The Elbert County tribune., 1902-10-09

The supporters of the Bucklin single
tax bill seek to make it appear that the
adoption OF the amendment does not
change anything; that it simply makes
it possible for the people to vote on it at
subsequent election. That is Just it.
The Bucklin amendment makes it posi-
BILE for the non-land owning voter to vote
all the taxes on the owner Of the land.
In this state probably not more than one
voter in four is land owner, so what
show will the thrifty land owner, the
man who has worked hard and econo-
mized in order to secure little patch of
ground and home, have against the
greater number who as fast as they get
n dollar, spend it. The object of the
Bucklin bill is to force all the taxes for
sustaining the government on the land
owner, thereby confiscating his land, for
it will not be able to produce enough to
meet the tax bills.

rsvss silver weaasaw.

According TO a historian, this is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was In the time of Hugues
Caput. Two Of his most faithful serv.
ants, a man and a woman, had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-.
ward them?
Calling the woman. he said: Your
service 10 great. greater than the mans.
whose service Is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
q man. and therefore will give you a
reward. At your age know of none
better than a dowry and a husband
The dowry Is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs TO you. II this
man who has worked With you for five
aud twenty years IL willing TO marry
you, then the husband Is ready"
Your ma ajesty." said the old peasant
chow is it possible that we should mar
~, having already silver harsr'
, Then 1t shall be a silver wedding. :"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin OF the silver
wedding, a custom which, spreading all
through France. subsequently became
known 10 the world.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-06-03

One of the authors OF The Gar and
His People gives the following In
stance of Tolstoi's independence Of
thought and action:
General Lorls Melikoff bad been given
such unbounded power to act against
the nihilists that. as be said, he was
virtually created vice emperor. He
discovered in the course OF his official
Investigations that one OF the leading
nihllist chiefs was in the habit OF visit
ing Tolstoi, and one day Melikoff him
self went out to the novelist's country
house. Before the visitor had an
NOunced himself Tolstoi recognized
him and said:
You are Ioris Melikoff. DO you
come to see me officially or as a pri-
vate man? II you come officially, here
are my keys, Search. open everything,
You are free to do so"
II do not come officially" replied
Melikoff
Very good" answered ToIstoi. and,
calling two stalwart servants, he sa id
10 them. Throw this man out OF the
house,
The order was oheyed to the letter,
and Melikoff dared not seek redress.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-06-03
PoInta ON a Lobater.

A lobster Is found In the water but
not aIways-ln fact, some OF the most
successful Holsters that ever lObstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell lobster by its
actions. For Instance. II young man
enters n crowded drawing room aud
walks all over the feet OF the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be-
comes n lobster
The fathers OF Holsters usually have
money. In fact, it Is difficult to be
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
1t Is an odd fact that many girls
seem to admire Holsters. It would
seem that a girl ought to know better.
but she doesn't until she marrles u
lobster. Then she tumbles.
Lobsters have no brains. If you
don't believe 1t. split Holsters head
open with an AK IL you don't care anys
thing about the ak.
This world would be much moro
desirable abiding place If there were
40 lobsters in it.-Ohio State Journal.

An AstOnished Pasha and "a Lleuten-
ant who Won Promotion.

Mmt w no won brOmOttOns
Kassim Pasha when minister OF war
for Egypt was very particular in re-
gard to the personal appearance of his
officers and issued stringent orders
shat they should never appear un-
shaven in public, One day he met
upon the street "A lieutenant who had
bearded the pasha and dsregarded his
orders. TO what regiment do you be-
lougt" demanded the indignant minis
ter. "Io the -~- regiment, at AbaS-
scuh," replied the frightened lieuten-
ant. Get into my carriage at once so
that | can carry you to the encamp-
ment and have you publicly punished"
was the stern command which follow
ed,
The young man obeyed, and the
twain rode along gloomily enough for
Eumc time when the pasha stopped his
carriage and entered an Office where he
would be detained for some time on
business. Selling the opportunity. the
culprit sprang from the vehicle, darted
into neighboring BARRIERS stall and
rcSained his post before the return of
his jailer minus his beard. For the
