The Suburban Whirl" BY Mary Stew
art Cutting. The Mcclure Co, New York.
Mrs. Cutting has originated a fiction field
of her own, that of the American home,
and particularly Of the domestic relations
Of the MAJ and wife of moderate means,
who five in suburban places. OF such peo-
pie she writes with great sympathy and
knowledge. The characters that people her
pages are such as we all know. There is
much in each one of her stories that re-
minds us of homes that have come closely
under personal observation. The struggles
to keep up appearances, the little upsets
and triumphs In the home life of the mid
die class American, are treated with
humor and tender sentiment. To the COM
monplace events that make mp existence In
suburban towns, the little social affairs of
the neighborhood, the husbands worries in
the Office in the city, the household problems
of bill-paying and servants and babies,
Mrs. Cutting is able to lend a surprising
amount of interest. Where most fiction
writer's concern themselves with love sto-
rles that end with marriage, Mrs. Cutting
gives lis love stories that begin with mar
riage. Best of all about her books is the
note of optimism in them, One reads them
and Eliminates rejuicingly over the thought
that the honest faith and sympathy that
sweeten the home life Of which she writes
are really representative of American mar
riages. Sometimes, il one reads the news
papers, such a reminder is heaIthful.
The present book is made up of four
stories. one rather lengthy aud particularly
charming from which the book takes it's
name, and all of them characteristic Mrs.
Cutting is also author Of Little Stories of
Married Life" Magazine readers are fa-
miliar with a good part of all her work.

Judge who would preside over the
trial carried an annual pass over
the defendants railroad lines.
This information worried the soil
tiller. He thought about it by
day and cogitated over it by
night. He figured that the annu-
al pass was worth about $500 a
year to the Judge. He had conf
dence in the Judge, but little in
the railroad, and he pondered
the query in his mind, why the
railroad gave the judge $500 a
year for nothing. He finally con
cluded that the railroad must
know what it was about, and he
sat down and wrote the Judge
the following letter:
Dear Judge: | am told that
you carry an annual pass over
the Burlington. AS near as |
can figure it, this pass is worth
to you about $500 IA year. | don't
believe this will influence you in
favor of the railroad and against
mo in NV case hut to hp on an
equal footing with the railroad |
enclose my check for $500. | do
not do this to influence your de

you to retain my check. But if

turn the railroad pass. If you

Cream was served at 7:30 in a
spacious dining room which was
prettily decorated with cut flow
ers and evergreens. The quality
of both the cream and lemonade
was fully manifested in the guam
tity that was used. And we
know that the appreciation was
perfectly demonstrated by the
mingling of merry voices and the
many peals of laughter that was
heard during the evening.
The music furnished by Willie
McClain on his graphophone was
very much enjoyed. And the in
strumental music furnished by
Miss Mary Hitchcock was great
ly appreciated for which all pres
ent were indeed grateful to them
both.

excellent people, ones who are
always striving to help their
community in every way possi-
bic. They also have the pleasure
and welfare of our young people
at heart and it was for this that
this supper was given.
The proceeds of the evening
amounted to S25 and will be do
mated to the Hoffman school

A Square Tax Deal.

"Old Williamson" one of the
richest counties in the State, un-
der the spur Of conscience awak-
ened by Capt. Mcdonald, con
cluded this spring to follow his
ruling, in part at least. Now she
seems to have repented thereof
as the following from the Will
liamsom County Sun would evi-
dence:
1t is understood that the com
miSSiOnerS court of this county
will reduce the valuations on
town property to last years fig
ures and on black land to S25 to
$50 per acre. This is on the
ground that Williamson county
shall not pay an undue proper
ton of State taxes, which is all
well enough in its way; but should
not the same consideration be ex-
tended to all the property inter
ests in the county? If the land
owner is allowed to render his
property at one-third ofits value,
should not the owner of town lots
and buildings be permitted to do
the same? And should not the
poSsesSor of cash or stocks or
other property be extended the
same consideration? The people
should demand and should have
a square deal in this matter of
taxation.
In citing the fact that the land
is to be reduced to its old time
tax list tigures-about One-third
of its true value-the Sun peril
nently asks why cash and other
property should not be extend
ed the same considerations"
1t should, if we are to have
what the State Constitution guar
antees-a square tax deal.

Austin, Texas. Oct The rail
read commission OF Texas has now
undertaken to keep out of The news
papers its daily doings
This statement Is rather broad,
but no more sweeping than It's order
issued yesterday and signed by the
three commissioners giving notice
to all Of the employees OF the COM
mission that IL any one of them
give any item or news story origin
ating in the department to any
newspaper reporter he will be dis
charged
1t further says that the commits
sioners themselves will give out all
news TO the correspondents
The commissioners themselves
frequently forget the Importance Of
an Item and fail to give out news
which is, really Of statewide inter
est, and more frequently stin. one
or more OF the commissioners are
out of the city and sometimes all
three of them are away on business
or pleasure at the same time.
It is really seldom that all three
are in their offices at the same time
except on dates of monthly hearings
and even then it is not always that
the three are in attendance.
There is a secretary, the expert
rate clerk, the auditor and others,
all of whom frequently have little
items Of interest which they have
been in the habit of giving to the
newspapers.
| Now, they are forbidden to give
out anything. Why? Because the
commission in it's attempt to file
suits against fourteen railroads
slipped up and the railroads got
ahead of them and filed suit pray
ing for an injunction restraining the
commission from enforcing its or
ders which the commission wante'
to bring suit against the railroad
for not obeylnS.
The commission prepared it's com

The attorney general was ont of

general, Pollard. who has charge Of
the railroad commission litigation
in the courts, was sick in bed. Con-
sequently the suits were not filed
last Friday as they should have been
and Monday the railroad took advan-
tage of the situation and filed petit
ton for injunction proceedings.
The Austin correspondents of the
state papers are united in the opin
ion that the commission has issued
an unfair order and one which was
not at all necessary.
This is the first step taken by any
department in Texas to suppress the
