with apologies)
The busy thoroughfare with people
teeming,
An autoist invaded one fine morn;
He was going forty miles an hour-no
warning
He gave, because mundane folks he
did scorn
The copper loudly shouted as the foot
Across the autos path his way did
make
'Twas useless! Foolish man. he dared
the monster;
His fragments up in baskets they did
take!
Now, out under the old apple tree,
A fine marble tombstone you'll see.
He thought that the street
Was a place for his feet,
But it wasn't-with that you'll agree!
For the auto would not "haw' or
gee
His soul from his body went free
And they laid him away,
For a year and a day,
In the shade of the old apple tree!
The auto snorted fiercely as a wagon
Came tearing thro' the street at
breakneck speed
The horse away was running, ana was
eager
To hit high places only, in his greed
He saw the auto, and he bucked it
bravely;
He didn't know twas loaded and for
fair
He tackled it, All, sadly they have
borne him
Out where the ground is broken and
is bare!
So, out under the old apple tree,
A ditch they have digged, where he
Is laid well away,
Till horse judgment day;
No more meat for fly or for flea.
That pony was foolishly free:
He thought that the street was for
he
He became quite too gay,
So he's put there to stay
In the shade of the old apple tree!

ADAMS AFTER TRUSTEES.

Hon, Writ Adams, State Revenue
Agent, has organized for a more eX-
tended crusade against the non-taX-
payers, or tax-dodgers, throughout
of the State. The class of delin-
Qucnts which give more trouble now
are those holding solvent securities
Many subtcrfuges have been resort
ed to by the holders of these sCcuri-
ties to oyadc the tax laws. In some
cases money has been leaned through
trustees for estates. These trustees
simply state that they do not own
the property and have no interest in
the mortgages negotiated in their
names, but the supreme court has
decided that every such trustee is
bound to answer the question put
by the assessors and reveal the names
Of the real owners. The revenue
agent has sent out circulars to the
various tax assessors calling their
attention to the violations and rcco-
mending a certain blank form Of in
terrogation which the trustees are
bound to answer under the law on
pain of contempt A disposition to
fight in some cases has been mani
tested, but the revenue agent is back
ed by the Susreme Court, which has
held that every person loaning money
as trustee or otherwise, must give
the name of the beneficiary when
called upon, or otherwise suit will
be instituted and such persons will
be sent tn jail contempt where they
refuse to diyulge. Mr.. Adams has
declared his intention Of making ev-
cry money-lender pay his just pro-
portion Of the burden Of government.

NATURES OWN REMEDY.

Out Of the multitudes Of theories
comes confusion there are some few
things, however, that we humans
may know and know that we know.
We know that sulphur fumes will
kill mosquitoes and that coal oil will
kill wiggle tails or mosquito larya,
but both Of these remedies are al
most annoying il not dangerous as
the insects.
The idea which we wish TO ad-
vance is the importation in the in
lccted districts Of mosquito hawks
to kill the mosquitoes and minnows
TO kill the larya.
Anyone smiling at these theories
will be reminded the government eX-
perts introduced a breed o. ants at
the expense of the department Of ag-
ricuIture to kill the boil wcevil in
Texas and from the fact that the wee
vii has not been heard Of to any eX-
tent since we infer that the ants must
have wiped out the generation.
Mosquito hawks could easily be
bred in sufficient numbers to supply
one for each foci or subfoci. These
could be trained to know the
stegomyia, culeX and the-other fell
lows that they need waste no en-
ergy in useless killing.
All fishermen know the hawks
iavorite amusement is to sit on cork
or fishing pole. Such simple pleas
ures could be supplied them SO they
would feel at home,
As to minn0wS. 1t would save a
million dollars this year if they were
used instead OF screening the els
terms in New Orleans alone. A few
minnows in each tank would not on
ly prevent mosquitoes from breeding
in such places but mould cause loss
Of life to the blood laden she mos
quitoes that try to put the drinking
waters Of New Orleans to such bad
uses. Thus instead Of making the
cisterns a death trap for the people,
they would become death traps for
the fever toxin laden mosquito. The
could be arsenied to pre-
vent their becoming infected .-Bi-

An exchange suggests that if you
hear anyone say that President Lin
coin was in favor of social equality
between the whites and blacks, or
that he would have done anything
to have promoted such a condition,
just call their attention to the ex-
tracts from two speeches he deliver
ed in 1854 and 1858 respectively:
October, l854.-"Free them and
make them socially and politically
equal to the white race My own
feelings would not admit of this; and
if mine would, we well know that
the mass Of white people will not;
therefore we cant make them equals"
August 1857, as Judge Doug
lass, am in favor Of the race that |
belong and its being superior have
never said anything to the contrary.
| have never been in favor Of bring
ing about social equality in any
way; ! have not and never will be
in favor Of making voters Or Jurors
Of negroes, nor Of them holding Of
flee. There is a physical difference
and while they do remain together,
there must be the position Of super
ior and inferior"

We do not understand how New
Orleans can rid herself Of the stego-
myia, by screening ciSterns and bar
rcls, when it is known that the sur
face Of the ground under all the old
houses in New Orleans are lower
than the yards and the streets which
have been filled, and the water stands
the year round under these houses.
New Orleans is also surrounded by
a dense marsh where the stcgomyia
breeds by thousands to the square
yard, and it only takes a little stiff
breeze from these marshes to fill the
city with mosquitoes. This view
may seem pessimistic, nevertheless

A CERTAIN newspaper man in Iowa
relates an experience that may shed
some light on the mail order
business. He was at the depot and
saw a farmer friend receive a set of
harness from Chicago. He explained
to the latter that he was making a
mistake, as many local dealers would
furnish him the same or better
goods just as cheap, and by
buying from them he would
keep the money and the profit
at home. ''But,,'' said the
farmer, this is the first time l knew
there was harness shop in this
town. I have taken your paper for
the past five years, and have never
seen line of advertising in it about
such an institution in all that time.
