Chicago, Feb. 1O.-"A fight rather

This is the slogan that is being
sounded by large number Of manu-
facturers of agricultural implements,
who are making vigorous protests
against a provision in the corporation
tax law requiring them to take an
inventory of their assets on or before
December 81, each year.
In many of the agricultural imple-

Establishments during the rush season

was all about, but, according to his
usual habit, he shut his eyes as he
came through the doorway, for fear of
seeing the pictures. So the first thing
Tim knew he found himself face to
face with a row of seven ladies.
Then each of the seven cried: ooh,
Tim! Why have you been so long about
coming for me? And why did you make
me come for you? Aren't you glad to
see me. Tim?"
But instead of looking glad to see
them Tins expression was such that it
filled the seven marriageable ladies
with rage, and they threw at him the
articles they had brought with them
the broom, the work basket, the pre-
serves and the guitar. Then Tim fed
into the house and slammed and locked
the door, and he ran out of the back
door and locked it, and he ran down
into the woods and climbed up to the
top of the very tallest tree and sat
there shivering.
And he sat there all day long, and in
the evening he heard footsteps And he
shivered so that the tree shook as if
with a high wind. And the person TO
whom the footsteps belonged immedi-
ately looked up to see what caused this
strange commotion. IT would not have
been a very terrifying person to any
body but Tim. 1t was Just young
milkmaid, with rosy cheeks and bright
eyes and black hair and white teeth,
who had lost her cow, and then nad
lost herself looking for the cow
Go away!" cried Tim, in loud
voice. Its no use your following me

he shut his eyes in determination.

Now, the millImaid's voice was very
soft and sweet and it did not sound

TIMID TIM

Once, away back in the long ago
time, there lived in Ireland a young
man named Tim. He was his moth
er's only son, and she took the great
est care of him. She irOned his col
lars, and tied his necl1tie, and sewed
his buttons on, and kept his house
neat and tidy for him, and they were
both perfectly happy and contented.
But by and by Tins mother began to
grow old, and day by day she began
to find it more of burden TO iron his
collars and tie his necktie and sew his
buttons on and keep his house tidy,
and at last:
"Tim," said she, "I'm getting old
and it's high time you We're married
and had wife to take care of YOU
Now, Tim was a bashful youth, and
he was appalled, at his mothers words.
"Oh, mother!" cried he. "Fd much
rather. not wear any necktie or collar.
and when buttons come off I'll use
safety pins; and 1 won't care if the
house is never swept or busted or
scrubbed, if only you won't ask me to
go and bring home wife"
"Nonsensei" said his mother. "Yo ou
don't know what is good for you. There
are seven marriageable ladies in. the
next town, and l want you to bring
me one of them as a daughter before
the end of the month";
Now, Tim was an obedient youth,
and he always minded his mother, but
the thought of the seven marriage
able ladies awaiting him frightened
him almost out of his wits. And the
more he thought of asking one of them
for her hand the more nervous he
grew.
Thought he, If did-pluck up suffi-
cient courage to go to call on one of
them Tn sure 1 should be so fright
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-30

like the voice of any of the marriage
able ladies, so Tim opened his eyes very
cautiously and looked down at the
milkmaid. And when he saw her rosy
cheeks and bright eyes and black hair
and white teeth he scrambled down
that tree as quick as minute and fell
on one knee before her.
ooh, lovely milkmaid!" said he, "Will
you be my wife, and iron my collar, and
tie my necktie and sew on my buttons
and keep, my house tidy for me?'
well, Ill don't know said the
milkmaid.
Because said Tim, there are seven
marriageable ladies in the next village
and if you don't marry me I'll have to
marry them.'
"Then I WILL" said the milkmaid.
So the two started home hand in
hand, and half way there they met
Tins mother.
"Oh, Tim' she cried, aghast at her
sons lack of welcome to the seven
ladies,-"how could you be so thought
less! Why didn't Syou think of your
poor mother!"
"Why, mother" said Tim, 81 have
been thinking of you. See the lovely
daughter I've brought you
"'Tis not the. daughter l was think
ing" said his mother, but you left the
house and locked the front door and
the back door and I've had to sit on
the lawn all day and look at the pic
lures of the seven eligible ladies; and
just now strange COW with black ana
white spots came along.and ate up the
pictures"
Then the milkmaid clapped her hands
with Joy, Its my cow!' she cried.
SO Tim and the milkmaid were mar
ried and they invited the seven mar
riagable ladies to be bridesmaids. But
they wouldn't come. Still the COW came
and stayed and was fully as useful

ened at the idea of going to see the
other six that l should ask her at
once, whether / liked her or not
At last he had an idea, and, appeal
ing to a friend of his who was some
thing of an artist, he persuaded him to
undertake the journey to the next VII
lage and to bring back sketches of the
seven marriageable ladies.
"After have seen their pictures it
will be easy to choose" thought Tim
But, alas! when his friend brought
home the pictures Tim did not find 1t
easy to choose. Perhaps Tins ideas
of beauty were too lofty; perhaps Tim s
friend didn't draw very well; perhaps
the seven marriageable ladies really
were as-well, as plain and strange
looking as he made them. At any
rate Tim could not find one among
them whom he would like for a wife.
And in fact the very idea of marrying
any of them frightened him, so that
he couldn't bear to have their pictures
around the house. SoPhe pinned them
in a row over the front door and al
ways shut his eyes tight when he went
in and out. He didn't dare throw
away the pictures, because his friend
had made them for him and he didn't
want to hurt his feelings.
But his mother used every afternoon
to bring her knitting and talk them
over with her son, and recite the va
fious good qualities that the various
ladies most probably possessed. But
still Tim couldn't get up any enthu-
siasm at the prospect. and couldn't
make up his mind. And at last the
seven marriageable ladies in the next
village began to wonder why he dldn
come and claim their hands. So final
ly on day, unbeknown to each other,
all seven of them set out for Tins
house to find out the cause of his un-
accountable delay. And each one
brought with her the implement which
she used with greatest skill. One had
guitar, and another had a broom,
and another a work basket, and an
other a jar of preserved peaches; ana
ii so happened that they all arrived at
the Identical moment at the doorstep
of Tins house.
Hearing the noise of their approach,
Tim himself came out to see what it

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A ROY,S TARGET

It has been said that if there We're
no birds man could not, live on tine
earth. and yet cases much like the foi-
lowing. reported by the Daily Sentinel
of Fairmount, Mimi, are constantly
noticed by observing people. The BOY
with rifle or gun is often thoughtT
less and careless:
"A mother dove had been the target
of some small boy The bullet had
passed through her breast and had left
her only strength enough to fiutter
homeward and reach the nest, where
half grown fedgling awaited her COM
ing.
''Dying, she had snuggled up against
her little one, her life blood pulsing out
over her own white breast and against
that of her young. And there, with
eyes staring wide, she breathed her
last and the fledgling starved, and then
froze. The two were found with their
heads pressed together as in last en-
brace.
THE owner of the dove house brought
them downtown just as they rested in
the nest, and the sight and the suffer-
ing of which it spoke We're enough to
melt the hardest heart

We took a rope and made swing,
then took turns about swinging and
we climbed the tree. 1 cut my ini-
tials on the highest branch that
could reach.
We played ball a while and then
picked Wild flowers, put them in bunch
es and started for home. We went
through a big wheat field.
We heard the band play. We stayed
there until o'clock. When we got
home we saw our front door open. Papa
