INSTEAD OF TEA AND BEER,
Bank Checks, Deeds, Mortgages and
Other Papers May Be Taxed.

The republican members of the finance
committee Of the Senate are considering
proposition to substitute for the duty on
tea and the proposed tax on beer tax
on bank checks, deeds. mortgages and
other conveyances, which will compensate
for the loss of revenue which those two
articles would produce. The first PROPOSE
ton was to provide a tax only on bank
checks, but this has been broadened so as
to include other instruments indicating a
money transaction. The committee has not
definitely decided upon the substitution, but
1t has gone SO far as to ask that an in
quiry be made as to the amount of revenue
that could be counted upon from the
source Indicated, and senators familiar
with the situation predict with the utmost
confidence that the change will be made.

HE N1DE THE HORSE GO.

At least 20 minutes had been expend,
ed in fruitiess efforts to make the
stubborn horse move. Hitched to a
bulky delivery wagon, he stood direct
ly in the pathway Of traffic at the
crowded corner of Sixth avenue and
Fourteenth street. The animal was
large, apparently we'll fed and not
overworked. 1t was simply a case
of balk.
The driver had exhausted his per-
suasive powers and sat quietly on his
seat, the half dozen men who had
been Juggling at the wheels of the wa
gon had desisted from their ineffectu-
al eXertions, the knowing individual
who sought to coax the animal with a
whisp of hay had thrown down the
attempting bait in disgust, and the
daft fellow who essayed to twist the
horses tail had managed to get away
without being kicked. when a mild
hammered gentleman, silk hated and
kid gloved, came upon the scene.
Quietly pusli G aside the impatient
street car driver, who wanted to build
a fire under the animal, the gentle
man gently stroked the horses neck
with one gloved hand, while with the
other he picked up the baked crea-
lures right foot, bending it back and
holding it firmly.
Nodding to the driver, he said,
Now go ahead"
The driver fiourished his whip and
said "G'langn The horse instructive
ly started, and, finding that its row
ers of locomotion were gone, became
FESTIVE. The gentleman then releas-
ed the imprisoned foot, which the

by trotting rapidly down the street.
After brushing a few particles OF
dirt from his gloves the mild manner
ed man passed on his way, and the
congestion in the street enjoyed a
speedy relief.

OF II LOST.


They never quite leave us, our friends who
have passed
Through the shadows of death to the sum
light above;
A thousand sweet memories are holding
them fast
To the places they blessed with IL cir pre-
SenCt and love.
The work which they left and the books
which they read
Speak muteiy, though .tll with al &c
QuCncG rare.
And the songs that they sung, and dear words
that they said,
Yet linger and sigh on The desolatc air.
And oft when alone, and as oft in the Lhrong
Or when, evil allures us or SIN draweth
nigh,
a whisper comes gently, Nay, do not the
wrOng."
And we feel that our weakness is pitied on
high.
In the dew threaded morn and the opaline
eV",
When the children are merry or crimsoned
We are com:orted, even as lonely we grove,
For the thought of their rapture forbids us
TO weep.
We toll at our tasks i'll the burden and heat
OF lfe's passionate noon. They are folded
N peace
1t is well. We rejoice that our heaven is
And one day for us will all bitterness cease.
We, too, will go home DER the riv of rest,
As the strong and the lovely before us have
gone:
Our sun will 80 down in the beautiful west,
To rise in the glory that circles the throne.
Until then we are bound by our love and our
faith
To the saints who are walking in Paradise
fair.
They have passed beyond sight, at the touch
ing of death,
But they live, like ourselves in Gods ill.,
finite care.

self to have felt all along would have
done wonders toward helping him to
success. And this was the girl who
had refused him three times. Three
times-nay, 3G0 times, if he were to

this document, he tilted back his
chair, threw back his head and laugh
ed aloud. Then he took it up and
read it over again, and then he laughed
again. His favorite fox terrier, which
was lying asleep on the hearth rug,
jumped up at the sound of the I'M
wonted merriment. but finding moth
ing more interesting than an mani
mate bit of paper he curled himself
up into a round bali and went to sleep
again. Then Jack got up, pushed
back his chair, put his hands in his
pockets and walked over to the win
dow, humming to himself something
which sounded very like:
And saddle thou my gray war steed,
For I'll go and WOO elsewhere.
And the only letter that he ans wered

SUFFOC4TED By SULPHUR.

While two men were hunting on the
Yellowstone river, they saw in a small
gulch a grizzly bear, curled up as if
asleep. Being men of experience,
they climbed up the side of the gulch
and, when out of reach, hurled rocks
at the huge animal. To their surprise
it never moved, although hit quite
frequently. Presently it dawned
upon them that the grizzly was dead,
and closer examination revealed such
to be fact There was no wound
on its body, and while the men were
bordering over this singular circum-
stances, they became conscious of
sense of sulfocating from strong sulph
er fumes, arising from several holes in
the ground near by. AT some risk
they investigated further and found
the skeletons of four other bears, AN
elk, squirrels and other small game,
all evidently asphyXiated by the noX-
ious gases. The gnlch made a natur-
al basin in which the gas settled, and,
as it is heavy and lies near the sur
face, quadrupeds fall easy victims in
this death-trap. Even the hunters
suffered from severe headache and
nausea, after their brief stay.
