Paying Delinquent Taxes.

If, during the next four years,
taxes, both delinquent and current,
are paid up as rapidly as they have
been during the past four years, Kan
sas will have q large balance in the
treasury. Frank Grimes, state
tire >-urer, issued statement show
ing that there is less than $4,000 in
delinquent taxes due the state, where
four years ago the amount was over
$a75,ooo. This large reduction is due
mainly to the law passed by the legis-
lature in 1899, providing that no
money should be paid for the care
of destitute insane to counties which
were in arrearages for taxes, but
that the amount due should be cred
tied upon the county's tax account.
AS result of the enforcement of
this rule $25o,Ooo in delinquent taxes
was collected. ST.

Have you any objection to Roswell,
Mr.. Jackson?"
The president sneered and walked
away, and Tuck, biting at the ends
of his blonde mustache, shuffied away
to the stables.
However, there were seven entries
announced and posted on the day
of the election, and everybody
laughed at the seventh, for it read:
Trigger Tail, ridden by Mr.. Jack
son." Even his friends guyed Tuck
a good deal, for he wasn't a horse
man at all and his stable consisted
of nothing better than spawned
hackney and half-broken polo pony.
They told him he'd make show OF
himself, but he paid no attention till
the other six entries, all full grown,
well groomed thoroughbreds, bearing
their proud owners, were saddled
and ready for the bell.
When it rang Tollivcr, splendid in
white duck, led the procession on
Posthorn, the favorite, the other five
prancing after him in true race

broncho, with tail like whisk-
broom, darted down to the judges

rider was Harry, the red-headed
midget, instead of Tuck, his giant
cousin.

when this vision dawned upon them
When Harry's weight-9O pounds
was posted they went round and laid
all kinds of odds on Trigger Tail
The women, who suspected nothing
serious in all this funny preparation

rider as if it was all a very fine joke

The big thoroughbreds fairly ran

down the narrow turn of the egg
