"MY DEAR SIR--From time to time
| have noticed in the columns Of your
esteemed journal an article relative
to the exemption from assessment of
certain property held in the name Of
the presbyterian Theological Sem

through, | am sure, some misappre-

lead its readers to believe that | am
responsible for said exemption.
personally it matters not to me
whether or net this property is eX-
empt from taxation, my action being
solely influenced by a desire to do
my duty impartialIy and justly as
County Clerk.
"Feeling that some explanation
was due in order that the people may
understand the situation and my po-
sition as it really is, | have caused
the matter to be thoroughly exam

Always willing and anxious tc

not be out of place.
TIis land is the property Of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
Of the Northwest, and is occupied by
the college building, homes for the
professors, and a number Of houses
rented to outside parties, the rents
OF which are, it is claimed, devoted
To the education Of the students.
The history OF the property, in its re-
lation TO taxation is as follows;
In the year 1880 the property was
marked by the then County Clerk ex-
empt, In 1881 it was also exempt, in
1882 an effort was made to compel
this property TO bear its share OF
taxes and an assessment OF 500, 700
was placed against il, which produced
tax Of 81 ,0j30l, and on July 10th,

row offered an amendment to the re.

voting should not be restricted to the
members of the association, and con
tended that a general bar of the
county should be privileged to cast
its ballots for the candidates. The
amendment did not meet with ap
proval and it was voted down.
Other attorneys spoke upon the re-
port claiming that the time for hold
ing the primary was fixed too early
because a large per cent. of the bar
would he out Of town on their vaCa

judges for the new offices would not

The people have grown tired of the
dictation of the bar in the matter of
primaries The voters, and not lot
of imported lawyers like L. ID. Tho
man, must decide who the judges
shall be. 1t will be noticed that the
same gang Of self-authorized stiffs are
always clamOring for bar primaries
The reason for this is that they stand
no show with the people. Things
will have come to a pretty pass when
an incorporated society will choose
Jurists instead OF conventions OF the

watch the bees and take the mules
to drink, and teach the turkeys how
to swim so that they would not sink;
and milk about a hundred cows and
bring in wood to burn, and stand
out in the sun all day and churn,
and churn, and churn; and wear
my brothers cast of clothes and
walk four miles to school, and get
a licking every day for breaking
some old rule; and then go home
again at night and do the chores
once more, and milk the cows and
feed the hogs and curry mules
galore; and then crawl YEARLY up
stairs to seek my little bed, and hear
dad say, THAT worthless boy--be

AN IDLE TALE.-Let one man
tell dog story, and every other
man in the room feels he wants to
tell bigger one. There is a story
going-I cannot vouch for its truth,
it was told me by a judge-of man
who lay dying. The pastor of the
parish, good and pious man, came
to sit with him, and, thinking to
cheer him up, told him an anecdote
about dog.
When the pastor had finished, the
sick man sat up, and said, Il know
better story than that. | had
dog once, big, brown, lopsided-.'
The effort had proved too much
for his strength. He fell back upon
the pillows, and the doctor, step
ping forward, saw that il was
question only of minutes. The
good old pastor rose, and took the
poor fellows hand in his, and press
ed We shall meet again. he
gently said.
The sick man turned towards
him with consoled and grateful
look.
'Pm glad to hear you say that,
he feebly murmured. Remind me
about that dog
Then he passed peacefully away,
with sweet smile upon his pale
lips.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the great novel
ist is slowly growing weaker in his home
in Samoa. The wonder is that be has lived
so long. for when child be was always i'll.
He has always been OF exceedingly delicate
health, and is so slight and short Of stature
that he has the appearance of youth.
He is the sen of Thomas Stevenson, an
engineer Of distinction, who did his best TO
instruct his son in his own business. But
after several years 1t became evident that
Robert would never become an engineer,
and after some years had elapsed in frutless
effort, he was allowed 10 follow the only
pursuit for which he cared snythiDg-that
of literature.
Scotland is Stevensou's fsvorite spot, and
be never tires OF telling of her highlands
and people. His manners are thoroughly
cordial and to his friends he is all anna
bility. His wife is OF Dutch-Americau
blood, has very dark complexion and dull
black hair.
Stevenson is now about 40 years Of age
and in spite Of his illness ia an indefatiga6le
writer. He has written great number Of
novels, ali Of which are very widely read,
short articles for periodicals and numerous
exquisite little sketches. His Imagination
Is marvellous, and the weakness OF his physi-
cal frame may account for the weird fsucies
running through 80 many OF his writings

It has been calculated that-out of the many
hundreds OF eggs deposited on single horse
scarcely one out Of fifty Of the larvae arrive
within the stomach.
Notwithstanding this waste the interior
OF the stomach may become completely
covered lcuticular portionl with bots.
Whether thsre be few or many they are
anchored in this situation chiefly by means
OF two large cephalic HOOKS. After the bots
have attained perfect growth they volun-
tarily loosen their hold and allow them
selves TO be carried along the alimentary
canal until they escape with the faces. In
all cases they sooner or later fall to the
ground, and when transferred to the soil
they bury themselves beneath the surface
In order TO undergo transformation into the
pupa condition. Having remained in the
earth for period of six or seven weeks they
finally emerge from their pupal cocoons as
perfect dipterous (Singedl insects-the CAD

numbers, slightly interfere with digestion,
