Baltimore Wants Its Taxes.

Street car conductors in Baltimore
are TO be under double surveillance for
time. In addition to the inspectors
of fare registers employed by the
companies the park board of the city
has employed forty on its own behalf.
The interest of the park board in the
matter concerns the city's getting its
full share of taxes from the railway
companies for the maintenance of the
public parks. Under the law the
street car companies pay into the park
fund 8 per cent. Of their receipts from
fares collected within the old city
limits, the tax being levied on the re-
.ceipts in proportion to the relative per-
centage of the trackage within the
city limits to that outside.
For years the returns from this tax
were sufficient to maintain the city
parks, but since the electric develop
ment and the extension of the street
railroads further into the suburbs the
gross receipts upon which the city col
lects its tax have become so much less
that the avails are insufficient for park
purposes. For this reason the park
board is questioning the equity of the
mileage system Of measuring gross
receipts, and its employment OF in
spectors may be preliminary to the
devising Of new plan of apportion-
ment. New York Press.

THE SECRET OF POWER.

Olall tho nen whom admire
There's net one who may aspire
To stand rs high, and none who can

That one can be none other than
This unobtrusive "qulet man."
No matter what's within his head
His silence Is interpreted
To be sign that wisdom lies
Behind his inexpensive eyes.

II so, by chance, he takes . stand,
Assumes position OF command,
Surprised approval greets him then,
And you shall hear from other men:
"Some weighty reason lays behind
An act so foreign to his kind"
When things 10 wrong his moveless state
Is credited to scorn OF fate;
So softly to himself he swears.
IT'S thought he murmurs pious prayers,
He's 80 misjudged, his flaws at length
Are twisted into points OF strength.
Poor humankind awaits command
From all 1t doesn't understand,
And he may work his own sweet will
Who has the art OF keeping still.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Two and a Half Years Old Child
Nearly Drowned.
Taken from Well in the Nick Of Time BY A.
F. Parrott

To the lively and persistent work OF
Arthur F. Parrot of this city, the 21a
years-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Lovejoy owes her life. She was
FALLEN. apparently dead; being COM
pletely overcome, and with her stomach
full of water After working on her
for some time. the little child recovered.
1t seems that the girl and her older
sister. aged about five years, had been
left by their mother alone at the house
on the Bond brook road, situated just
above the brick yard. The mother had
been called away on some business.
The little girl must have fallen into
the well while at play, it having been
left uncovered.
Mr.. Parrott drove along the road
about $50, when the elder Of the two
girls ran out to meet him. crying cut:
My sister is in theswater."
He jumped from the team. and
started in the direction Of the brook
presuming that it was there that the
sister was. This way-in the weh,
the girl said, as best she could
On reaching the we'll Mr.. Parrot
could dimly see the child in the water.
AS mis- eyes grew accustomed to the
uncertain light, heoeould see that her
head was down. her clothes in some
way keeping her afoat. With pole
which he found near by. which had a
nail on the end, he tried to pull her up.
That proved successful. He then
ran for barn nearby. hoping
to find a ladder. In this he was sue
cessful, but. as bad luck would have Il,
the ladder had been damned between
two small buildings, one of which had
been moved from its foundations. The
ladder refused to come until he finally

on her for long time, she
was resuscitated.

Whjrlwtnd on Rines Hill.

There was something about the
breezes that blew, Monday. that caused
a disturbance in the air at the top of
Rines hill, there where number of
streets meet. yn 5n4
About II o'clock there was whirl-
wind seen, rising first in little furry
until in a few seconds it had become
column of dust as big around as
church steeple and about 200 feet in
height. 1t took everything right up
with it that was at all light, and papers
and small sticks together with the dust
whirled around and up. until at last
the pillar ran up against Stilkey's barn,
and the whirlwind's back was broken.
The upper part Of it kept on whirling
until it disappeared in the blue sky,
becoming broader and broader like &
light cloud, finally to be lost sight OF
altogether
1t didn't amount to much, but it was
a rare sight, and with a little magma
ton one could conceive what it might
do had it only chance to grow, and.
instead of combining itself to dust and
papers. seek for larger material to
carry away. But as far as being car
ried away is concerned, who wouldn't
gladly have been willing to depart, had
there been any chance of reaching that
blue sky of yesterday?
The residents of that section state
that other whirlwinds made their ap-
pearance during the morning, but none
were so great as the one described.
Whirlwinds are generally believed to
precede dry weather, special pro-
vision to advise watering carts.

someness is better than mere beauty of

Ayers Hair Vigor.
In MenlOrialll.

On Sunday evening, July 22nd,
1897, the white-winged messenger OF
death entered the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Edgerton and bore away
one of our fairest, sweetest flowers,
Smithy Lillian, their little three
year-old darling Though so young,
the little one was a general fayorlte.
All who knew her loved her. After
the shadow of the angel wing was
seen on her sweet face, all that loving
hands could do was administered,
but the little one gradually sank,
and at o'clock Sunday evening she
fell asleep in Jesus, from which she
will never wake to weep.
Little Lillian was very intelli-
gent child. Fond parents, though
with crushed and bleeding hearts,
look up to Him and pray that you
may be resigned.
'Tis but a young and tender flower,
Waited to the Heavenly shore,
Where i'll perpetual beauty,
It will bloom forever more.
Weep not, fond parents, for Lillian,
From this troublesome life she is
And is safe in the arms of Him whe

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Viger. It re-
moves dandruff, c1eanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil In
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain it's normal color, OR
if you wish to restore the lost
tint Of gray or faded hair use
