Years ago, Richard II. Dana, a very
we'll introduced young American, was
much entertained by the greatest and
most distinguished Of the English elite.
In his book, "Hospitable England in
the Seventies. Mr.. Dana shows many
charming and amusing pictures Of the
period. Once, for instance, on a gala
day he saw Queen Victoria make a
wonderful bull's-eye at one thousand
yards. The young mans suspicious
were aroused, and he asked how it
was possible for her to shoot so well,
and Lord Spencer explained to him
that the rifle was set in q wise, IL the

times until it was exactly adjusted
and then silken cord was tied at one

WOMEN MUST PAY POLL TAX
LEGISLATURE RULES

The office of the state auditor is
abolished under the provisions of a
bill passed by the Senate Tuesday
afternoon, and a bureau of inspection
is created under a companion meas
ure which was also adopted.
The Democratic steam roller was
called into play and all of the meas
ures which had the approval of the
caucus were passed with the excep-
tion of one, which was set for special
order for Wednesday.
The Republican opposition to the
bill was feeble, six votes being cast

ing recorded in two instances.
Four bills, the first imposing
poll tax upon men and women alike,
the second providing for the method
of assessment, the third requiring
the tax to be paid so days before
election, and the fourth making it
mandatory upon the part of the
county trustees to file poll tax lists
with the secretary Of state at least
so days before elections, were passed
in rapid succession.
The last Of these bills provides for
the custer of county trustees who
fail to comply with the provisions
of the act
Senator Craig, of Lauderdale county,
declared that the bill was in line
with the governors recommends
lions that departments be CONSOLE
dated and useless offices be dispens-
ed with and that the bill was spon-
sored hv the survey committee, Of
which Senator Tucker and Represen-
tative Luther, Republicans, were
members.

reau of inspection, TO be under the
supervision of the state banking de-
partment, provides for two account
ants at $2,450 year and steno-
grapher at 81 200 year. The duties

ty officials at least once a year..

We hope you children realize how
anxious the church is that each child
leaving the 0rphanage will be we'll
equipped to fight life's battles, and
to be an honor to yourselves and the
home, as the home is to fit you for
the work that is to be yours in after
life. And now while your minds are
fresh is the time of all times to
grasp everything within your reach
that is for your good We realize
that these little lives which have
been entrusted to our care must be
moulded into real men and women
and we have been striving to that
end. We hope that whoever our sue
cessors may be that success may
crown their efforts in this direction.
There win linger in our hearts a
tender spot for the home as long as
there is pulsation. To our assistants,
Mrs. Thomas Anderson, Of this coun-
ty, Mrs. Beach, Misses Anderson and
Kestner, we desire to express our
gratitude for the faithful perform
anc of their duties rendered during
the time we have been here.

who have guided the affairs of the
home, we are grateflR for your inter
est and constant helpfulness in car
rying forward this great work. We
must say that during our past IL
years Of institutional work we have
never worked under more agreeable
people, and to the Father who rules
and governs the affairs and con-
ditions of the universe, we are thank
full for what we have accomplished.
