You're a good old dog, though, and I'll get. '-' a piece of meat." That is the way it was a month ago. "Get out of here, you measly lowlived cur. What right have you to be hanging around here? Sic 'em. Git this ant. no place for you. There you are, get off that lawn. I wish a ttoiiciA jnan would conic along and drag you ff to the crematory." That, is the ptory as it is heard today. "What makes the difference?" . 3iot.hing much, only the tax assessor may be at the house next door and coming to your house in a few minutes." "I never saw so many disowned doga in all my life. The town is overrun with them. It seems funny, though, that so many appear clean and well fed. Don't see how this happens when nobody pretends lo own them. See that bull-terrier there? His collar bears the name and address of his owner, but the man named told me last night he doesn't own a dog," remarked a deputy township assessor in "telling of his trials. The troubles of the assessors to locate the owners of dogs are many, and because of the subterfuges resorted to, there will be a. large numlier of canines to escape taxation. The majority of the dog owners do not understand the law's relating to the taxation of the pels. It. is known, however, that if they own a dog they are supposed to pay for the privilege. The first of the amended dog tax laws provides that the owner-is liable for the tax as soon as the dog becomes three months old, no matter what the season of the year, nor if ownership were acquired after the assessor made bis rounds. A fraction of a year is regarded as an entire year. The tax on each malo dog is $1 and on each female dog $3. The assessor collects the tax and furnishes the owner with a receipt. The receipts are not transferable and as often as the dog changes owners a new receipt is obligatory on the new owner. For violation of the law, the owner is liable to a fine of from $3 to $20. A false statement as to sex, or harboring a dog without reporting it is punishable by a fine of $100. If you harbor a strange dog by feeding or concealing it, and fall to pay the tax, you are liable to the $100 fine. It Is the duty of the assessor to keep all dog tax records and make a true report to the trustee. Any failure on his part makes him liable to a fine of $20.

Week of March 16 Vaudeville. GENNETT. March 21 (Matinee and Night) "Tho Widow McCarty." March 26 "The Sweetest Girl in Dixie." Vaudeville at the Phillips. Harry DeBar, who is appearing 'at the New Phillips this week as a blackface singer and comedian, sings the song made famous by Walker and "Williams, entitled, ' Let It Alone." DeBar is able to get good results with this song, which is splendid when properly sung, and distressing when not in the hands of an artist. DeBar also has some new stories that set the audiences roaring. All the nice things that have been said about "The Circus Rider," the headline act on the hill this week are substantiated by the hundreds who have already been at the house. "The Widow McCarty." Of ' The Widow McCarty." which comes to the Genuott next Saturday, anitinee and night, an exchange says: "The Widow McCarty," which is the attraction at the opera house Monday night, has been termed a musical "'giii fizz." The story of the "widow"" concerns hersv-If, who cannot touch two millions left her by her deceased busband should she marry before her four daughters have found husbands. As the gay widow cruises along the sands of Coney Island she meets Barney Muldoon, whom she considers her affinity. Immediately they begin trying to marry off the four McCarty girls. This situation leads up to a number of other amusing situations and funny complications. Tit Twlllcrfct Of Llfo. The muscles of the stomach in oid age are not as strong- or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to cons tipa. two and Indigestion. Many seldom have a Ix.wel movement without artificial aid. Iany 10, have unpleasant eructation of gas from tne stomach atter eating. All this can be avoidert by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which permanently regulates the bowels so that passages come naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that locd is cliReMrd without discomfort.

There was one little incident in Robert Fulton's IhNj which Fulton nevei forget. It towk place shortly before the return trip of his famous boat's voyage by steam up the Hudson river. At the time all Albany flocked to the wharf to see. the itrr.pge craft, but so timorous were they that fw cared to board her. One gentleman, however, not only boarded her, but sought out Fulton, whom h found in the cabiu, and the following conversation took place: "This is Mr. Fulton, I presume?" "i'o-s, sir." "Do yoi; return to New York with this boatr "We shall try to get back, sir." "Have you any objection to my returning with you?" "If you wish to take your chances with us, sir, I have no objection." 1 "What is the fare?" After a moment's hesitation Fulton replied, "Six dollars." And when that amount was laid in his hand he gaze: at it a long time, and two big tea; rolled down his cheeks. Turning to the passenger, he said: "Excuse me, sir, but this is the first pecuniary reward I have received for all my exertion in adapting steam to navigation. I would gladly commemorate the occasion with a little dinner, but I am too poor now even for that. If we meet again I trust it will not he the case." As history relates, the voyage terminated successfully. Four years later Fulton was sitting in the cabin of the Clermont, then called the North River, when a gentleman entered. Fulton glanced at him and then sprang up and gladly shook his hand. It was his first passenger, and over a pleasant little dinner Fulton entertained his guest with the history of his success and ended with saying that the first actual recognition of his usefulness to his fellow men was the $6 paid to him by his first passenger. GLASGOW'S SLUMS. Its Awful Sleeping Quarters and Its "Penny Pawns." In the Militate Monthly there is a description of the "Alsatia of Glas gow" the Cowcaddens where "alt that is most unsalubrious and repellent in our mo. ,rn life is to be found." Ride by side with all that is demoralizing live and flourish harpies of various kinds and degrees. None is so dangerous to the health of the community as she who night after night seeks to make a dishonest penny by overcrowding br slummy house. Sanitary inspectors find the occupants of overcrowded houses, in their attempt to avoid detection, concealed in every conceivable corner hidden In cupboards, under beds and even on the housetops. Two tiers of people have been fount! in one bed, one on the boards or mattress, the bed then fluug over, and another living tier on the top. WLt are known as "penny pawns" abound in the district. A broker who keeps one of these can purchase an article of any value from a peruiy upward, lie is compelled to keep it for only seven full days, and at tbe end of that period he may sell it to whomsoever he chooses, and that, too, in all probability, for several hundred per cent more than he paid for it. Thousands of poor people are entirely fgnor-aut of the difference between a pawnbrokiug establishment and a ;'penny pawn." with the result that in many cases when they go to the latter tluv lnse goods which, if pledged with the former, they might hav redeemed in time. To calculate the rate of flow of an artesian well a simple plan is to lower a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of, say, 50t feet and then electrically explode a cap to burst the bottle.

