smallest call boy ON the bench.
Charles, moreover has habit OF tax

friends in tow at his hotel, a fact
which Mr.. Boyd well knew. a TACT
that Charles did not know was that
the walters had recently been shifted
and a waiter who was unacquainted
with him, had recently Joined the
force in the dining room and on this
occasion waited upon the two arrivals
from the Pine Tree State. In some
manner Byron learned that this was
so and upon going to their table, Mr..
Boyd called the man one side and
pre- tempted his ear.
My good man." said Byron to the
waiter, my friend here is just out
of an insane asylum and has to be
carefully fed. He does not know what
sort of food to order for himself. so
do not pay any attention to his or
ders; just duplicate for him what
order for myself and / will see that
he eats it and of course you will give
the checks to myself. Pay no atten-

The waiter smiled and bowed know
ingly and then looked curiously at the
man who had lust been in the crazy
house" Charles took survey of the
menu, gave his order to the waiter
after Byron had selected his viands
and the waiter went away. When he
returned there was trouble. Nothing
was correct in Charles order and he
stormed, in vain, to the smiling at

ject of the taxation of money invest

whether or not the law passed two
years ago, exempting such property
from taxation, should be repealed and
To report by bin or otherwise. Strong
opposition to any repeal OF the present
law was manifested, particularly from
Portland aud Bangor. only one speak

vored the repeal of the present law.
although questions asked by Senator
Wing. chairman of the committee
clearly Indicated that he was in favor
of its repeal
David F. Moulton of Portland said
many widows had invested in mort
cages since the law was passed. two
years ago, and that il would be un-
fair to them To put the tax on again.
Fred :. Jordan. member of the
Board of Assessors of Portland, OPP
posed any change. He said he under

Aroostook county. where it was claim

common practice for Portland people
to assign them out of the State to

the tex meant double tax on a class
of property least able to bear it-that
the old law was burden on the poor
man who wanted to borrow money for

said he was surprised anyone was bold
enough to suggest re-enacting the old
law.

Hon. j. 2. Bass Of Bangor declared
the committee ought to improve the

suggested a tax on all mortgages
which paid interest at over per cent.
He strongly favored the present law.
Rep. Kehoe of Portland and Rep.
Pun1mer of Lisbon also opposed any
change.

marked that the Maine Dental Society

in reciprocity in exchanging certifi-

He did not believe in the restriction
that man could not be a member of
