ATHENS TAXES.
A Lively KICK Over a New Ordinance
-

A Lively KICK Over a New Ordinance
of the Council.
ATHENS, Ca, March 1s-The specific tax
ordinance which was passed by the council
yesterday was somewhat unexpected to q
large number of merchants here, who claim
that the burden is not equally divided and
are therefore not hilarious in their indorse-
ment Of the measure. Very little interest
was manifested in the proposed ordinance
until final action was taken by the council
yesterday. To-day it has been the sole topic
of conversation, aud as it strikes the pocket
book, it is reasonable to suppose that the
discussion will continue animated for quite
while. There are a few items in
the ordinance which will pos
sibly be changed. The others, it
seems, will stand as they are and the kick
ing will go on with renewed vigor. The
annual income of the city is about 500. 900.
and it is claimed that this is not sufficient
for the expenses, which are increasing as
the city grows. The council has adopted
the special tax ordinance instead of increas-
ing taxes on real estate. and it is thought 1t
will prove satisfactory in the long run.

County Commissioner Ballard Of San

curious gold coin which fcll into his
hands in California in 1919. 1t is
Mormon tive-dollar piece. and for many
years has been employed as a charm or
bangle on Mr. Ballards S fob chain. The
owner himself was a 49er, and took
part in the early gold excitement in
California. He told a New York Re
corder man that the Mormous, who

quantities Of the precious yellow dust.
Much gold also found its way 10 Utah
through other avenues. Brigham Young
who was at that time running a little
government on his own account, cStah-
lishcd a mint and coined probably one
million dollars in five-dollar gold pieces
These coins very soon found their way
TO California and passed current. 1T
that early date, Mr.. Ballard SAYS. the
coins were welcomed as great
convenience in matters of exchange
The metal in the coins was unalloved-
so soft and pure, in fact. that it wore
away very rapidly on this account
they soon disappeared from circulation
almost as rapidly as they had appeared.
On one side Of Mr.. BaIard's relic are
two clasped hands, probably symbolic
of brotherly love. while around the
margin are the letters, 20. :. L. c. T.

The Emperor's Gift.

When the emperor of Germany was
lieutenant in the First regiment of the
Foot Guards at Potsdam, in 1877, he
became well acquainted with Herr
Stuwe. He accidentally broke one day
a beer mug much priced by Stuwe, and
promised to give him another. But mill
tary and other duties put the matter out
of his mind. While talking a short time
ago TO Colonel ven Kessel, the name
of Stuwe was mentioned. The whole
affair of the broken beer mug came
back TO his majesty's recollection, and
he immediately ordered a magnificent
beer glass, with a rich silver lid. bear
ing the imperial arms, and inscribed:
TO Herr Stuwe, from his friend and
comrade Lieutenant Wilhelm" Herr
Stuwe now holds government post at

FRAMEWORK FOR A ROMANCE.
\ Strange Story Of the Woman Hermit on
the Other side of the Potomac.

\ Strange story Of the Woman Hermit
the other side of the Potomac.
ON a lonely hit of pine-fringed road
just across the Potomac and not far
from the city there stands rude apol-
ogy for a house, "A mere frame lcan-to
that at first seems deserted. says the
Washington Star. Closer invcstiga-
ton. however. i always challenged 10y
a gaunt pack of half a dozen dogs, and
this usually brings out their owner, a
woman looking scarcely less wild. who
eyes all visitors, especially men, with
Sullen distrust. On heI story hangs the
tale. one of those sorry tales Of every
day life. that carries duh ache with ii
and makes rs wonder that some people
should still care to live.
1t seems that years ago this victim Of
circumstances was living happily that
i To say. at least like the rest Of the
world. perhaps even little better, and
envied by. maybe. those less fortunate.
In a quarrel with which She had moth
ing to do her husband killed a man.
Unfortunately She was a witness Of the
deed and. whatever may have been her
personal feelings in the matter. she re-
fused to shield the principal and it was
on her evidence that her husband went
to the states prison
The man vowed vengeance on her and
all others who had a hand in his con-
viction and swore to kill her on sight
after his release. As the years passed
on the fear of his threat grew upon her
and she moved from place To place in
hopes of throwing him off the trail.
Finally the thought haunted her To the
extent OF driving her from society, and
as the time for the expiration Of his SEN
tence drew near she took to the woods
and now lives in her lonely cabin with a
few chickens and a pack of vicious dogs
for pets and companions.
She goes armed, it is said, and if the
would-bc murderer should succeed in
tracking her down there is serious
question whether he would be the vic
tor or the victim. Her present name is
of course assumed and people living
within mile of her for the last year or
more have not yet learned her real one.
She is a good enough neighbor, but
neither lends nor borrows and does not
cultivate acquaintance.
The negroes, of course, fear her as a
voudOo on account of her strange mode
of life, and strange tales are told by
them of 'pcarances'' that haunt the
lonely clearing. None of them. for love
, or money, will pass the place after dark,
and its name is a potent spell whereby
to control unruly picllaninnies.
80 she lives, hiding from the fate
which viii soon Toe seeking her. but if
it takes her unaware it will be more
than any other visitor in that region
has vet been able To do.
