TAX RAiIWHV
NOT COMPLETED WHEN
ASSESSMENT WAS MADE

Pierre. 8. D.. Sept. 27.-While
the state board OF assessment
is given exclusive power of as
sessment Of railway property,
the extension OF the Milwaukee
west from Chamberlain was
only made on a portion OF the
trackage, as 1t was not COM
pleted the first day Of May. But
the Stanley county commission
ers evidently believe that the
company should pay taxes on
the value of the material which
they had placed in the county
up to the first Of May. and at
their late meeting fixed the as
sessment OF that line at $780,
600. 1t Is very likely that the
county will find itself facing a
law suit IL any attempt to coll
lect taxes on this assessment is
made.

A haggard-looking man strolled into

said he had trouble in getting sleep
when he retired. No matter how sleepy
he might be during the day or how
much sleep he might have lost the mo-
ment his head touched the pillow he
was wide awake and lay thus for sew
eral hours. Once asleep, he was hard
to waken, but he had to be up at a
certain hour, and in consequence of his
peculiar atlliction he was losing more
sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically a few moments and then re-
piled: my dear man, you don't want
medicine. What you want is some
thing to change the trend Of your
thoughts. Do as a friend Of mine did.
He was troubled the same way and

HE now has them at his tongues

Now he is starting on state capitals

at an atlas during the day shows him

the plan is that he rarely has to think
