Chinese cattle queen of Arliona, Is in town. She arrived unostentatiously and has taken up her abode In the Chinese quarter. Aa yet she hua not shot out the lights of the dlstrlctJior hns she attempted to decorate Itlth carmine atreak after the custom of cattle queens of 5-cent fiction.

Cannon and Williams. John Sharp Williams found a tele graph message from Uncle Joe Cannon when he arrived In St. Louis. It read: "If they want to nominate you for vice president and you don't want It, wire me and 1 will send you my recipe. I got something that is a sure cure for such foolishness, Don't lot 'em kid youi" The speaker and the house minority leader are great cronies. . Both are great story tellers, and to find a good new story for the other causes the lucky man more pleasure than If he had won a pile of monev.

Every now and again people are re minded ln England of the existence of that queer, old-fashioned tax which requires people who keep male ser vants to pay a duty of $4 a year for each of them. Lord Huntly, who en- Joys the distinction of being the premier marquis of Scotland, has Just been convicted ln Huntingdonshire of keeping three male servants without the government license, granted on the payment of the statutory tax He was fined $100, besides costs, and was ordered to pay the duty at once, un der threats of being penalized for con tempt, If be did npt comply with the direction of the court There are many of these odd taxes ln England, many of them dating from old feudal times, and if one uses any sort of armorial bearings heMs re quired to pay a duty of 15 a year, wnne ir these heraldic devices are painted on the panels of one's ear rings or motor car It means at once an animal tax of 110 more.
