Dr. olsmoa Appeals to Mayor
Jim, Wt Pay th Frflf1
nd liars Let the Coart
A Nr.w Proposition In La w Can prop
ftjr bought with money received from the
government ss a pension be confiscated for
taxes?
Dr. Solomon Is a veteran of the civil war.
When bis roods were loaded on a wagon
and hauled sway to satisfy a demand for
delinquent taxes he promptly called at the
mo of Mayor "Jim." an old friend.
"Those food were bought with money
from my pension," he declared, "and they
can't take them for taxes."
Me further Insisted that the mayor so
down with him and lend tthe weight of
his presence when he paid the taxes, which
hs had decided to do under protest. Bo
Mayor "Jim" accompanied the physician
to the treasurer's office, the doctor having
handed him 1120.23, the amount of the
taxes to be paid. Treasurer Fink received
the party personally.
"We are going to pay these taxes," an
nounced the mayor with dignity. "Hut we
want It nnderstood that we do so under
protest The goods were bought with pen
sion money received by Dr. Solomon from
the government."
Flak Is Dambfownded.
Mr. 'Pink stared, dumbfounded.
"Why, what In the world Is the matter
with you?" he finally exclaimed. "There
Is no law of that kind and It Is foolish to
talk about It."
The major waved his hand with an air
that said discussion would be useless.
"We'll let the courts decide that." he
said loftily.
Later the treasurer appeared in ths
mayor's office to protest that he could
never hope to grt any court to decide such
a Qulxotlo proposition In his favor and that
he waa foolish to advance 11 of his own
money to back a man who rested his
claim upon It, .
But the mayor smiled not and only an
swered again with the cryptic:
"WVtl see what the courts say to that."

something like a Suit
Our Boss doesn't care a ran whether,
A Sleeve or a Collar Is put on properly, or
the Foundation of ths Coat's Shape
the Canvas and Haircloth are put in as
.they should be.
Everything's wrong from Cutting' to
Finishing.
The so-called "suit" might be mad half
presentable if It were taken apart and al
together Remade by Someone who know

Biree that would add to the Cost.
Instead he gives the Thing to Old Dr.

And Old Dr. Ooose presses here
stretches or shrinks there aud In a jiffy
has as fin a looking Suit as you would
w ant to see
That's all the Boss Wants.
For he knows that al he'll hnv to do
will be to tell Rome one a Fnlry Tale, and
that Someone may buy that Suit and think
for a Week or so that's It's a Dandy.

quest of Commissioners Brunlntf and
Tralnor, the resolution was not introduced
at the meeting Saturday morning, but will
be held for a week.
It was proposed to pay Mr. Latenser $1,000
for this work. The resolution declares that
public sentiment is largely . In favor of a
new building and that the building oould
be constructed and the bonds and Interest
paid without Increasing the present tax
levy.
As soon as ths resolution goes through
petitions Intended to test publlo sentiment
on the proposition will be circulated over
the county and unless opposltlou which is
not looked for develops the question will
be submitted at the coming election. The

This Is a tale of three dear girls and

On of the young women is th presiding
genius of an office In a Farnam street

She invited two friends to go to lunoh
with her one day last week.
"Now, don't order a big dinner and
'break' me Ilk you might do If I were a
man," cautioned the hostess aa they took
their chairs at a table In a Farnam street
cafe.
"Well. I'll take a dill pickle and a
cracker," announced on of the other young
women falling In with this request.
"Oh, no, I don't mean that," said ths
hostess. "But we can get a nice little
lunch for 80 or 40 cents. Now. let's see,
we all like chicken sandwiches."
And so, with proper feminine deliberation,
the lunch was ordered. Tbe hostess wrote
the order down. It was to be three chicken
sandwiches, three cups of coffee and three
dishes of Ice cream.
And then the three chattered gaily away,
telling each other about new gowns and
"how much it would take for the waist,"
and other topics of femlntns Interest. They
were Interrupted by the approach of a
waiter with an Immense tray. He depos
ited It solemnly next to their table and
began moving the dishes to the table. First
he deposited three whole chickens, each on
n immense platter and each surrounded
with all that goes with on of those
properly furnished triumphs of the oullnary
art Bach chicken loomed up before Its
respective young woman like a small
mountain
Kebody Saya a Word.
None of the three could say a word.
They sat dumbfounded while the waiter
added dish after dish, surrounding the
huge chickens with a veritable brood of
smaller dishes till th table was com
pletely covered.
By this time the two guests were having
difficulty In repressing their laughter. Th
hostess found her vole.
"Is this what I ordered?" she asked the
waiter. That functionary produced the
slip. There wae the fatal error. The young
woman had written "chicken" where she
should have written "chicken sandwich."
But she wss game.
"Oh, yes, all right," she said, and ths
throe "fell to." None of the explanations I
of the hostess to th effect that she mean! I
to order chicken to surprlss them would
"go." "Why did you asK to see the slip,
then?" they asked her.
They contrived to make some slight im
pression on the immense nrrav of edibles.
Before they left the hostess exacted a
promise that they would tell no one of the
error. But others were already "on." That
evening the hostess waa kept busy answer
ing the telephone. One voice asked If it
was she who had "ordered them chickens."
Another purported to be from tho butchi r,
who begged to announce that he had some
fine pullets lust killed and would Bhe look
in and see them in the morning. A girl
called up to tell rather Irrelevantly how
she "Just loved roast chicken." -
