made a levy of so mills or s 1-5 cents
on each dollar of all assessed valua-
ton in the county at that time, for
the purpose of paying the judgment
above referred to, and which judg-
ments were made the basis for the
petition in the mandamus granted on
Tuesday by the court. The payment
of this levy made by the board, at
that time, has been refused by the
taxpayers, and has meyer been paid.
1t is held by lawyers that the fact of
the existence of the first levy should
be taken into consideration, and if the
levy ordered made by the mandamus
of Tuesday is to be paid, the levy
made in accordance with the Judgment
in October should be stricken from
the tax rolls. AS it now stands this
levy of s Is cents on the dollar is
valid, and stands on the tax rolls
against the taxable property of the
county located within it's limits then
and there.
On the other hand, it is alleged by
other attorneys that the levy just
made by the court vacated the levy
made by the county commissioners on
February Z, 1901, and is virtually
stricken from the tax rolls of that
year, 1t is said that it was the in
tention of the lawyers for complain
ants in this case to abandon the 1901
levy and that no objection will be
made by them, should this be done,
and ordered by the county commits
sioners.
1t is proposed by the county COM
m%issioners to lay these points before
the court, and to ask for relief ac-
cOrdingly.

SERMON MADE HER TIRED.
Forcible Protest Of 8 Young Woman
Against LongWinded Dis
courses

In the northwestern section Of this
city there is a young woman who as
a charmer of hearts is considered, by
no end OF folks, to be without a peer.
The suns of exactly three summers
have kissed her curly brown hair and
she rejoices in the more or less classic
name Of Gladys says the Washington
Star.
Recently Gladys was visitor at
the home Of her grandfather, who Is
well-known Baptist preacher In
Westmoreland county, Va, aud on one
Sunday during her sojourn compli-
mented the grandfather by attending
church with her grandmother to hear
the reverend gentleman discourse.
All went very we'll for awhile, until
Gladys became ldgety. She thought
a little while and then determined to
act. So leaving the pew In which she
sat she walked down the aisle and
took up a position directly in front Of
the altar rail-and there, to the sur
prise and CONSERVATION Of the whole
congregation, she made known that

is that Miss Gladys will be much older
before she again enjoys the felicity
Of attending her grandfather's church.

BRAZILIAN Servants.

Servants in Brazil refuse to sleep in
the houses where they are employed,
preferring to sleep at their own homes.
They are accustomed to leaving work
at about seven o'clock In the evening,
and no amount of urging will induce a
servant to return before seven or eight
O'Clock the following morning. As the
baker and the milkman make their
rounds in the early morning, it is the
custom to remove a pane of glass from
one of the kitchen windows. and through
this opening the family supplies are
dropped until the leisurely servant ar
rives to take charge Of the house. New
residents are apt to complain Of this
custom, but they soon make the discov-
cry that servants in Brazil are as i'm
portant as our own kitchen monarchs,
and the only alternative is to do ones
own Housekeeping.

THIS WAS CHEAP LIVING.
How Food and Drink for q Whole

Two Bits.

A Washington business man who re-
Gently made the interesting trip across
the continent to San Francisco. told
the Washington Star a good story
about a fellow OF the bum" fraternity
In the Golden Cato city who provided
himself with meals during the entire
year on q capita. of 80 cents. At
that time the gilded saloons n Frisco
put UP splendid free lunches. from
which impecunious customers could

In those days but little in the way
Of money smaller than a dime was

The imDecunious gent In question
found himself one morning the proud
possessor Of rs cents and q big
appetite. AS money had been
scarce article with him, he Gid con-
siderable thinking about the best way
to invest his pile with the largest
results
While contemplating and turning the
weighty financial problem over and
over In his mind. his wandering gaze
finally became conferred upon a gaud-

which announced that "big free

things ranged along the free lunch
counter.
There were cheese and sausage,
saeurkraut and Clipped potatoes, rye
bread and crackers, pickles and mus

In splendid humor. he sauntered forth
from the saloon and soon met a well

and said:
"Old fellow, have two short bits

AS Eve cents was practically An un-

as much as a full two bits.
Armed with his quarter, the schemer
waited until later In the day, and then
entered another saloon, purchased a
Ave cent glass OF beer, ate free lunch
galore, and. proceeding to the street,
met another acquaintance and ex-
changed his 20 cents for another two
bits which he retained for beer and
