TAX PAID RELIEVES PEOPLE
eerksdaIe Township in Wisconsin
VIII Have More Money Than
Ever to Spend

Washburn. Wis Because OF taxes
paid in by tie Du Pont Powder Works,
Ire people of Brksdale township will
lave no taxes to pay the coming year,
and will have something like s1lS,O0D
10 spend.
For a score of years the town has
Struggled close TO the railroad tracks,
unkempt and poor. The population of
the township in 1910 was 303. The in.
habitants were farmers, lumber jacks,
hunters and trappers. Today the poru-
lation is about 500. The town cast sS
votes at a recent election.
The Du Pont Powder. Co. built a big
plant in the northeast corner of the
township. Not soul stays at the pow
Ger plant at night, unless it be the big
private police force. All the munition
workers live in the town Of Washbarn
just north of the township line. The
Wisconsin income tax law provides
that corporations must pay percent
age OF net earnings to the township
wherein the industry is located.
The township has maintained itself
and kept up its roads on an annual In.
come of about $4,000 Heretofore it has
raised enough to be able to spend
S22.09 per capita on its schools AMI
roads and other needed things includ-
ing salaries OF officials 1t will have
sl62.25 per capita to spend and there
will be no taxes.

TIE FATE OF PoRTHoS.

SEINE years ago there lived man
named Aromys who owned a herd of
eamets. People would come and rent
eamels from him to take them across
the desert. He had Il young camel
named P0rthos for his net. While
travelling through France one time,
Mr.. Aromys had made the acquain
tanee OF a gentleman named Porthos
who was known for his strength and
ability. AS this pet camel was super
Tor to any camel he had ever had Mr.
Aromys thought the name Por,hos
well suited TO him.
one day Mr.. ArOmys was travelling
In the desert with all his eamels.
when he was attacked by robbers. The
men told him that they would do him
no harm, but that they wanted his
camels. But Mr.. Aromys wouldn't
give up the animals as easy as all
that. especially as he saw some PEG
pie coming near who. be thought.
we're his friends. There was a sharp
Tight, and Mr.. Aromys and his friends
Won victory over The robbers. AT.
ter they had killed several the rest
TOOK TO their heels and fled. As Mr.
Afomys arrived home he looked his
camels over, and to his great sorrow
Porthos was missing. He looked ey.
erywhere. but couldn't find him, and
he could only think that Porthos must
have run away during the fisht in the
desert. SO, though he missed his pet.
he could only be thankful that he still
mad The other camels and could SUP
port his family through them.
Some time after all this happened.
Mr.. Maynard, the manager OF ZOO
IN large park in Illinois, was pass.
ing thru the desert where Porthos
was lost, when he saw 4 camel wan.
dering all alone by himself. He look.
ed him over. and thought him the
finest camel he had ever seen, so he
took him home and put him in the
200.
Near the park lived a man named
Mr. Lacour He had three children.
Beatrice, 10 years old, Charles, 8. and
their little sister Gretchen. These
children frequently went in the park
to play among the shady trees, and
they often saw Mr.. Maynard parade
Porthos thru the park, for he took
more pride in the camel than in any
animal in the ZOO.
One day Charles Lacour asked Mr..
Maynard il he might have a ride on
he camel, and Mr. Maynard agreed.
You ought to have seen how politely
porthos stopped down so that Charles
,ould climb on his back. He must
rave remembered those days in the
iesert when he carried merchants.
When Mr. Maynard saw how proud.
y Porthos walked with Charles on
lis back, he decided to use the camel
o give children rides around the
lark, and after that Beatrice, Charles
md Gretchen could be seen every day
KING a ride. and Porthos enjoyed it
IS much as anybody.

fired at MIN, and put a ball in
the door.facing near his head.
Only one shot was fired at the
robbers, and that was by Isaac
Cravens, now deceased. He was
salesman at the old stand OF
Phillips, Bradshaw & Co.. at the
time. and he came to the front
and fired a pistol at one of the
men. but having no support, and
only a small pistol, he was COM
PEELED to beat a retreat.
1t required only a few mo-
ments for the men in the bank
to get all they could there. 1t is
probable they were not in the
bank exceeding ten or fifteen
minutes. The burglar-proof safe,
in which was kept most the
money and valuables, was locked
and could not be entered, and
the robbers succeeded in getting
nothing except the money in the
cash drawer, amounting to only
a few hundred dollars.
1t will never be known what,
if anything, occurred in the bank
between Mr.. Martin and the rob-
bers after the other gentlemen
escaped. When Mr.. Martin was
found, after the robbers had
gone, he was in the vault and
dead. He had evidently been
carried around behind the coun-
ter to the vault for the purpose
of making him unlock the safe,
when it was discovered that il
was locked. Either he refused
to open it, and was killed be-
cause of the refusal, or he was
carried around after he was shot
and before he expired, the rob-
bers thinking that he was only
slightly wounded, and they coulo

wound in front of the counter
and from the hands of the frs
man who entered the bank, tina
he did not expire Immediately
