HEARD AND SEEN AROUND THE
GREEN.

Bunk is dead. Struck by az auto
mobile Sunday night his neck was
broken and he died an hour after the
accident. Bunk was a well-known
figure at baseball games and was often
seen about town. Though just dog,
he had a host of friends among the
:. boys 2 both young and old - who
will mourn his death.
Bunk's master was James j. Lyons
and Bunk accompanied Jimmie 2
everywhere he went.
Some people called Bunk an Irish
sheep dog" said James j., to the
writer day or two ago. But he
wasn't. Bunk was Heinz. What,
don't know what a Heinz is !? Well
say, maybe they didn't have them at
the dog show, but there's more of
those dogs than any other kind. A
Heinz is a fifty-seven varieties dog.
think Bunk was the only one in the
country that had the whole fifty-seven.
Only had fiftyfour varieties at the
dog show, eh? Well, you leave it to
Bunk to dig up some extra VARIETIES
on his own account"
But that dog, though people didn't
think he was good for much, took good
care of my little boy, watched over
him and saved his life more than once
when the little one ran into the street.
And Bunk went to all the baseball
games. He knew the game, too. Why
one time over in Boonton Bunk got
right out by the home plate and called
the umpire robber before any of the
Morristowu crowd noticed how rotten
the lump" was. / had him trained
to run after foul balls when / had the
Parksides down on Budd street and
that dog could tell quicker than the
umpire whether the Dall was foul or
not. Some of the boys on the team
got so they would watch Bunk and if
he started for the ball they wouldn t
because they knew that Bunk saw it
| was foul.
There's a lot could tell you about
that dog, all about how he tipped off
the catcher's signals for me when |
was playing on the old Eauontown
league team, but / haven't time just
now. / hear there's another dog
| like him in Ireland and I've got to
cable over and see about 1T. SO
long,
The discussion over the installation
of the house traps re, ives recollections
of the "town pump fight" back in 1881.
The town authorities decided that the
water in the old court house we'll in
the park was contaminated and or
dered the old wooden pump removed.
Immediate a lot of people who never
had any use for the well before
clamored for it's retention. Mayor
Miller was advised by prominent
citizen to put big sign "poison on
the well and let the people drink the
the water If they wanted to. But the
authorities decided that their decision
was right and the pump was removed.
Immediately all malcOntentS in the
town united under the F" town pump .
banner and with the help OF the demo-
Gratis elected citizens tickets. The
we'll was cleaned out, new pump in
stalled and everybody had right to
be happy. But the fact that the water
was contaminated had taken root in
! the peoples mind and nobody cared to
use the water to any extent and it was
not long before the pump was out OF
| order, and after standing there for
was quietly removed and no one said a
word.

and credits left them by the last will
and testament of the late deceased.
It has been figured out that at the
present rate OF departure OF widows
from the state it will be but a few
ing widows.
Yet when one stops to think that
the widow who is left a small fortune
by the will Of her husband is COM
PEELED to pay a per cent tax on that
fortune. which is often just enough to
carry her in comfort to the end Of her
days, while rich men who know all
the tricks and devices of tax lodging
and who invest their moneys outside
OF the state escape the law, there
comes feeling to them that possibly
the law is unjust.
The question has a financial side as
well, a phase which actually affects
interest rates. Most of those widows
who are left money in any amount
usually lend it out on good farm mort
cages. When they discover that while
they are lending the money at small
rate Of interest they must pay per
cent Of it back in taxes they begin to
get wise and either send the money out
of the state for investment or remove
from the state to those states where
no such law is on the statute books
Their removal or the Investment out
side of the state reduces the loan COM
petition, and the result is that interest
rates advance because there is not the
money to lend that there was when
this money was kept in the state and
loaned out.
An interesting case in point is that
OF a Cedar Rapids widow who was left
moneys and credits to the amount of
$1S5, 900. She liked Cedar Rapids and
had hoped to spend her remaining
days In the old home there, enjoying
the income from her little fortune.
But she was a practical woman as
well, and when at the end OF the first
year she found that she must pay a 2
per cent tax on her little fortune she
simply pulled up stakes and went to
New York city, never to return to
Iowa to live.
The case is but one OF dozens which
occur every year.
