NATURE MARKS MANS GRAVE
eprout From Wooden Coffin, Buried
Many Years Ago, Grows Into Large
Poplar Tree.

It Is seldom perhaps that nature
erects monument to a persons MEM
CRY, yet in a small country cemetery
few miles east of Nashville, Brown
county, Indiana, may be found an OBJ
ject bearing that distinction. 1
More than rs years ago man
named Allcorn became q resident Of
Brown county, and for several years
lived near Salt Creek, in the eastern
part of the county.
While residing here Allcorn met
with an accident which resulted in
his death, and he was buried in the
cemetery near his home.
The coffin was hewed out of a part
of poplar tree and made into two
sections. A few years later a small
sprout began to shoot from the crude
coffin. and not long afterward a small
poplar tree began to spread its
branches over the grave.
Within a few years 1t had grown
to large proportions, and during the
long period since it first appeared
above the ground the tiny poplar
sprout had grown into a tree that
measured several feet in circumfer-
ence and towers above all others in
the vicinity.
Its branches spread far out in all
directions. and many perhaps who
pass nearby are attracted by the tow
ering poplar. though they may be I'M
familiar with its history.

At ball in the kremlin Moltke was

ADVOCATES TAX ON BABIES
Frenchwoman Would PenaIize Par
ents of little Stranger" but
Her Idea Is Not New.
A tax on babies,

"A TAX ON DaDleS.
That is the remedy proposed by
Nine. du Morier Of Versailles, France.
Nine. du Morier declares that If par
ents had to pay a tax on babies peo-
pie would think more carefully be-
fore bringing little strangers" into
the world. and that it would be one
step forward to better babies"
This would not be the first tax on
babies, however, for In 1895 there
was an actual tax on babies in Eng
land. A tax of two shillings had to
be paid at the birth of each baby.
This fell very heavily upon the par
ents. for at that time shilling
meant much more than 1t does today.
The nobility, too, felt the burden OF
the taxes, for each baby was taxed
according to rank, and the birth of a
child of a duke added thirty pounds
to the revenue.
Boards were once the subject OF
taxation. In the time Of Peter the
Great each man was taxed one hun
dred rubles if he wore a beard.
Queen Elizabeth put a tax upon
boards, too, and each man was taxed
three fathings for beard Of fort.
