Takoma Park Tax Law.--.Jad,

TakOma Park Tax Jadgs
Henderson, in the Circuit Court at thir
place, has handed down decision that sus-
tains the validity OF the Tskoms Park tax
law. It was In the case OF Mrs. Estella
Parsley and J. Robt Parsley against Frank
l.. Hewitt, suit to compel the specific per-
Torrance of a contract.
The facts In the case we're that Hewitt
agreed 10 purchase from Mrs. Parsley lot
at Takoma and made payment TO bind the
bargain. The question arising as to the
title not being good, owing TO some doubt
as To the constitutlonallty OF the tax law
under which the lot was formerly sold
Hewitt refused 10 take the lot. The suit
was instituted TO determine the constitu-
tionality Of the law, and was friendly one,
a number OF persons who hold property
bought at tax sales sharing the expense Of
the litigation.
Judge Henderson's opinion upholds the
validity of the act, and requires Hewitt 70
pay over the $500 agreed upon for the prop
erty. The case will be taken TO the Cour
OF Appeals 10 finally settle the mstter.

Escaped Freezing to Death Last
Tuesday was the day. The balmy Spring.
like days preceding inspired love for out
door enjoyment. The nurse of motherly
love gave her infant charge rein TO imbibe
the warm, reinv:c- srating drops Of heavenly
water falling to paddle bare foot, as 1t were,
in the swollen pools; to delight In It's
drenched garments from the splash Of the
water and the warm moisture on the skin
that gives life and growth TO the plant fam
lily. The climatic variation proved true TO
its God given nature. The rain ceased to
fall; the snow in Its symbolic purity Of
white succeeded In fake large and of pro-
fusion. Yet the infant remained deep rooted
in its comfort; though orphaned IL was,
its ancestry long lay mouldering in the soil
The snow continued, q gentle wind breezed
past Unnoticed, but not unloved, for that
passion was of higher excitement with the
infants sportive enjoyment, the nurse was
contending with burdens of mind next to
the glowing fire within doors. The wind
increasedDin velocity, 1t sighed, II soughed,
1t whistled, it howled. The cold keenness
kept pace with the wind. The snow came
from no one quarter, but from every quarter
commanded by the wind. The infant was
found perishing-snow covered. Warm in
halations were administered. Then nature
asserted Its freshness. First 1t was hope and
lat ,nA 4.
God, 1t lives-my aowerP
This allegory points to the variable wealth
or that we of this climate are now expert
enclng During the week the roads In this
county have been badly blocked b. snow
drifts, greatly interfering with travel and
the regular arrival and departure Of the
