TWENTY-SEVEN CHILDREN
Kansas COIOred Man who Served HIS
Country We'll

Hutchinson, Kan. March 15.-James
Stewart. the old colored man who was
recently killed by Santa Fe train near
Sterling, leaves a remarkable family.
Stewart was married twice. His first
wifes maiden name was Mary Beard. By
this wife Stewart had thirteen children
by the time he had reached middle age
and was left a widower. With the super
stition of his race the god colored man
was troubled regarding that number thir-
teen, so he married Sarah Goss, and in
less than a year could count fourteen
pickannies without leaving his own house
There is no getting around the fact that
this was a large family, but it apears
that Stewart was still ambitious He
sang Down on the Shawnee River and
trotted upon his knee in turn exactly
thirteen more babies after the four
teenth child could walk. His second mar
rage was more fruitful by one crop than
his first, and James Stewart had been
blessed with a child for the twenty
seventh time when he celebrated his
sixty-hrst birthday. His youngest was
years old when the sire death occur
red by accident. The good coIored man
was always little 'juberous'' about odd
numbers and if he had lived his natural
lifetime it is not unreasonable to suppose
that his children would have numbered
twenty-eight Of his remarkable family
of children al are now living except four.

taxes and gives it as his opinion that it

apply simply to compromises made in the

The second section OF the bill provides
that the county clerk shall certify to the
auditor of the state the amount of the
proper proportion of state tax uncouected
upon compromises heretofore made and
so certify also within sixty days after a
compromise is hereafter made. In those
instances, reads the second section, for
which che county may be entitled to
credit under this act the counties shall
be credited with the amounts of the same
This seemingly specifies credit for past
accounts as well as future and opens
the way for construction allowing the
counties credit for large sum of com

the legislature is taken instead of its
