Price For a Kiss.
Young Wan Had IN Excel ent
Chance to Blu. a Dog.

A handsome bachelor of Balti-
more, well known in social and
educational circles acknowledges
the truth of the following story:
He was driving with pretty
and attractive young woman when
on the outskirts of the city they
met lad of about twelve wears
leading by q chain singularly
ugly but fuely bred bull terrier.
The pretty girl went into raptures
over the dog, and her escort de-
termined the animal should be
hers.
"Say, sonny" he called,
"what will you take for your
dogH'
"Nawthing," replied the lad
"Nonsense!" cried Mi. Blank
III: 80 for him.
"No, | won't. This here dog
amt for SALE"
"Ten, said Mr.. Blank, and
then growing desperate, "fifteen,
twen,l." But the owner still re.
fused.
All the time TIL conversation
was going on the youth, although
talking to the man in the buggy,
kept lis eyes fixed on the other
occupant of the vehicle, and at
last he said eraveIy:
81 don't want your money, but
if you'll just give that lady there
a kiss you may have the dog
Mr.. Blank was speechless. He
stared at the boy an instant and
then put the whip to his horse,
starting him off at run.
The story goes that q mile was
gone over without word being
spoken, when as the horses rapid
gait became slower as it turned
down a country lane the pretty
girl turned ever so slightly and
said shyly, ooh, Mr.. Blank, why
didn't you buy that dog?"-Bal-
timore Sun.

tion of the Board of County Com
missioners of Custer county prac-
tically nulify the law passed by
the legislature two years ago
providing for the taxation Of
mines Was it because they
honestly believe the mines of
Custer county are not worth
more than 5000 per patented
claim ? Did some one have so
little regard for his reputation
for truth and veracity as to make
sworn affidavit that the actual
cash value of the patented mines
of this county is not more than
5000, or is the county so rich
that it can afford to make such
magnificent presents ?
1--WE cannot understand how
men can so fiagrantly violate a
sacred trust reposed in them by
the people; we do not see how
they can possibly justify even
their own consciences, for so long
as that law remains upon our
statute books, it is their duty to
see that mines are assessed at
their actual cash value, as much
as it is to see that real estate or
any other class of property is
assessed. In some cases they
may justify themselves on the
grounds that it has never been
proven that certain mines are
worth anything, but even that
argument does not privilege
them to take the poorest mine in
the county as a basis for valua-
ton and reduce the best mines tc
it. There would be more wisdom
in assessing town real estate al
so much per acre, and ther
search out the poorest farm il
the county to fix a valuation or
it. Thirty dollars an acre, says
MCGOWAN and Treloar, is tht
actual cash value of the patented
mines of Custer county. Y,
