The foxy man the card surveyed
To see what horses should be played.
He picked the first and then the second
And knew for sure when fortune beckon-
ed
He studied thoughtfully a table
Which showed the records of each stable
And figured out a line of dope
Which made a certainty of hope
There was 10 question of the third;
Breakdown would win. 1t was absurd
For all the rest to try to start;
He knew it from his little chart
The fourth was just as big a cinch;
He had it figured to an inch
Likewise the fifth also the last;
The winners We're as good as past
Now he can drive the bookies wild.
Like grabbing gumdrops from a child
Twill be when he invades the ring
And lays a bet on each sure thing.
But when out to the track he went
He didn't take along a cent.

State Taxes Again Remitted.

Last Monday, the governor,
secretary of state and state treas
urer, acting IS a state board for
the assessment of taxes, remitted
all of the state taxes for the year
1906, so there will be no tax levi,
ed for the support Of any of the
state institutions or state eXpen-
ses except the 1-mill school tax
and that is paid back to the coun-
ty in propo ,tion to the number of
children of school age in each
county. The amount of the state
tax remitted was $142,5 and
it includes a tax for interest on
state Indebtedness for free high
schools, for the graded schools,
for the university, the normal
schools and the capitol building
fund. .r,
When the state tax was remitt-
ed last year for the current'year,
the first time in the history of
Wisconsin, it was said and has
been claimed ever since, that ii
would be impossible to remit the
state tax again for another year.
This action of our state officials
ought to be a complete answer to
every charge of extravaganza
against the administration by
the Democrats and StalWaTts.
