An exchange says: "Kill your dog and
buy pig with the dollar you save on
dog tax. The scraps you feed the dog
will make the pig weigh 800 pounds,
then you can sell it and give your wife
the money" Yes, kill your dear old
faithful, mindful, thankful, trustful dog
and buy pig. But when you come
home after hard days toll don't expect
that same pig to meet you two blocks
away with joyful little cry at every
jump. Sometimes when you feel unus-
ually blue and it seems as il the whole
world was knocking at you, don't expect
it to nestle up to your side and laying its
head within your lap, wag out its unal-
loyed sympathy. Don't expect it to for
sake its meal of scraps just for the priv
ilege of being your companion on lone
ly drive or walk. Don't expect it to do
any Of these "little things"-there's a
vast difference between your best friend
and pig.-Our Dumb Animals.

Denver Live stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept. TO-
There was liberal run of cattle on the
market during the last week and the
greater per cent OF them were Of good
quality, but on account OF the decline in
prices trading was inclined to bo little
slow. The greater per cent Of the offer
ings were feeder steers and COWS, but
trading on this class of cattle was not
overly lively and for the most part prices
ruled easier. The principal feature to
the market yesterday was the sale OF a
bunch Of over 200 head Of feeder steers,
which brought si.25. A few loads Of
good COWS sold as high as $500, while
the bulk sold at from $3.50 to s3.15. Of
ferings were liberal on COW stuff, and
while there was fair demand, prices
were very irregular, and in most cases
ruled about dime lower. Spectators
are none too eager to buy on account OF
the car famine, which seems to be pre-
vailing here. The outlook is for heavy
run Of cattle on the market for the re-
mainder Of the week, and no doubt prices
will seek lower level.
Hog receipts were more liberal the last
week than they have been for some time
but notwithstanding this fact prices
ruled fully ten cents higher, and strong
demand prevails for all kinds of hogs.
Buyers are taking everything that comes
in sight. Good heavy hogs are quoted at
about $40, while light packers are
worth about s7.65.

HOW IT WORKS.

The following from a recent Denver
daily illustrates the working OF our pres
ent general property tax:
"The widows mite, or more properly
the widows 1.-THE, was exacted even to
the last farthing from two petitioners
who appeared before the county commits
sioners yesterday forenoon. The county
board was loath to enforce the assess
ment, but the law was plain, and moth
ing of relief could be given them.
..Mrs. Caroline A. wegrich represented
that she made return to the assessor OF
an item Of 81 600. which was the sum re-
ceived from her husbands life Insurance.
This money Is drawing six per cent in
terest, she said, and my taxes amount to
three and one-third per cent OF the one
thousand dollars. She pleaded for a re-
duction to a fifty per cent basis of valua-
ton, but the law says otherwise, and the
commissioners had no alternative but to
deny her request.
"Mrs. Laura II. Petit represented that
she was guardian for her daughter, Rob
tA "a thtitt hEtd kths WIN ldu luutf
tied 81 600, the full amount of her fath-
er's insurance. She made similar re-
quest but the commissioners also denied
her petition"
To speak Of this as taking 1.-THE is
not accurate. A 1.-THE is one tenth, but
this is taking more than one half of the
income Of the widow and the orphan.
II any such tax were really collected on
any large part OF the money in Colorado,
such money would leave the state and
not come back till the rate Of interest
had risen sufficiently to cover the tax.
Not one tenth, probably much less than
one twentieth, Of the monies and credits
Of the state Of Colorado is represented
on the list Of the tax assessor. But a
helpless widow or orphan, or some man
who is so unusually conscientious as to
report all the money he has, will be com
PEELED to pay taxes. II these people had
put their money into land the assessor
would have valued it at from one third
to one half Of its full value. But as they
had reported it in dollars, it was taxed
in full This Of course is unjust, and to
escape such injustice the average citizen
feels justified in lying about his possess
ions. Such a state of affairs is not pc
culiar to Colorado, but is found wher-
ever general property tax is depended
upon for state and local purposes. FIJI.
Cooper Of Chicago, of the firm Of Siegel,
Cooper & Co., lately said: al recently
remarked to a friend of mine, who was
visiting Chicago, that there was one day
in the year when we respectable business
men all committed perjury. Bewildered
and startled at the remark, he asked me
what day of the year that was. / re-
piled; That is the day when we make
returns to the assessor respecting the
amount Of our property"
The Australasian Tax Amendment
gives Colorado chance to get away
from n system which puts premium on
perjury and Furnishes honesty and pub
lie spirit. -

The Hawk as a Nuisance .

At this season OF the year the hawks
are reapiDg a rich harvest, living as they
are on the farmers chickens. On an av-
erage each farmer loses through these
birds at least $500 worth OF chickens
each year, not counting the eggs these
chickens would have laid. The festive
coyote doesn't begin to do the mischief
that the hawk does, and II there were as
many chickens caught by coyotes as there
are by the hawks every ranchman would
be more than willing to pay bounty on
their scalps.
As the hawk family seems to be get
ting more numerous every year, it would,
/ believe, be a good idea for the county
commissioners to offer a bounty Of so
much per hawks head, the offer to stand
for two years, as by that time they would
be pretty well thinned out. / don't
think there is farmer in the county
who would not be willing to pay at least
51OO towards this movement. II the
farmers will interest themselves in this
question / think the county commission
crs will act favorably. FARMER

This Is the season of year when
the migrating instinct of human
kind breaks out In Its most violent
form. Doubtless there are many
families; so to speak, tumbling over
themselves to get out Of houses
that other families are as eager to
get into.
The streets were thronged today
with wagons ladened with house
hold goods, and to the employe of
the transfer companies the eight
hour day Is a joke. All over the
city the strenuous life Is Ia evil
dence. A stranger unfamiliar with
our ways would imagine that a
fair proportion of the population,
like the snails. carried their house
ho'd fleets about them wherever
they went
Toe truth Is not quite so bad AS
the appearance. The GRO vds who
are j ,stliug each other In the NOV
Ing bear no reasonable ratio to
those who are quietly staying
where they have been lodged for
years. The m ,vers are conspicuous
rather than of uuduly large num-
bers. They are enough. however,
to emphasize this annual outbreak
of human restlessness, and whether
wisely or not, they go. Moving has
been a trait of human character
since Adam moved from Eden, and
to the restlessness of the race Is. due
the discovery and settlement of
new worlds, and most of the pro
gress ard civilization that have
followed. For few days the dis
comforts will prompt the average
mover to declare that no further
fitting will be tolerated. That
resolution may hold good. IF 1t
does for one family 1t will not for
another, Eand the man who has
moving wagon will not lack for
business for few days hence at
least. While the distant 6e Ids look
green the unknown house will look
slluring. Hence, In flying from the
evils we have we overlook those
that are prospective.
