UNWILLING TO BE A "DOG SENATOR

II tell you" said Senator Irwin,
eff you put this tax on dogs you will
be known for all time to come as the
dog senate of Georgia. AS for
himself he was. Unwilling to be
known as the dog senator" He
said that everything except the poor
mans dog had been taxed, and now
they wanted to tax the yellow dog.
He then quoted from Deut., 2S-1S,
as follows: Thou shall not bring
the price of a dog into the house of
the Lord. For even both these are
an abomination unto the Lord, Thy
Cod"
For Gods sake" he said in con-
clusion, give us this one little piece
of property free from taxation and
the levying process of the sheriff. "
Senator Perry made an appeal for
the poor man who is now overtaxed,
and delivered a very eloquent eulo-
gy on the dog, incidentally bringing
in something on the income tax res
olution.
The amendment of the committee
was finally adopted by a vote of 20
to 10.

POOR BOYS AND GREAT MEN


The cottage has contributed more

manhood, the country has given
birth to more great men than the

Poverty, instead of pinching,
dwarfng and shutting up a man,
rather enlarges and ennobles him
and sets him free.
The best dowry for a boy is a child

the world its seers and sages.

half dead and half alive. He was
removed there Wednesday after pass

his life. DR.. John H. Mccullough
and DR.. Alton S. Fell DECIDED to take
fighting chance, and performed the
remarkable operation. They watch

believe the man may live many years.
The lower part of Mathies' body

FARMERS BUYING DIAMONDS.
New York Dealers Are Hardly Able
to Supply the Demand.

to Supply the Demand.
The prosperity of the western
farmer has depleted the stocks of
diamonds in Maiden Lane, and the
importing houses there have hurried
their buyers across the ocean to pur-
chase new supplies, says a New York
dispatch. Dealers say that the
lethargy which began in the jewelry
trade two years ago has been fol-
lowed of late by so great an increase
in business that trade is taken by
surprise, and even the largest deal
ers are finding it difficult to fill or
ders for the higher grades of perfect
stones. Although $5,000,000 worth
of gems were imported into this
country last month a quantity five
times greater than the same month
last year, the dealers have been I'M
able to fill orders. They say that
the orders from the middle west and
the northwest are the most urgent,
and as those regions are reporting
record-breaking crops the importers
are of the opinion that the jewels, or
lat least many of them, are going to
farmers wives.

Millions of Pounds of Poultry and

Other Meats Destroyed.
So far as can be learned more
food products are condemned and de-
stroyed in New York than in any
other city in the world. This may
be due, in part, to the vigilance of
the health department. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 pounds of poul-
try, game and fish are condemned
annually; over 100000 pounds of
other kinds of meat are also con-
demned and destroyed; the fruit
condemned and put out of use is es-
timated to be 100000 pounds,
and over 100000 pounds of vege-
tables are pronounced unmarketable

unfortunately along with the real

gang of thieves and gamblers. Quite
often these give a good account of
themselves by day that they may

Just now the wheat harvest is be-

Dakotas, and at least 5000 hands
will be required to gather the crop
in those states and in Washingtor

hands will receive $6,0OO,0OO or over

There is a larger wheat acreage in
Minnesota this year than ever be-

day, with board, is paid the harvest
ers, although competent stackers
sometimes get 81 or even more.
