In all the calculations of the rate

erty 10 Morgan District, the valua-
ton of the F., M. & p. Railroad has
been omitted This was because
railroad valuations are made by the
Board OF Public works and not by
the County Assessor. Upon inquiry
and examination we find chat the
railroad is assessed upon a yalua-
ton of 1926, 500 in the County and
$4,000 in Morgan District alone.
This makes certain that the rate of
taxation in Morgan District will not
exceed l2 cents on the 500: 60 cents
on $500; $l.20 on $1,000; Sc on So
600 and so on. Every man can cal
culate his tax on this basis. As a
large share of the tax will be paid
by the corporations, banks, rail
road, electric light, brick, gas, water,

ing plants now doing business in

number about LOO in the District,

"NiutiIation" Of Trees.

A prefect in certain French town
issued "a declaration ordering severe
measures to be taken against divers ma
licious persons who amused themselves
by stripping the bark from the plane
trees bordering the public promenade.
"The trees thus mutlated," so ran the
affiche, present most pitiable ap-
pearance." However, as, in spite OF the
prefect's declaration, the humiliation"
continued unabated, the worthy func-
tionary summoned his head clerk to
consult with him on the matter. There
upon the clerk informed him that, as
the plane trees themselves shed their
bark every year, it would be futile to
institute proceedings against such In
corrigible offenders. The clerk seemed
amused. but the prefect did not; the
notices were removed with more than
official dispatch.

The Blue House Lock

THE life of Dorcas Heaven, who
keeps the Blue House lock. is
somewhat lonely and monotonous.
Her post is more or less of a sinecure,
for but few barges pass along that bit
of the canal Indeed, the canal itself.
though winding through the prettiest
bit of country in the neighborhood, is
only navigable during wet season.
After a drought it grows so shallow
that cows are wont to stand derisively
in the very middle of it, cooling their
legs.
Elijah, husband of Dorcas, is a labor
er on a farm some two miles off.
AS the path alongside the canal leads
to nowhere in particular, there is not
much traffic, but when barge does
come Dorcas "bustles her about sharp
ish," and there is great to-do, She
looks upon herself as more or less the
hostess of the occupants of the barge.
'They change the weather and pass the
time of day." their destination and their
business are exhaustively discussed,
and when at length stiffness settles
down over the Blue House, when there
is no sound but the cry of peewit or
the rustic of water rat in the rushes,
Dorcas fetches a chair into the door
way, and sinks upon it, exclaiming:
"Law! what palladium it have been,
to be sure."
On Sunday mornings Dorcas does not
go to church, for "Elijah do like bit
o. meat of Sunday" and Dorcas is a
good wife first and good church
woman second. She therefore defers
her attendance until evening, when
Elijah accompanies her. While the bit
o. meat is in course of preparation he
strolls round for "a bit of a talk" with
one "Ethni Harman, licensed TO sell
beer and tobacco" whose house of cheer
lies on the outskirts of the town. and
where the very latest electioneering
news is to be had. Elijah has been
heard to express an opinion to the ef-
feet that there amt no arm in going
to church twice for them as it suits,
but once, along of my missus, be enough
for l."
Had it been in Elijah's nature to be
astonished at anything, he would have
felt some surprise at the amiability
with which Dorcas had lately speeded
him on his way to "The Cat and Com
passes on Sunday mornings. She had
at one time been rather given to in
conveniently suggesting that them
peas want sticking, and the salery be
ready for banking when Elijah would
fain have been summing himself upon
the bench outside Ethni Harmans hos

minded friend beside him. He usually
fell in with his wife's suggestions, for

THE ICEMAN'S LOSS.
Acc rdi to Calculating Barber ~
Figures Out to Be Con-
siderable.

How'd you like to be the iceman?"
Snyder, the calculating barber, was
artistically executing quickstep on
the razor strop when the above little
ditty hoated in from the busy thor
oughfare, causing a smile of contempt
to fit across his features, says the Phil
adelphia Record. THAT simply makes
me weary" he remarked, as with n
flourish he daubed the patrons face.
You hear that latest acquisition in the
way of slang phrases repeated by men
of every station, just as If the iceman's
lot was an earthly paradise. As mat
ter of fact, the individual who embarks
on a career which involves the market
ing of congealed moisture doesn't have
to run around searching for his trou-
bles. How many people, do you sup
pose, ever think of the amount of
money that drips right out Of the ice
mans hands when the sun beats down
on his heavily loaded wagon? Don't
amount to much, eh? Welb you'll
change your opinion when l bring up
few figures for your consideration.
Starting out with a ton of ice, | esti-
mate that melting alone causes a dead
loss of abort 100 pounds to the dealer.
This doesn't seem much, but when you
calculate that about 1000 wagons day
right here in town lose THAI amount the
figures are amazing. One hundred
thousand pounds, at, say, ten cents
per hundred, runs up the tidy sum
of 500. Three hundred and siXty-five
times 500 gives us the annual loss To-
cally as $36,500. Takes little nerve,
doesn't it, to be an iceman? Then,
if during the summer these drippings
could be collected, figure that they'd
supply all the hospitals In town with
ice water baths for sunstruck patients.
Frozen into solid lump. if the entire
of these drippings could be collected,
| figure as ten-story building. Then
again, the waste when the cakes are
cut is enormous, to say nothing of
what vanishes into the air when the
ice is whisked clean with a brush
broom. But without going into further
details, ! think you'll agree that the
man who peddles fee has enough trou-
bic to worry him into an early grave.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
A Missouri Woman Suggests That
when II Becomes n State 1t Shall
BE Called Jcffe rson.

Mrs. Robert II. True, of Clinton. Mo-,
writes to the St. Louis Republic sug-
gesting that when the Indian territory
shall become Il state il be admitted to
the union under the name of jefferson.
She says:
II have made the suggestion to sev-
eral prominent citizens Of the terri
tory in my recent rip through that i'm
portant section, and they view the pro-
posed name of Jefferson with enthu-
siasm. They think it would be accept
able to the entire territory thus to hon
or the memory of Thomas jefferson.
under whose direction the Louisiana
purchase was made. Jefferson's name
is forever associated with the history
of the central state.
"Since the purchase of the original
territory of Louisiana in 1903, many
states have been formed, numbers of
which have been named for individuals
who have achieved greatness. No state
has been named in honor of Jefferson,
who opened and closed the negotiations
for the purchase. The only remaining
portion of the purchase in the union
is the part known as the Indian terri
tory. Progress will demand that
state be formed of this territory.
"The only opportunity of honoring
Jefferson by naming part of the orig
lnal purchase for him is in naming In
dian territory Jefferson when it is
made state"

"On the hand" his mother replied.
Master Chunk raised one cushion OF
hand to his head, and then, without the
slightest warning, he let up roar that
would have made the bull of Bashan
green with envy. All the way up TO
High street mamma was busy comfort
ing him. She had recalled painful
circumstance to him and he wept-
wept the more loudly since there was no
present pain to distract his attention.
And the woman across the car said
II he was her child he'd stop yelling or
she'd know the reason why.
