Of course the broad tire bill,
whi'ic was lst championed by
the late Senato~r S.Iauldin of
HAaumiton,. will tind a new chain
plon in the person perhaps of
some yo)ung~ sagte who would like
to winl famie upon01 tihe passage of
such a measure. but in as much
a.s the sa lne mleaIsure in different
b~ills has been becfore thle 'Va>y
continuously for the last three
sessIons, and upon the further
grounid that it is one theoretical
in its nature and a reform which
the people would take hold of
themselves if they wanted it. we
think that the bill this time will
am1ount to little, and that when
it comles up for passage it will gro
the wiay of its usual fate.
The re-districting bill, which
was so ably advocated by the
late Representative Patton, will
also probably amount to naught
this 5sssOns,. as pending~ legrisla
tion in. Congr'ess regrardjing the
re-apportionment of our repre

upon the recent census, would
seem to place an estoppe: upon

The Boatman's Tarn.
A boatman in the north of England

was very much annoyed at the manner

"I'll try him. any way." And the deter'

finally JIackson secured a seat in the

The Old Chutnut*.
It is said that a curtain Cleveland
lady whose handsome h: use is in an
ultrafashionable section of the city was
called east while her home was under
going the renovating and refurnishing
process. Ituring her absence a man
was especially ingaged to hang the pic
tures. Anwo tiihem were a number of
excellent coiGes ,.f the world's greatest
works of art. and the man, an artist,
found his task a lhor of love.
With great care he hung the more
valuable copies in the roomy reception
hall and had just finished his task
when the lady returned.
IHer eyes snaiped as she surveyed his
work.
"Who hung those old chestnuts
there?" she cried.
"Old masters. madam," said the star
tIed artist.
"Old chestnuts. I say; it's the same
thing. If you hung them, take them
down. I won't have them there. With
new furniture and new decorations and
new carpets and rugs I'll have new
pictures too. Who ever heard of such
old trumpery stuff in a strictly modern
house?"
"And what shall I do with the-the
old chestnuts. madam?" the artist In
quired.
"Oh, dump them into the attic until I
can get rid of them." replied the lady.
And there the "chestnuts" lie, Ma
donnas and cherubs and all, gathering
dust and calmly awaiting the getting
rid of process.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Renting Locomotives.
Hundreds of locomotives are rented
every year. Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwins have many machines out on
the rental form of payment-that is,
the engines are rented in the same way
that you would buy a stove on install
ments-so much down, so much a
month, the payments to apply on the
Anal purchase money. It is seldom,
however, that a railroad rents locomo
tives. They are usually let out to con
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from excava
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as a usual thing. are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other Incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains.-Philadelphia Record.
Golf Before a Mirror.
One of the chief teachings in the reli
gion of style is that to attain to ortho
doxy it is necessary or at least desira
ble to practice daily in front of a look
ing glass so as to make sure that all the
motions of the true style are being cor
rectly carried cut.

"hard saying" until I had consulted W.
G. Grace. .ohn Roberts, C. B. Fry, K.

1in. E . Bredin and other champions
of sport.
All the above were unanimous in at
triuting the high degree of skill to

a very, early stage of their careers to

The Oldlent Viniting Card.
The state ar-chives of V'enice are said
to possess tihe oldest visiting card of
which there is any record, of course
leaving aside the probable use of such
aticles for some thousands of years In
China. G iacomo Coiltarin I. iprofessor
at the University of Padua. sent the
card in question as a curiosity to a Ve
netian friend, saying that the German
students who came to Italy had the ele
gant and laudable customl of leaving
suchl little cards, with their name and
place of origin, at the houses of friends
when they enlled and found them ab
sent. The card refer'red to bears a coat
of arms with the motto, "Espoir me

' Hz~ Idea of an Alibi.
A talesman who was called in a mur
der trial in a certain state was asked
whether he had any prejudice against
an alibi plea on the part of a man ac
cused of crime. The talesman replied
that he had not.
"Do you fully understand what is
meant by the ter-m alibi?" he was
asked.
"I think I do; yes, sir."
"What do you undlerstand by it?"
The talesman reflected a moment and
then, 'with a hesitancy indicative of'
graveness, replied, "An alibi is when
the fellow who did it wasn't there."
"Tihe Blues."
The origin of the term "blues" has
been traced to the belief that persons
in indigo dyeing establishments are pe
uliarly subject to melancholy. An
>ther belief is that the expression is de
rived from the German blau, or lead.
R lead by its heaviness has always
been held to typify gloom and depres

The sneeze Wood Tree.
The re'markable sneeze w~oodl tree is a
native of Natal and other parts of
South Africa. It's funny name was
given to it because one cannot saw it
without sneezing violently.
The dust of its wood has just the
Same effect as the strongest snuff and
Is so irritatinig to the nose that work'
men are obliged to sneeze even when
they are planting it.
If a piece of the wood of this tree is
put in the mouth, it is found to have a
very bitter taste, and no doubt it is this
bitterness which prevents insects of
any kind from attacking the timber of
the "sneeze wood" tree.
The fact that insects find it so disa
greeable makes its wood very valuable
for work that is required to last a long
time.

Your Head Aches To-day.
It is a small matter; but it ached two days
ago, and again a week ago. You are acquiring
Sa habit of headache. That must be stopped. The
trouble is with your liver. You want a mild lax
Sative, and then a tonic to stimulate the appetite
and make the blood rich and pure.

Taxpayers return what they own on
the first day of January, 1901.
All real estate and personal property
must be returned this year.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer in
full, also make a separate return for
each party for the township the prop
erty is in. and where the taxpayers
owns realty, to insert the postoffice as
their place of residence, and those who
only own personal property, to give the
party's name who owns the land they
live on as their residence, which aids
the taxpayer as well as the County
Treasurer in making the collections
and preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the ages
of twenty-one and sixty years on the
first day of January, 1901, except those
incapable of earning a support from
being maimed, or from other causes,
shali bc :"emed taxable polls. This
does not apply to Confederate soldiers
over fifty years of age.
All the returns that are made after,
the twentieth day of February will have
a penalty of 50 per cent. added ther eto
unless out of the county during the
time of listing. Not knowing the time
of listing is no excuse.
The assessing and collecting of taxes
is all done now in the same year, and
we have to aggregate the number and
value of all the horses, cattle, mules,
etc.. and their value that there is in
the county. and have same on file in the
Comptroller General's office by the
thirtieth day of June each year. And
from that time to the first day of Octo
ber each year the Auditor and Treas
urer's duplicate has to be completed
and an abstract of the work in the
Comptroller's office by that time, which
will show at a glance that the Auditor
has no time to take in returns or do
anything else much, between the first
day of March and the first day of Octo
ber each year but work on thee books
and blanks. Therefore I hope that all
taxpayers will do me the favor of mak
ing their returns in time.
