 "Oh, bother" said the King.
 Then the Man Mite placed on the backs of the dwarfs and they darted away through caverns and ridor until they came at last strange circular thing which looked like tower.
 Open, Floordoorp cried the patrol and little old man stepped out of niche at the bottom of the tower into which he fitted like brick in a wall Out of the hole thus made, stream of water gushed, but the dwarfs seized the Man Mite and thrust him in head first after which floordoor stepped ;1o place again.
 Though he fully expected to drown, the Man Mite struck bravey and presently he felt himself going up, up, up.

 As he neared his door he saw a curious figure in futtering blue frock standing motionless the curb Jerry tossed his head nervousy but the doctor urged him closer still-and then on behoding the unique figure leaned back in the carriage laugh and laugh, while the passers-by smiled sympathetically.

 When the doctor could draw long breath. he called little boy to hold Jerry while he Invested the hittn post of its strange apparel Then he into the house and telephoned to Elizabci's mother.
 Elizabeth herself, with all her dolls gathered about her, wondered what her mother found amusing the telephone.

 Then Elizabeth and the little trunk left Dr. Rents with hurried good-by and mother rode away to catch her train.
 Elizabeth felt quite dazed she watching Uncle Andrews housekeeper unpaci her trunk-it was all sudden Then as the last little garment was lifted out, Elizabeth made discovery.

 Mrs. Lane did not feel the full horror of the situation.
 You're only going to stay with a few days, you know, my dear" she said comfortably, "and your mother called of in such hurry it's wonder to me she remembered your clothes! I'll find old magazines and you cut out and dress pretty paper dollies.'
 Elizabeth played with paper dolls for two whole days She could go school for the distance was too great; Mrs. Lane kind but busy; and Dr. Kent. though the joliest uncle in \the world was much comfort because he was at home so little Eliza beth tried to be contented but she did long for real doll 10 talk to.

HOUSE REDUCES
PROPOSED TAXES

Not at all alarmed by the ways and
means committee chairman's warning
that the state must either hoist tax rates,
reduce appropriations or go into bank
ruptcy, the house Thursday afternoon
killed the proposed corporation tax In
crease, passing an amendment offered by
Mr.. Barrett of Stephens. which virtually
places the scale of occupancy taxes on
corporations exactly where it was last
year. A similar policy was pursued in
fixing other rates.
When the house was called to order at
8 p. m, Mr.. Boyd of Spalding, resumed
his argument against adopting the corpo-
ration increase, declared that the atmos-
phere of pessimistic foreboding which
pervaded certain portions of the assem-
bly, was unwarranted, and referred to
Chairman Reds advocacy of heavier
taxation as "a voice from the tomb, try
ing to tell us that Georgia is broke and
going to the bow-wows."
DISCUSSION is ENDED.
A few minutes later the adoption of Mr..
Barrett's sweeping amendment put an end
to the discussion. Had the subsection
dealing with corporations been passed
without amendment it would have fixed
a new scale with a maximum tax rate OF
81 900 as against a 500 maximum In the
old bill.
A minor amendment excepting ali SOAPO-
rations not organized for pecuniary gain
or profit was also adopted
On motion of Mr.. Reid of Campbell,
sub-sections "a. IS, 36 and 81 of the gem
eral tax act were reconsidered and
adopted placing, respectively, tax OF
S25 for each place of business on every
manufacturer, dealer or agent for the
sale of typewriters, cash registers, adding
machines, Weighing scales.
Subsection II, putting tax of $50 per
table upon the keepers of public pool,
billiard or bagatelle tables was adopted.
Subsection 10, putting a tax Of SIS on
all dealers in or furnishers Of cigarettes,
cigarette papers or cigarette tobacco, was
passed, but paragraph of the same sub
section taxing dealers in cigars and to-
bacco was stricken out by amendment.
other sub-sections were adopted as Iol-
lows: --.--af .-r "a. .t,t .~.p -,
No. Is. amended placing $40 tax on all
detectives. -., r.- ~
No. II, amended, placing $500 tax on
all social or fraternal' clubs keeping
liquor.
TAX ON MONEY LENDERS.
No. Is, amended, placing $40 tax on all
money lenders, but exempting attorneys
who act as loan agents but who have al
ready paid attorneys taxes.
No. 20, amended, putting $50 tax on
every travelling horse dealer, gypsy ira
der or fortune teller or any other tray
cling dealer in live stock or merchandise,
exempting, however. bona fide residents
of the state.
Mr.. Hartman Of Jackson, tried unsue-
cessfully to obtain reconsideration Oh
the automobile tax section (No. 81, placing
tax of $25 on each machine) which had
been previously stricken from the tax
act.
Shortly before p. m. the house al
, journed until O'Clock Friday morning.
