THE PAPER FROM HOME.


From the New York telegram
An uncut magazine was under the
arm of the pale young man who sat in
the elevated train today, and two morn
ing papers were lying across his knees.
He had in his hand a crumbled little
newspaper, one of the kind which is
left in soak over night ana printed on
an old'time Washington press. 1t was
a little country paper, and the name
Vermont could be seen al the top of the
page as he turned it over. There were
big advertisements upon it, which pro-
claimed that choice line of dry goods
had been added to our stock Come
early, give US a call, and no trouble TO
show goods" There were the stereo-
typed cards Of the country physicians,
who announced that they were both
medical and surgical" There was
line in big black type which said Ike
ligi1us Notices" AS the young man
turned that paper around there came
into view q dOuble-leaded article with
two reversed black rules at top and bot
tom, and a little garntshing of hne
type in the middle, which is always

country paper as he ran, and I picked
1t up. There was no chance to restore
it to him then. On the page where the
locals appear was the following par
agraph surrounded by a blue pencil
mark:
While in New York recently we were
entertained by our talented young
friend, Charles --. He took US to the
Waldorf, where a repast was spread
which fairiv @Aused the table to groan,
and to wn1ch we did ample justice.
Charles is winning his way to fame and
wealth in the metropolis. He had
case in court the other day, and his
picture was in several of the daily pa
pers as the youthful lawyer who was
assigned to defend the prisoner" This
town may well be proud of Charles. He
is a bright young man,and he will make
his mark some day. Here's luck to you

POLL TAX FOR THE IDLE.
Columbus Citizens Must Work Two
Days or Pay So for the Benefit
of the Unemployed

of the mass meeting of the unemployed
on Saturday the board of public works
today recommended and had introduced
into the city council an ordinance which
really amounts to a poll tax of SO. 1t
is the old road law requiring every able
bodied male citizen between the ages of
81 and SIS years to do two days work
on the streets a year, or in lieu thereof,
pay SO.
The tax proposed to be collected in
this way is to be used in street repair
ing and to be expended to give work to
the unemployed.
Two other unusual ordinances were
introduced.
One forbids a bicyclist to carry a
child in front of hiT1 on his wheel. The
other makes it q nnisdemeanOr to ex-
pectOrate in a street car.
