Big Profits.

The New York World states that the
Chicago Telephone company with cap
ital Of s5,ooo,ooo and market quotatio-
of $22s share, has just declared it,
quarterly dividend of 3 per cent in cash
and two semi annual stock dividends Of
10 per cent each at par, or S22 50 each
market value, making the total yearly
dividends equivalent to 81 per cent on
The par value of the cash capital. The
World says this dividend is earned by a
monopoly franchise, and it asks: 'ls
there any legitimate competitive private
business in the country which is carried
on with resultant profit of 81 per cen'
per annum on the investment" Ths
World also says that the Standard Oh

dividend on the basis of 80 per cen

That 10 to Say, There's no Law to Enforce
Tax Payments.
Judge Johnson of the district court Of
Arapahoe county rendered decision to
day in the case of Boulder county against
the Colorado & Southern Railroad CON-
pany. The acti was brought to COM
pei the company to pay $1,000 claimed
to be due, but which the company claim
ed was not due because of reduction
made by the state board of equalization.
Acting under advice of Colonel Lewis
Young. county attorney. the commission
ers and Treasurer Dobbins refused to
recognize the reduction as legal and
took proceedings to collect, asking tor a
lien on the company's property and re
ceiver. The court holds that there is no
law in Colorado by which taxes against
a railway company can be collected.
This decision will be a surprise tc
lawyers, if not to railroad men, them
selves. Indeed, the latter may hail it as
good news and proceed to dodge all their
taxes in the future.

the collapse was due to the removal OF a

and to the recent rains. 1t is not thought

Should | but try to tell thee

Should but try to tell thee
In painting, verse or song,
Why should fail?
And yet the sun and moon and stars
All else beside my love
Grows wan and pale.
| find no smile nor metaphor
BETTING thy fair face and form;
Nor yet thy glistening hair.
Thy eyes are deeper than the sum
mer seas,
Thy cheek doth make the roses
blush,
Thou art beyond compare.
There is no color, rich or rare enough
To tint thy beauteous face.
These fingers tremble so, for love
of thee
They could not draw
Thy form of matchless grace.
NV voice is harsh
And would discordant seem
When mixed with thine,
Which followeth me
Ever, night and day
A melody divine.
And thus, | am denied
The power to tell
OF what lies in my breast,
But there is always yearning,
For something sweet an0 true,
Can you not guess the rest?

Duryea Luncheon.
From Jackson Wing Of Sunday.


Mr.. and Mrs. III. B. Duryea gave
their annual "hunt luncheon" at
their magnificent hunting box at
Hickory Valley, Friday. In every
appurtenance the function was
both elaborate and elegant, and
done upon a scale of bounty-the
host and hostess dispensing NUM-
ficence of courtesy and opulence of
entertainment to the large number
invited. About two hundred men
composed of land owners and farm
ers in the county and few guests
from New York City, and about
ten ladies, mostly from adjacent
towns, constituted the guests.
The spread was laid in the mag
nificent barn, and royal feast it
was. Before the luncheon hour a
shooting match, at pigeons and
glass balls occurred. A large and
beautifully engraved cup bearing the
inscription 'EHardeman County
Cup, 1900" was offered by the gen
erous host to the best shot. Mr.. J.
NJ. Avent was the fortunate con-
testant to win the handsome award
and presented it later to Mrs. Leila
Morgan Murrell, Of Jackson, Tenn.
After luncheon perhaps a hundred
and fifty were mounted for the fox
chase. All started in high glee;
when a half mile from the lodge
they struck a warm trail and the
dogs, about forty in number, and
hunters were soon in full gallop.
Within fifteen minutes they jumped
grey fox who had not much longer
to live. The dogs were in full cry
land music they made too.) Mr..
Avent and Mrs. Duryea were lead
ing the hunters, who with several
good riders were in on the spot
to see the dogs catch renard on the
ground. But the sport did not
stop here. The hounds were started
again and in about two miles struck
cold trail, that kept them trailing
for one hour, when large old red
fox was jumped out of a brush
wood, that led them lively race
for another hour, but night came
on, and the dogs were whipped off.
The days sport was ended, every
body was tired, though happy and
revelling in the rapture of beautiful
memories.

We regret to learn that our old
friend, Mr.. Isaac Pirtle, ofthe 18th
district, was seriously hurt Thurs.
day of last week. After a heavy
rain, he went into the bottom on
horse back, to look after some
stock. A beech tree fell upon him,
breaking his leg above the knee,
dislocating the knee-cap, decorating
his hand and bruising his arm. His
horses leg was also broken, and the
animal fell upon him. For five
hours, Mr.. Pirtle remained where
he fell. Finally, by hallooing, he
attracted the attention of two of his
sons, who came to his relief. When
found, he was lowering over a few
sparks, kindled by splitting his sad
die stirrups everything else in reach
being water-soaked, shivering from
cold and suffering great pain from
his injuries. He was carried home
and physician was summoned as
quickly as possible. AT last ac-
counts, he was doing as we'll as
could be expected under the cir
cumstances. Mr.. Pirtle is about
so years of age, one of the pioneers
of Hardeman and gentleman of
honor and integrity. His many
friends hope that he will soon re-
cover.
