TRYING TO PROVE POVERTY.
PILGRIMS WITH GRIEVANCES AT THE
TAX DEPARTMENT.
MENT OF THE SUNDAY LAW HAS RUINED
THEIR BUSINESS AND LEFT THEM WITH

LIQUOR DEALERS DECLARE THAT THE ENFORCE
THEIR BUSINESS AND LEFT THEM WITH
OFT ANYTHING TO BE LEVIED UPON.
The pilgrimages made TO the Tax Department
annually by the thousands who feel that they are
either unwilling unable to contribute any snare
toward taxation. and aid in raising sufficient money
10 maintain the city government during the year.
show many peculiar conditions of men and affairs.
At this season OF the year the weary pilgrims may
be found vending their way to the Stewart Build
ing and upon reaching the Tax Department they
taken in hand by the veteran police officer and
assigned to places line. awaiting their turn
when next may be called Then the pilgrim Is
ushered before Of the Tax Commissioners. ana
there endeavors to demonstrate his poverty with
the hope of escaping the tax-gatherer.
The liquor-deaers are this year out in fun force,
and their excuses are without number They are
bitter in their denunciation of the enforcement Of
the Sunday law. declaring that it has ruined their
business. The prohibition of the sale Of liquor
within 200 feet of church is alleged to have
caused the closing of many places of business and
the ruin of the propretors.
The Ranes bill is a nightmare to the brewer the
wholesale and retail dealer. The liquor man. after
giving the Tax Commissioner his estimate or
the deprecated value of his personal property,
consisting of stock and fixtures In most cases OF
few hundred dollars. in the next breath tells of his
debts to the brewer. the wholesale liquor-dealer,
the cigar maker and winds up with the announce
ment that the brewer has a chattel mortgage upon
the whole concern in each and every case In amount
from $1,000 to $1,000 despite the fact that the pro-
prietor swears to the Tax Commissioner that the
personal property mortgaged Is worth only few
hundred dollars. This would appear to show the
manner in which the saloon business Is conducted.
and that the mortgage is worthless 50 far as a
money value is concerned but that its real value Is
in the firm hold upon the storekeeper. The latter
must continue sell one brand of beer and shout
the brewer holding the mortgage wants him TO.
or the mortgage Will be foreclosed and the business
transferred to some one else
The brewer fails to show for the purpose of taxa
ton. that these mortgages have a value as per-
sonal property. but alleges the contrary and that
they have taxable value.
A volume or handbook. for the use of brewers and
others has recently been published showing list
Of these chattel mortgages filed in the Register 8
ONCE against saloon and restaurant propretors,
In whose favor, and the amount of the mortgage.

Walt Mason, the "poet laureate,
of Nebraska, thus tells why he
would like to be a boy again: I'd
like to be boy again without a
woe or care, with freckles scattered
on my face and hayseed in my
hair. I'd like to rise at 4 O'Clock
and do hundred chores, and saw
the wood aud feed the hogs and
lock the stable doors; and herd the
hens and watch the bees and take
the mules to drink; and teach the
turkeys how to swim so that they
wouldn't 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 wear my brothers cast off
clothes and walk four miles to
school and get licking every day
for breaking some old rule; and
then walk home again at night and
do the chores once more and milk
the cows and feed the hogs and cur
ry mules galore; and then crawl
wearily up stairs and seek my lit
tie bed, and hear dad say: "That
worthless boyl He doesn't earn his
breadI I'd like to be boy again;
a boy has so much fun; his life is
just round of mirth from rise to
set of sun; 1 guess there's nothing
pleasanter than closing stable doors
and herding hens and chasing bees
and doing evening chores.

cases of total or partial deafness, is
due directly to catarrh.
| The deafness begins with roaring
and buzzing noises, one of the first
symptoms of this disease.
| Have you ever noticed how many
people incline one side of their head
to you when you talk to them? Or
who changes positions with you
when walking, SO as to have the
good ear towards yon? If ever you
have then you would know how
common this affiiction is.
1t is a sad thing to lose any of
the senses. Yet many persons, by
neglecting to secure the right kind
of treatment which can be had by
specialists properly trained for the
purpose, bring upon themselves
arrangement and an irnpediment
of the sense of hearing which oper-
ates to destroy every interest in
life, and to rob them of all the
freshness of pleasure.
For many years DR.. Darrin's pro
fessional attention has been exclu-
sively given to the study and in
vestigation OF deafness, and it is
with pardonable pride that be re-
fers to the success he has achieved
in his treatment; and permanent
cures are often affected in the most
stubborn and aggravated cases, as
is shown by the following open
carb:
