(From London Tit-Bits.)
In the reign of Elizabeth every
beard of fortnight's growth was
subject to a tax. Peter thu Great,i in
1905, imposed a lax upon the boards
of the Russian mobiles of 100 rubles,
while the common peoples beard tax
amounted to / kopec This tax caus
ed much dissatisfaction, but III spite
of this the impost was extended to
st. Petersburg in 1714.
The tax on boards was confirmed
by Catherine in 1906, by Peter II. in
1928, by Empress Anne in 1871, and
in 1743 by the Empress Elizabeth.
1t was repealed by Catherine II. in
1862.
In France a beard tax was imposed
upon the clergy. The celebrated: :Du-
prat Lord High Chancellor of France
was the adviser of the measure, and
a bull was published by the Pope en-
Joining the clergy to shave their
chins.
Then a tax was levied by the King
upon all who wished to be exempted
from the harsh DEGREES.
The bishop and others who could
afford the means paid the tax, but
the poorer clergy were obliged to
yield at the point of the razor.

HOLDS UP STATE PAYMENTS

state has not yet filed its answer to

High-Milage Tires
Reduire Some Care

Don't neglect your tire sjust be-
cause they stay up and give you long
SERVICE" is the advice of the service
manager of the Fisk Rubber Co..
I'm these days when the science OF
manufacture has progressed to the
stage where high mileages, unknown
in the earlier days, are now the gem
eral rule, it is convenient for many
to drive recklessly along without
thought or regard for their tires.
''Tires need attention the same as
your motor. They need to be prop
erly fitted to the rim and wheel.
They must be trued up and the
wheels must be aligned regularly.
Gashes and cuts picked up on sharp
stones or trolley switches should be
treated and cared for like any
wound. There's a way to do this at
a cost of only a few cents. Any re-
liable tire dealer can provide you
with Fillicut and show you how to
use it.
Look out for those little things
regularly, make a habit of it, and
you'll add many more miles to your
tire life and obtain the full service
that modern tire construction builds
into your casings."

smiling, happy that their day had

They have put on school shows in
Crisp county many a time before
this, but they have never done quite
so well. Parades are not usually half
so good, They came carly and kept
coming. Every school was represent

but with large numbers OF them in

expectant. At the fair grounds today
they arc in the very air, all over the

What joyful tidings do they tell

Perhaps some doves there nesting.
And while each little bosom swells.
And warm, they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and it feels
So incubated it would swing
To life and wake the world with peals
OF gladness as for new-crowned King.
Those midnight bells. how sweet they
chime;
The welkin vibrates with their sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime.
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
Lol now j see, from East afar
A light shines through the steeple's
frame. .
.Tis brighter than the brightest star.
1t gilds the bells with golden flame;
There, too, see some eherubs cling
Fast hold the ropes How fair they bel
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
.'This is the Christs nativity.
Wake every heart, join in their song tia
Of praise to Christ, our newborn Efngi,
To i'm our sweetest strains belong,
And his, our richest offering
When wakes the god of day, and shines
Athwart the heavens, what of glee
Will wake as well2 With box and pines
And flowers CAV. yon house willfsbe

With organs voice, all Christen dom
Will vibrant be as are those beilss
