THE LIGHT ON THE CLOUDS.

For an hour we watched the slowly
moving bodies of cavalry; then the
ranks began TO grow thinner; detach-
ments were smaller; scattered wagons
appeared, numbered up the valley, and
passed out of sight far in the distance
Ambulances, men supported in their
saddles by their comrades, evidently
invalids, followed, the distance between
them and the main body constantly in
creasing. The rear was brought up by
stragglers. with here and there groups
of army traders, the former devoting
themselves to plumber, the latter bar
gaining. cheating citizens and soldiers
alike with pinchbeck trinkets.
When Punk was aroused and
/ learned that our object had been ac-
complished by woman, his mOrtifica-

out upon the valley. Turning my eyes
TO the south, my attention was attract

What's that?" I'asked.
"a wagon, an army wagon. I've seen

The generally accepted valuation OF
property of any kind is based on
what it will bring in the market
and that depends on the demand
for it.-Huntingburg News.
Let's see how that Is about valua
ton being governed by what it will
bring in the market. A man owns
a favorite horse, for instance, which
another man takes a fancy to, and
offers dealer four times its value
if he will get it for him. The old
family horse might be worth not
much more than $50, but the horse
dealer offers sl2O for him. Should
his value for taxation be based on
what he would bring in the market
That would De absurd.
The property for which Mr.. Schu
macher offered tue remarkable
prices, was known not to be on the
market at any price, for peculiar per-
sonal reasons OF its owners, one of
whom could not sell without an
order from court, and the other
holding the property in an honor
trust for minor heirs.
Then, again, nine-tenths of the
business In Jasper is done away
from the public square--the largest
business establishments being To-
Gated on other streets. There are
