live in Lawrence Mass. and came from Boston
here by myself to visit my aunt and uncle and
see the Hudson-Fulton celebration. I the
Hudson River and all the war vessels, and the
beautiful decorations and electric lights in the
avenues but did not see the professions. Aunty
thought it would not be safe for little children
be out in such great crowds.
Oh / must tell you about my trip The train
left Boston at g o'clock The first stop we
made was Worcester. Mass. and the next Spring
field. Then went over the Connecticut River
and stopped at Hartford. and then at Bridgeport.
BY this time it was getting dark and 1 tired.
, The train was half hour late when we got to
the Grand Central Station. My aunt and uncle
met me, but oh. wasn't afraid they would not be
there Mamma told me if I missed them TO take
a cab to their house.
The first thing they showed me was the Hotel
Belmont. Then We took Broadway uptown
1t just lovely!
Next morning we went shopping in such big

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Our uncle
has just given lovely little donkey. He is
gray, and has black stripe from the forehead down
20 the very end OF his TAIL and another strtpe
across his shoulders. He is two years old and has
never been trained My brothers and / have ridden
him when some one was leading him. as he won't
steer at all yet
He tied TO II stake in back of the house and
my brother went to pat him, and he came away
the donkey (Dandy) put his feet on DOnaId's
shoulders and knocked him doWn-trying I sup
pose, to get an apple Donald had. No harm was
done and Donald crawled out from between his
legs and away.
Yesterday when he was being led past the front
of the house he took sudden idea that he wanted
cOmpanionshiP and thought the house was the
place to find It, SO he quickly walked up the stems
ana looked in the windows. When he was through
he jumped to the ground again and went on TO the
tub to get a drink. Your interested reader

THE TAXPAYERS DIGNITY.
Helps Support the Government and
SAYS So When He Is Arrested.

MANY time. said policeman in
the southern part of the city. when
arresting men. especially. intoxicated
men, have been told by my prisoner
that he was a taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
II always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken iDsolence and
never paid much attention t. it unttl
about a year ago, when i bought q
house and lot and became myself a
taxpayer. l had always rented before
and never gave a thought to taxes.
but as soon as ] moved into my own
house | began to appreciate the feel
ings of men who resented arrest be-
cause they paid taxes.
There is certainly considerable
addition to the dignity of the man
who helps support the government
He feels a degree Of responsibility
that renter or roomer never uhdeI-
stands, and my idea is that every man
in the country ought to become a.
taxpayer as soon as he can, and the
mere fact that he does help support
the government and bears his share,
Of the expense makes him better
citizen. Habitual criminals are rare
ly 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
lodgers all their lives"
