There is a bill introduced at
Dover to tax almost every cap

the state. There could not be
a better scheme devised to
drive capital out of our State
than this bill now before the
legislature. It would eventu
ally result in placing a pre
mium on lying and a strong
temptation to the honest. The
question of taxing mortgages
is a broad one and requires se

in reality, would pay the tax.

We congratulate Smyrnianites who
are quite elated over the financial suc

According to their third annual report
they state that they have cleared all
expenses except $91.35. This certain

public enterprise.
We hope the present legislature will
devise some method of disposing of
the tramps which will not prove so
burdensome to the tax payer as was
last year. An expense of $4,
one county is certainly an imposition
upon the public. Why not put them
to work upon the public roads or
streets.
The "Every Evening" in
ably
written editorial upon the subject of
"Poll lax" says: "The levy court
should conduct business on business
principles." That
ly in error is undoubtedly a fact, and
should be promptly attended to by
our county officials. A man who can
not or docs not pay his poll tax,
should be allowed no voice or vote in
our elections. And, as our present
poll tax is a law the collecting of stich
taxes should be enforced by the law.

MY LITTLE DOG PICKLE.
Towards tho close of a dull November
day, in the year 180—, a young man was
standing, with his back to the fire, in a
small but well furnished apartment in
-street. Scattered about upon the
table were several open and evil looking
volumes, bearing, as their titles indicated,
upon witchcraft, spiritualism,
ism and various supernatural phenom
ena. Their appearance showed that they
wero frequently nnd deeply studied.
Seated on the hearth rug, close to tho
young man's feet, was a small black and
tan mongrel, very sharp about tho
rle, very bright about tho eyes, and very
tremulous about tho tail. E very now and
then she looked up into her master's face,
with that look of wistful wonder so com
mon to tho canine features, giving at tho
same time a little whimper, i
attract his attention.
"What is it, Pickle?" ho exclaimed at
last, rousing from his reverie, nud look
ing down at the dog; "whnt is it mv
girl?"
■1 • imer

in
"Bow,
:ow, wow!"
"That's a very general answer,
doggie."
At that moment so
my
peculiar idea
evidently flashed across his brain, for,
looking earnestly ot tho dog, ho ox
claimed:
"By Jove! l'vo a good mind to try
tho experiment. Let mo just read It
over again."
He walked quickly fr
to tho table, and opened
umes at a marked place. For a quarter
of an hour ho sat, and never raised his
©yes from tbo book; then, leaving it
open, bo pushed it a littlo way aside,
and called his dog. It was
in a second.
"Pickle," bo
like to talk?"
"Bow, wow,
"No, not to bow, w
talk—like I do?"
Tho dog put its head
looked at him earnestly, with that pain
ful endeavor to understand which every
ono who talks to a dog must often have
noticed.
"Let me seo whnt it says onco more,"
muttered her master, and ho turned to
tho book again, "ll'm! power of strong
will—condition produced by mesmerism
—experiment of V
brgin and tongue—transmitted capacity
and sympathetic action on muscles. Yes,
I'll do it, eomo what may."
With tlieso words ho lifted tho dog
from his kneo and placed it upon the
table in front of him, 60 that its face was
level with his; then he raised his finger
and exclaimed sharply:
"Pickle, look at mel"
Tho dog's eyes wero riveted on his in a
moment. Tho last rays of tho Novem
ber sun had long ago departed, and tho
room was filled with that visible dark
ness which gives a weird aspect to tho
commonest of objects. In this obscur
ity, relieved only by a fitful flaro from
from the dying embers in tho grate, the
pupils of the animal seemed to the young
man to dilate under his glanco and be
come balls of liquid fire. Never for a
moment allowing Iris steadfast gazo to
vary, ho lifted his hands quickly from
lfis side and mado tho usual passes, add
ing to them certain others evidently pre
scribed in tho recently studied article.
At the first few strokes tho dog tr
bled violently, and the bristles roso round
its neck Jiko a ruff. Then it suddenly
became rigid; the jaws dropped asunder,
and tho
painful tension.
"Picklo!" exclaimed tho young man,
bringing his face suddenly so c los e to

"Pickle, speak to met Say roaster!"
The open jaws closed with a sudden
snap; the lips twitched spasmodically;
the working of the throat showed that
tfie tongue was violently agitated.
"Pickle, if you love me? speak!"
The words were this time accompanied
by a powerfu 1 attack upon the animal's
brain and tongue. The same symptoms
followed the second appeal; and then,
from between the clenched teeth, there
came, harsh and grating, as though tear
ing its way up the dog's throat, the word
''master.''
Pronounced in an unearthly tone, the
word, half expected as it
mentary effect upon the operator's
nerves; but before tho current of his in
fluence over the dog had been destroyed
lie recovered himself and continued the
experiment.
''Do you know what 1 say to you?"
This time the answer fell easily and
softly from tho dog's lips. The unused
muscles of tho throat had, under the in
fluence of Von Glabenstein, got quickly
over tho first shock and fallen at once
into working order. "I understand all
you say to mo."
"Can you speak except under the in
fluence? I mean could you speak if I
withdraw my eyes from you—so?"
The young man turned away, and de
stroyed for a moment the rapport be
tween tho dog and himself. The animal

