Il see the Boss is opposed to indis.

Old Reporter, "and he is right, they
ought to discriminate. After q dog
loses his teeth or his midnight bowler
he should not be poisoned. But what's

by, a good dose? Of course it would
be better to give it to the owner of
every wicked and vicious dog, but
then you can't do that. Next to a
little child, there is nothing gets so
close to a mans heart as a good dog,
and the heartless wretch who would
poison a good dog, should BE- given a
diet OF epicac for dinner and croton
oil for supper. But speaking of that
Fourth street dog, they say the "hair
OF a dog is good for the bite" Now
this same dog took two bites out of
our innocent and uncombed friend
and shipbuilder, Cap. Monroe-and
l want to know if the hair of the
bitten wouldn't kill the dog, and if
one OF Caps uncut and luxurious locks
would not forever do that dog?"

Singular how quick Attorney Funk
takes hint. No sooner had the
thinking tube tapped his thinker and
put his thoughts into the STANDARD
than he was up in arms asking that
the 10000, or thereabouts omitted by
Mrs. Stuart from her assessment for
1901, be listed by the Treasurer, and
the efficient Treasurer and co-execu-
tor, Mr.. Phillips, reading over Section
81 OF the revenue law, must have said
to himself: "Yes, will have to list
it," The section is interesting. It
reads "If the County Treasurer has
reason to believe. as is inferred, that
any person has given to the Assessor
false statement of his personal proper
ty, - = or if it shall come to his
knowledge that there is property
which has not been listed for taxation
for the current year, he shall proceed

charge the owner of said property on
the tax list, with the proper amount
Of taxes, at the valuation of the year
or years omitted, rs near as the same
can be ascertained," and then follows
the authority to take proof.
How long was this SAC, QUO omitted?
Nice question in arithmetic.
