BACK TAX ASSESSMENTS.

The matter of the collection of
back taxes on the private car lines
operating in Arkansas, which was
brought up by Gov. Davis at the meet
ing of the assessment board Thurs
day. will probably be settled without
much difficulty. Attorney General
Rogers, who had entered suits in the
chancery court on behalf of the state
for the collection of these back taxes,
stated that nc arrangements had yet
been competed with any of the COM
panies, but negotiations were under
way to secure an agreement as to the
number of cars in use as basis for
assessment. These agreements will be
submitted to the beard for action. The
method of collection has not been dis
cussed The attorney general stated
that there was an agreement between
himself and Chancellor Hart that all
cases should be referred to the beard
for action.

TO MAKE MINT JUlIP,

There is mint julep belt, if not a
mint julip trust and all Americans
will be glad to know that the prom
ise for mint julep" month, which is
May, is good in Virginia, the home
and the center CT popularity of this
invigorating beverage, says the New
York Sun.
The mint is sprouting well. The
leaves are green the stems are
strong, the aroma is refreshing. The
mint used and required for the veri-
table, the all American julep, the
promoter of cordiality, the restorer
Of harmony and the drink Of the
roadside lodge Or homestead
mint which grows wild and unkept on
moist waste places That is the
Mentha virdis of the botanist, not the
true mint Of the Virginian connois-
seur of summer beverages. The
real, geunine authentic Southern gar
den mint fourishes under the south
wall, where the white fingers of
Southern maids or matrons each day
in May pluck few sprays Of the aro-
matte leaves to build the foundation
for a julep for the statesman in

ously rejected in Virginia that bran
dy should be used in the making Of
mint juleps and that whisky is net a
fair substitute. In Georgia peach
brandy is used, hat Virginia, not
Georgia, is the julep state. Whisky
and mint come from the same regions,
from the same districts, almost from
the same fields A julep of brandy
ray be recognized as standard
drink, but it lacks the palatable fea-
lures of the whisky julep and especi-
ally the Virginia glow which no de
coction of brandy can replace.

the participants did not seem at all

of the play was the entirely amicable

Another game inaugurated by DR..

PANTS AND TAILS.

There's one funny thing about
dogs" said Mr.. Albert D. Prentiss, of
Chicago, at the Hotel Joyce, and
that is that you never saw one pant
and wag his tail at the same time"
Carriage and Murphy admitted that
they didn't remember ever having
seen dog violate the stated rule.
"a dog" said Mr.. Prentiss, sis not
capable of a double emotion. He
can't growl and wag his tail. 1t is
impossible for him to be mad at one
end and hcspitable at the other. If
a dog is oyerjoyed to see his master
he will bark and wag his tail: if he
wants to get into the house he will
paw at the door, whine and wag his
tail, but they are all symptoms of the
Cne emotion. But if his master opens
the door he will Immediately cease
to show anxiety by whining and will
resort only to the tail method of ex-
pressing his feelings. Watch mans S
eye to judge his temper. watch a dogs
tail to get the state of his mind
"But what's that got to do with the
price of prunes?' asked Carriage.
Nothing whatever" said Mr.. Prem

Marketing Potato Crops

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile Of the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest OF the
localities which it serves
A main dependence of the farmers Of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels. which find a market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions OF New England.
The competition of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put Of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago fayoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. To help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every reachable market, even carry
ing them in large quantities to a place
so remote as Boston. The Aroostook
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate. which 1t did. By means of these
low rates, making possible low prices,
the potato crops Of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ev-
erybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times. to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered a
decrease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental adj
justment such radical and prompt ac-
ton could never have been taken, be-
cause it is well established that If a
rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proceed
ure If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
ration they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany

HOW TO WIN SUCCESS
Governor Douglas of Massachusetts
Gives Advice to Boys.


Governor Douglas of Massachusetts
Gives Advice to Boys.
From place at the cobbler's bench
at mere pittanee, William L. Douglas
has risen to the highest executive po
sition- in the State of Massachusetts,
that Of Governor, and has made him
self a millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts Of success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American
The Governor Is interested in boys
and declares that these rules are given
for the benefit of boys. The Governor
says:
Recently, in talking to delegation OF
bright-faced boys, l told them that they
should. in order to make the most of life
obey the old maxim, "Stick to your last. "
Ii you don't you'll find that old ogre
called trouble. bobbing up in your path
way every now and then, and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms With
success Fortune, You know, favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is the one with courage
enough to stick to his last" in the face
OF early rebuffs and temporary reyerses
He's the fellow who will eventually be
able to laugh at trouble and to get chum-
my with success. What would you think
of shoemaker who, after making part
OF shoe on one last, became dissatis.
fed and started another shoe on a diff.
ferent last. keeping up this method untH
ne had finally spent all his money fol
stock and had nothing but lot of half
finished shoes to show for 1t. Foolish
way to do, isn't it? But it's no more
foolish than for a young man to tackle
a new line of business every little while
until he grows too old to learn any bust.
ness thoroughly.
Everything in nature is fitted to do ons
thing well and spends its whole life do
ing 1t. You never hear of the ant going
into the honey-making business; nor OF
the bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows its place in the world
and sticks to it. and that is what boys
must do if they would accomplish great
things. Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something
and if that aptitude is properly devel
oDed the process of selecting last Is
simpli6ed. And remember always to
keep Jour ambition up to the top notch.
Whatever you do, try to do it better
than the other fellow. At school make
it point to stand at the head of your
class: and at play don't be satisfied until
you can jump the farthest or throw the
straightest. Then when you enter bust
ness life this matter of getting ahead
will become a habit.
Now another thing to think about Is
this: Don't try to do what you like-dc
what you can. That's good compan
lon piece for 'stick to your last" Don't
let the attraction of something you don't
know lure you away from the thing you
do. Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom.
