CHARLESTON, W. va, August 81
Superintendent OF Schools Trotter re-
ceIved a ruling from Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue Scott to-day, about
stamps upon teachers' certificates. The
commissioner says: "As a part Of the
regulations adopted by the state IN
connection with its public schools, these
certificates are held to be for govern
ment" purpose rather than for private
use, and therefore not subject to a
stamp tax under the revenue act OF
June Is, 1893" Superintendent Trotter
odds: IT should add that lnasmuch as
teachers contracts are also "a part Of
the regulations adopted by the state In
connection with its public schools" 1t is
evident that teachers contracts are not
subject to a stamp tax"

The Farmer Was Fixed for Him.

A well-to-do Georgia farmer invited
merchant friend to dine with him.
The merchant was known for his crank
mess and had once or twice tried to
shoot people for imagined wrongs. The
farmer had considerable business deal
ings with him, and they were on the
best of terms. However, the farmer
always kept wary eye on him. Several
days after the dinner at the farmers
house the merchant said to him: Il
can't account for the queer feelings
and impulses l have occasionally. For
instance, the other day when l was
dining at your table it suddenly came
into my mind to kill you. had pistol
in my pocket at the time, and once
l had my hand on it, when the strange
feeling passed from mel"
Don't let that bother you," said the
farmer. II knowed all about your
failin's in that line, an wuzn't asleep
when 1 saw your hand to your hip.
My son John wuz standin' in the hall
way back of you with shotgun lev

bacon by changin' your mind. Eff you
hadn't he'd er blowed daylight through

BERTHA'S COMB.

Dear Bertha's hair is golden spun.
AS IL unraveled from the sun
In brightest noon, and clinging there.
In Bertha's hair a tortoise comb,
An olden comb high crowned and spare,
Recalls a dear old-fashioned home
And Bertha's mother, young again,
Makes me the happiest of men.
Dear Bertha's locks are wayward things.
And futter like the fiossy wings
or humming-birds around flower,
And Bertha's words are like song
I heard long since in young loves bower:
And now a youth, who dallies long
Beside her chair with gesture neat,
Picks up the comb from near her feet.
Ah we'll! the wheel of time has whirled,
And Berthas world is not my world!
But that young man who bends the knec
And lifts the bauble from the floor
In bashfu haste-it seems to me
That / have seen that youth before;
For Bertha's mothers comb. / know,
Enthralled me thirty years ago!

"sir," said I, "upon my word I dare

"Oh," he sneered, "that's it! Take
me in straight, or I'll break your arm"
He gave it, as he spoke, a wrench that
made me cry out.
"Sir," said l, at is for yourself mean.
The captain is not what he used to be
He sits with drawn cutlass. Another
gentleman"
"Come, now, march," interrupted he; /;
and l never heard a voice so cruel, and
cold, and ugly as that blind mans. II
cowed me more than the pain; and l
began to obey him at once, walking
straight in at the door and toward the
parlor, where the sick old buccaneer
was sitting, dazed with rum. The
blind man clung close to me, holding
me in with one iron fist, and leaning all
most more of his weight on me than !
could carry. LEAD me straight up to
him, and when I'm in full view cry out: /:
Here's a friend for you, Bill If you
don't, I'll do this; and with that he gave
me a twitch that l thought wo Nd have
made me faint. Between this ed that,
I was so utterly terrified by the blind
beggar that I forgot my terror of the
captain, and, as opened the parlor
door, cried out the words he had or
dered in trembling voice.
