STILL DOUBT
AS TO THE TAX ON POOL AND
BILLIARD TABLES.

Frankfort, Ky. June 22-Attorney
General Hays has given Auditor
Hager a written opinion holding that
the failure Of the general assembly to
incorporate in the revenue law Of
1000 the provision of the old law plac-
ing . tar OF ESQ and s20 on billiard
and pool tables does not invslidate
that old provision, but that 10 Is still
In effect and that the taxes or license
can be collected.
The discovery that the provision
had been left out of the revenue law
of 1909 was made only few days
since. IL was q part of the revenue
laws of 1885 and of 1899. but an over
sight was left out Of the law drafted
in 1902. The repeating clause Of tine
law Of 1909 repesls all acts in CON
fiict with II, but Attorney General
Hays does not think this repeal SEQ
ton Of the old law not referred to at
all in the new law. Thequestion will
likely go into the courts for adjudios.

The other day after tucking the
midday lunch under our belt where
it would do the most good, the writer
leaned back in the once easy chair.
tossed his feet upon the desk, let his
eyes study the ceiling while he in
dulged in a little calculation.
Just how long we sat there we are
at a loss to know. Finally our calcu-
Iations were disturbed by the en-
trance of a being: the form of a man
was before us: in his right hand he
held a sheet of paper, and the lips
of the man sDake unto us:

initials OF a county depository dag

hook and the messenger disappeared
as silently as he came.
But another raised the latch and
entered. We can almost hear his
rich baritone words yet: Here's the
copy for an ad. for you; give us as
good space as You can The nicely
curved letters "P. C. B." smiled Up
at US. and we knew it was from the
other county depository. Click

THE HOME NEWSPAPER.
Las Vegas Optic.

From Las Vegas Optic.
Some people don't seem to realize
that the newspaper is the principal
medium by which the outside world
gets it's impression and its informa-
ton of your town: that nine out of
every ten people who wish to locate
in a town for business or other rea-
sons and are unacGlainted with its
resources send first thing for a copy
of it's newspaper or newspapers; that
one of the objects which the newspa-
per never loses sight of, even for a
day, is exploiting and advertising the
town; that the businessman who re-
fuses to support the newspaper and
makes his daily bread from the town
which it is constantly working to
build up is a fair example of the COM
mercial parasite which infests every
community.

A Canoe Ride on Lake Erie.

During the summer of 1898. a
friend, Frank Lewis by name, and
myself, went to spend the vacation
with an uncle of mine. living in New
York. My uncle's farm was about
a quarter of a mile from the shore
Of Lake Erie. and it was while there
that had an adventure that I will
not soon forget.
Frank and l had beer in the habit
of rowing on the lake every moon
light night, and, though my uncle
told us that storms came up very
suddenly on Lake Erie. we had not
paid any attention to him. One
night we had rowed out farther than
usual, and as we were just starting
homeward the water began to ripple
and when we had fairly started the
wind was blowing a gale. The waves
were now mountain high, it seemed
to us. and when Frank made a mis-
stroke and | lost my oar, we were
up against it. SO to speak. We now
abandoned the struggle and turned
our entire attention TO keeping the
boat from caDsizing. We foated on
in suspense until dawn, when, in
stead of waves. the water had a
swift current and was turbid and
foamy. We could also see the shore
each side OF us. and when grad
ually we heard a roaring which grew
louder with every second, it dawned
