TnNlnp SllantybOats.

Some of the states I'm the Mis- Is
sippi valley are agitating the ques-
ton of taxing shantyboats. This has
led ST. Louis newspaper man to
gather some statistics. He estimates
that there are ,0OJ shanty bOats on
the Ohio aud Mississippi rivers, &c
cupied By more than ~, 900 persons.
Most Of them, OF course, are located
at or near the larger towns. They
are recruited from all classes of So
ciety. Some are workmen, living on
the river TO save rent; some are new
~ married couples seeking start in
life: some are invalids, some travel
ers and some plain river tramps.
II ~ useless TO attempt to tax
Ishantyboats unless all the states in
the big central valleys should enact
similar legislation for the purpose.

Households, but the proceeds there
from have never caused any cOnges-

boatman is an Independent indiyid-

SOME STORIES
4 h AROUND TOWN

Marshal George Long is a good
story teller and with his long expert
ence as a federal officer he has plen-
ty of events with which to weave
tales. At the last session of fed
eral court Marshal Long entertained
a number of his friends with some
stories. Especially fond is he of re-
lsting his adventures with the moon
sinners of the Kentucky mountains.
"In one of the little towns Nesting
in the mountains" said Marshal
Long, was man who always
learned of our presence as soon as
our baggage was in the hotel. We
kept our movements secret, but this
fellow would be with us in few
hours after our arrival. He always
carried knowledge of the location of
stills, and would give us a minute
description of the still and the exact
spot il could be located. His infor-
nation was truthful, for every time
we were sure to run upon the appar-
atus, but never found anybody with
in sight. At last we grew suspicious
of this fellow who volunteered with
the information about the stills, and
we suspected him of being a boot
logger, and using his courtesy to
lead us stray. IL dawned upon us
that he was operating a big still,
and was placing these little stills
over the mountains, placing ashes,
and other evidences that il had been
in operation, and thus pulling the
wool over our eyes to make us think
we had discovered real stills, and
would leave the section without a
diligent search. Finally one OF our
men worked himself into the mans
confidence and sure enough it was
exposed that he was operating big
still. and had been playing a trick on
us by establishing the stills we had
destroyed"
