A TAX, CHANGE.

A bill is before the Minnesota legisla-
ture that provides for the assessing OF
coal companies in November instead OF
in May. The reason for this is obvi.
Gus. In May there is a comparatively
small amount OF coal in the hands OF
the coal companies in Minnesota,
while in November nearly the full
stock: is at the head Of the lakes. To
be sure the bulk Of this coal has prob
ably been contracted for. and it is
likely that much OF it has already been
assessed at the mines or on the eastern
shipping docks, but if this bill becomes
law, Minnesota will make the coal
companies pay larger taxes even if
they in turn take it out of the pockets
of the citizens of the State by adding
that much to the price of coal.-LuD1:

Association of the United Women Of
Maryland that a second contest has

the first contest touched upon the rab-

more than three hundred answers to
the question there was not one that
gave q final solution to the problem
And when experts were questioned they
too had to acknowledge that they
weren't perfectly sure why the rabbit
entertained himself that way. This year
the children are asked why cat has
whiskers, why a lion Is of q tawny col
or, how an elephant digs, where is an
oysters mouth, and dozens of others,
each calculated to develop the powers
of observation, or to cultivate the habit
of reading. Some of the questions We're

SATURDAY APRIL

on to an old hunter who had cut hole
in the ice, through which he was fish
ing for trout He was meeting with
great success, for scattered all around
him could be seen the speckled beau
ties where he had thrown them as he
took them off his hook. I was invited
to help myself, which invitation I
cheerfully accepted and ! proceeded to

1t was just 4.47 O'Clock when 7 re-
turned home that afternoon, tired and

took one of the largest of the trout and
placed it out in a large cold-storage
warehouse that stood near my house,
intending to present 1t to Uncle Sam
Carson for his breakfast the next
morning. The fish was forgotten and
as a result lay in that warehouse solid
ly frozen until June 10, 1884. Now, here
is the strange part of my story, which

this fish had been placed in the cold

the fire the fire department, in the effort
to save the property. had thrown suffi-
cient water to fill up the cellar, which
by the way, was walled up in rock and
cement, and was, therefore, water tight
Three years later it was decided to re-
build the cold-storage warehouse upon

were set to work pumping the water

PENSIONS,

| There are more pensioners on the rolls
now than at any other time in the his
tory Of the United States. There are
now 995,096 persons drawing pensions
from the government which is some
thing like 1900 more than the highest
previous record, in 1898, when there was
a total of 993,714 pensioners. Commits
sioner Evans thinks that the number Of
pensioners will go still higher, although
in his opinion 1t will not reach the L.
100000 mark under existing conditions.
He believes that by the end of the cur
rent fiscal year there will be something
like 995, 500 persons on the rolls, gain
of about 1000 over the record for last
year. At the end of the fiscal year 1900
there were 993,529 pensioners. At the
end of nine months of this fiscal year.
or ON April ], the total was 995, 096.
These figures disprove the predictions
that have been made by various author
tiles In the past that the pension roll
had reached the high water mark and
would gradually grow smaller. 1t is
likely that there would have been per-
manent decline had it not been for the
war with Spain. An examination of the
pension returns shows that claims
growing out of the recent war with
Spain are responsible for the latest
growth in the roll. During the nine
months Of this year 1854 pensions were
granted. ali char seabla 10 the Spanish
war. That is more than had been al
lowed altogether from the date of the
beginning of the war up to July last,
during which time 1,755 cases had gone
through.
This is generous country. No Won
