FOREIGNERS ENGAGE IN WAR.

In the wars of Servia and Bulgaria
there were Austrians, Russians and
many other foreigners, while in Spain
one has but to consider the names of
certain statesmen of recent years to
see how many Adventures have
served to make the history of that
country.
A warrior named O'Higgins played
a chief part in the wars of Chile. In
China the leaders have time and

it would be interesting to learn how

CITY ADMINISTRATION
AND THE TAX RATE,

At the meeting of the city council
last Thursday night the tax levy for
the year was fixed and the rate low
cred five cents from that of last year,
making the rate upon each 500 of
taxable property SIPS, the fourth re-
dnction that has been made since
Mayer ]. T. Hinton was indicted in
to office a little more than three years.
The reduction in the tax rate comes
after careful and considerate calcu-
lations made upon the report of the
Board of Tax Supervisors, who filed
their report several days ago and
which were in the hands of Mayor
Hinton and Councilman w. o. Hinton.
The taxpayers of the city can be
congratulated upon having an admins
tration so conservative and painstak-
ing in the affairs of the city finances,
and which as financiers of marked
ability, can readily observe the best
interests of the taxpayers.
When Mayor Hinton went into office
the tax rate of the city was $145 on
each 800 worth of taxable property
IN the city and since that time there
has been an annual reduction of five
cents until the present rate has been
reached. Mayor Hinton has material
ly increased each year the allowance
in 70 fonn
OF the reduction Of the present levy of
ten cents made for this purpose be-
sides an additional levy of five cents
for the Massie Memorial Hospital.
During his term of office Mayor
Binto has insisted upon the city bear
ing the cost of the construction of new
streets and additional sewer service,
fntsead of compelling the property own
ers to bear the extra expense. This
has all been done without interfering
IN the least with the financial condition
OF the city and demonstrates that by
wise and economical methods a city
the size of Paris can be conducted at
a less expense than the taxpayers
have been heretofore compelled to
bear.
Councilman w. o. Hinton, at the
last meeting of Council reported the
Tax Supervisors had made their re-
port and recommended that a levy of
$1.25 be made upon each 500 worth
Of taxable property in the city, which
he said would be sufficient to meet
the demands made upon the city's
treasury, in view of the fact that
the licenses for the ensuing year had
been paid and with the cash in hand
a little of the taxpayers burden could
be lifted
During the past three years of Mayor
Binton's administration, numerous
streets have been constructed, the
beauty of the city otherwise improv-
ed and conveniences for the inhabi-
tants added. This has all been done
without extra expense to the tax-pay-
ers and the present reduction in the
levy is most commendable.
The rate as fixed by the council is as
follows: General purposes, SOC; city
schools, 95 cents; public library, )
cents; Massie Hospital, 5 cents:
sinking fund, 25 cents. Total, $1.25.

WAS NOT BAD LUCK
Breaking of a Mirror Led to Good
Fortune, Love and
Home.

by GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN.
II there was one person in the
world who believed that it was bad
luck to break mirror, it was Wal
ter Lane. He had reason for his con-
viction, for he was practical VIC
tim of that misfortune. The senti-
mental superstitious element did not
particularly appeal to him. 1t was
the hard, real dollars and cents in
volved that brought him face to face
with two gaunt giant facts-discharge
and poverty.
1t was no ordinary six-by-ten look
ing glass that Walter had joggled
against and toppled to the floor. 1t
was an eight-by-sixteen-fe plate
glass mirror, one Of the finest ever
turned out by Richland G Co., the big
glass firm Of the city. In getting it
ready for delivery, some one stumbled
over 3 supporting frame and the cost
ly mirror was shivered to atoms.
Walter Lane had been in the en-
ploy Of Richland & Co. for over a
year. He was held responsible for the
damage. although personally he had
no hand in the disaster. There were
some hot words. Walter felt the in
justice Of burdening his shoulders
with the entire responsibility; but he
was discharged, his accumulated wages
held back, and threats of suit to re
cover the balance of the damages
made.
"And about all / know is the kind
Of business that house does, and of
course, they will blacklist me every
where with the trade" mourned Wal
ter.
He felt pretty forlorn as he walk
ed slowly homewards. The frown on
his brow deepened as concurrent trou-
bles assailed his thoughts. There was
the new suit he had paid ten dollars
on, and no chance Of getting the

