Live Stock Assessments

The assessors last year found A.
706,635 animals which were listed for
taxation at valuation of s16,740, 1854.
The Crop Reporter, government
publication issued "by authority of
the secretary of agriculture" for Feb
ruary, 1903, claims that there were,
of the same classes Of animals, T.
268.155, valued at $138,81a395, in Ne
braska on January /, 1903.
In view of the fact that in many
places the assessors list five rather
poor animals as four of average val
ue, the difference of 1851, $50 animals,
cannot be accounted for solely upon
the theory of the increase between
March, 1902, and December 81 of that
year.
Without considering the actual de-
crease or increase in number of these
animals assuming that no change
took place between assessment time
and when this government report was
dated--it is interesting to note that
the assessed valuation was almost ex-
actly IL per cent Of the government
valuation. Horses were assessed at
1913 per cent of the government val
uation; mules. los; cattle, 1874; sheep,
1913; and swine, 5.5. The following

France were made by NJ. Meline early
in the seventies and again in 1881,
but the attempts were unsuccessful;
ten years later, However, the demand
for higher rates. of duty became
stronger and Meline's party viewed
the plan with more favor. The method
OF having conventional tariffs with
the various countries with which
france had commercial intercourse
was the cause of much dissatisfaction
at the time, as. the investigation Of
the. superior council of commerce
showed. The existing treaties were
denounced and Meline's bill, after
some notifications, was adopted in
January, 1897 The underlying idea
OF the plan was that the legislative

would receive the rates of the mini

the difference between the maximum
and minimum rates as large as posi-
bic, SO that there would be a gain If

this bill also desired that the largest

STORY OF A CHILD BANK
When Father Came to Leave He Had
40 Money.

When Father Came to Leave He Had
No Money.
The bank belonged to the child, and
1t had all the interest of new toy.
In an effort to show the child how
1t worked and the object Of it, the
mother had sacrificed all her available
change, after which the child had
picked up few pennies that had been
carelessly left ON a table, and these
had followed the rest. Then she had
waited to make a financial assault on
her father.
Money" she said to him as soon as
he was settled in his favorite chair.
"Say she's beginning early" he
commented, laughingly.
"Oh, I've got a savings bank for her,
and she's been crazy to put money in
it all day." his wife explained.
"Well, as long as she puts it In the
hank it's safe" he remarked, as he
gave her a nickel
Her eyes sparkled and she laughed
SO joyously that he was enraptured
She was happy, graceful child, with
very pretty and captivating ways OF
expressing her pleasure.
THAT was worth more than q
Nickel" he laughed, as he gave hel
a dime.
But you mustn't humor her toe
much,' his wife cautioned.
"Oh, this Is in a good cause" he
urged, with the blind indulgence Of q
particularly proud father. Its teach
ing her to save money, and that's
something every child should learn. L
isn't like spending it, you know, which
would be wasteful."
So he gave her quarter, and in two
minutes he was laughing as JoyouslJ
as she was and getting as much fur
out Of her as she was out Of the bank
But after dinner it was different.
"By George" he exclaimed. "tht
banks got all my money, and I've go
to 60 uptown. I'll have to borrow som,
change from you"
"What little 1 had" she explained
"was used in showing Tottie what the
bank was for"
"Well, bill, then"

His blank look showed that he had

he said. "I've got to have som'
money"

and then they'll place the money i

He swore; not there in the house
but later. while he was taking nice

During the Incfenent Months

Group, capillary bronchitis, and ar
ticular rheumatism are the special
banes of childhood. These all alike re-
suit from catching cold.
One child catches cold and scares its
mother into Mysteries by having Group

Another child catches cold, develops
a stubborn cough that will not yield to
ordinary remedies. The parents are
filled with forbodings. ....
Still another child catches Geld and
develops that most fatal malady of chill
dren, capillary bronchitis. The doctor
is called, pronounces the case pneu-
monia, and if the child is lucky enough
to live it has developed weak lungs
from which it may never recover.
And yet another child catches cold
and articular rheumatism is the result.

As q matter Of prosaic fact, these

shocks Of black hair and their
swarthy faces mark them as unusual

These lads are intensely fond Of

who has seen them play must have
noticed the ferceness Of their tackling
and their fashion Of breaking out Of a
scrinmage on the rebound like 80
many rubber balls. In running, tack
ling and aggressive e-breaking the
Indians are unsurpassed.
Their weakness is an argument in

half dozen years he is fashioned into

with self-control and intelligence of g

and rave in moments of great stress

He is vindication both Of the whole

fishing thought to be modern were
known to ancients. We also learn
from Atheneus that several other writ
