downtown jeweler. At last, his notes and

As the little male flirt arose and confronted
the large man, he trembled and turned

billetdoux. I-I-yes-I did" stammered
the culprit, trembling in every limb He
saw the weapon, and he thought his time
had come. ''Well, WELL" said the broad
shouldered, big-hearted actor, reaching over
the counter and patting the poor, frightened
fellow gently on the head, ''look here, bub-
by, you must not do so any more" And
he left poor H to the tender mercies OF
his fellow clerks.

An Appeal to the General Assem-

Tennessee.
Let Justice be Done Though the

To the Honorable Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes OF the General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee:
Under existing laws the merchants of
Tennessee are made to pay more than one
hundred per cent. higher rates of taxation
than other classes. They respectfully beg
your honorable body to remedy this mon
strous outrage by so amending the revenue
laws as to place them simply upon the same
footing with other respectable classes of our
population. They think you cannot deny
them this reasonable request. For early
and substantial relief your petitioners viii
earnestly but respectfully pray.
