DON'T WORRY, DEAR.

Don't worry, dear; the bleakest years
That clog the forward view
Each thins to nothing when II nears.
And we may saunter through.
The darkest moment never comes,
1t only looms before;
The loss of hope is what benumbs,
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry, dear; the clouds are
black,
But with them comes the rain,
And stifed souls that parch and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear as best we can,
And there'll be none to bear:
Hard work has never killed man.
But worry did its share.
Don't worry. dear; don't blanch, don't
yield,
But dare the years to come;
Nor give the enemy the field
because he beats his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing. though they gall:
We know that life Is love. my dear.
And life and love are Ill.

FULL BENCH TO DECIDE
Whether Old Tax Judgments Are
Void or VOidabIe.

All the judges of the district court have
been appealed to for help. The county of
Ramsey is in trouble.
The district court has decided that the
judgments and tax sales hereunder of 1892
were invalid, because of the irregularity Of
the resolution authorizing the publication of
the delinquent tax list This decision renders
the county liable for all the tax certificates
sold for that year. AS these certificates are
all drawing 10 per cent interest it behooves
the county to set aside it's 1892 tax judgments
as soon possible in order to bring about
another sale of the property and so shorten
the period during which the outstanding tax
certificates are drawing 10 per cent interest
ty set aside these Judgments and if so, by
what mode of procedure
1t was TO consider these questions that the
six judges met in Judge Brills chambers
yesterday afternoon and conferred together
Attorney General Childs and Assistant Coun-
" Attorney Zollman were also present. The
latter presented a formal application on be-
half OF the couny to set aside the judgments
against all property sold.
The questions that presented themselves
We're could the county set aside those judg-
ments; If SO, how? Could the courts do so
by publication and notice, and an order purg-
ing the court record, must the county
bring an action naming as parties defend
ant all the owners of the property sold and
all the holders of the tax certificates thereon?
Is the existing judgment against the prop
erty absolutely void or only voidable? The
statutes are silent the power of the coun-
ty to bring an action to set aside Judgments
of this character.
The judges will announce their decision
tomorrow.
