According to a law enacted by the state legislature, property is subject to rale for taxes after being delinquent for six months. An extract from said law reads as follows; "Any day after the expiration of six months, after the taxes charged against real property are delinquent, the tax collector shall have the right, and it shall be his duty, upon demand and payment of the taxes, pen alty and interest, to make out and issue a certificate or certifi cates of delinquency against such property." These certificates may draw interest at the rate of 15 per cent per annum. It is ad visable for all real property owners to see that their taxes are paid in full before they be come six months delinquent as they may be paid by and a certifi cate issued to any person who may wish to take them up. This would have the same effect as a lien or judgment against the property. Chas. Martin came up from Olex Tuesday. Miss Ida Scott of Portland is the guest of her sister, Mrs. John Jackson.

They seem to forget their surroundings for the time being, and when they emerge from their aba trac tion they are apt to obMrre that they 'hare Just been looking orer the booka' and ask for some Tolume that they are quite sure Is out of print Yea. air. the old bookstore Is a free library In a way, but It Is an Interesting business and fairly profitable." Philadelphia Record. Fake Remnants. A country storekeeper, a pair of long, bright shears In hand, calmly cat a roll of silk Into remnants. "Women." he explained to hla city cousin, "are remnant mad. There are women who never buy except at rem nant sales. Such women will pass by goods In the piece at a quarter a yard and snap up the same goods In rem nant lengths at 30 cents.

It Is larger than any territory that ever waa uuder any one free government It la too extensive to be governed but by a despotic mon archy." And this from the man who thirty years later waa elected president of the United StatM extended far be yond the Mississippi and who became the author of the "Monroe doctrlue." A year after the adoption of the con atltutloa James Madison thought he waa making a bold guess when he estimated that the population of the country might, "In some yearn." doa ble In number and reach S.CWO.000. He lived to see far beyond that Yet It la true that for a number of years the population waa largely confined to the original thirteen colonies. In 1789. when the constitution was adopted. New York city had 83.000 Inhabitants, la 1817 It had 115.000. Philadelphia 113.000, Baltimore W0OO, Boston 40, 000, Providence 10.000, Hartford 8.000, Pittsburg 7.000.

'A pauper and a violin maker. Gnarnerlus In the seventeenth ceutury made violins that everybody thought too thick; hence they brought only $2 apiece. Musicians would buy them and have them pared down. "Gnarnerlus Instated that they were not too thick. When he heard of one of bis Instruments being pared down be flew Into a frightful rage, lie bad a grouch agalnat the world because It wouldn't agree with him about violin making. He died a pauper because the world would bsre noue of bis violins. "A Gnsrnerlus Is now snd then to be picked up. Usually It Is a pared In strument and Its value la not very high. But Bod an unpared Guarnertua snd you can get anything you like for It It Is one of the world's few per fect violins. "But Gnarnerlus died a pauper.
