Aupearppces.

Men often assert that the average man
Is neater in his everyday appearance
than the average woman. White linen
collars and cuffs have procured this rep
utation for man. Take man with a
shabby. hand-me-down suit Of clothes on
his back. and let him put on spotless
shirt. cuffs and collar. and he looks
spick and span. Put ever SO cheap a
ready-made dress on woman. with a
white linen collar. white wash tie and
snowy cuffs. and she'll look just as neat
as her brother. There's one weakness
that nine out of ten women have, though,
when It comes to cuffs and collars. They
will think that a collar will do to wear
one more time. when a man would toss
It into his laundry bag. Nothing gives
one SO untidy appearance as soiled lin
en-. and there Is no excuse for women
economizing in this particular

THE TAX LEVY WAS FIXED
The County Commissioners Com
plete Their Work.
THE SAME AS LAST YEAR
The Board Listened TO One Hundred and
Twenty-Seven Complaints and Re-
duced Taxation $40 .ooo-state
Boards Request Ignored.

The county commissioners met yes
serday TO complete their work as a
board Of equalization and in the after
noon met as a board of county COM
,missioners and fixed a tax-levy as fol-
lows: state purposes, 2h mills; stock
bounty. three mills; stock detective and
inspector. Ia mills. stock indemnity,
half mill: sheep Inspector and indemni-
~, half mill; county purposes, 5A mills;
general fund. three mills, poor fund,
IL; road fund, one: sinking fund. half
mill; school. five mills; special school,
Two mills: sinking fund school district
NO. /, half mill.
The usual poll tax of SO per head
for road purposes and 81 for the poor
fund was also levied. The levy i'm the
county is exactly the same as IL was
last year, the total for county purposes
being 5A mills. The school levy IN DIS
1rict No. / is a mill and a half higher
this rear tha it was last year. The
city of Walkerville also increased its
levy from 5IR mills last year to eight
mills this year. The city of Butte has
not yet mades its levy.
When the commissioners adjourned
yesterday morning as a board Of equall-
cation they had heafu ia complaints
and had granted reductions TO the
amount of about $4,000, consisting
mostly of cancelled mortgages, which
had been enormously assessed. There
were not more than four or five raises
altogether, the total increase in assess
ments -aggregating probably less than
$50. 000.
The request of Governor Smith and
she state board of equalization for a
general raise in Silver Bow county was
simply ignored and the assessments on
bank stocks, merchandise. cash and
franchises remain as they were made by
the county assessor.
The board of school trustees met yes
terday as a board of equalization i'm ac-
cordance with the opinions Of the at
torneys of the board. They were in
session all day without receiving a sim
gle complaint. and at 5 o'clock they met
as a board of trustees and instructed
the clerk to notify the county clerk that
there had been no change in the roll
passed on by the commissioners, and
also notify the later that a special
levy for building purposes of two mills
would be required. on the valuation OF
about S26, 900, 600 in the district the trus-
tees would receive $50. 000. but allowing
for the usual delinquents the receipts
from the special tax will not reach $50,
600. The trustees when they called for
the special election, had counted on re-
ceiving about $50, 600.

He had flowing robes and wore long and hoeifs, nodding Plumess so that he was very evening he came out of his quiet house and three times he sang "Che hen, che hen.

The "I am the one for whom you have been looking so long, and l am come to marry you" But he looked at her and said "No, you are not the one.

 One day there appeared a slender young woman, of graceful form and fair of face. Her beautiful mantle was spotted here and there with lovely clusters of flowers and groups of bangles hung upon it. She heard the song and drew near the singer. Then she said she could love dearly one so manly and would marry him if he would love her in turn. The song ceased. He looked at her and was pleased, and said she was just the one he wished and for whom he had waited so long. They met with loving embrace, and ever since the slender bean twfnes closely around the corn, he. supporting her and she cherishing him. Perhaps it might be added that they are not divided in death, for beans make a part of Indian corn bread.-From the Journal of American Folklore.
