This left but two courses left to the

OF the taxes now and the remainder
hereafter In case of decision In his
favor by the circuit court; or to re-
fuse to receive the taxes until the
court should pass upon and render u

latter alternative he chose; but he is

from the penalty for non.payment

Grew Tree For Own Coffin.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE
wish OF Ember Mason, a farmer,
made fifty years ago, that he be bur-
led In a coffin made from q walnut
tree which he had grown himself, is
only TO be partly granted. Fifty
years ago Mr.. Mason found a young
walnut tree particularly straight
and pretty on his farm. He was q
man OF queer ideas, and decided to
let the tree grow for the particular
purpose Of providing wood for the
coffin that would be used for his
body when he died.
About three years ago Mr.. Mason
had the tree cut down and sawed In.
to lumber for his coffin. The boards
were placed IN his barn and carefully
guarded. Mr.. Mason died today af.
ter an illness Of many years, but by
the decision Of the family the boards
which he cut from the walnut tree
will not be used for the coffin, but
for the box In which the casket will
be inclosed.
