I want to buy a jar of honey. She handed it to him and said, Twenty-fiv- e cents, please, and one cent state sales tax. Oh, no, said he, I dont pay that tax. Im a Federal With that, he swaggered out, man. Im g ranchers wife to pay the the leaving tax. penny This was such a glaring case of official power and privilege to escape the obligations of citizenship, that I was astounded. If this public servants salary which g wois paid in part by the taxes of the man to whom he refused to pay the penny tax is exempt from taxes, it is bad enough; if he uses his official position to bluff his way out of paying taxes, it is that much worse. The moral of this incident is simple: In these days of exorbitant taxation, it is unjust, unfair and undemocratic that any government office holder be granted any exemption from taxation not granted to a private citizen who pays the wages or salary of the office holder. It is no harder for a public servant to pay taxes out of his income, than it is for a private citizen to pay it out of his own earnings. Special privileges for officialism, at public expense, must be curbed or the common citizen will become nothing but a tax slave to dig up money for the bureaucrats. By R. M.

What a rotten world it all was! But I had no hand in the making of it, and it wasn't my task to improve it. I was going to get the best I could out of it. Eat, drink and be merry, that was the last word of philosophy. Others seemed to be able to extract all kinds of happiness from thingB as they are, so why not I? In any case, here was tho solution of my troubles. Better to die happily drunk than miserably sober. I was not drinking from weakness. Oh no I was drinking with deliberate intent to kill pain. How wonderfully strong I felt! I smashed my clenched fist against the bar. My knuckles were bruised and bleeding, but I felt no pain. I was so light of foot, I imagined I could jump over the counter. I ached to fight some one. Then all at once came the thought of Berna. It came with tragical suddenness, with poignant force. Intensely it smote me as never before. I could have burst into maudlin tears. What's the matter. Slim?" asked a mouldy mannikin, affectionately hanging on to my arm. Disgustedly I looked at him. Take your filthy paws off me, I said. His jaw dropped and he stared at me. Then, before he could draw on his fund of profanity, I burst through the throng and made for the door. I was drunk, deplorably drunk, and I was bound for the Tivoli. ! I wish it to be understood that I make no excuses for myself at this particular stage of my chronicle. I am only conscious of a desire to tell the truth. Many of the stronger-mindewill no doubt condemn me; many of those inclined to a rigid system of morality will be disgusted with me; but, however it may be, I will write plainly and without reserve. When I reeled out of the Grubstake Saloon I was in a peculiar state of exaltation. No longer was I conscious of the rasping cold, and It seemed to me I could have couched me in the deep snow as cosily as in a bed of down. Surpassingly brilliant were the lights. They seemed to convey to me a portentous wink. They twinkled with jovial cheer. What a desirable place the world was, after all! With an ebullient sense of eloquence, of extravagant oratory, I longed for a sympathetic ear. An altruistic emotion pervaded me. Who would suspect, thought I, as I walked a little too circumspectly amid the throng, that my heart was aglow, that I was tensing my muscles in the pride of their fitness, that my brain was a bewildering kaleidoscope of thoughts and images? Gramophones were braying in every conceivable key. Brazen women Were leering at me. men regarded me furtively. Allurana dancing-dive- s ingly the gambling-den- s invited me.

Miners with flushed faces and a wild excitement in their eyes were plunging recklessly; others, calm, alert, anxious, were playing cautiously. Here and there were the fevered faces of women.

Looking at many of faces one could see those that there was no harm in their hearts. They were honest, uncouth, simple; they were just like children, the children of the Wild. A woman of generous physique was singing in a shrill, nasal voice a pathetic ballad.

He tugged open his poke and, dipping into it, he produced a big nugget Twisting this in a scrap of paper, he rose up, long, lean and awkward, and with careful aim he threw it on the stage. Here ye are, Lulu, he piped in his shrill voice. The woman, turning in her exit, picked up the offering, gave her admirer a wide, smile, and threw him an emphatic kiss. As the man sat down I could see his mouth twisting with excitement, and his watery blue eyes snapped with pleasure. By heck, he said, "she's great ain't she? Many's the bottle of wine Ive opened for that there girl. Guess she'll be glad when she hears old Henrys in town again. Henrys my name, Hardpan Henry they call me, an I've got a claim on Hunker.

There was a flutter of the heliotrope curtains, and the face of Lulu, peeping over the plush edge of a box, smiled bewitchingly upon him. With another delighted chuckle the old man went to join her. Darned old fool, said a young man on my left. He looked as if his veins were chuckful of health; his skin was clear as a girl's, his eye honest and fearless.

Then the girl will pry him loose from hell start up his poke, and the creek, teetering and swearing he's had a dooce of a good tima. Hes the easiest thing on earth. The Youth paused to look on a new singer. She was a souhrette, trim, dainty and confident. She wore a blond wig, and her eyes in their pits of black were alluringly bright. Paint was lavished on her face in violent dabs of rose and white, and the Inevitable gold teeth gleamed in her smile. She wore a black dress trimmed with sequins, stockings of black, a black velvet band around her "Hm neck. She was greeted with much applause, and she began to sing in a fairly sweet voice. .tn.r OF (OL.NTY NOTICE CACHE.
