C pretty little Irish girl is told in
Dublin. Several visitors were ex-
ploring the famous castle and or
reaching the TOP became somewhat
nervous owing to the great height.
Presently ii young man appeared
and, being a stranger, asked to have
the real Barney stone pointed out
to him that he might follow the an
cient custom and kiss the ancient
relic.
This process of kissing the stone
is rather dangerous one, and the
young woman in her nervous state
not caring to have the feat attempt
ed in her presence, exclaimed, ooh,
please don't kiss the stone while ]
am herep'
The stranger, it is limited, polite
ly acceded to her request, but not

THE BEGGAR WON.

When a beggar asked a Philadel-
phia sta,ioner one day for help the
latter offered him two lead pencils,
saying, with half the effort re-
quired in begging you can easily sell
these for cents apiece"
The beggar gazed at the pencils

the grimy features of the mendicant.
"Here you are, them" he said.

utes to recover his breath, but he
finally entered into the deal, and
hereafter he will adopt other tactics.

Won Moltke'S Reticence.

Moltke's reticence was SO pro-
verbal that as the kings birthdays
approached there used to be bets
among the officers Of the general
staff as to how many words Moltke
would use in proposing the toast of
the day. Some backed a nine word
speech, and others put their money
on eight words. Aoltke's habit was
to say, "'To the health Of his majes-
ty, emperor and king" or, ''To his
imperial majesty's health"
In 1884 an oyster breakfast was
staked on the marshaPs not using
more than nine words. But because
he began with the word gentle
men" the bet was lost. The loser
comforted himself by saying, "He's
aging, is Moltke; he's getting loqua-

The A hiaLd & Siskiwit logging
railroad is hing of the past, and
at Nash great stacks of steel tak' n

ment to the purchasers. The entire
amount of rail has been bought by
the Wolverine Oil Company, OF Man

Judge Bum, ia the United States
court, has dismissed the action
brought by Nye, jerks e Company
TO restrain the assessment Of their
grain in this city, giving it as his
opinion that the remedy of the com
pany is not through the process OF
INJUNCTION, b ut that they should first
pay their tax, and then sue to re-
cover if they have been Illegally as
sessed. The action was brought be-
fore the federal court on technical
grounds and the decision is such that
it must now be brought in the regu
lar way which will mean that the
question must come up on its merits.
During the past week the board of
review at Superior has caused the
grain in the elevators there to be
placed upon tbs rolls, and the two
cities, Washourn and Superior, will
now go ahead to test the question as
to whether the grain is taxable.
The claim of the elevator people
is that the grain is simply stored in
transit, and that under the constitu-
tion and the interstate commerce
acts is not assessable. The conten-
ton of the municipalities is that the
grain is the actual property of the
elevator people or held by them in
trust. and that it is insured in their
names while in the elevators, and is
therefore as subject to taxation
as would be lumoer or any other
commodity. It seems to be acknow
lodged anon G those informed regard
ing the matter that the question is
very close one, and the town evil
IDENTIFY has an idea that there is
sufficient ground to believe the pro-
perty taxable to risk a suit upon the
ques ton. On the other hand the
elevator people are just as positive
Of their contention that it is simply
held in transit and will resist the
assessment or payment of taxes.
