NOVEL TAXES.

A. couple of hundred years ago a very
extraordinary tax was levied on bache-
Tors at Eastman, in the state of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was there duly enacted
that every unmarried man should every
year so dong as he remained in that
condition kill half a dozen blackbirds
or three crows. In order to show that
he had discharged this obligation he
was mulcted in the tax of the heads Of
his feathered victims.
Not very long since 1t was seriously
proposed in this country to levy q tax
on heiresses who became the wives Of
foreign noblemen. A bill for that pur-
pose was introduced in the New York
legislature which provided that a duty
of per cent should be imposed ON the
dowry of any woman who married a
foreign nobleman in that state or
whose dowry was paid out OF the rev.
enues Of any property within its bound
aries. The proceeds of this novel tax
were to be devoted to the establishment
of manual training schools for females
and the provision and maintenance OF
homes for aged and destitute members
of the same sex. But, unfortunately
for those two very commendable OBJ
jects, this measure for the taxation of
impecunious noblemen's American
brides failed to become law.

by the beard of his grandfather that
some one should pay damages. He
waited to eat breakfast and then paid

DOWN WITH pIFFlcULrIEs.

You will nnd that the habit Of min
imizing annoyances or difficulties, of
making the best OF everything that
comes to you. of magnifying the pleas
ant and the agreeable and reducing to
the least possible importance every
thing that is disagreeable ana un-
pleasant win help you wonderfully not
only in your work, but also in your at
tainment of happiness.
1t transforms the disagreeabIe int
the agreeable. takes the drudgery out
of distastefuI tasks. eases the tolts Of
life wonderfully. and it is worth inf1n-
itely more than money. The sunny,
buoyant, cheerful soul manages, with
out losing his equilibrium, to glide over
difficulties and annoyances which throw
others off their balance and make them
miserable and disagreeable. BY the
alchemy of serenity he extracts from
the annoying rocks in his path the pre-
cious metal which enables him to d
something worth while.

position. Down below the maddened
crowd of disappointed political adver-
saries was sending up clamor de-
signed to confuse him and make him
lose his hold. His old enemies, re-en-
forced by an army of new ones, at
tempted to overcome him in the next
convention. He triumphed serenely.
This year they renewed the struggle,
and the battle resulted in the sensa
tionaI rupture of the Republican party
organization in the state. There were
tive rival conventions, a frantic ap-
peal to the national managers at Chi
oago, the courts Decision and the Bit
ter campaign, followed by q triumphant
vindication.
Be it remembered also that Govern
or La Follettes victory is not the une-
quail and inevitable triumph of intel
lect over forces superior only in num-
bers. From the very beginning of his
aggressive career the most brilliant and
the most cultivated men of his own
party have been arrayed against him.
At one with the radical governor in
party essentials, but dissenting widely
with him in his methods of dealing with
the people, Senator Spooner and Sena
tor Quarles, both intellectual and So
ciaI giants in the Republican ranks
long before La Toilette was known out
step by step every advance made by
the rising phantasm which all the
magic of their united influence could
not dispel.
In campaign Governor La Toilette
is an original and tireless worker.
Wherever he appears he attracts a
large personal following, and he is
careful to overlook no locality, however
remote. His Office becomes veritable
beehive of industry. BY personal let
tiers and printed documents ne reaches
great numbers of men of local influence
in all parts of the state. he is a man
of blameless reputation, strong ia his
likes and dislikes, and is termed by his
enemies dictator and declared to be
vindictive. He is eager to be the peo-
pies champion. His mind is aglow
with the ambition to do great things
for the public welfare, but he does not
permit his enthusiasm to overtop his
good judgment. Above all, he is pre-
ternaturally shrewd. He is by no
means averse to meeting the enemy
with his own tactics; when pitted
against La Toilette the children of
darkness must keep sharp lookout.
Governor La Toilette is forty-nine
years of age, but he seems much youn-
ger. Although he Is Wisconsin born,
his family was OF Huguenot extraction.

Pap Perkins, Postmaster, Tells of a
Hog Case.

