U*«M i J* Dv'troit Free Pro««. 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. GLOVER & DUNN (SUCCESSORS TO W . T.

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 “In a moment, in rapture, I con-! seated, and, taking my hand, , gently, very geniiv fim. ind quietly j head and burst int< a laid it • ugh that i*. r:i .**ro- m my ears vet Hiring mourning suit*.

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.” New Arlthinellr.
