Sometimes the man is the head and

Then Assessor Caldwell explained
that the head Of a family was entitled
$500 exemption from taxation and
sometimes he is unable to tell who is
the head of the family.
He gave an instance where a man
was running quite Il business in his
wife's name and the man had returned
the stock Tor taxation in his wife's
name but claimed the 5000 exemption.
The man did not return any property
in his own name.
Now what I want 10 know is said
the city assessor. whether that WO-
man is the head of the family. If she
is tho head of the family she is en-
titled To the 5000 exemption, other
wise she is not"
Mr.. Caldwell SAYS there are a mum
her of cases just ike the one mentioned
10y him. and for the life of him ne can
NOT Jel whether he ought 10 allow the

In the case mentioned Mr.. Caldwell

Terrible Record.

A French journal relates an incident in which a naughty functionary re- ceived what in the vernacular of rustic America would be called meat come uppance." This naughty person was member of the chamber of deputies, and much given to long speeches,
 One day he found another deputy conversing in the lobby with man whose face seemd familiar to him, but whom he could not remember. lie fan cied the man must be an intruding journalist.
 Pardon me-" he said to the other man, ''but whom have we here?"
 ''Allow me to introduce to you," an swered the deputy, ''the man who has written more falsehoods and stupidities than any other man living"
 ''Indeed!'' said the great man. ''Then my supposition was correct that he is a journalist?"
 Not at all-he is the official stenog- rapher of the chamber!''
