TAXPAYER FEELS HIS DIGNITY.
Effect Of Ownership Of Property 10 70
Make Better Citizen.

MANY time" said . policeman in
the southern part Of the city, when
arresting men, especially intoxicated
men, l have been told by my prisoner
that he was taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
II always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken insolence. and
about year ago, when l bought .
house and lot and became myself .
taxpayer. l had always rented be-
fore and never gave q thought to
taxes but as soon as I moved into my
own house l began to appreciate the
feelings of the men who resented ar
rest because they paid taxes. There
Is certainly considerable addition to
the dignity Of the man who helps sup
port the government. He feels = de-
gree of responsibility that . renter or
roomer never understands. and my
idea is that every man in the country
ought to become taxpayer as soon
as he can, and the mere fact that he
does help to support the government
and bears his share Of the expense,
makes him a better citizen. Habitu-
al criminals, excepting, of COURSE high
financiers. are rarely taxpayers. They
know they may have to run any day
and perhaps never come back. so
they do not buy real estate, but are
roomers and dodgers all their lives.-

A Scene ON the Highway.

In Chickasaw township just north
of the "old town" last Sunday two
young ladies were enjoying ride
on horseback. A young man who
had severe attack of 1.-The smarts"
made a run and jumped astride of
the horse upon which one of the
young ladies was seated; the horse
reared, plunged and bucked until
''smarty" was thrown off, the young
lady kept her seat and finally got her
horse under control, she then dis
mounted and handing the bride
reins to young man asked him to
hold her horse and taking her riding
whip she proceeded to wear 1t out
on the young "smarty" who came so
near causing her trouble. We sup
press the names, but If the young
lady when in town will call we shall
consider it favor to buy her q n :
ing whip which if another occasion
arises for her to use 1t in like
manner will not break in the using
and give better results. New Hamp-

IN PAPARA
CORRESPONDENT VISITS COUN-
TRY HOME OF TA'CI SALMON.
Interesting Description of Residence
of Noted Tahitian at Papara on
the Island of Tahiti.

Papara, Tahiti, Nov. 23:-A
twenty four mile drive over the most
beautiful road that can be imagined
brought us to Papara, and | have
felt as if were in dream ever since
l got here. l have dreamed of such
scenes as this. but never in my wax
ing moments have l imagined that 1t
could be real. Papara is the country
home of Tati Salmon and has been
the residence of the royal family
along his line, since native legends
begin. In early days Salmon's ances-
tors were OF the priesthood. and a
short distance away is one of the
ancient sacrificial places. with the
stone on which were stretched the
babies of the people who were
victims. Back in the hills, half hid
den in the dense tropical under
growth, stands one of the mysteries
of the island. 1t is gigantic statue
of an ancient god. But Tahitians do
not carve stone. nor do any of their
legends tell of such an art. No carv-
ing implements have ever been
found. This statue is an immense
head and bust, with demoniac feat
ures, standing some twenty feet high
and carved out of solid rock.
According to the stories told me
by Salmon this was once wOrshipped
| by the islanders. who knew nothing
of it's origin, because of it's terrible
expression it was supposed to be a
god which demanded human sacri-
flee, and the rites attendent upon
that sacrifice were performed by the
priestly ancestors of the Salmon fam
lily. Tahitians w@e never cannibais
in the true sense 'of the word. They
never ate the bodies Of human be-
ings, but at those human sacrifices
| It was the custom Of the priest to
remove the heart of the victim and
divide among certain favored Wit
nesses of the sacrifice. who ate II
raw.

The edge is sharp and in the center
is hole through which passes the
wooden handle. On the end of the
handle which is fastened with strong
thongs, is a bunch of feathers of
bird that is now extinct.
Spears that have human blood
stains on them, adorn the walls, and
among implements of war are two
immense bows, made of exceedingly
hard wood which are so strong that
no man has been found in recent
years who can string them. These
bows are eight .eet long, and bear
out the statement of Salmon that his
great grandfather was eight feet tall,
and in all his army of three thousand
men not one was less than six and a
half feet tall. A massive war club,
five feet long, and so heavy that l
could scarce lift it to striking posit-
ion, is still further evidence of the
great size of the ancient Tahitians.
This house, in addition to it's num-
erous other attractions, is haunted
by the ghost of one Of the heads of
the Salmon family, who was murder
ed in his bed by an enemy. 1t Is
said that this ghost makes periodical
visits. and one of the members of our
party was sure she heard it under her
bed one night. but the ghost turned
out to be big dog, SO our sensation
lasted but a short while.
An immense beugainville vine
covers the front porch and the roof
of the house. with it's Haunting pur-
