Fine Legal Point In Case.

County Attorney A. M. Cloud, of
Delaware county, acting for the state
treasurer, has brought action to force
the supervisors of Delaware county
to pay the state a collateral inheri-
lance tax of per cent on the $4,000
farm left by Harry Spangler for the
inmates of the Delaware county poor
farm.
The case is now up to the supreme
court, Prosecutor Cloud having car
ried the case there after being ruled
against in district court.
The Spangler bequest to the un-
fortunates is one of the most novel
requests ever made and has made the
county farm inmates famous. The will
provided that a farm valued at $4,000
was to be held in trust by the county
supervisors and that once each year
all the unfortunates in the~poor house
were to be given to eat all that the
income could buy.
For several years the inmates have
strived to meet this provision but as
yet have never been able to eat all
that the income from the $4,000 farm
could buy. Everything eatable has
had place on the unfortunates' table
the day of the annual "big feed" but
always there was money left over.

THE ISLAND HAWK.
By ALFRED MOVES.

Who fashioned her wide and splendid eyes
That have stared in the eyes OF kings?
With silken twist she was looped to their
wrist:
She has clawed at their jeweled rings.
Who flung her first thro' the crimson dawn
To pluck him prey from the skies
When the love light shone upon lake and
lawn
In the valleys OF paradise?
Who fashioned the hawk. the hawk the
hawk,
Bent beak and pitiless breast?
Who wateheth him sway in the wild winds
way?
Flee-hee-fOr quest, I quest.
Is there ever a song in all the world
Shall say now the quest began.
With the beak and wings that have made
US kings
And cruel-almost-as man?
The wild Wind whimpers across the heath
Where the sad little tufts of blue
And the red stained gray little feathers OF
death
y Flutter! Who fashioned US? Who?
Who fashioned the scimltar wings Of the
hawk.

THE NEW YEAR IN CHINA.

In China. according to a returned mis-
sionary. the New Year festivities begin
the night before and the beggars instead OF
slipping silently from door to door. as is
their usual custom. stand up boldly in front
Of the door and indulge in a sort Of chant.
One beggar says:
May pearls enter the front gate"
Another responds:

May rubies enter the back gate"
Good"

are refused they quickly change the senti-
