to exempt certain manufacturers or cor
pordtions from taxation for a period of
years. That previous to 1906 the defend
ant was job printer in Jericho and that
at a town meeting held in Essex in 1896
1t was voted to make exceptions to the
defendant In the matter of taxation. Some
time after this vote the defendant was in
duced to change his residence to Essex.
1t will further appear. in accordance with
the vote. that when the listers came to
make up the tax the following spring they
exempted the defendants plant and also
the following year. The defendant ex-
poets to show that during the third year
the exemption vas not made. but Ia y
levied and that the listers conceived tina,
the defendants should pay taxes. Under
| the circumstances he declined to pay the
tax. The action is brought to collect the
full tax without allowing for exemption

BEEF GOES BALLOONING
Salt Pork Luxury Only for tn
Rich.


The prices OF meat In the local markets

almost unbelievable heights. Wholesale
beef brings 10 cents and local butcher
said yesterday that It would go even nigh
err. Prices will 30 up again next week, -
he said. and In all probability they will
not drop again for two months"
II certainly looks badly for all but the
vegetarians. Porterhouse steak, laml,
chops and ham cost 80 cents pound
Fowls are IS cents, Even the humble salt
pork brings Is cents. II Is comforting to
note, however, that beans are only 81 m
per bushe, and bushe Of beans will
go long way. Tripe also, Is cheap. for It
costs only ten cents pound. But then,
anyone who lives for the next two months
on beans and tripe, waiting for prices ia
so down. will probably have lost al in

Chai0ner's Advice.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 27.-To avoid
Icing run down by reckless automo,
biIists, perfect yourself in the "toreador
sidestep," and carry steel-tippsd cane.
This is the advice given by John
Armstrong Chaloner, author OF who
loony now" and owner of the pig
,Dolgorouki, following what he declares
to have been hairbredth escape from
death shortly after the witching hour
OF midnight this morning.
The toreador sidestep, Chaloner ex-
plains, is the leap employed by bull
fighters to escape the maddened
'torro." The steel-tipped cane takes
the place OF toreador's sword. II
comes in handy, Chaloner says, if one
desires to give the chauffeur thrash
ing;
when the auto bore down on me
last night" said Chaloner, / jumped
aside just like a bull fighter and held
my cane poised ready to strike. The
chauffeur saw that I was not intimi'
dated, aad he pulled desperately to one
side, leaving me in possession OF the
middle of the road.
Had it not been for my sdestep and
my cane, am sure would have been
killed."
