DEAD DOG TAXABLE

Even dead dogs are taxable if they die before the expiration of 12 months from the time they were assessed for taxes. This ruling of the attorney general Friday brought another shock to the owner of Rover, who has just received many shocks recently through the activities of the tax collector.

Brutal Ignorance of Northern MobS
Attacking COlOred Workers
Continued from First Column


It is desirable to speak emperately of the vicious
arce that has resulted in the murder of cored workers in
the North difficult situation exists the difficulty being
inherent in the brutality and seshness of human nature
Unwise discussion might make matters worse for the
victims that have suffered so dreadfullY already
This, however ought to be said:
The white rufans that have murdered the unofendng
coored and women guilty only Of accepting work Of
fered them should have the intelligence to deal with
those that responsible mainly the rich eager for ad
onal and cheaper labor that have brought the coored
men in great numbers from the South to the North
It is that the colored have deliberately gone
North East St. Louis elsewhere seeking to take the
places of white workers They have gone the invitation
of white men, the places being offered to them and they
being BEGGED to go, because of labors scarcity.
The brutality that attacked them in cowardly and over
wheming numbers should direct its hatred elsewhere not
toward those that work peaceaby and faithfully.
The Chicago Tribune of the great newspapers of
the country and published in the State dsgaced BY the
East st. Louis riots describes the situation briefly vgor

That would be some fun now,
wouldn't It?
"once Bob had taken her to a
party. He left her after the first
dance; saw a girl he was smitten
with. Rita knew no one. After
the fourth number was over she
went TO the cloakroom, uonned her
hat and coat and by 10 O'Clock was
home and in bed. 1t was nearly
II before Bob even thought OF her.
Not finding her. he supposed she
had gone home with one OF the fell
lows, until some one told him OF see
ing her leave alone. Then Bob
flushed to the roots OF his hair.
He'd take her again. Some chance.
Making a fool OF him like that
He'd show her.
next morning he started to have
it out with her, He got no fur

This time. his being oldest didn't
work. He turned on his heel and
went out. Later in the day he
came back with a bag of fruit. He
felt badly about the affair, and
soon forgot it.
"Sow, Jeanne was engaged to be
married. Well, Rita hoped all
things would go well with her and
John; they were both good friends
of hers, and she wished them well.
Jeanne had always told her that
she was a fool to waste her life on
those boys Was she? Sometimes
she thought so, too: but what was
she going to do about IT? They
were practically as helpless as
babies. Besides, her mother had
entrusted them to her. even though
she was not the oldest. Still she

she had to take care OF them:
that is. wash. sew, mend and cook
for them. 1t was a good thing she
could cook we'll: that was the only
thing the boys ever complimented
her on. They told their friends,

But one evening when she was

Al King walked in. Al was in

asked him II he didn't want to help
finish the dishes. They were chat

when suddenly he asked her to
marry him, She thought 1t was
part of a joke. and laughed; OF
course he wasn't serious, But he
protested that he was, and that he
had often thought OF her. she would
make such a fine wife. She knew
he didn't love her. and she didn't
love him His answer to this was,
that since they both respected
each other, love would come. She
said. No to his question first and

thought IL over. Had she been a
