the same time.
I hope you've never tried to do it!
He saw that the sand was shoveled
out of the car in which it had traveled
and put again into just such a wagon
as had carried it from the beach.
In this wagon it was hauled to a
great factory.
And there it was washed free from
all the dust and dirt that might be
in it.
"I believe I like to be washed so
nice and clean," said the grain of
sand, "but I can't see what will hap
pen next!"
He had not long to wait. As soon
as the sand was dry, buckets of it
were taken upstairs in,to the factory.
There it was used to cut glass with.
Down over the edge of the glass to
be cut and beveled, a fine stream of
this clean white sand was run. And
through the sand an emery wheel cut
its wav.
"This is quite as interesting as the
ocean." decided the grain of sand, for
he had time to watch the doings in the
utiury pciween wnues.
Then, one day the factory was shut
up and the sand lay idle.
"Oh dear, I wish I had something
to do!" sighed the grain of sand.
And at that verv same minute, two
little children cried, "Oh dear, I wjsh
we had something to dot"
"I'll get you something to do," said
their father. "I'll bring you some
sand from the factory and you can
play with that." And he did.
The sand liked that, too. "I'm so
thankful I was taken away from the
ocean, ne said. 1 11 never complain
aun, for thing that start bad,

I.K13 AttTIIUIt CAPTUIIED.
The ISdlson Company announces the
conclusion of negotiations with Lcc Ar
thur, the well-known 'playwright, by
which It shall have the exclusive use
of his works for the Edison pictures.
Mr. Arthur's first play, "Tho Gay Mr.
I.tghtfool," proved a tremendous success
upon the initial presentation In New York.
This was followed by the "Wo-Uns of
Tennessee," In which Charles Hanford
starred for two years, and "The Auction
eer," with David Warfleld. It was then
the bright stnr of genius began to Illu
minate the theatrical world, and Lee Ar
thur was chosen by Klaw & Rrlanger and
Mark Twain to make a dramatization of
"Huckleberry Klnn" nnd "Tom Sawyer."
Among other plays that originated from
the pen of Lee Arthur may bo mentioned
"Cohen's Luck," with Joe Welsh: "Break
ing Into Society," with tho four Mortons;
"Van Allen's Wife," with Tnnnle Ward,
and "Putting It Over," which was con
sidered by all critics to be the best base
ball play ever written. He has placed
this season "A Little Nugget," with Dan-
1
lei Frohman; "The Baby of the Family"
and "The Morning After," which the
Shuberts will produce nfter the holidays.
Mr. Arthur's first production for the
screen Is "The Last of the Hargroves."
DAINTY LOUISE HUFF.
Quite alone among the Lubln Players
stands Louise HufT. At the same time she
Is very much to them. Individual by rea
son of her type of loveliness, she Is popu
lar among her colleagues because of her
wlnsomeness. The littlest leading woman
Is Just 5 feet 1 inch of tender, wistful
charm nnd daintiness with, however, an
abundance of spirit and decision. She Is
a Georgia girl, who has, ln her short life
on tho screen, contributed some exquisite
portraits of youth. At the end of her
school days she spent n season on the
stage, then was choicn by Adolph Zukor
to play with Mary Plckford In "Caprice"
and one or two ether pieces, before she
quietly entered the gates of Lublnvllle,
two years ago.
The sobrl'iuet of "The Knte Green
away Girl of the Screen" was nnee be
stowed upon Miss Huff by an admirer, nnd
It has clung to her. Miss Huff lias ac
quired some first editions of Kate Green
away books, and has even modeled eoms
of her quaint little dresses, coats and bon
nets after the drawings of the English
artist ot the last generation.
