HAVE TO PAY TAX.
Last Legislature Did Not
Repeal Act Taxing the
Canines.
It was supposed that at the last
session of the general assembly some
thing would be done towards modify
ing, if not repealing the act formerly
passed by which a tax of one dollar
was levied on all dogs in the state.
The friends of the original act and
those favoring some kind of modifica
tion of the law could not, or did not,
agree, and the act as originally passed
remains on the statute books.
This is the section of the act bearing
directly upon the collection of the tax:
“On all dogs the sum of one dollar
per head, such tax to be enforced by
levy and sale as other taxesare collect
ed, and not to interfere with the im
position and collection of any muni
cipal taxes on dogs, whether such dog
or dogs be owned by the tax-payer,
his wife or minor child; provided, that
in the event no purchaser at the sale
of any dog should bid the amount of
said execution, that the levying officer
sall cause said dog to be killed.”’
Shonld you refuse or fail to pay the
tax, and a levy is made, your dog sold
or killed, whether you would be a tax
defaulter, is an open question,
Receiver Lassiter’s digest shows
seventeen hundred and seventy-two
dogs in Cobb county. Marietta, of
course, leads the list with 272, followed
by Gritter with 115. Acworth the
second largest district in the county,
has 97. Vining shows 10, the smallest
number of any district. Red Rock,
the second smallest in size returns 38.
It is believed there are many dogs in
the county which have not been re
turned for taxation. Under the law,
if enforced, these will either have to
be paid for, or the animals killed.

The way to come out all to the good
on second thought is to think the sec
ond thought first.

" RULES FOR WIVES.
" To Which Is Added Some Feminine
‘ Advice to Husbands. ‘
Some presumptuous Frenchmen pub
lished a list of commandments for
wives, one of which ran: *Now and
then acknowledged gracefully that thy
husband knows more about some
things than thou. After all, thou art
not infallible.” A second and still more
daring rule for wives was, ‘“Never be
aggressive in thy arguments with thy
husband, but always consider him as
superior to thee.” This was too much
for French feminists, and no wonder.
One lady answers the presumptuous
man indignantly:
The weaker sex has not merely du
ties; it has also rights. Feminism is
advancing, and nothing will stop it
The weaker sex is the equal of the
sterner. Eguality forever! Here are
the commandments which women op
pose to those of men.
The lady then gives her rules for
husbands with more spirit than logic:
Woman has a right to have whims;
it is a privilege of her sex. Never put
her out. She might have hysterics,
which would impair her health and
cost the money in doctor’s bills.
Another commandment runs:
Remember, good man, that thy wife
is thy superior by her grace, her beau
ty and refinement. Therefore always |
worship at her feet. |
Where, then good lady. does “‘equal
ity forever” come in, if woman not only
has privilege because she is a woman,
but is decidedly superior to man?
Surefy, the strong minded suffragist
would spurn privileges of sex. In an- |
other rule the lady seems to show
some sly knowledge of her sisters. j
If, good man, thou desirest mountain
air ask thy wife to come to the sea
side; she will immediately propose a
holiday in Switzerland. J
“But thls is a very mild gibe at her ‘
own sBex compared with her final
thrust at the other in her last rule l
for busbands:
Man was created before woman as a '
preliminary sketch for the master
piece. Remember, then, O husband,
that thou art but a rough draft.
This ought to shut any husband up
finally.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
TRAVELERS’ TALES. l
Some That Were Discredited and Vin- ]
dicated Long Afterward. ‘
Travelers' tales have often been ac
cused of being mere flights of imagi- |
nation, and in the past stay at home !
people have sometimes erred in treat- |
ing travelers’ tales with scorn. There l
was, for instance, the description by |
James Bruce in 1770 of the barbarons I
Abyssinian custom of eating rag meat ;
cut from the living animal, which was g
ridiculed by everybody. Yet Bruce has ‘
even recently been proved right. When
Paul Du Chaillu explored equatorial Af- |
rica in 1861 and described the wonder
ful gorillas and also the nation of
dwarfs there he was discredited none
too politely by the British Royal Geo
graphical society. Yet subsequent ex- \
plorers amply vindicated his veracity.
In the matter of discredited travel- |
ers’ tales vindicated long afterward it
will never be possible to beat the
classic instance in Herodotus. He
tells how King Neco of Egypt com
missioned certain Phoenician mariners
to circumnavigate Africa if they could.
They did it, starting from the Red sea
and returning by the straits of Gibral
‘tar after very many months. And
they reported, says Herodotus, that in
rounding the southern end of Africa
‘they had the sun on their right hand.
“I, for my part.,” he says, “do not be
lHeve this, but perhaps others may.”
- In modern times that detail is pre
cisely what proves that the Phoeni
iclaus did achieve the wonderful voy
age. Such an “improbable” fact could
never have been invented in apn age
which was not familiar with the equa.
tor.—~Chicago News.
Two Cheerful Liars.
Two Americans were disputing as to
which bad experienced the greatest
cold in winter. Said one: *ln the part
of Iceland where I was last summer
the ground is frozen so hard all the
year round that when they want to
bury a man they just sharpen his feet
and drive him in with a pile hammer.”
The other replied: “Yes, I know
that place. Didn’'t stay there long—
found it not quite bracing enough for
me. TWent on to a small town farther
north. The hotel where 1 was stay
ing caught fire. My room was on the
top story. No fire escapes or ladders
in that primitive settlement. Stair
cases burnt away. Luckily, kept my
presence of mind. Emptied my bath
out of the window and slid down the
fcicle.”—Truth.
Funny Stories.
“Ha, ba! sald the jovial man as he
slapped an acquaintance on the back.
“I'm glad to see you. I have one of
the funniest stories on record, and you
are just in time.”
“I don't care for it,” was the candid
reply. *“You see, there is often a pa
thetic side even to humor. I have just
'been out with my architect, and he
showed me three of the funniest sto
ries I ever saw. If I hadn't been pay
ing for them I'd have Jaughed myself
silly.”

