Should Bachelors be
 Taxed.

That's the subject which we see by the newspapers was very inter- esting debate few evenings ago, and the hall wasn't large enough to accommodate half the numbers of people who wished to hear and see the old gray headed 'baches' get it put all over them" Of course the poor old bachelors lost after recon nossance by the affirmative into every year from the year one to date. But if the bachelors were rep rsented by three "hen pecked" hus- bands there would have been a diff ferent, delightful decision, for this ad man doesn't think two-thirds Of the poor unfortunate bachelors real ly know what they are missing, but we imagine that few 'hen pecked mollycoddles" could very much en- tighten that hallful. Of course these are only our thoughts. Well, be that as it may, the affirmative were more than generous in their de- mands because We think $50 per year is O. K; in fact, that wouldn t stir some of them. Yes, sirree, there are some husbands who are compelled to drink cheap, trashy tea and coffee, and their hard earned cash paid for it, when their wives could just as well call at our store and get the nice tasting kind for the same price.

% KILLED AND IA WOUNDED.
Fewer Fatalities in Wisconsin and
Michigan This Year than in 1907

Twenty-eight killed and Seventy-four
wounded is the toll eXacted by the woods
of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Pc
ninsula of Michigan from the hunting
loving public during the open season of
19CS. according TO statistics compiled by
the Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee, The
fatalities this year fall three shy of the
number reported during the 1907 season.
Last year a total of thirty-one deaths re-
suited from indulgence in the sport of
hunting. This Is the greatest number of
fatalities that has ever been recorded after
a hunting season. The fatalities in Wis
consin this year exceed those of 1907 by
five. twenty-four hunters being killed in
the Badger State. The new law in Mich

for the killing of one hunter by another.
whether by accident or not. seems to have
had a salutary effect upon the Nimrods
of the Wolverine State. for in the Upper
Peninsula this year there were but four
deaths from accidental shooting. whereas
in 1907, the first year in which the law
was in effect, twelve people were killed.
The list of wounded during the 1908 sea-
son is more than double that of 1907. In
the latter named year thirty-six people
were injured or MANNED while hunting,
while during the season that is just about
to close, seventy-four hunters have fallen
victims to the carelessness of themselves
or of other Nimrods. OF the total of
seventy-four hurt this year, fifty-four

A very sensible bit of advice eX-
pressed in homely language was given
by man not long ago to an eXcitable
and quarrelsome friend. 1t was in a
brickyard. and two of the workmen had
engaged in an angry dispute which Gull
minated in a fierce encounter. In the
skirmish one of the combatants was
hastily hurt on the head, and the en-
ployer, who happened TO come on the
scene of action when the fight was fin
fishing and was a man of more te'nper
than discretion, advised the injured one
to get a warrant for the others arrest.
While the matter was being discussed
bv a number of workmen who had gath
cred round a big, burly fellow who had
heard everything and seen the whole
affair made his way TO the man with
the damaged Uranium and said:
You don't want to get no warrant.
Bill. You just go TO the chemists shop
and get yerself two pieces of plarster-
good big ones-and put one piece on yer
head an the other on yer mouth, an
you'll be all right. London Mail.
