DOWELL WOULD TAX
 ALL LEGS OF GOATS

s. G. Dowell, the popular city as sessor, has been the "fall guy" for many jokes of varying amounts of humor since taking up the duties of his office. Now, Mir. Dowell is a pleasant young man with an affable smile and good word for every body. but now and then things come too strong for him. One of the most recent little sparks of fun at the ex- pense of the city assessor came through the mail yesterday. It was in printed form and follows:
 An lrishman was once elected to the ofice of assessor in his city, and not being at all familiar with the duties incident to the office, at once took time to post himself as thor. oughly as possible, so as to be ready to start on his campaign when the proper time should arrive. The day finally came, when 1t was necessary for him to begin. and at the very first place al which he called. he was ably assisted in making his enumer. ation of the various taxable things by the lady of the house After getting every nameable thing on the list. they both started to go over the whole ground again. to see if any thing Of importance had been omit. ted. When they were some distance from the house, the Irishman said, Madam. I see you have a goat,' to which she replied. "Yes, we have a goat, but you don't tax goats, do you?" ''Yes.' he said. 'it is accordin' 10 law Well" said the lady, ''what is the tax on goats?" To which he replied. Flight dollars" Flight dol. Al Al. |. is more than the darn goat is worth" But, madam" said the assessor. it Is accortin' to law" Well" replied the lady, ''I would like 10 know what the law Is on the subject" Where upon the Irish assessor took from his pocket book. and read as fol. lows: "All property abuttin' on the strate. shall be taxed two dollars each runnin' fut'

 After an instant of surprise she re nembered that Mrs. Hawley had in structed her to leave the back door key at home that day and to let her self fin at the front door with the key which she would find under the car. pet on the first step of the stairway which led to the third floor.
 Stopping just long enough to catch her breath and to deposit her packages on the refrigerator outside the kitchen dcor. Gunhilda made her way down again aud around the building to the front, where she found the key as di- rected and let herself in.
 That was just ten minutes before Mrs. Hawley came home. During these ten minutes Gunhilda's voice was lifted up in walls that brought the inmates Of several other flats to inquire who was being murdered.
 The cause of these walls was that. while Gunhilda was on her way from the back door 10 the front some one had snatched and run away with the bundles she had left on the refrigera- ltttAohS bhlhAtcs Silt new lingerie waist and the other dress goods for an Alice blue suit.

 After a thorough investigation. how. ever, she was almost ready to admit that Gunhilda might be right. Then she discovered the laundry bundle which should have been taken away that day and went straight to the tele | phone.
 The wagon was still out, she learned from the laundry. She might call uI again in an hour. Through that hour Gunhilda's tears flowed copiously. wen find your things safe at the laundry, Gunhilda," Mrs. Hawley kept answering. The man must have come up and taken them, thinking they were the soiled clothes put out there foI him"
 But when the hour had ended back came word that no bundle of any sort had been collected from the Hawley ! flat that day.
