KELLY, Sept. 17.-True to my cog
nomen,.I have been rowing around

sessing talent in this line too well

according to your best judgment.
you will value your property at its

OF property or omission has been
made, or any method or device adopt
ed or practiced whereby to evade the
payment of taxes by you and that
you will true and perfect answers
make to such questions as may be
asked you concerning your taxable

possession or about to be listed by
you for them"
The Assessor shall report to the

two little flaps at the ends, as indicated by
the dotted lines, press 1t well down with a

There only remains to paste down, as a
lining to the cover. one leaf of the end-paprr
at each end of the book, and to put neat
label on the back. A light green paper for
the latter looks best on dark green back.
If label Is to be permanent it should be an
inch wider than the back of the book, so
that half an inch may be pasted down on
each side.
That magazines thus fastened together are
in any way equal to volumes regularly bound
do not for a moment wish to assert, unless
it is In the matter of opening; they open bet
ter because the binding Is not so tight. But
they are fairly durable, as much SO as cheap
cloth case, and, to my taste, look neat and
respectable; also, as the edges have not been
plOughed or cuItailed in any way, they are
uninjured, and can at any time be taken TO
pieces and regularly bound if desired.
