There is always n great deal of talk
about tin* way rich men avoid puyiug
taxes mi personal property, but it is
tint their fault. It is simply because
tlw asMssors don’t happen to put
i h. iu in mind of it. Here in Detroit
the ntlnr day, when the assessor was
making his rounds, and after ho had
Hi.t through with a rich man’s real es-
nite, he suddenly remarked:
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Tinknm,
haven’t yon any personal property li
able totaxation ?”
“Me? Why,no.”
“Haven’t you a gold watch ?
“Let’s see—let’s see,” he mused, as
his hand slid down to tho chain;
“come to think of it, I have.”
“And a piano?”
“Piano? Piano? Now that you re
mind me of it, I believe I’ve got a pi-
„ t of *
auo. '
“And how many horses ?”
“Horses? Well, I declare, but I
have three! If you hadn’t mentioned
it. I should have never thought of
them ugain,’^
“And carriages?”
“Carriages? Let’s see. That’s so;
I've got too of them.”
“And I presume yon have at least
$2,000 worth of statuary and paint
ings?'’
"Me? In myhonBe?”
“Yus.”
“Well, now, tbnt'8 odd 1 If yon
'hadn't mentioned them I should have
T**rgotten that I had any. Dear roe!
hut I can see every day bow I fail.”
“ Ali'd about your wife’s gold watch,
damonds and other jeuelry? Call
Vi“ a thousand dollars?',
“My wife ! Ah, yes ! I have a wife,
b.n if yon hadn’t spoken uf it I should
ict have thought of it again. Yes, I
remember now— I have a wife and
iw * children. Bless me! but I must
1 growing old terribly fast! Well,
«i 11! but it was only tile other day I
was saying to myself that I ought t
g* t a cow or something to pay per
sonal tax on.”
“A cow, eh! I’ll put her down, too.
Can you remember any thing else ?”
“No, nothing. Fact is, I'm so poor
licit I've nothing for the Tax Collect-
■I to got hold on.”
Heme Without* Woman
#xl w _ #?
In the goodness of oar hearts, can
we not pity the occupants of a home
without a woman ? Sncb a home—
bow rayless, sad and lonely! As be
reft of charms as the rosbush without
its crimson roses! Desolate as the
desert without its cheery restful oasis !
Free of love’s sweetest fragrance as
the garden withont its darling flow
ers! As well might night be without
its luna and diadem of dazzling stars !
Truly are they to be pitied who live
in earth’s isolated retreats away from
woman’s loving charms. Thrice
blessed is ho who daily basks ia-vthe
sunshiny smiles of mother, wife and
sister. His borne should be an earth
ly parndise', a fit emblem of the habi
tation beyond tbe skies. Fair readers,
let yonr hearts go out in purest sym
pathy for those poor, loue beings wh
have not a mother’s loving counsel,
wife’s Loiy wooing, or'lsttter** twin
ing affection. Their homes are upon
earth’s desert waste, or along the
rock-bound shores.
Blot woman from existence and the
world wonld lie in midnight darkness.
She is the light of jibe world—mail’s
brightest flower, the poet’s guMidest
theme. Where woman dwells not.
the home is without its charms and
angel of peace. O man, be not. lack
ing in woman’s praise—her sweet in
fluences are ns vast as the ocean and
as high as the heavens. Let bur name
be inscribed upon the scroll of fame,
and every home on earth enjoy her
sweetest charms.

How the Widow Showed Him n Son
Place.
“I was down to see the widow yes-
ti-rday," snid Tim’s unci**, “and she
gave me backbones for diuuer. 1 went
down rather early in tbe morning; we
tulkod, and laughod, and ehntterod,
and run on, she going in and out oc
casionally to soo to things till dinner
was ready, when she belpod mo, gra
ciously to backbone. Now, Tim, I
thought that ratbor favorable. I took
it as a Bympton of personal approba
tion, because everybody knows I love
backbones, and I flattered myself she
bad cooked thorn on purpose for me.
So I grow particular! v cheerful, and I
thought I could see it in iior, too. So,
after diuner, while sitting closo be
side the widow, I fancied we both felt
sorter comfortable like—I know I did.'
I folt I had fallen bead and ears and
heart iirlove with her, and I imagined
from the way she looked, she had fal
len teeth and too nails in love with
uie. Stio appeared jnst for all the
world like she thought it was a own
ing—that I was going to court her.—
Presently—I couldn’t help -it—I laid
my band on, her beaatifnl shoulder,
and I remarked when I placed it there,
in my blandest tones, Tim, for I tried
to throw my whole soul into the ex
pression, I remarked then, with my
eyes pouring love, truth, and fidelity
right into her, ‘Widow, this is the
nicest, softest place I ever had my
hand in uil my life.’ ”
" Looking benevolently at , lU( j
si the same time flushing up a little
she said, in melting and winning
tones: ‘Doctor, give me your hand,
and I’ll put it on a much softer
place.’” j

Hiring mourning suit*.
New York Hun.
Also to hire, for funeral and other
occasions, dress suits of the finest
quality,” is a line at the bottom of a
recent advei lisement bv a Brooklyn
tailor.
“Do many people borrow suits for
funerals ?” we askod.
“Do they ? Well, I wish you wonld
stop a minute or two and see them
come along,” said ho, adding: “Why,
I thought it would suit a public do
main), having iii view only those who
aro included in what are called “the
masses,’’ but oven I was astonished
wliou I found well-to-do people, mer-
clmuts, officials, politicians, and, in
short, every sort of people applying
for overoonts, coats, trousers, or whole
suits in which to atteud funerals.—
Very often a poor man finds the cost
of a relative's funeral leaves him no
money for a mourning suit, which, af
ter all, he would only wear one day.
Quito ns often men iu better circum
stances d> onto to attend a funeral al
most ut iho last moment. Again,
there ore a great many men who are
so careful about their money that
they hire suits for all imaginable oc
casions rattier than buy them out
right.”
“Who: do yon charge ?”
Oh, we will loan a satin lined doe
skin overismi for a deposit of $20, an*I
when it is returned we will keep $2.
Here’s a black beaver suit for the
same money, and here's a common,
though very genteel anil that we will
loan for $1. We have a hundred such
suits for nil siz*'K, ages and styles of
persons. We inquire about the per
sons we loan them to, but sometimes
they fail to return the clothes. We
are obliged to take that risk.”
