TA1AT1ON-.-THE POOR CAN'T ESCAPE IT.


The observation made by Governor Kel-
iogg that combinations to resist the colIec-
ton of taxes favor the rich and Cypress
the poor. is very true. One who owes a
large amour. can employ counsel, and
subsist upon the property taxed. The
poor man owes tax of ten dollars. 1t is
advertised, often without his knowledge.
He fails to pay. The tax, increased by
interest, amounts TO fifteen dollars. 1t
has besides become judgment, an execu-
ton issues. and a keeper may be put in
the house Or the furniture sold. The
remedy recommended by the P;cayame
might be made available by the dis.
tinguished president of the two hundred
in case his splendid mansion was
offered for taxes. He might address
personally or by bulletin the assembled
crowd. and none of them might bid, but
IN the case of resistant who owed fifteen
dollars, the ''dealero in new and second
hand furniture" could not be thus put off.
He would buy the whole furniture in a
house at bargain and take his chances
of getting possession. 1t is then plain
that while he who owes five hundred dol
lars of taxes can afford 10 fight off the
tax-gatherer, the poor man that owes ff-
teen dollars can not test the legality of
the tax except by employing lawyer
whose Zee would exceed the tax. This
class Of tax debtors then can not escape
payment. They have no remedy in re-

Selecting Corn for Seed.

Your older readers will remember the
cold summer of 1916, when but very lit
tie corn got ripe in the New England
States. A year or two afterward my
father obtained very small kind of eight
rowed corn that was recommended as
sure to ripen. do not know what was
its proper name, but remember it was
called in this vicinity "tucked corn" Ac-
cording TO the best of my recollection
the ears would average about six inches
in length. 1t ripened early. Heseleeted
for seed the largest ears; and the result
was, the ears continually increased in
size and length, and from eight rows he
got ten rows, then twelve, then fourteen.
and at last there began to be few ears
with sixteen rows. But as il gained in
size it was later in ripening, and in fiji.
teen or twenty years we had another
short summer and abundance of "pig
corn" a-ss /.
The next spring was told that tav-
ern keeper at Haverhill, this State, raised
the season before small kind of Canada
corn that got thoroughly ripe before the
frost, and was advised to try it. I have
planted this corn ever since; that is,
some thirty-fve or forty years. have
taken care, however, to avoid my fathers
mistake, and have greatly increased the
size of the ears without materially length
ening the period of growth. For the
first few years 1 picked the earliest ears
for seed, taking them before cutting the
corn. But the growth, although larger
than at first, was too small, audit ripened
so early I concluded to profit by my
fathers experience, and obtained a larger
kind without making it much less.
ANY farmer, if he is keen observer,
will have noticed that the large and late
ears always have large cob, which is in
dictated by large stem when broken off
at husking. For the purpose of increas-
ing the size, / stopped picking my seed in
the field, and selected the largest ears that
had small stem. If found large ear
with small stem, and especially if the
stem was wilted and tough to break,
which indicated early maturing, saved
it for seed. In this way / soon perceived
an increase of size, and fearing that in es-
Gaping Scylla should run on Charybdis,
as my father did, l commenced picking
my seed in the field. But noticing that
my corn continued to ripen considerably
earlier than my neighbors', ventured to
try the experiment of making it still
larger. Consequently, for a few years
past, have selected seed at husking, and
saved for seed handsome ears, having ten
or twelve rows, with the indispensable
small stems. At first found but few
ears of this kind, but they have become
so numerous that this year l have saved
only twelve-rowed ears, and probably
shall not venture to go beyond this, al
though / find now and then an ear with
fourteen, and, this year, with sixteen
rows.
This shows what can be done by select
ing seed corn. / have no doubt but any
other grain can be Improved in the same
way.-Cor. The People.

We HAVE from Troy, N. Y, the story |

\ WE HAVE from Troy, N. Y, the story
of 8 remarkably bold case of abduction,
the heroine of which is young married
lady named Mrs. Williams While stand
ing in the public street, in the daytime,
she was approached by gentleman hold
ing pocket handkerchief in his hand who
asked her if she had dropped it, at the
same time thrusting it quickly into her
face. She became partially unconscious
in moment, when another man Joined
the first, and the two lifted her into a
close carriage standing near by, ard drove
quietly 'to the depot, where they got on
the train for New York. When near
Poughkeepsie, gentleman who sat near
the lady observed an occasional applica-
ton OF handkerchief to her face, and to
his inquiries as to the cause the reply was
made that she was being taken to the asy-
lum. The suspicious stranger kept such
a sharp eye on the abductors that they left
the cars at Poughkeepsie station. The
lady soon recovered, and told her story,
saying that she was all the while sufficient
ly conscious to know what was going on,
but unable to speak. Uponreaching New
York she at once telegraphed to her
friends in Troy, who came on and restored
her to her home.
