Now, this man had never worked in
all his life. His father was q rich
man, and had, for years, given
him plenty of money 10 spend.
But he got into bad company, partly
because he always had plenty Of money
in bis pocket, and when he fell into bad
company his father refused to give him
any money, aud then turned him out Of
his house. And he had learned 10 think
it easier to steal than TO work; and one
night he, with several other men, robbed
a safe; and that was the way he got
into prison.
He suffered dreadfully when he was
shut up and made to work hard, and
never allowed to walk out except in the
dreary prison-yard. He tried very
hard 10 escape, but ne and all the other
prisoners were too closely watched for
that; and SO. after awhile be gave up

the Commissioners shall draw their war
rant on the treasurer of the county for
the amount SO certified, to be plit out
70 the funds arising from the tax on
dogs" Other provision Of the law are
not material to be stated W. think
some such law would be an improvement
on the state law as it is laid down in the
Code of '7S.
The tax on dogs would diminish the
number of dogs. in the first place, and
thereby lessen the chances of sheep kill
ing, while the provisions for payment to
shose whose sheep have been killcl by
dogs is a good enactment for the distrib-
utstion of the dog-tax fund thus afford
ing a certain remuneration in most eases
TO those who have suffered.
There are numbers of people in our
community who have no business with
dogs any how, certainly with not more
shan one, and it woald be kindness to
compel them to do away with these extra
mouths. A dog may be very compau
icnable sort of a thing, and sometimes
very useful, but if Ire be really valuable
there is no reason why he should not be
taxed as property as well as a COW or a
horse. The objection might be raised
As heretofore that all dogs are not worth
the same amouns aud therefore it is ini
quitous to tax all dogs as though they
we're equal in value As, however. the
intrinsic value of dog can hardly be
determined, even by Its owner. and vet
one may certainly have property in dogs,
10 seems fai- and proper tina the state
should M TAX certain upon dogs. At.
all events ID Is worth trying in this coun-
~ again and we think it would be well
70 have the question of taxing dogs run
