EUREKA AFTER
THE SALOONS

At the last meeting of the Eureka
city council three ordinances were
passed. One imposes tax of IS
for female dogs and So for males
per year. A special tax will be
levied upon all merchants, hotels,
restaurants, drays, BARRIERS, laun-
dries, etc. land saloons will be taxed
$42 per quarter. An ordinance
was also passed limiting the num-
Der of saloons to three until the
town shall have a population of
1900. It is probable that closing
ordinance will be passed soon, pro-
viding for closing at midnight and
on Sundays.

Paupers' Paradise.

The authorities of Samoa. the little
island upon which Robert Louis Ste
venson lived and died. provide board
and lodging absolutely free to stran-
gers who are unable or unwilling to
pay for their keep. Every village on
the island has guest house. called a
"faletale." and here the tourist is in
vited to come and be fed. lodged and
entertained without any payment
whatever.
The officials of the town of Klingen-
berg on-the- Main. in Bavaria. are ex-
ceptionally generous. for they not only
provide free beds and free board to
poor people. but give away big pud-
dings every year end to all who ask
for them. Klingenberg owns severa'
pottery clay pits that bring in so much
money to the town Golfers that they
pay all the town expenses and leave
good round sum over. which is dis
tributed to charity. Klingenberg Is
one of the few places where taxes are
unknown.
