PRINCES TO PAY TAX
Germany Has Overturned Prece
dents to Maintain Army.
Rulers of the Different States Hesi
tate Between Patriotism and Thrift,
* but Will Have to Make a Show
of Generous Giving.
Berlin. —Two and twenty sovereign
German princes are hesitating be
tween the rival virtues of patriotism
and thrift. They cannot decide
; whether it is sweeter to pay the new
war tax, or to put their savings into
some brewery stocks. The trouble is
that this is the first time the twenty
two kings, grand dukes, dukes and
princes have ever been asked to pay
a pretty stiff tax on their accumula
tions.
Now, in a fit of patriotism begotten
of the 1813 centennary, Wilhelm 11.
has forsworn his resistance; he is
ready to be taxed and the other one
■and twenty sovereigns have had to
follow him. All that is known now is
that there will be a “non-recurring
contribution’’ from the capital of real
■ and personal property; and that it
■will probably amount to one per cent.
■ This the sovereigns must pay. There
■may also be a new imperial income
■tax, and this the sovereigns may have
■to pay also.

Blind Indian Lives Alone
Eschnumkein Paul, Aged Brave of
Calispel Tribe, Leads Life of
Seclusion.
Spokane, Wash.—Totally blind and
living entirely alone, two miles from
his nearest neighbor, building fires
and cooking his own meals, even to
making bread, is Eschnumkein Paul,
an aged Indian of the Calispel tribe,
according to the story brought here
by Father Louis Taelman, president
of Gonzaga university.
Father Taelman. who a few years
ago tvas a missionary to the Calispel
Indians, still is their spiritual adviser,
and makes frequent trips to their
tented village on the Pend Oreine
river, some 60 miles northeast of Spo
kane. But the old, blind tribesman
lives apart from his people, a life of
the utmost seclusion.
“I was amazed at the case of old
blind Eschnumkein Paul,” states Fath
er Taelman. “I investigated his con
dition. He is stone blind and yet he
lives entirely alone, two miles from

IRWINTON, WILKINSON COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1913.
Wilhelm, it seems, feels this most. He
has the biggest Income, but he is only
the fifth richest person in Prussia.
Richer than him are Frau Bertha
Krupp, who possesses $71,000,000;
Prince Henvkel von Donnersmarck,
who has $63,000,000; Baron von Gold
schmidt-Rothschild of Frankfurt with
$40,000,000, and the Duke of Ujest
with $37,000,000. After these comes
Kaiser Wilhelm with a miserable $35,-
000,000. Kaiser Wilhelm’s forests and
fields are valued at $17,500,000; his
forty palaces, country houses, castles
and shooting boxes at $10,000,000, and
his land sites in Berlin at $4,500,000.
That accounts for $32,000,000 out of
the $35,000,000. Wilhelm 11. also has
land in Westphalia and the Rhine
province of unknown value.
No other sovereign or prince will
pay anything like Kaiser Wilhelm.
The crown prince Is worth $3,700,000.
Kaiser Wilhelm’s brother, Henry, has
estates which are worth $2,000,000.
Altogether, the kaiser and these rela
tives are worth $51,500,000. The ut
most they will pay in tax is $530,000.
“Is it worth while,” ask the hard-up
sovereigns, “for the sake of these
beggarly sums, to rob us of our privi
leges and treat us as if we were ordi
nary men?” They ask themselves
that in decent secrecy.
RATIONS FOR 7 sl.Ol A DAY
Chicago Charities Start a Campaign
to Show Wives How to
Buy.
Chicago.—Menus have been prepar
ed by the visiting housekeepers of the
United Charities showing how families
of seven can obtain a day’s rations for
sl.Ol.
Commenting on the situation, the
finance committee of the organization
has issued the following statement:
“Here is a situation of which every
man and w r oman in Chicago should
take cognizance. One In every seven
of the population has come in some
way to the attention of social service
agencies in one year. Only one in
every 300 give support to the United
Charties, yet that organization be«
friended one in every seven persons in
the city in 1912.
“The United Charities can continue
work on its present basis only two
weeks longer, unless funds are forth
coming immediately. Contributions of
any size are welcomed. If one in every
seven persons of the entire population
is in need, then no organization needs
adequate support in order to reach
them more than the United Charities.
Its facilities in the way of trained
visitors to serve the distressed need
to be augmented at this acute time,
not reduced.”
The visiting housekeepers of the so
city have been initiating housewives
in straitened circumstances into the
science of judicious buying. Accounts
kept by tenement housewives —even
those with reputations for economy—
often show bad buying. Three mis
takes common to the injudicious house
wife have been found to be: First, the
loss through buying in small quanti
ties; second, the extravagant price
paid for package goods, and third, the
loss through buying from custom
rather than for food values.
PATROLS BEAT BRIDAL NIGHT
Wife of New York Policeman Not
Even Permitted to Speak
to Husband.
New York. —From midnight until S
o’clock in the morning, a bride sat
shivering on the steps of Grant’s tomb,
in speaking distance of her husband,
but forbidden to exchange even the
tenderest bits of honeymoon conver
sation.
She was the wife of Lewis Baumann,
a patrolman on a fixed post, to whom
she was married at 9 o’clock. Bau
mann had expected to be relieved from
duty, but an unromantic police cap
tain ordered him to his post as usual.
So his bride decided to keep the watch
with him. The pair left arm in arm
in the morning.
the nearest neighbor. The wonder
ful part of his story is that he travels
at will, always going directly to the
place at which he desires to visit. He
never gets confused in roads by tak
ing the wrong one. •
“He lives in a small cabin through
out the year without assistance. He
builds all his own fires and prepares
his meals. He can cut his meat or
make bread as good as most persons
who have the use of their eyes.
“The only way in which I can ac
count for his strange case is that the
wonderful instinct, which every In
dian has. has become so acute in him
during the 40 years of his blindness
that it has taken the place of his
eyes.
"Among the Callspels there is a
great deal of blindness and bad eyes,
due to the smoke from their tepee
fires. It has proved a great detriment
to their more rapid advance in civili
zation. The old head chief, Masalah,
is blind.”
