HE WASN'T
A Commercial Traveller who Didn't
Have Any Preference on
the Rond.

"Having travelled for so many years." be
said to the drummer who boosted of having
been on the road for Is years, Il suppose
you have come to think some one car in a
train is the ~safest?"
THE idea has never occurred to me" was
the reply, says the Chicago Daily News.
That's curious. l thought al men who
travelled had a preference for a certain car.
/ know a Chicago man who always takes
the first sleeper, and a Philadelphian who
wants a right-hand seat in the middle car,
or else he won't take that train"
81 have never heard Of such instances be-
fore"
"But you must realize that there is dan
ger!" persisted the questioner.
"Oh, yes; but l never think Of it. I get
a seat opposite a st~aving-looking woman, il
possible, do my best to render myself agree
| able, and leave the accident business to
Providence and the train dispatcher. My
line rather protects me, anyhow"
"And what line Of goods are you travel

CLOSENESS
q Cab and Was Afraid to Go
to Sleep Again.

There a good story told of Joung fel-
low here noted for his clio eness. He went
to spend the night with a friend. During
the entire night he betrayed much restless
ness, which kept the host wide awake, and
finally the slumberer betrayed signs OF vio-
lent emotion. Hes going TO have a night
mare" said the friend, but he always
grumbles so when you wake him up that
/ hate to disturb him." He waited awhile
longer, sittinc up in bed staring at the mis-
cradle sleeper, and, finally becoming
alarmed, ne reused him. He sprang up in
bed. slared wildly around and said:
"r 1ere am l? l don't see the Storm.
why, here in my room" said his host,
soothingly; you remember you stayed all
night with me? l beg your pardon for wax:
ing you up, but you carried on SO l had to-
beg your pardon" gasped the guest. u
shall never be grateful enough to you. l
dreamed l was out with Miss Bud and a ter
lible storm came up, and my shoes were
new, and l was just ordering a coupe for
two when you reused me. Old boy, YOU
have saved me a dollar"
And the host says he was actually afraid
to go to sleep again that night for fear h.
coupe would come, says the Louisville
TimeA.

both oil whom had just concluded unsuc-

spective states. .
whats the matter down in Mississippi
and out in Idaho?" some one asked Repre-
sentative Allen, that two such brilliant
men as you and Shoup do not seem to be
wanted in the senate?'
"Well now" drawled the Mississippian
of famous wit, idaho is a long. way off
and l can't tell you much about why Shoul
got left, but | can tell you about Missis
sppi; I know all about it," Then, in

Ridgely Lodge No. %, l. o. o. F.,
ownes a valuable lot in the town OF
Starkville, upon which it has erected a
valuable two-story brick building; the
first floor of said building is rented as
q s~torehouse at $500 per annum, and
the second floor or a part of it, is rented
as a dental office. The lodge claims
this property t o be exempt from tax
alton under Section 3744 A. c., which
(d) exempts all property, real or per-
%sonal, belonging to any charitable So
ciety, used exclusively for the purpose
of said society, and not for profit.
The exemption cannot be maintained;
it does not come within the letter of
the act. The property is used for profit,
and not for charity, and SO cannot be
exempt. 1t is said in argument that
the income is used for charity, and that
makes it the same in effect as if the
property itself was used for charity.
But that is not the letter of the law,
nor it's spirit.
A large part of the funds OF the So
ciety is paid for sick and burial benefits
to the members of the order, whether
rich or poor, and to this extent the
funds are not used for charity, and the
exemption could not be sustained, even
If the statute had exempted the prop
erty from taxation when the profits are
used exclusively for charity.
The property is subject to taxation.
