resume the game. but the umpire gave
a decision so decidedly rank that the
Hyde Park club thought they were I'M
fairly treated, and no further PLAYING

shows good care as well as feed. Mr..
Strong believes that the best results are
obtainable by giving cattle the best of
shelter. To that end he has recently re-
built his barn, putting in dozen stalls
of modern style; all so constructed that
the cattle are not only kept clean, but
are about as comfortable as when roam
ing about the pasture. The barn through
out is well ceiled, nicely lighted, and
thoroughly ventilated. Besides the ac-
commodations for his cattle, he has
number of commodioqs box stalls Tor
his horses and colts. Farmers who are
interested in good barns and nice stock,
should look over Mr.. Strong's barn and
stock.

Moves many friends, including his
sisters, cousins and his aunts," in this
county -
Barb Noyes and J. A. Noyes are liable to
get their financial snarl Strengthened out at
last and to come to a satisfactory settlement
Liquor agent Howe recently dunned j. A for
rum bill, which, he said, was delivered to his
hired girl for the benefit of his sick wife,
Noyes tried to explain that his wife hadn't
been sick. But that didn't make any differ
ence to Howe, who knew the rum was de-
livered for the benefit of Mrs. E. j. Noyes,
which was his wife's name. SO there couldn
be any mistake about it, and he concluded to
let the account stand till j. A. got sober
enough to remember sending his hired girl
after the goode. When the listers were max
ing up the grand list they found 81, 900 in the
savings bank in the name of Mrs. h. j Noyes.
This was $500 in excess of money in savings
banks exempt from taxation, and they added
the money to the list of Barb Noyes, under
the head of land wife, whose name Is also
Mrs E. j. Noyes. The listers followed the
books of the bank and charged the $500 to
| the person who answered to the name. when
| the collector came around Barb paid the tax
| like a man. He thought he was assessed 50
| or SO too high, but rather than fight the
authorities he paid up and swallowed his DIS
tress J. A. was surprised to find his tax W
| or SO less than he expected. But being
peaceably inclined, he paid his tax and swat
| lowed his surprise in silence. Meantime,
| Barb continued to cypher on the % extra
| tax and finally discovered that it came from
| n 50 900 deposit in the savings bank. Then
| he traced out that he and j. A. married the
same woman, women of the same name,
| that the other Mrs Noyes owned the deposit,
and that he Barb had paid the tax on 1t;
Then he kicked. He went to J. A, explained
the circumstances and, in tones which meant
business, demanded the 50. But j. A: was
not terrified. Said he, "When you pay Howe
| that rum bill, which is charged to my wife, ]
will fork over that tax" He had him. Barb
| paid for his rum and got his tax back.