wages that were due him. The suit
in turn brought up the sweet, winsome
face of Leah Moore. There was a
notable operate event on the books
for Friday evening, only two days
ahead. He had invited Leah, and al
though she had several other invita-
lions for that evening, she accepted
his own, so pleased and pleasant that
1t had made his heart bound.
And now-an emotion akin to
shame brought o flush to his cheek.
He was proud, and it would be a great
humiliation to confess his inability to
meet the engagement. But he was
straightforward and truthful There
fore he must give up all thoughts of
Leah, for moneyless man and one
without prospects is not generally en-
couraged by the prospective fiancee.
Il can't face her." reflected Walter.
I'll phone her this evening, and that
will mean-goodby!"
1t was distressing to think of it,
and Walters spirits sank lower as he
proceeded on his way. Then a sharp
slap on the shoulder brought him to
halt, and turning, he faced bluff and
hearty grizzled old Jerry Gowan.
Old Jerry had been a veteran in
the mirror service, but for year
classed as superannuated, and lived
In an old barracks some relatives had
LETT him. Walter had been his ap-
prentice, in fact, and Jerry was quite
fond of him.
Well, my hearty" he hailed, how
goes it?"

truthfully. I'm discharged" and he
told how.

work is done. I'll guarantee at least
$4,000 for the year. What do Won
say?"
Walter looked obviously at the
speaker. In general estimation old
jerry was a down-and-outer. Walter
marveled at his talking so big.

he asked.

That's my secret, and, In order not
to let any one else beat US to our spe-
cial market, my hacker insists on its
being kept a secret. Now, look here
Il know what I'm about. Go and
get the gloom out Of your mind, pitch
in with me, and inside of year you'll
be on the road to wealth"
Somehow the optimism of the old
man inspired Walter with new cheer.
Somehow his hopelessness was dissi-
pated, and he mustered up courage to
call upon Leah and tell her everything.
She not only accepted no other invi-
tation, but asked him to spend the
evening at her home, and evinced the
liveliest interest in his new prog
poets.
Somewhere old Jerry had purchased
an enormous number Of medallion
frames. His business was to fill them
with little mirrors made from the frag-
ments Walter purchased at bargain.
One night he took stroll with Wal
ter, and paused In the wholesale Sec
ton Of the city to point out a large
wool warehouse with a great pillow
factory next to it.
Wool" observed old Jerry, oracu-
larly, feathers. Staples; something
tangible, see?"
Yes, see,'' admitted Walter, "but
what have wool and feathers to do
with medallion mirrors?"
You'll soon know!" was all old Jer.
ry would say, and directed him to an.
nounce to that girl of his" that he
would have to suspend his Wednesday
and Sunday night calls for month OF
two. Then there was some rush bust
ness. The medallion mirrors were
packed in boxes. There was nearly G
car load Of them. They were shipped
across the continent. When they ar
rived at the little town on the coast
they were removed to the Lame Duck
The Lame Duck was worthy Of hel
name-an old shore liner owned by
old Jerry's hacker and brother. Abou
all it had was plenty Of hold room
Otherwise, it was an old tub.
Then there was cruise of 500
miles south and then somewhere of
the Central American coast the Lame
Duck came to anchor in the port OF
the principal island of vast archipel
ago.
There were natives, thousands OF
them, and one king over them ALL 1t
was with this potentate that Captain
Gowan did business. 1t seemed that
on previous voyage the captain had
presented the king with the first hand
mirror he had ever seen. 1t set his
kingship wild with delight.
They had no money, no postage
stamps, nothing but banana trees and
shell fish on the island, sheep and
birds. Every native had a mattress OF
the softest down. AS to wool, the is
lands were covered with thorny bush
es that were just loaded with strands of
precious wool torn from the passing
herds.
The Lame Duck came back loaded
with wool and down. The two part

How Fish Are Drowned.

Paradoxical as 1t may seem, fish
have been drowned, Just as human be-
ings have been smothered by a too
great pressure Of air. One experiment
consisted in putting fish into settler
water, which brought about death by
suffocation. If living and healthy
fish be put into water recently boiled,
from which have been driven all the
gases ordinarily present in distilled
water, the fish dies in the same way.
