Wouldn't It Be Horrid ?

Is it necessary for a woman to tell her
ageI is Il question asked by the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
I A variety of opinions exist regarding
this delicate subject.
Il don't think there is particle of
necessity for a wOman'S telling her age,
says one woman, adding. hut it is equal
| ly useless for her not to tell it. There
| is always some one who knows il. and,
therefore, if you attempt to prevaricate
you are certain to be found out"
There is no reason, however, why Il
woman should 90 to the housetop and
proclaim To the world that she is 30
and glad Of it. Don't you do it. and
don't think you are old. No one nova

number of women returning themselves

She was quite right. twenty-five is Il
very prpper age at which to remain.
There Is no reason why woman

WANT THE MONEY NOW.
County Commissioners Are After the
Illinois Life.

The county commissioners have under
consideration the advisability of collect
ing the taxes of the Kansas Mutual Life
Insurance company at once.
The assessed valuation of the COM
pany was placed at SS4. 900. George Cole
appeared before the commissioners. .the
day before the sale was made to the
Illinois Mutual company and asked that
the assessed valuation be reduced to
S14 600 The commissioners refused to
make any reduction. The new Kansas
law gives the county commissioners the
right to collect the unpaid tax on mer-
chandise or a business concern when
the merchandise or the concern is to be
moved or sold. The commissioners may
construe this to refer to insurance com
panies and instead of waiting for the
tax to be paid next December will col
lect it at once.
