same to he taxable. The matter. of

AS is the practice with railroad cnmpa
nies. Tie Judge holds:
1.-The county auditor is authorized
to place upon the tax list any property

2. such portions ut the real proper
tV as lave been in actual use fer rail-

TIE WAY 1t Worked.

A man came into the Sun office Ola
Monday who was a sight to behold.
He was 3 total wreck from drunken
ness His clothes were torn, his nose
was red, and he looked like a picture
often seen in the galleries, represent
ing demoraliZed drunkard. He hand
ed dirty slip of paper to the editor, a
clipping from a newspaper, and said,
That's what it did to me" The edi-
tor read it, and it was as follows:
One gallon contains an average of
siXty-five drinks, and at ten cents a
drink, the poor man pays $3.50 per
gallon for his whisky. In other words,
he pays $500 for the whisky and 81. SO
to the man for handing it over the
bar. Make your wife your barkeeper
Lend her $500 to buy a gallon of
whisky for beginning, and every
time you want drink, go to her and
pay ten cents for it. By the time you
have drank a gallon she will have
so, or enough money to refund the
$500 borrowed of you, to pay for
another gallon of whisky and a bal
ance of 81. so. She will be bile to con
duct future operations on her own
capital, and when you become an me
briate, unable to support yourself,
Stunned and despised b. all respecta-
Die persons, your wife will be able to
keep you until you get ready to fill a
drunkard's grave.
81 read that IN your paper two years
ago., said the man in a husky voice,
and I have been trying it."
''Well, how did it WOrk?" asked the
editor.
Splendid" said the man, as he re-
placed the slip of pager in his pocket.
''ORly the old woman don't carry out
her part of the programme. She has
been running the bar, and has taken
IN all my money, and has laid it up,
and put 1t out at interest, and now
that | am busted and out Of health
she wants me to 60 west and grow up
with the country. She refuses to
support me, as tho paper said she
would, and [ am a wreck. What
would you doc"
The editor told him he was in no
worse fix than he would be if he had
spent the money at dozen different
saloons, and his wife was better off.
If he had spent the money the usual
way both would have gone to the
poor house, and now he could go alone
and feel that his wife was comfortably
fixed for life. The man went out
with a look on his face as though he
was thinking, and he was, for he has
decided to quit drinking and go to
work, and his wife has decided that
he can stay at home and enjoy the
savings. -Peck's Sun.

General Hancock's Romance.

was talking politics with 3 senator
from the west, this week, and, on
mentioning General Hancock's name,
he told me a story of the gallant gen
eral that is romantic enough to repeat
Soon after his graduation from West
Point. when but little past his ma
ioritv, he started for the west In com
pany with number Of army mcn, to
see the country. They stopped at ST..
Louis. and while there General Han
cock met his future " life. He was
taking one of mis- customary morning
rides on horseback in the most fash
ionable part of the city, when he
caught sight of a handsome young
lady standing at window. His heart
was touched at Once-and for the first
tine-and, without thought of thc
improperly of his action, involunta-
rily lie reined his charger and took off
his hat. The fair vision at the win
dow waved a shapely hand, blushed,
and drew the curtain. This only in
creased the young mans disease, and
when he returned to his hotel his alb
sent-mindedness and evident abstrac-
ton provoked comment on the part of
his friends. Try as he would, the
beautiful face at the window haunted
him still, and he yielded to an ire
sistlble impulse to return to the house
where his fate resided, in hope of get
ting another wave of the hand or a
smile of encouragement TO love-
young dream.
AS luck would have it, fortune
smiled on the young man, and the
lady was just leaving the house, &C
companied by tall and elderly gen
tlenaan, as he reached there. She re
cognized him at once, and rosy blush
es suffused her face as she entered
carriage in waiting and was driven
rapidly away. Young Hancock was
now more eager than ever, and hail
ing a passing cab, directed the driver
to follow the carriage containing the
beautiful unknown. Finally her car
riage stopped and she entered the
house of an old army friend Of the
ardent lover, who followed close after
and was admitted by the friend in
person. To him the smitten youth
unbosomed himself, and an introduc-
ton followed to Miss Mary Russell, a
daughter CT one Of st. Louis wealth
lest merchants. The young lady
seemed to have been struck by the
same dart that pierced her lovers
heart, and cordial invitation to call
was extended to him. need say no
more. The rest of the story is simply
the oft-told tale, for in six months
Miss Mary Russell became Mrs. Win
field Scott Hancock, and she is held
IN the warmest esteem by all those
who know her many charming and
womanly qualities. This is but one
Of the many romantic tales that one
hears here nearly every day, and
their recital is one of the pleasantest
features of Washington life-Corres-
pondence Boston Times.