New State School Law Adds Additional Expense Upon Hagerstown Board.
INCREASES THE TAX LEVY. 3Y CONDUCTING HIGH SCHOOL JOINTLY BETWEEN TOWNSHIP AND TOWN, TAX LEVY COULD BE LOWERED FORTY CENTS. Hagerstown, Ind., March 1. That some c.iange will soon bt, made in the management and business policy of the Hagerstown schools, is now almost a foregone conclusion. The law passed requiring that teachers shall receive more pay and that only a certain number of teachers shall be in charge of one school is the cause for the present consideration of some changes. In order that ihe Hagerstown high school shall maintain her place as a commissioned high school of Indiana, it. will be necessary that 1 lie number of teachers shall be increased. It will take $1,000 more to care for the schools in the future, under (he new law, than at present. The proposition to place the schools under the management of the township trustee, has been seriously considered. Another plan that has been proposed is to conduct the schools under the joint management of the townLship trustee and school board, thereby allowing both country and town scholars to share equally the privilege of the schools, the expenses for maintainence being met by school tax which would be equally divided between county and town. Should a contract of this kind be entered into, the school tax in the corporation would be lowered forty cents, while that in the country would be raised a proportional amount. Under a plan of tliis kind it is proposed to allow the school buildings and grounds to remain the property of the town. One of I wo things will have to be done if these plans are adopted. The schools will have to be turned over to the management of township trustee, or conducted under the joint management of town board and trustee, or cut the present term of school in town, down to six months each year. WATER IN TURKEY. Mont Meet Many Conditions to Be m Perfect Berfrtge. "Turks are extremely particular," writes a traveler, "in regard to the quality of the water they drink and are Avilling to be at much trouble ami expense to obtain water of the ki'jd they prefer. To be a perfect beverage water must issue from a rock, fall from a height, be of medium temperature, flow rapidly and copiously, taste sweet, spring in high and lonely ground and run from south to north or from east to west. The excellence of any water is accordingly determined by the number of these conditions it fulfills. It is remarkable how much pleasure Turks find in visiting a famous spring in the country, to spend the whole day beside It under the shad? of trees, doing little else than drink carafe after carafe of the water as the elixir of life. Iiesorts of this description abound on the shores and in the valleys of the upper Bosporus under such names as the Water of Life, the Silver Water, the Water Under the Chestnut Tree, the Water Beside the Hazels. The spectacle of the great gatherings there on Fridays, arrayed in bridal colors, seated tier above tier on the terraced platforms built against the green slope of the hill, the women above, the men below, all in the deep shade of the branches meeting overhead, forms a picture beyond a painter's power to reproduce. Chicago News. Hot Drinks For Thirst. It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach and so create thirst. Experience shows it to be a fact that hot dtfinks relieve the thirst and cool off the body when it is in an abnormally heated, condition better than ice cold drinks. It Is far better and safer to avoid the use of drinks below CO degrees. In fact, a higher temperature is to be preferred, and those who are much troubled with thirst will do well to try the advantages to be derived from hot drinks instead of cold fluids, to which they have been accustomed. Hot drinks also have the advantage of aiding digestion instead of causing debilV;y of the stomach and bowels. TO ICE CONSUMERS.

A night robe of Mack satin bound '. with black taffeta and edged with vel-1 vet of the same color was daintily ; fashioned for Anne Bob'vn. , I More luxurious still was one owned by Queen Bess. It was of black velvet, fur lined, and greatly offset by flowing borders of silk lace. And in 13G8 her majesty gave orders that George Brodigman should deliver "threescore and six best sable skynnes. to furnish us a night gown."' Con? years later her highness orders the delivery of '-twelve yards of purple velvet, friezed on, the back s.vde, with white and russet silke." for a night gown for herself ami also orders the delivery of fonrtet-n yards of murry damask for the "luakynye of a uiht gowne"' for some one ele. Night gowns for ladies of a later period were called 'tnght vails.'' In Queen Anne's time it was the fashio? to wear them over the customary dress in the streets in the daytime, when out on a pleasure walk. And. as was fitting, ladies who indulged iu night caps had them alo made of silk oi velvet, with "mucli pretty garnishing of lace and glittering- cord--.'' and the fair ones made presentation of eo-nv caps to ciit-h other as toieas of reupevt or acfectio-i.
