ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To the Editor Of the Palladium:
It is seen from the figures published
that the entire taxable value OF per-
sonal property Of the saloons IN
Wayne county is little more than
$1,000. 1t also is to be seen that the
county spent last year for boarding
at the county jail persons convicted
Of public intoXication 81 5000. The
tax paid by the saloon men on their
business is less than $500 With the
county spending almost s. 600 to board
prisoners sent to Jail for imbibing too
freely in the products Of a business
which pays less than one fourth OF
that sum. where Is there any profit to
the county from saloons:
And then there is another difference.
The sale value of saloon property.
which includes the barroom fixtures
and stock on hand is placed by the sa-
lOonists at S1S9,00O The saloon pro-
prietors return this same for taxation
at 600. So it is to be seen that the
value on which tax is collected is about
one-eleventh that, which would be ask
ed if sale were contemplated. COun-
ty authorities on taxation say it is
customary for property owners to re-
turn property for taxation at value
representing from 30 to - per cent.
of the true value. Is this done by the
saloonists:. Yours.

Expioitira tho Antique.

A gang of swindlers arrested by the
Toulouse police had for stock in trade
a beautiful antique cabinet and a con-
siderable stock of audacity. With
these they took, for a short lease. a
historic chateau near Toulouse, in
stalling a venerable old lady to play
the part of owner. Then they found
a collector OF antiques, persuaded him
to visit the chateau and sold him the
really valuable cabinet at good
round price. After the bargain was
concluded they invited the victim to
lunch, and while he was eating the
meal the real cabinet was replaced by
a perfect imitation. which the victim
carried off with him. The swindlers.
before their arrest, succeeded in selling
their cabinet thirty-three times, at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000.

When Animals Are I'll.

Said a prominent veterinarian: An
imals when sick are the most helpless
and appreciative of all creatures, and
the way Of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is as novel
as 1t is effective. The most savage and
revengeful animals during spells of Sc
we're pain are, as 4 rule, as docile ard
tractable as child. Relief must come
from a human being, and come quick
Is. and they seem to know 1t. The
most vicious horse when grooming
with pain would allow Il mere child to
administer relief, and many - the
wild animals when in sickness seem
to forget their savage instincts"

ABUSE OF THE HORSE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Do not shout into your horses ears.
An able scientist is authority for tbs
statement that a horses ears are ex-
tremely sensitive.
He says shouting at 4 horse is I'M
necessary. And il persisted in it will
spoil the animal for intelligent direc-
ton.
The more one speaks loudly and
harshly to the horse the more does the
animal expect such Cutbursts and will
make an extra effort only when the
driver makes an extra use of his voice.
The low word spoken positively, but
in kindness, is all sufficient.
One may make an intelligent, faith
full companion of his horse or he may
make his horse driven slave, a nerv-
Gus, sullen brute.
The writer was please the other day
to witness the tact and kindness of a
coal teamster. The team was a good
one, and the wagon was heavily load
ed. Pausing for awhile at the bottom
Of long hill, the driver spoke to his
horses in a low, encouraging tone. The
team responded to its utmost. At in
lcl ais liiS uI1NSI ShuShCo tEC
wheels, giving the animals n breathing
spell and a friendly pat.
That teamster and his team were
chums and coworkers. They under
stood each other. The horses were in
telligent. and so was the driver. he
had only to suggest to the animals
what he wanted done, and they gave
every fiber of their strength to his pur-
pose.
A Kentucky gentleman who owns q
"big string" of thoroughbreds and has
won many races permits no unkind
word to be spoken to his horses either
at his ranch or on the ace course.
The driver who yells at his horse rs
if the animal were deaf is poor
horscman. The driver who loudly
curses his team is tyrant. The driver
who jerks the reins or beats his horse
is brutal.
He that abuses one of Gods bes,
gifts is not worthy to be master, much
less owner. of q horse.
One sometimes could wish the doc
trine of the transmisration of soul:
might be true and that the bruta
driver might be changed into q horse
compelled TO wear an iron bit in hi:
tender mouth. his delicate ears as
sailed by torrent of abuse. and fee
upon his back the sting of the crue
lash. That would be the irony of fate
Exceeding firmness combined witt
exceeding kindness will conquer ant
control any intelligent horse.

the pilgrim stations on the way up

CH!NA'S GRAND CANAL.

Sometimes It Holds Water Enough to
Float the Boats.
OF some of the crude and outgrown
methods used on China's Grand canal
writer in the North China Daily
News remarks: THE junction Of the
real canal with the Wei river was not
by means of lock. but simply high
and steeply sloping mud bank, over
which the grain vessels had to be
dragged by the force of perhaps many
hundreds of men. 1t should be borne
In mind that in China the lock of
canal is not much more like our idea
Of what that name connoteS than it is
like paddock. Amid constant and
often serious changes of level. with an
uncertain and not infreQuently
scanty supply of water, and with a
grain feet which travelled in blocks of
some eighty vessels under one officer,
it was necessary to devise some way
for keeping them together and for
transferring them as a consolidated
unit with this in view.
For this reason a Chinese lock on
the Grand canal is nothing but stone
gateway into which large boards may
be lowered through a groove in the
stones, restraining most of the water
from its flow, until there is Il depth
sufficient to feat all the craft, when
the boards are pulled up and the en-
tire feet passes through.
After this the boards are again
lowered for another division of the
grain boats. In case the water gives

The Greyhourd,

Various explanations have been Civ
en- OF the origin Of the term grey
hound. some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Graius,
meaning Greek. others that it signifies
great. While still others say that it has
reference to the color OF the animal.
In no other breed of hounds is the
blue or gray color so prevalent. and
consequently the last mentioned deri-
walton seems the most plausible.-Lon-

NATURES REMEDIES FOR
DISEASE

Nature provides more effective rem
edies in the roots and herbs OF the
field than were ever produced from
drugs.
Thirty years ago, Lydia E. Pinkham
of Lynn, Mass, discovered and gave
TO the women OF the world remedy
made from roots and herbs. which
has proved most efficaclous IN curing
women's diseases than any other med
icine the world has ever known. and
today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is looked upon everywhere
as the standard remedy for woman's
ills.
