field is starless. and on this tally Is
kept with white stars.
Or the mems flags write the names
Of certain Of our presidents and on
the girls the names Of the presidents

for finding partners.
The signal for beginning the game

by ringing Il Liberty bell.

Swiss Women Shoebiacks.

In England the shOeblack's calling
has always been a monopoly Of the

is invaded by women. On emerging
from the railway station at Zurich one

at their wooden blocks. and eager to

EARLY VISITING CARDS.
Those Used In Italy Were Elaborate
Works Of Art.

Those Used In italy Were Elaborate
Works Of Art.
Some aut! critics hold that the origin
of the visiting card lay in the circum.
stance that when Pericles first laid
siege to the heart Of Aspasia he sent
her a bouquet to which. fearful lest
che might not guess from whom the
compliment proceeded. lie caused to be
attached a strip of wood wherein his
name was cut.
According to Bertarelli. who, among
others. has been at much pains to com-
pile the history of the card. 1t is diff
cult to say whether it was first used in
Greece or in China. However that may
be. 1t seems to be an ascertained fact
that the visiting card did not really
obtain to any extent in Europe until
the time of Louis XIV. 1t crossed the
Pyrenees with Philip Of Anjou when
he was installed in the palace at Mad
rid. and Louis himself was the cause
of its being introduced into the Neither
lands.
Then it was adopted in Italy. where
it was subjected to much elaboration.
First. the cards showed a modest bor'
der Of flowers or leaves; then appeared
landscapes. bits Of architecture. ale.
gories. etc. Finally came scenes OF
rural life. alternating with views OF
monuments and towns. The name was
printed on the picture of a wall. a tree
or a fountain.

Mutual Admiration.

Count Paul Vassili in his book,
"France From Behind the VEIL" has
a story Of Mirbeau. the dramadst, and
RodiD. ROdin had made a bust Of
Mirbeau and he told the count, 1T IL
not everybody's bust l care to do. but
when one meets with a remarkable
personality like our great writer here
it is a pleasure for an artist to repro
duce his features" Mirbeau replied,
Il never hoped for such "a reward for
all my work as to be thought worthy
Of the attention Of our great master"
Mime. Mirbeau took up the chorus, 1T
is o often that two great souls like
two great masters here present
meet and think together"

A Wonderful Oil Well That Was Founc
IN the Balkans.

A Wonderful Oil Well That Was Found
In the Balkans.
In Mr.. Cation Woodville's Random
~Recollections'' is the story Of a rich
oil we'll that was discovered in the
Balkans.
On one Ut his journeys he was shown
a deep hole. sunk most probably by
the ancient inhabitants Of the country
for mining purposes. but which he was
assured was a petroleum well. After
ward MIR. Woodville heard the full
story of this well.
A petroleum find was reported
from the district. and an expert from
Baku. in the Caucasus. the great pc
troleum district. was sent to the Bal
kans by a syndicate to inquire into
this valuable discovery. He was taken
by eager natives to this hole. and q
bucket vas dropped down at the end
Of a long rope and dra wn up again.

The expert examined the contents OF
the bucket. tested it carefully. and
then. turning to the assembled natives
he exclaimed: This IL the most won.

troleum is already refined"
The explanation war. of course. that

that petroleum m from the oil
wells in a crude state. had carefully
placed some ordinary commercial pc
troleum in the we'll In the hope that

First Feminist Party.

The earliest deputation of women to
parliament was organized close on 1000
years ago. Under the triumvirate of
Augustus, Antony and Lepidus 1t was
proposed to tax the property Of 1,4OO
wealthy Roman matrons in order to
meet part of the expenses of the civil
war then raging. They refused to
submit to this imposition and sent H0r.
teDsia. n Of their number. to plead
against it before the senate. In the
course Of her speech she asked. why
should we be compelled to pay for a
war into which we had no wish to
embark or for the support of a gov
eminent whose policy we have no
means Of ccntrolling?" This argument
proved so effective that the tax on
women was reduced to one-third Of the
amount originally proposed. London

News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
ARE HELD TO Be TAXABLE
Memberships in Exchanges Declared
to Be Personal Property by the
State Supreme Court.

Memberships in the Duluth board
of trade and Minneapolis chamber of
commerce are held taxable in a deci-
sion by the state supreme court. This
settles continued agitation of several
months in the two cities and is of
great Importance to the hundreds of
members.
This is the first time in the United
States that such decision has been
given. The appellant in the case, S.
A. McPhail, pember of the Duluth
board of trade, asserted that all de-
cisions had been against taxing such
property. The court holds that this
statement is too broad, that the the
DRY of such decisions has not been
against taxation, but admits that mem
berships in trade organizations never
have been taxed.
The only question to consider, the
court says, is whether memberships
are personal property. In this con-
nection it holds they can be bought
and sold, have recognized f1uctuating
value, are accepted by banks as col
lateral and can be transferred by will
or descent. The Duluth memberships
are found to have been worth $4,000,
and applying all these tests the court
finds memberships are personal prop
erty and therefore taxable.
