WHITE VOTERS PAY POLL TAX Very Few Will Be Dis
 franChiSed. BOOKS CLOSED YESTERDAY Total Number Qualified to Vote Probably 5000. Office of Tax Collector Was Kept Open Until O'clock Last Night. Results Very Gratifying to
 Clrlzeus of Montgomery
 County.

last night at o'clock the poll tax ,,rrc limit expired and it was found that Ian, fcw white men of Montgomery Coun- ,, had disfranchiscd themselves by re- fusing to pay this tax. The large pay mcnt is altogether gratifying to county officials and to Democratic leaders. Deputy Collector Teaslcy said last night that he believed that the poll tax pay ments in Montgomery County has been practically unanimous. Very few white men had wilfully disfranchised them selves.
 When the doors of Tax Collector Halls office was closed last night 2,j4S voters have paid their poll tax. This did nor entirely complete the lists as several danutv collectors who had been working in the country had not turned in their collections. These lists not yet recorded. if is estimated. will increase the total by o5o In this way the paid lists will figure up to 2.7oo,
 The paid list will be greatly augmented ,.,' the large number of voters who are oxo1,nt The exempt voters uf Mont ,-orncry County will number fully 250o, Voters are exempt for three reasons. members of the National Guard. men

who are over 45 years of age and trustees of townships do not have to pay poll tax The total of at least 5000 is regarded as very gratifying showing for Montgom- cry County.
 The friends of the new constitution are also pleased over the extremely small number of negroes who made themselves eligible for the registration list so far as paying the poll tax went. Deputy Col lector Teasly estimates that not more than 300 negroes are in the list of men who paid poll tax. If every negro who paid the tax was eligible the entire black vote would cut no figure at all in a Montgomery County election. However, 1t does not follow that the negro who has paid his poll tax will meet the other requirements of the new constitution.
 Yesterday there was no great rush ot poll tax payers. Still steady stream of men went in the Collectors office throughout the day. The city collectors, Messrs Taylor and Blue, had a good day They rounded it up and collected from a large number of voters who would otherwise have been dsfranchised by their own indifferencc.

 DAILY SHORT STORY
:: Lean your head on my shoul- !: der, daddy; {: Turn your face ot the West


 Christmas Eve in Bohemia. It was gala night at Silvio's restaurant. out side was darkness, snow and biting wind. Inside was warmth. color, gay ety. The room was crowded the ar heavy with tobacc2 smoke. and renolent of the odors of California and Italian wines. Gas light lent its giamors. music its witchery, and wine it's intoxication to the function. An itinerant orchestra, consisting of a wheezy old celia. battered harp. and a violin played ''rhe Angels Serenade." but the music had no appre- ciable effect upon the revelerg. Upon the walls were pictures of the old-time habi- tues of the place-an Arctic explorer, an artist, famous newspaper corrc- spondent, some now dead. some bauished bv circumstances to other resorts thou sands of miles away. A young woman from Denver, a bride of only few weeks. palpitating with delight at being permitted to visit such a delightful place said to her escort:
 But who are all these people? Point me out some Of the nota bles. Who is that hawk-faced man over there?
 She pointed to lean-jawed black browed fellow. who was reciting poetry to dozen admiring listeners.
 "Oh," was the reply. s.that Is the Me- phistopheles of Bohemia! He has crossed Spain on foot and spent three years in the Latin quarter in Paris. He speaks five languages fuently and paints pie How charmingly romantic! What Is the man pulling out of his cigar What queer cigars they have here."
 "Yes That is a Garibaldi. He Is pull ing a straw out of the cigar. It IS made from the cheapest kind of tobacco but the Bohemians like them No tobacco Is too rank for the BohemianV.
 The door opened admitting an eddying gust of snow and man muff1ed in q heavy overcoat. He was saluted by a dozen voices.
 Hello. Jim, When did you get in''
 The arrival, a handsome man with black beard. replied:
 Just in this afternoon on the Majestic. Rough passage. Two life boats carried away off Newfoundlsnu. I hope they'll give me a chance to rest now. I'm just starving for dish of Silvio's spaghetti" A cab drove up to the door and Il young Wall Street curb broker llirched playing his evening clothes. He stood in the middle of the room with his silk hat on tho back of his head. crying:
 Everybody have a drink with me! Nebiola. sparkling Nebiola! One eve of beauty. when the sun was on the stream of Guadalquiver! Be good, and you will be curiosity !Hoorah! I'll give you the toast of the Vampire Club:
 All care to the winds we merrily fling. For the damp. cold grave Is a dead sure
