On the way downstairs we passed
a man Just finishing an oak rock
,er, which looked stout enough TO
serve as an heirloom two hundred
years hence!
Then we went to the forges,
where several young men were
making bronze stands tor vases.
These forges are in a separate
small building. The rafters OF
solid oak, the huge fireplace in
one end, the loaded windows, and
outside, the ivy, all help make OF
a forge an attractive as we'll as a
picturesque place.
Finally we strolled across lawn
and a street to the Roycrott Inn,
saw it's large entrance hall with
the ample fireplace, the cozy read
ing room for guests, and the long
dining room furnished with tab
les and chairs all made by hand
in the shops. Upstairs we went
through several suites OF rooms,
some O: which have sleeping por-
| ches attached. Our guide took us
last to the large assembly hall
lighting up by pushing an electric
button, the wall paintings along
the upper part OF the four walls Of
| the room. Above the platform, II
front, is a beautiful painting, re.
presenting a scene in Venice, ane
the various sections of the wall!
are devoted to paintings repre-
senting real scenes in many coun
tries. One Sahara Desert scen'
| is quite impressive, recalling de
scriptions in "the Garden OF Al
lah." In this Assembly Hall ar
held concerts, lectures by proml
nent persons from all parts OF tn
world. amateur plays, and an.
| other entertainment furnished TO
the Roycrofters and their friend
and visitors.
On the spacious verandas OF TIN
: most attractive Inn, the guide de
: serted us, and we sank into tn
comfortable porch chairs, oc
weary eyes were confronted B

House" We wondered how muc

these had been transformed into

TINY SP|Tz POODLE
 OPENS BIG QUESTION
HOW OLD MUST A DOG BE TO VOTE AND PAY
 TAxEs7

What age of a dog is equivalent to the age of 21 of a man when it comes to paying dog tax?
 That was the question propound- ed to city clerk Fitzpatrick Monday afternoon by a man who owns a little spitz poodle. How old mus a dog be before becoming liable to taxation? The ordinance provid. ing for the taxings. of dogs was looked up and it was seen that there was nothing in it determining when dogs become of age.
 Whether the framers of The ord inance omitted the age limit of of dog childhood by accident or design, the omission is there in plain white, which is plainer than even black and white. Thus it is seen that d dog comes into the world with a tax on his head. if we interpret the ordinance literal ly. However, the marshal of the city is not a strict construetionist in this case and he says that 8 dog becomes liable to the tax when he becomes old enough to want to run about the street and that is a very sensible way out of the di. lemma
 There arc cou~ tries where the children are visited with debts of their fathers but this is the only instance where a dog is born with a tax on his head. The phrase "a dogs life" has been used for years to signify an unfortunate con dition and it would seem to be the literal condition Of the dogs of Bis bee. But after all, as it vas with the slaves in the old days, it is the master and not the dog upon whom the liability for the tax rests and as these same masters are the makers of the laws and ordin. ances, there. is no call for the $. F. (. A. ambulance or for the tears of the tender-hearted.
 City Marshal Bassett Watkins has ordered 300 tags to be rented tc those who have paid their license. The bill has been received and the tags are expected in a few days. Wien they arrive the matter of col lecting taxes will be prosecuted. Only few have so far been col lected owing to the fact that there were no tags, but those who wished to make sure that their pets would rot be troubled by the dog catcher have receipts.
