passing diagonally through the body.

delinquent. He could have collected
under the law four per cent penalty on
the delinquent list but as the law mad
been made for his benefit and not fer
the benefit of the taxpayers, he de-
cided to accept taxes without the PEN
atty until he got to making up the de-
linquent list. Therefore, all week he
took in taxes without the penalty. AL
together he collected about $7OGcO that
way. his commission WOull nave
amounted TO $500. On Saturday night
the time had come when he cou'd no
longer favor the delinquents and h"
began 10 put on the penalty.
