The Col lector's books are now closed for the purpose of making out the delinquent list There has been great deal of tardIness in the payment of taxes this year, and the delinquent list promises to be very long one. Scarcity of money and a general depression of business seems to be the cause of it.

Why Western Smart-Aleck Denounces
the Laws OF Supply and Demand.
IChIcago ueraidl

They'll never get me into any Of their
tarnation specuiations again, !. asid long
haired, pig smelling passenger from Iowa.
"I've been reading heap m the papers of
late about the big money made in pork
and grain bought or Sold en- margins, and
I've been " ing low for an opportunity to
jump in and make a pile Of money. I'm
one o. these men who believe in studyin'
things all out, an never goin' into any
new specialization TIL you've looked at it
from every side and sized it all up. Well,
felt just that way about this margin
trading, believe they call il. made ND
my mind to watch things pretty close, am
as soon as l could see a dsad sure thing
jump in.
About week ago was at work out in
my east ten-acre lot when Jim Brown
came along and says:
Hello, Smith; how's yer folks:'
"'Oh, purity well,' says 1; 'how's
your'n?'
"An wel,' SAYS he; but did you hear
of the bad luck Squire Cole had?'
"'No; is his wife deadr
"'Worse'n that He has has had 800
hogs down with the cholery, an bout half
Of 'em will die
rs that SOP says 1, an as Jim druv
away / fell TO thinkin' things over.
Three hundred of Squire Coles hogs
down with the cholery,' says I to myself,
am half of 'em going to die. That1l
surely bring pork up a-whoopin' in Chi
cago as soon as these speckerlators hear of
it. Every thing must go by the law of
of supply and demand, an this will affect
the supply. Here's my chance.'
$50 knocked Off work right there, went
over to town and told the broker what's
opened an Office there to buy as much pork
for me as 500 would take in, and went
over to the bank and drew out the money
an gave il 10 him. Then / went home,
kinder feelin' that 1 had made a good
trade"
ibid pork go up whoopin'."
"Naw, she went down n fuking-so quick
that ysbroker hadn't time to sell, and he
says I've lost my $500 and owe him 81 ,S13ss
besides, and he threatens to sue me for it
If l don't whack up. Them Chicago
speckerlators are nothin' but @ lot of
gamblers. The laws OF supply and demand
don't have any effect on them, and they'll
never catch me in any Of the ungodly
schemes again.
