Curious Taxes.

Early English statesmen imposed a
tax on boards. When II was levied II
was a real hardship, and, in fact, was
meant 10 be such. 1t was imposed by
the Normans, and was directed
against the Saxons, o Of whom
were, to use a topical expression,
beavers" In the reign OF William
III births, marriages and burials were
taxed. At that time, too, there was
a tax on bachelors, and on widowers
too. Horses were once taxed, and, by
way of protest, one farmer rode to
market on his COW.

How II will be celebrated Is an
other story. since Just now the Cd

is in a transition stage. The fash

the spirit of the celebrating COM

necessity will be done. And, with
pleasant weather, most of our cltl-
zens will celebrate in the open
air.

Stormy Period Has
Retarding Effect on
Trade Says Bradstreet

New York, Feb. 16.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
The most severe and widely eX-
tended storm of the winter has had
a retarding effect on many lines OF
trade, tending especially to reduce
retail trade. and even measurably
affected iobbing trade in slowing
down movements of read statesmen.
Farm product receipts in the west
and coal and raw material deliveries
to industry have been checked, and
car loadings have fallen off. Collec-
tons have slowed a trfle also. Coal
buying has been sharply stimulated.
These more or less temporary in
fluences. however, have not prevent
ed good volume of seasonal job
bling trade, which has felt, and still
feels. the stimulating effects of nu.
merOus shows, conventions and ex-
positions. The larger markets gen.
orally are reported full Of buyers. who
are operating confidently for nearby
wants, but conservatively as to the
future, owing to price uncertainties.

LAW
ACTION TAKEN
Police to Continue Campaign
Against Alleged Sunday
Selling in Local Stores.

The police probably will strictly
enforce the Sunday law in regard
to clothing stores and similar es-
adjustments being closed on the
Sabbath, as a result of the arraign-
ment of two Dublin merchants last
night on complaint of two other
merchants from the same section.
The merchants were informed that a
fine can be imposed for this viola
tion, and the only reason they We're
fined last night vas because there
was no evidence to show who did the
selling.
Harris Cohen, of 322 Smith street
and Ida Bodine of 335 Smith street
were the merchants summoned, and
Louis Isenberg and Sidney jacobson
were the compliments. Their names
headed a petition signed by twenty
eight Dublin merchants, which was
sent to Chief Niels J. Tonnesen urg-
ling that the Sunday closing law be
enforced.
Cohen was represented at last
nights hearing by David T. Wilentz.
| Isenberg, Jacobson or officer John
Kurpiel who issued the summons,
could not tell who did the selling in
the Cohen establishment and there
fore no fine was imposed.
Merchants on Smith street from
the Central railroad tracks to David
| son avenue are interested in the
movement. 1t is probable a special
watch will be kept next Sunday for
vi%olators.
