DEFINING THE ISSUE.
Supreme Court Simplifies Duluth
Gas and Water Case.

In the Duluth Water and Gas COM
pany taxation case, which has been be-
fore the supreme court for some time,
an order was issued yesterday after
noon by the court postponing consid-
GRAFTON of the case until the first week
in the April term of court The ques-
ton at issue is whether franchise of
a corporation can be assessed for the
value of it's property over and above
the debt of the company. Several tech
meal legal questions which enter into
the controversy have been considered
by the court, but the questions which
the court will determine in April are
as follows:
IF the provisions of general statutes
1894, section 1880 are designed as the
method of taxing the franchise of the
company. are they valid in view of the
fact that the amount of the corporate
Indebtedness in addition to the value
of the real and personal property of
the corporation otherwise taxed is to
be deducted from the market or actual
value of the capital stock? Will this
result in equal and uniform taxation?
Does not this indebtedness enter into
and go to fix the value of the capital
stock as much as does the value of it's
corporate franchise?

Miss Lolita Armour, just two years

weighs as much and is as full of life to-
day as babies which the storks usher

lived he would give her half million

thrive industriousiy. She is the child
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Ogden Armour. of

Lolita came into the world she weigh ed
barely three pounds, and her doting
grandfather was told that by the
merest chance she might be saved by
an incubator. The dearest wish of z.

Sea GuIIs Are Cunning.

An example of the cunning of gulls
was observed at Tacoma, when several
alighted on a bunch of logs that had
been in the water for long time, with
the submerged sides thick with bar
nacles. One was big gray fellow, who
seemed to be the captain. He walked
to particular log, stood on one side of
it, close to the water, and then uttered
peculiar cries. The other gulls came
and perched on the same side of the
log, which, under their combined
weight, rolled over few inches. The
gals. step by step, kept the log rolling
until the barnacles showed above the
water. The birds picked eagerly at tAis
food, and the log was not abandoned
until every barnacle had been picked.

HABITUAL BoARDERs.
Bitter I'm Discussing Their Al
legged Shortcomings.

A dear old bachelor friend who comes
to see US frequently broke forth the
other day in a trade against boarding
house women. Not the landladies, but
the guests. "Of all the useless, mex
cusa BILE gum berers of the ground" said
he, ''they are the worst. The landlady
is to be respected. She has home and
an occupation in this world, but her
boarders have none. I don't speak Of
single women or business women-they
have some excuse for boarding, though
I think the wisest among them combine
to keep house tcgether-but the mar
ried women. Their husbands duty in
life is TO earn money for the supper.
of home, and the men do it. The
wives duty is to make the home, but
they shirk it. They spend their en-
ergies in dressing with as much ele-
gance as they can command. They
wear pretty breakfast sacks and put
on silk gowns for dinner.
"They dress their hair deliberately:
sometimes they dye it. At the table
their idea of rational conversation is
to find fault with the food. They are
adopts at quickly and quietly Selling
on celery, olives or any little delicacy
which may not quite go round. After
dinner they sit in rocking chairs, where
they can command view of the front
steps, or of who goes out and comes in
the hall. In the daytime, when they are
not fussing over their wardrobes, they
are haunting the shops and the bargain
sales or visiting round in one anotter's
rooms and abusing the landlady.
They go to all the matinees they can
and worship actors. Some of them
study elocution or china painting or
Delsarte or any other useless thing to
fill up their time. They have 70 time
or energy for charitable work; they
have no money to take pew in church.
Besides, they generally don't believe in
church. They like to. go out Christmas
or Easter to hear the music and find
fault with the poor, fallible human be-
ings who support such institutions
Their favorite literature is'the society
columns of the paper. They can tell
all that the fine folk are doing as well
as if they were intimate friends. They
have themselves no circle of friends
only chance acquaintances-here to-
day and gone tomorrow, wanderers
from one boarding house to another
like themselves. They have no duties
no responsibilities. They'd be afraid
to take a $50 fiat and wear print wrap
per and do their own work and make
homes for their husbands and children
Is there anything more wretched than
children brought up in a boarding
house? Those idiot women would not
be capable of it. Besides, they would
think themselves coming down in the
world. They actually believe tie kind
of life they lead to be superior. If they
started outwith a normal allowance oil
heart and brain, ten years of boarding
house life bankrupts them. "-Chicagc

SONGBIRDS FOR FOOD.
Thousands of Robins Shot Every Fall
for the MorseI of Meat ON Their
Tiny Breasts.

In November the robins in hocks of
hundreds make their way into the gar
dens of towns, as well as into the parks
and fields and orchards about the bay
of San Francisco, where many of the
blessed wanderers are shot for sport
and the morsel of meat on their
breasts, says ohm Muir in the Atlantic.
Man then seems beast of prey, pray
as he may. Not even genuine piety can
make the robin-killer quite respect
able. Saturdays are the great slaugh-
ter days in the bay region. Then the
city pothunters, good and bad, with
ragtag of boys, go forth to kill, kept
in countenance by sprinkling of regu-
lar sport smen arrayed in self-conscious
majesty and leggings, leading dogs and
carrying hammerlesS, breech-loading

with shameful enthusiasm. After es
Gaping countless dangers, thousands
fall, big bagfuls are gathered, many
are left wounded to die slowly, no Red
Cross society to help them. Next day
Sunday, the blood and leggings vanish
from the most devout of the bird butch
ers, and they go to church, carrying
gold-headed canes instead of guns.
After hymns, prayers and sermon they
go home to feast, to put Gods song
birds to use, put them in their dinners
instead of in their hearts, eat them,
suck the pitiful little drumsticks. 1t is
only race living on race, to be sure, but
Christians singing Divine love need not
be driven to such straits, while wheat
and apples grow, and the shops are full
of dead cattle. Songbirds for food!

Baby Disguised the Dog.

In a certain house there was a very
fine baby and also a very fine dog.
They were much attached to each 9TH
er, and the only thing that marred
their pleasure was baby's daily bath.
During this proceeding baby always
howled himself black and blue, and the
dog, out of sympathy, crouched in a
corner and moaned. After a month or
two of this daily anguish the dog de-
vised scheme to stop it. One day,
while baby was bowling as usual, the
dog came marching into the room car
rying a rattle in its mouth, and, stand
ing by the tub, shook his head-and
the rattle-vigorously. Baby actually
stopped crying a minute to see what
this unusual proceeding meant, but
then began again with extra power.
The dog dropped the rattle with dis
gusted air, and after that day. always
managed to be out of the house during
baby's bath.