Deacon Salathiel Green had been a
wfdower about ten months, and folks
had got it settled in their minds that
he would marry the widow Smallman
when his year of mourning was up,
when something occurred to Interrupt
the happy harmony between them and
shake Jericho to its very foundations.
Widow and widower owned adjoin-
ing houses and lots. and while the
deacon prided himself on his Early
Rose potatoes, the widow pointed with
pride to a big black hog she owned
and which had the run of the village.
That hog knew where the earliest
Early Rose potatoes were to be found,
and three times in one week he broke
into the deacon's garden and was
dubbed out
If the deacon hadn't been in love
with the widow Smallman he would
have given her notice after the first
time, and on the second broken the

&F|M%%%SRS@eA " TOILETTE of Wis
EE#k N@A consin, reelected gov
x$#..s ernor of the Badger
$E#@E WE$ State, is one of the
:.AAAs@ most striking and sig
$40 al, go nifcant personalities
in the American po-
liticaI world. The exponent of a spirit
deeply hostile to that which had domi-
mated in his state, he deliberately be-
came the central figure in one of the
most rancorous political quarrels ever
known in the history Of Wisconsin.
Governor La Toilette first came into
national prominence through his mill
tnnt advocacy of the substitution of di-
rect primaries for delegate conventions
for the nomination of candidates for
public Office. He maintained with a
viKor that not only made him a power
In the politics of his own state, but at
once made him known to the country at
large. that direct primaries would re-
store to the rank and file of the people
the control of nominations and destroy
the influence held by scheming politi-
clans and INSCRIPTIONS corporate in
terests over delegate conventions. An
other reform with which he soon be-
came actively identified was a new and
radical system of taxing railroads and
other corporate interests Both of
these measures nave become enlDOulSQ
IN the state law.
Aggressive performer that he is,
Governor La Toilette has shown him
self to be a leader of whom any state
or any party well may be proud. He
has the gift of oratory SO Enthusiastically
within his grasp that even his most i'm
placable enemy would be charmed into
listening. He possesses also supreme
courage, the most unyielding tenacity
of purpose and an almost fanatical be-
lief in himself and his principles. with
a. positive genius for political strategy,
a talent for organization that trans
forms former leaders into wondering
and adrniring followers and with the ir-
resistible force of man of destiny, a
man who follows his star without mis-
giving, Governor La Toilette is today a
firm footed and admirably equipped
traveller on the road which leads to su-
preme distinction-even, perhaps. to
the White House
Governor La Toilette is the first ma
tive of the Badger State to become it's
chief executive. He was born in 1855
in the little village of Primrose, Dane
county, a few miles from Madison, the
capital of Wisconsin. He was educated
within the county, being first a pupil of
the public school in his native village
and afterward a student at the Univer-
Hity of Wisconsin, from which he was
graduated in 1879 having paid his way

MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN

Richmond is without a crematory
today. Supt. w. A. Dunham was in
the cellar Of the crematory Saturday
afternoon and had fire in the furnace.
About 5 O'Clock he was surprised to
learn that his building was on fire,
having caught fire from the roof. An
alarm was sounded and the depart
ments were promptly on hand and
throwing water A large crowd of
people had congregated to witness
the destruction of the city's building
for destroying refuse gathered about
the city. The superstructure was of
wood and tin with a shingled roof
and the fire starting in the shingles
made rapid progress until there was
little left of the building, and by six
o clock there was only left the ruins.
What little furnishings the building
contained were destroyed, together
with the two phones There was little
injury to the machinery.
Mr.. Durham says he can not ac-
count for the fire as it caught from
the roof and burned down.

BULLETIN
OF THE STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH HAS BEEN ISSUED
FOR MARCH
TOTAL DEATHS $500
An Increase of Over 383 Over Febru-
ary-Diseases That Caused Most
Deaths.
TOTAL DEATHS $500

The monthly bulletin Of the State
Board of Health, of which DR.. Davis
is a member. has been received. 1t
gives the total number Of deaths for
Mch, '04, 1860 an increase Of 901 over
1908 and an increase of 1888 over Feb
ruary, 1904. Pneumonia alone ac-
counts for over one third the increase
in deaths, 75S succumbing to that dis
ease.
Deaths by ages-Under l year, $50 ;
l to 5 years, 31S; 5 to 10 years, 10S J.;
10 to Is years, 73; Is to 20. years,
1875; over IS, 1O49;. tuberculosis, ty-
phoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever, meas
les, pneumonia, influenza, cancer and
violence are the most important caus-
es Of death. The death rate for the
central sanitary section in which is
Wayne county, reported 1854 deaths.
This county was below the average as
to death rate.
The greatest trouble was with small
pox, many doctors failing to recognize
the disease as such and not until too
late was the real nature Of the dis
ease ascertained.
AT Etna Green the disease was I'M
recognized by any Of the physicians
Of the town, and even after the state
and county health officers had pro-
nounced the cases smallpox, the Etna
Green physicians still called it Gu
ban itch, and one insisted it was
"blood pimples.' The people became
very angry and would not admit that
smallpox existed at all. The neigh
boring town of Bourbon was accused
Of "getting up the scare in order to
get trade away from Etna Green.'
Indeed, all manner of foolish utter
ances were made.
