WILL CHANGE TAX
ORDINANCE BUT LITTLE.

So far as can be ascertained, not
a single change has been decided for
the tax ordinance for 1905, except in
regard to the liquor dealers, which has
already been given.
The ordinance will be introduced and
read for the first time at the regular
meeting of Council Wednesday night.
During the last year there have been
few complaints about the present ordi-
nance and the chances are it will be
left just as it is, except the liquor

GRINNING MATCHES.
An Accepted Form of Sport In Early
EngIfsh Days.

An Accepted Form of Sport In EARLY
EngIish Days.
That grinning matches were an ac-
cepted form Of sport in early English
days is shown by an advertisement an
nouncing gold ring to be grinned for
by men on Oct 0 at the Swan, Coleshill
heath, In Warwickshire, which appear
ed in the Post-Boy of Sept. IL and IL,
I'LL, supplemented by the suggestion
that all the country fellows within ten
miles of the Swan should grin an hour
or two In their glasses every morning
In order to qualify themselves for this
extraordinary competition.
Addison gives a detailed account or
one of these &c >troversies OF faces"
telling us that the audience unanimous
ly bestowed the ring on cobbler, who
produced several new grins of his own
invention, having been used to CUT
faces for many years together over his
last"
His performance was something ike
this: "At the very first grin he cast ey-
cry human feature out Of his counte-
nance; Mt the second he simulated the
face of a spout, at the third that OF
baboon, at the fourth the head OF
bass viol and at the fifth a pair or nut
crackers" Addison adds that comely
wench, whom he had wooed in vain for
more than five years, was so charmed
with his grins that she married him the
following week, the cobbler using the
prize as his wedding ring.
Face Powder In Cuba.
In Cuba there has never apparently
been any dearth of face powder even
among the lowliest. The Cuban wom-
an, octogenarian as well as sweet sew
enteen," considers powder more neces-
sary article of the toilet than soap and
water and utterly indispensable to her
attractiveness, which 1t is her absolute
duty to preserve. All classes OF the
community are devoted to the powder
puff, from the little six-year-old orphan
In the asylum to the lady OF high de-
gree. In any Cuban school teachers
ard pupils are alike unsparingly pow
dered, and powder box IL to be found
in every desk and as likely as not keep
ing company with the chalk used for
the blackboard.

light enters through gauze panels, hand
laid with ivory figures.
A table and dish made Of highly pol

bamboo figures inlaid, are shown. The
work is so artistically done that each

one piece of wood.
There is also a large display Of Chi

other light material and some made of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and gauze are beau

Beaver Dam Brook.

When the town of Wesley. Me-, was
first settled n colony of beaver was
found on n small brook below where
the settlement was made. This brook
crosses the road leading from Machias
to Wesley, short distance before the,
town is reached. A dam many feet,
in length is constructed across the,
brook, making quite n large pond.
From this dam the brook received Its
name, and 1t has always been known
as the Beaver Dam brook. So perfect
ly was the dam constructed that 1t
has bacl ID up the waters Of the
stream for many years. and in ap-
pearance it has not materially changed.
1t is to be hoped that the present strin-
gent law which makes it illegal to
kill beaver at any time, may be in
strumental In bringing back this valu-
able animal, but such results can hard,
ly be expected.-Maine Woods.

An Execution Under Indian LAWS.
Daniel Davis was the name OF the
culprit, and Ire was condemned TO
death for the murder of his brother-in-
law. On the day of the execution his
coffin had been placed on two chairs
under big oak tree, which still stands
In the old courthouse yard In Coweta.
He requested them to let him see the
coffin, and he stood by its side, gaZed
sadly into 1t and said 1t was all right.
A chair was set at the head of the
coffin. He took his seat, pulled off his
boots and said he was ready. Captain
Childers, the sheriff, pinned small
blue ribbon on the lapel of Davis
vest over the heart. The prisoner
viewed all this with composure and
unconcern. Two men, one with
double barreled shotgun and the other
with n Spencer rifle, took their places
about twenty feet away. The COM
mand was given, ready, aim, fire! Both
shots were simultaneous. The blue
ribbon was hit, a convulsiye tremor
and poor Daniel Davis was no more.
Old men wept, and many were the
tears that We're shed for this poor full
blood Indian who had taken the life
of his erring brother-in-law.-Coweta
