TO RAISE MORE TAXES.
Salma Council Asks State Commission
for the Privilege.

Salina, Kan, Aug. 13.-At a special
meeting of the city council it was de-
cided to ask the state tax commission
for the privilege of raising $4,000 adj
fairs.
To get this raise it will be necessary
to petition the tax commission, as the
law does not allow more than per
cent additional being raised.
Many towns are sending in these
petitions. A dispatch from Topeka
says the state tax commission has de-
cided not to pay any attention to such
petitions until 1t could make thor
ouGh investigation.

To Cut Out Queenstown.

New York. Aug. 13.-It is stated
on the best authority that, commenc-

Cunard liners would cut out calling
at Queenstown and run to Plymouth
and Cherbourg, still making Liver
pool port as heretofore. The change
has been decided upon, 1t was said af-
ter long consideration to expedite the
delivery Of mails in London and also
to enable the Cunard to get its share
of the continental first class passenger
traffic in competition with other lines.

Compliments E6kr Death.

There is a German proverb which
says, "Man DART nur sterben I'm gelobt
zu werden'' eve need only die in order
to get praised). This, we cannot help
but admit, is fairly true in general
sense, and if we required any proof or
confirmation the epitaphs in GENE
teries, churchyards and churches
would readily furnish it. Indeed if we
had no other testimony to go by than
these pious inscriptions we might al
most fancy that men and women had
arrived at such a state of perfection
that they were little less than angels.
Death, like time, is a great healer Of
wounds, great soother of passions, a
great calmer of turbulent thoughts, a
slayer Of enmity. He is the peace
maker par excellence, having caused
the saying to gain general currency
that we should say nothing of the dead
but what Is good. Among the laws Of
the ''Twelve Tables" compiled by the
Decemviri, there was one which, in
fact, forbade to speak 1njuriously Of
the dead. It Is in exchange for this
doubtless that we are always doubly
anxious and ready to vilify the living

severe shock to Mrs. Flaherty to learn
that one of her best customers, a
widow Of threescore and ten, was
about to be married for the second
time. Almost tearfully she confded
her sentiments to another patron.

After the Honeymoon.

"Pa," inquired a small boy on the
Oakland boat, whats simoonY
Huh" grunted the man without
looking from his paper. "Simoon's
sand storm on the dessert, dreaded by
Travellers"
"And, pa, what's honeymoon
Homogeneous rice storm on a train,
enjoyed by travellers"
''Then a honeymoon's something like
simeon, amt it, pa?"
"Guess so. Keep quiet. Don't ask
50 many fool questions. Look at the
sea gulls.'
"But amt they good deal alike, pa
-simoons and honeymoons?"
ugh, huh, both full of hot air! Most
honeymoons become simoons in few
years. When the honey's gone the
sigh's left.''
"Pa, were you ever on a honey
moon?'
"Percy, if you don't stop Fostering
me with questions I'll never bring you
over to the city again."
"Well, ma said she had a honeymoon,
and it was like dream, and all the
rest Of it's been nightmare" San

Tho Wife Of the Cat.

Nasr-ed-din, the Persian shah, was
an intensely superstitious man and be-
lieved that his luck lay in his beauti-
full black Persian cat. which was a re-
markably handsome cat in land
where cats are nearly all handsome.
The shah never allowed the black cat
to be away from him, and it was given
in charge Of one Of his wives, Amin
Agdas, who was styled the wife of
the cat
When the shah went on his long.
shooting expeditions. the Persian cat
was put into a decorated basket and
carried by special attendant directly
behind his master. Unluckily one day
an accident occurred, and the black
cat came to an untimely end The
shah was in despair at the loss Of his
luck bringer, but the clever wife Of
the cat' exerted her influence and
brought her nephew under the shah's
notice. The lad was sharp enough to
make the most of an accident PLANNED
by his aunt) and save the shah's life,
and the monarch was so pleased that
he gave the boy the name Of "the
cherished Of the sovereign" and in
stalled the new luck bringer. ...

When Life Was Little Valued,


The 223 capital offenses which the
old English law recognized as punish
able by death did not keep down crime
and with the abolition Of the death
penalty for all crimes but murder
crime in England. as we'll as every
where else all over the world where
the death penalty has been modified,
lessened markedly, notes the Boston
Traveller.
Edmond Burke said that he could in
his time obtain the assent of the
house of commons to any bill that car
ried the death punishment.
A mans life was not very valuable
In those strenuous days. If he scratch
ed his name on Westminster bridge,
If he wore wig or false mustache or
any other disguise on public road, if
he cut down young tree, if he stole
property worth more than $1.25, if he
had been transported for crime and re-
turned day ahead Of the expiration
Of his term Of punishment, if he wrote
threatening letter, if he stole hide
from a tanners, for any and all Of
these things and for 200 more than
these he was hanged by the neck until
he was dead.

Perilous BOATING.

On the west coast Of Ireland, near
the mouth Of the river Shannon, are
several large sea caves which open
into each other. The visitor seems to
be floating through a submarine palace
of many halls whose roofs are either
as green as grass in the sun or blood
red. But the visitor needs a good
guide and good boatman, for the sea
Is insidious and the labyrinth of caves
intricate. On one occasion, writes Au-
brey de We're in his "Recollections,"
soon after party had entered the
boatman suddenly shouted, Bend
down your heads for your lives!'
No one saw any. danger, but the
boatman felt the placid water insensi-
bly, rising and knew that the tide had
turned. At last the visitors knew this,
too. for it was not until the boat had
assembled within a few inches of the
roof that it began to descend.
"Pull your best" exclaimed the man
at the helm. eff the second wave
reaches us, we are lostw But before
the second wave reached the cave the
boat had issued from its mouth.

Life Savinu and Law,

The Roumanians are as curious In
some things as the Chinese A girl
who fell into the river and was swept
down by the current finally seized a
bush ON the bank and drew herself
to shore. The owner of the land on
which the bush grew Immediately
claimed reward OF shfllings because
his bush was there and had saved her.
Her father refused to pay, and there
was a lawsuit. What the law has to
decide is whether drowning people can
make use Of bushes on the bank WITH
out paying for the same or whether the
assistance of the said bush is worth a
certain sum Of money.
In China if person falls into the
water no one must help him out, but
at the same time spectator can be i'm
prisoned for not advising the victim to
stay on dry land.
