A PSALM oF LEE.

A PSALM OF LIFE.
T ELL me not in mournful numbers
| Life is but an empty dream.
For the soul Is dead that slumbers
Il And things are not what they
SEEM
Life Is real. life is earnest.
And the grave is not its goal
Dust thou art. TO dust returnest,
Was not spoken OF the soul.
Not enjoyment snd not sorrow
Is our destined end or way.
But 10 act that each tomorrow
Find US farther than today.
Art is long. and time Is heeting.
And our hearts. though stout and brave
Still like muffied drums are beating
Funeral marches TO the grave
In the worlds broad field OF battle,
In the Divouac OF life.
Be not like dumb. driven cattle.
Be hero In the strife.
Trust no future. howe'er pleasant
Let tho dead past bury its dead
Act-act In the living present.
Heart within and God o'erhead.
Lives OF great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And. departing. leave behind us
Footprints on the sands OF time
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing DER lifes solemn main.
A fOrlOrn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing. shall take heart again.
Let u.s. then. be up and doing.
With a heart for any fate.
Stil achieving. still pursuing,
Learn to labor and TO wait.

car thrown over a fence, the auto

were called off in the second event
yesterday.
Maurice Basic, driving an Abbott

the first race that he died within
fifteen minutes. His machine turn
ed over at the sharp turn at the
right of the grand stand. His skull
was fractured and his body badly
torn.
Joe Jaggersberger, driver of the
Case car, had made the first round
of the track in the second event
when his car hurdled fence at the
same point. He was not badly in
jured.

races would be discontinued there

In spite of this the race was called
off after the accident in the next
event. A few exhibition drives were
given to satisfy the crowd.

capes, but the rate of interest is
not lowered on account Of that little
sharp practice.
A farmer in buying farm perhaps
is unable to pay more than fourth
or NTH in cash at the time of pur-
chase. He gives a mortgage for the
balance. But he has to pay taxes on
the whole valuation just as though
he actually owned it-had il paid
for. And the holder Of the mort
gage, amounting TO three-fourths of
the total value of the place, pays
taxes on that-unless he perjures
himself TO avoid it. And the man
that actually only owns one-fourth
of the farm pays. besides taxes on
all of it, interest high enough to
make good to the mortgage holder
the taxes he is supposed to pay.
There's plenty of things our legis-
lators might do for the producing

Mr.. and Mrs. Gene Dickens and
little son had a close call Friday
evening while out driving. AS they
were crossing the railroad track at
DeQueen street their horse became
excited by several parties riding up
back of them and wanted to run.
One of the lines broke when Mr..
Dickens pulled on it. He then got
out of the buggy and managed to
hold the horse by the remaining
line while Mrs. Dickens and the
baby got out Of the buggy. The
horse was kicking all of the while
and finally got away from Mr.. Dick
ems and ran along Sherwood avenue
to Mena street. and then north on
Mena street. When he got in front
Of the Grand leader he had broken
the harness sufficiently to release
him from the buggy and he stopped.

REDS" AFTER GOMEZ
Anarchists Placed Dynamite Under
Palace of Cuba's President, Timed
for His Daughters Wedding.

Havana, June ii.-It became
known yesterday that secret raid
conducted by government detectives
had averted a dynamite outrage on
the night of June 3 that would have
shocked the whole world.
A body of anarchists had plotted
to dynamite the presidential palace
during the marriage of Lieutenant
Colonel Coello, to the daughter of
President Gomez, while the entire
diplomatic corps was in attend
ance.
The conspiracy was betrayed by a
woman just in time to prevent its
being carried out. The bombs which
the conspirators had planned to use
had already been placed in position.
Several anarchists said TO have
come from southern Europe were
arrested and are held incommuni-
cado. They are said to have con-
fessed and have given the names of
all the conspirators.

HOW new REVENUE
LAW WILL ACT
The Rate of Taxation VIII Decrease
As the Amount of Taxable
Property in Arkansas
Increases.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
Following is the schedule of tax
alton fixed by the Turner-Jacobson
bill. which passed June 8, and which
is intended to be effective from the
next assessment. The capitol tax
rate is used as a basis Of computing
the rate. The school tax rate is six
times the capitol tax rate, the PEN
sion tax rate three, and the state
general tax five.
If the total value of the property
of the state is found not to exceed
$3.50, 100000, the capitol tax will be
AS cents on each 500 assessed, the
school tax q cents, the pension 1875
cents and the state general 22.5
cents, making a total of 67.5 cents
on the 800, or 6% mills, which was
the state rate in the last assessment.
However, the valuation of the prop
erty Of the entire state as given by
the last assessment was only $780,,
100000 and its yield to the state in
revenue about S2,400,000. The low
est figure for the valuation of the
states property as fixed by the new
schedule is S450,000,000 and the
maximum 81 ,250,O0000O. Taking the
minimum, the entire state tax will
be approximately S2,S62, 900, or, de-
Quoting the per cent eustomarily
allowed for assessors errors and
omissions, about S2,690,000. The
schedule is arranged to allow about
the same yield. Using the capitol
tax rate as the basis of taxation,
following is the schedule, the fig
ures in the second column being the
number of cents assessed on each
500:
