these modern t. xes. The mois-
ture beads upola my brow, for
life seems hars h and spiteful,
there are so ns my taxes now,
and all of them are frightful.
1t is with darl and gloomy
frown l pen my rhythmic sal
lies; assessors dog me over
town, and chase r,e through the
alleys. | think about the ood
old times. and pray for Their re-
turning. when ma could brag
about the dimes Il at haply he
was earning, | USED to walk the
village square, before the war
befell us, and fash m J bundle in
the air, to make my neighbors
jealous. And that's Ia comfort
no man knows in thu harsh
times of taxes; no vote r will his
wad disclose-it wanes, instead
of wakes. I'm taxed by city,
county. state, and by the hun
cry nation; and every day | send
a crate of kopecks to the sta
ton. And when my busy Tyre
IS stllled, my timbrel flushed
forever, and lie prone, by taxes
killed, and done with all en-
deavor, the tax collectors will
arrive, all through the house
they'll trundle, and, with the
laws assistance, strive to bear
away my bundle. Oh, that's the
meanest tax of all. as hard
worked men consider, that will
approach the bier and pail, and
rob a weeping widder. They
tax us roundly while we live,
and bring us ruination. and all,
the taxing powers should give
corpse real vacation.

Valley City is now assured Of a very
adequate supply Of water according
to Mayor Bonhus and he and the city
council feel very much pleased and re-
lieved thereby. The city has three
pumps at the we'll and one of them has
been out of commission and the two
pumps working have been pumping
about 1900 gallons minute which is
ample for all needs of the city and
these pumps have been unable to
diminish the supply at all. There
seems to be an unlimited amount. Be
fore the well was fixed over all the
water supply we had was about 300 to
$50 gallons per minute SO you can
readily see that with practically over
cur times as much water as we had
before we should be we'll taken care
of along these lines. The taxpayers
will be glad to know that the admins

proposition which has cost the city less