PERT PARAGRAPHS.
WHILE being happy is an attitude
of mind. being comfortable is
more apt to be an attitude of body.
When a put up job falls down there
Is apt to be a spill out.
Getting a place to work isn’t nearly
as necessary as getting a place to get
paid.
There is only one thing more curious
than a woman, and that is a man.

A kick in time saves a lot of trou
ble about having impossible stuft
worked off on you.
Sometimes making a fool of a man
is merely amusing, and at others it is
abusing.
The man who won't speak a good
word for another generally in the long
run gets what is coming to him.
The persons who can't see what they
are looking for are seldom looking for
the right thing.
The man who can’t find any one good |
enough to marry is wise to remain un
married.
A woman’s idea of having a good
time consists in spending time and
money on useless things.
Women necessarily have a sense of
humor, for without it they would be
unable to extricate men from the ab
surd position that they are constantly
getting into.
Self Protection.
“No, 1 haven't taken a bath in ten
years.”
“Don’t you believe in baths?”’ |
“OL, I don't suppose they do any
harm if taken in moderation, but 1
don’t dare take a chance. My wife is
so tender hearted that if a tramp were
to come along while I was in the tub |
she would give him my only suit of
clothes.” |
In Practice. :
The man who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day,
But chances ninety are to ten
That next time he will run again.
His Reason.
“He says his wife is a fine cook.”
“She isn’'t, though.”
“Isn’t she?"
“NO.”
“Then why does he brag about her
807"
“Just because he is too stingy to hire
a cook.” i
Believes In It,
“Do you believe in the power of sug
gestion?”
“Suggestion 7’
Yo
“Well, when a girl suggests that she
may be a sister to me 1 begin to sus
pect that she bhas been stringing me.”
His View.
“What is your idea of a good look
ing woman?”
“It all depends.”
“Depends?”’
“Yes. If 1 am hungry a good looking
woman is one that is cooking a good
dinner.”
Her Opinion.
‘Do you believe in woman’s rights?”’
“Woman's rights?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I think that when a woman
has to support ber husband he should
at least be called by her name.”
Quite Similar.
‘“Has Jones talked to you about his
automobile yet?”
“I should say so.”
*He has wheels in his head.”
“Well, at least tires in his neck.”
Liked Good Work,
“He is a dreadful liar.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Too bad, isn't it?”
“That’'s a fact. 1 prefer a good liar
myself.”
Its Size.
“Happiness is a big thing.”
“Yes, but sometimes it can be slip
ped through a diamond ring.”
