his mule IN deadly com bat with a

paw. Contrary to custom, the
mule was playing it's fore feet in
vigorous attack on It's entagon.

bears head and shoulders. In a
very short time after Mr.. Shaw.

expired.
The bear had entered the barn
by unlatching the stable door,
and in coming IN too close prox-
unity to the mules battery, had
received a knockout blow at the
first volley. The carcass weigh
ed 262 pounds. The hide showed
the marks of eight bullet pune
lures.

Big Revenue From New Tax,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The income
tax imposed by act of congress passed
August 5, 1909, becomes effective to.
morrow and is retroactive, providing
for the payment of the tax for the
year ending today. The law levies q
tax OF per cent on the net income of
all corporations, joint stock compan.
les with net income in excess of S5,.
900 annually.
1t Is calculated that the tax will
yield to the United States government
an annual revenue of from S25, ,OOO, 900
up. This is only rough figuring, as
it is impossible to get at the exact
data of any corporations but the rail-
roads, excepting as the corpor ations
have onsented to give inform alton ia
their periodical reports. The rail-
roads are obliged, by law, to file
complete reports with the interstate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Applicants
are not milling to obtain jobs as
census enumer ators and Census Di-
rector Durand is considerably per-
turbed over the shortage of men will
ing to earn government money. The
difficulty is in the west and south and
especially in the cities.
The job of census enumer ator pays 80
much per name, or per day, depending
upon the locality in which the work is
done, and averages about $50 per
enumer ator for the entire time re-
quired. In cities of over 5000 In
habitants, where population lis con-
gested and counting is easy, the
enumer ator is required to finish his
work in two weeks, but in cities under
that size and in country districts one
month is allowed.

q claim of twenty cents in an over
charge on freight made against the
Aberdeen &Ashbaro Railway company
and other railroad lines generally are

charge, but did not settle with the
shipper until the latter had exhausted
ordinary methods of collection and
finally filed a formal complaint with
the commission.
If carriers persist in their delay,
the commission intimates it may be
under the necessity of calling the at
