YES, SHE DID KNOW.
And Proved It ta Her CrHiesI Old Singing IMa*tar.
Many years ago. In an old French church in Berne, a great choir ander the famous okl leader. Katber Reichel. was having its final rehearsal for tbe production of the "Messiah." The chorus bad triumpbuntly snng through to the place *bere tbe soprano solo takes op tbe refrain, "I Know That My Uedeemw LIveth." Tbe singer was a beautiful woman, whose voice had been faultlessly trained. As tbe tones came out high arid clear tbe listeners were fiiied .vltb wonder at her per feet technique. Her breathing was faultless, her note placing perfect, her enunciatioo t)eyond criticism.
After the flnni note there was a pause, and all eyes were turned toward tbe old conductor to catch bis look of approval. <ire«t was the surprise, however, when a sharp rap of the baton was heard, as a command for the orchestra to pause, and with a looli of sorrow Father Reichel said to the singer. "My daughter, you do not real¬ ly know" that yonr Redeemer llveth. do you ?"
With a flushed face she replied. "Why. yes. I think I do."
"Then sing It." he cried. "Sing it from your benrt Tell it to me so I nnd Hi! who hear you will know and know thiit you know the joy and pow¬ er of it." Then with on imperious gesture be motioned for the orchestra to go over It again.
ThI.s time the young woman Banp with no thought of herself or of tech¬ nique and applause from her hearers. She sang tbe truth that she knew in her heart and experienced in her life aud th.Mt she wished to send home to ttiu hearts of the listeners. As the last notes died a way tiiere was nn wonder at the crnftsmau's work, but there were qnickcm'd hearts tV.U had been moved by the giorloun mess;i;.'i' they had received. As the .singer stood forgetful of applause, the old master stepped up aud with tears In his eyes kissed her on the forehead and said. "You do know,-for you buve told me." —Exchange.

Washington.—The increase iu prohi bltlon territory and in tbe number of local option zones has caused a reduc¬ tion this year of !f2.000;i)00 in the fed ernl goverunient's Income from taxes on afcobolic beverages. Nine states are to adopt prohibition next year, aud of- flclal.s say that the situation soon may cause the federal govertinieut to re vamp its taxation laws and devise a new system of taxation to take the place of the (liiniulshlng returns from liquor sources.
The belief exists that the 30 i)er cent of the goveruinenfs income from the tax on alcoholic ll(juors will be reduced to 2't per cent iu the uext two years, due to tlie spread and tbe enforcement of prohibition and local option laws.
The problen], which Involves a radical change in the system of taxation.

.Vssistaiit Secretary of tlie Treasury Peters in discussing the situation said:
"Tile revenues from whisky and al¬ coholic beverages have shrunk consid¬ erably over $2.(K»0.000 a year, aud tliis unquestionably is due to the spread of

The last part of Mr. Teters' state¬ ment Is based on the fact that nine states from which the federal govern ment derives a total revenue of over $5.t>00,(K)0 on spirits r.ud liquors will be "dry"' uext year. These states and the amounls received from tbem liy the federal trea.sury are as follows:

WARDEN'S POLICr KINDNESS.
N«r<* Head of Atlanta Prison Outlaws Lash and Dungeon.
Atlanta, Oa.—Prison dungeons and cat-o'-nlne-U»lls tre.-itment will be out¬ lawed by the new warden of the fed¬ eral prison lipiv. Kred Zerlist. ex-dep¬ uty warden of tbe federal prison at Leavenworth. Kan., who took charge April 1. Mr. Zerbst .«aid tbat all of tbe federal prisons had abolished the old time correctlTc metbo<,ls and that ti.'; policy would be to win over the prison¬ ers through kind treatment. '
"The best w.ty to treat these men is to apiicai to their mnnbo<xl and sense of right." he declared. 'The whipping T»o»t and tire 'black hole" arc relics of tbe imst. The new plan <'alls for close confiiiement as the usual punishment for infraction of rules, and 1 feel sure this will accomplish more than any other methwl."
In his trip through the prison Mr. Zerbst kept his eye oiien for the "dun¬ geon" which .Tulian Hawthorne and other prisoners described, but he de¬ clared after his tirst tour that he had failed to locate It. Warden Moyer, whose position Mr. Zerbst takes, has maintnineil all .-ilong that there was ne such place, and he has challenged bis foes to find it.
