FLAT RATE ON DOGS WRONG
Aristoerats Among CANNES Should
Bear Burden Of Taxation, THINKS
Owner Of One Of Other Kind.

I have felt so dreadfulIy sorry for
some folks who have four or five mon.
grcls In the family and no grown-up
children to lend their support that
am carrying bones to them from my
own table that they mny keep their
hounds intact. The new Tux to be
levied on the dogs Of our state, I un.
derstand, is to be So for gentlemen and
s. for Indy dogs, regardless Of stand
ing or pedigree. No apparent legal
protection Is held ont to the owner
whose lady dog has ushered in a fresh
litter of pups overnight If the tax col.
lectOr happens along before the Incl.
dent is duly and officially recorded in
the birth column of our local weekly.
This, In my own and personal opinion.
Is an outrage, writes "Zim" In Car.
toons Magazine.
No poor man can get along without
a dog or two to cheer him through his
miserable existence. SO why not estab-
lish standard of efficiency instead of
bringing oil dogs under q fiat rate?
There are dogs of one kind and
dogs of another. The registered
dog should stand the biggest share of
the burden, Of course. Let us not put
upon the same basis u kiyi who Spends
his time shifting Mt hitching posts and
growing ut other dogs, with the sleek
setter or pointer Of kennel breeding.
AS fancier and part owner of the
inferior grade, am doubly able to de-
tect the great injustice of our new
system Of taxation, for 1t leaves me no
alternative but to purposely slide out
from under my valuable possession.

might be well to qualify the descrip-

Among the persons who got on the
back platform when the car stopped
ut the near side WINS a stout woman,
who, with the combination of her build
and bundles. Ind difficulty in wedging
through the door. She got in mt a
time when the chr was describing
fancy figures over the curve. and in
response to one Of the lunges she
stepped squarcly upon the feet Of the
quiet gentleman. Apparently he had a
corn. which connected directly with
his soul. He screamed once and then
sat looking straight ahcnd, very red
md very angry, One Of his shoes glls-
tened and the other rcsemblcd mud

The woman did not go her way. hut

old feet out of the aisle?" she inquired
after a long stare. The man looked
her straight in the eye. meanwhile

Undoubtedly, would kill him." After

Mary Ellen, the cOlored maid, had
been carefully instructed by her new
mistress in u number Of things con-
corning which she appeared to be pro-

stress had been laid upon the proper
manner Of receiving visitors and of
informing the mistress of their pres

been said about 1t or perhaps Mary
Ellen had stage fright ut the crucial

Write q Letter Demanding
lts Return.

Dear Madam: We are always
grievcd to see young romance shat
tered and irons placed upon the trem-
bling wrists of the goddess Hymen,
but when unfortunate circumstances
necessarily produce such n sad happen
ing, 1t is customary for the young lady
to return those mementOes of aftec-
ton and high esteem which have been
the evidences of high regard and es-
teen Of the young man during more
friendly moments.
More so, 1t is customary for the
young lady to return that pledge of
the contract Of engagement to enter
into the bonds which bind as one the
possibility for the use of which has
so unfortunately been destroyed.
We therefore request, respectfully,
that you return to this Office the en-
gngement ring of Mr.. -. or we shall,
although most reluctantly, be COM
PEELED to institute rcplevin proceed
ings for Its return.-DOckct.

Women Melting Prejudice.


Fifty years ago trained nurses were
unknown in this country. In 1873 GER
tain ladies' of New York decided to es-
tablish school of nursing ut Bellevue
hospital. Mrs. Joseph Hobson, who
was one of the founders, says In her
book, "Recollections of n Happy Life"
"Strange to say, doctors were our
chief antagonists, the doctors of the
Bellevue medical board. Not all Of
them. by any means, but enough to
hamper and hinder aud add to our DIFF
ficulties."
The conservative doctors" were es-
pecially trying. 1--WE were ignorant
women interfering with what was
none of our business and
''they were utterly opposed to our in
reference" A year later the same
board passed. resolution heartily in'
dorsing the work.
In the same way many Englishmen
opposed Florence Nightingale; and at
the beginning Of the present war the
offers of service from woman doctors
were not accepted. Now women in
England are being urged to take med
ical training.
Before women take up any piece Of
work which up to that time has been
done, well or badly, by men, they are
required to eXpend n great part of
their tiinc, energy and money on get

FRIENDSHIP is TRUE WEALTH
This Fact Was Recognized by UnusuaD
Legacy Made In Will Of late
Justice Lamar.

In the will Of the late Justice Lamar
Of the United States Supreme court
there was one very unusual legacy. He
bequeathed his friendships TO his lam
lily.
ITO my family" the will runs, IT be-
queath friendships many and numerous
In the hope that they will be cherished
and continued. True friendships are the
most valuable of our earthly possess
slOns, more precious than gold, more
enduring than fame. AS Henry
Drumm0nd has well said, Friendship
Is the nearest thing we know to what
religion ISL" :.
The family that inherits such wealth
Is truly rich, observes writer in the
Youths Companion. But 1t is legacy
that must be used II 1t would be pre-
served. Friendships cannot be locked
away in safes or lent to historical ex-
hlbits and museums. Like love and
faith and courage, they belong to that
intangible treasure Of the soul that
must be kept from destruction by con-
slant service. 1t Is not alone material
things that rust doth corrupt"
How mnny of us have let slip
through busy br careless fingers the
beautiful end glowing friendships Of
our youth? We did not mean to do
1t; indeed, we have often regretted
the loss until, rs the years pass, the re-
gret gradually fades away. And If that
Is true Of our own friends, how fur
more true of our fathers friends! Yet
there have been families where friend-
ships have passed down from father to
son for several generations.
There is food for thought here. How
many fathers IRE building up fine and
loyal and serviceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be-
queath to their sons? How many moth
ers are storing up like treasures for
their daughters? The question does
not end there. How many young peo-
pie of today are fitting themselves to
receive such legacies? How many in
oil the varied and urgent calls Of life
are needing the challenge to mike
themselves worthy Of friendships by
being loyal and fine tempered and gem
erOus friends themselves?
"A man that hath friends" the old
book Of wisdom declares, "must show
himself friendly ard- again, "Thine
own friend and thy fathers friend for
sake not"

rlnder Boxes Not Obsolete.

Brandon, small town In Suffolk,
England, still supplies the world with
fint-and-stecl finder boxes, which even
the developed friction matches of to-
day have not made obsolete, notes the
Popular Science Monthly. Elderly
persons Gun still tell us about the time
when fint-nnd-steel were universally
used; when old rigs had to be
crarred for finder. and when the
sparks had to fly to get these to catch
fire. Brandon fints have always been
justly famous. They were used in
the kitchens ut home, and on canrons
In the wars. They saw service ut Wa
terloo. in the Crimcnn war, and even
rs late rs in the South African cam
paign. The first one was made in
1897.

Unfamiliar Use Of Mola..e..

Molnsses is not only the most impor.
tant by-product of beet sugar munufac-

also of particular interest chemically

utilized. Among these are cattle feed

processes.
In cattle feeding the molasses is
mixed with alfalfa meal or beet pulp
