He Alwnys Buys Enough

New York Sun: a not generally
acknowledged characteristic of men is
their wholesale habit Of doing things.
They have almost no regard for smaller
details of living. Women, on the con-
trary, pay scrupulous attention to little
things, leaving the larger ones Ito take
care of thesmelves. This may imply that
men have larger, more liberal way OF
looking at things than have women. but
it doesn't necessarily follow that such a
way is the wisest or the most economical.
There was the man who, when his wife
asked him to buy her a sunshade, brought
home six. 81 thought l might just as
well get several" he said. by way OF ex-
PLANTATION. "A woman once suggested that
her husband order some toilet soap OH his
way down town. The top shelves OF all
the closets in their home are still filled
with the slowly decreasing pile of toilet
soap that he at once had sent home, and
that was some years ago. Whenever
come home full of the praises of some
satisfactory purchase said another wo-
man, my husband always says: Well.
why didn't you get more OF it?" He can 7
understand that one may like thing and
yet like but little Of it, according to her
needs" Give man free foot in shop
ping or marketing or ordering" and
you will find that however excellent his
taste as to quality may be, he has no
discrimin alton whatever with respect to
quantity.

WILL RESIST COLLECTION
Intense Excitement In Carter County Over
Railroad.Tax

kolITOuu' II
ASHLAND, KY, July LIN Carter
county there Is intense excitement bel
cause OF the appearance Of strangers who
acknowledge their mission to be to col.
lect the famous railroad tax that hat best
in dispute for forty years.
This tax grows out OF the bond issue o.
$75 900 to the Elizabethtown and l,exing'
on and Big Sandy railroad from Lexing'
ton to Catlettsburg. The company, after
securing the bonds, abandoned the. pro-
ject, selling their bonds at liberal dis
count to David Einton, a millionaire as
Cincinnati. Through mistake OF the
county attorney in drawing up the con-
tract the road escaped the liability OF con-
struction and its refusal to meet its agree
ment gave rise to the contest that has
ever since been successfully maintained.
:. All who voted the bonds, save single
resident of Garter county, are dead, and
25O0 of the new generation have organized
to resist the collection. Numerous ~.
tempts have failed and it is now regarded
as:worth your life to attempt the collec-
tion. Two months ago deputy collector.
after making levy upon the farmers
property, escaped being lyncbed BY $40
people only by slipping off in the night.
The men are determined that no collec.
tion shall be made and openly announce
it. All that holds the matter from a
crisis is doubt OF the sincerity OF The
collector and his allies.