former conditions the operator then con

your former life, or are you oblivious to

"You use very long words."
"Is your condition altered? Do you

day?"
"I
still your little dog Picklo; and
please will you give mo that big bono
you sent away on your plate at dinner
time?"
"Yes; and every night, if you are
good, you shall have a big bono after
you havo been mesmerized. I want you
to go about into the people's gardens
and houses, and hear all you can, and
then in the evening you must tell mo all
about it."
"Yes; but let mo go now; 1 want to
scratch myself, and I can't move
leg."
Rapidly making tho liberating passes,
tho young man withdrew his eyes fr
tho dog, and instantly springing from
the table, it rolled over on the hearth
rug, and, heaving a deep sigh, went off
into a doze. It was ovident that tho ex
periment had prostrated tho dog, and
left it weak and lanfiuid. For the
ment even the bono was forgotten.
Not at first did tho full meaning of
tho feat ho had performed daw

upon
only by degrees,
as ho sat thinking before tho dying
bers, that the revelation came to him of
what ho might accomplish with a talk
ing dog. He nover for a moment enter
tained tho idea of making tho discovery
public. Rather should it bo to him a
source of secret enjoyment, height
ened by tho knowledge that tho
whole proceeding was in direct viola- j
tion of the laws of nature, and ns "un
canny" ns tho wild revels peculiar to a
witch's holiday.
For many a night after that Picklo and j
her master talked together for a quarter
of an hour in the evening. Tho doors
were always carefully locked before the
preliminaries commenced, and tho Von

neck and cut his head right off."
Tho young man sprang to his feet in
an instant. A cold perspiration burst
from every pore. Ho had taken human
life, nnd his victim lay headless next
door. Ho turned hurriedly to Pickle for
further information, but the dog had
left tho table, and was stretched quietly
tho hearth rug, gnawing a bone. The
concentration of her master's will had
been disturbed, tho conditions under
which tho phenomena were possible had
been destroyed. How must this awful
danger bo faced?
l or fully an hour he endeavored vainly
to bring himself into a fit state to control
tho animal's will. At last by a mighty
effort be succeeded.
•Tickle, go on; tell me all you heard."
The influence was evidently weak, for
Pickle, instead of answering, casta wist
ful glance at tho half guawed bone
tho hearth rug,
"You shan't have that bono again at
all, if you don't answer," cried the
master, angrily.
For a moment tho dog cocked hor head
on ono side, anti appeared to be thinking;
then she resumed her narrative, but in 0
hesitating, timorous manner, not usual
with her when talking.
"Did

"No; but Tommy Bowles' father and a

again. Then one of them said, T AL, If
that dog of his could speak, it would tell
us all about it, I warrant;' and then"——
"Go on, go on!"
"Hush! Perhaps somebody's listening."
"Whisper."
"Well, then the detective jumped up
and said, 'By Jovel it wouldn't bo the
first dog who'd hanged a man!' and then
said presently, 'If that dog saw it done
—and ten to one she did—I'll have it out
of her, see if I don't.* "
''What did he mean, Pickle?"
"Why, he's found out that you Von

he'll do the same if he catches me. When
I heard this, master, I sneaked out of
the room and ran for my life; and I
went, oh I such a long way round, and

made mo so late. I may finish that bone
now, mayn't I?"
Freeing the dog from control, the
young man flung liimself heavily into a
chair. His position was desperate. The
Mttlo harmless dog, gnawing away at its
bono as if nothing had happened, had
his life upon his tongue. Why, in the
hands of a man like tho detective—a
man who evidently knew tho secret he
fancied ho himself alone possessed—the
dog's evidence would hang him twenty
times over. He felt his collar tighten
around his neck as he thought of it. Who
would believe it was only an accident?
His throat to cut off Tommy Bowles'
head had been heard all over the neigh
borhood. He had flung the fatal plate;
the dog had seen him do it; the dog could
be made to speak, and tho detective
knew how to make it
Suddenly the thought struck him,
"Pickle is the only witness who could
prove the actual deed. How if I were to
—to—put her out of tho way?"
The worst! Great powers! Why, at
any moment tho myrmidons of the law
might be hammering at his door; ho
might bo in jail, and Picklo in tho power
of that confounded, meddling detective.
Not a second was to bo lost.
Late tlAt night a young man stole cau-
tiously down tho stops of tho house in
-street, and hailed a passing hack.
From beneath the folds of his ulster
peered the sharp muzzle of a little dog.
Three weeks later man and dog stood
upon the deck of the good ship Grampus,
bound forUjiji, with ice. lucifer matches
and gray shirtings.
"What is that island yonder?" asked
the man of tho first mate, who was lean
ing over tho bulwark near him.
The man shaded his eyes and looked.
''That? Oh, that's a desert island.
Wo're out of our course, through tho
fogs, a good hit, or wo shouldn't bo near
it."
"Don't ships go nearer than this to it?"

Still all cotton.
At 25 and 30c we touch the

In Book News you get the
very juice and essence of the
month's new Books.
You get it in a quick sen
tence or two ol what good
judges think of the new Books.
The editor doesn't take hap
hazard criticisms and dish
them up for you. The choice
is from all the critics' opin
ions ; a critic's pick of criticism.
That's one side ol Book
News. There's another just
as valuable, more so from a
money stand. Whoever wants
to know the least the Books
themselves can properly be
sold for has but to turn to the
critical price-list.
It is made in so one's inter
est but yours—a trifle above
the lowest wholesale cost.
Book Nsws for A pril has a
portrait of Amelia E. Barr, the
novelist, and five illustrations
from current books.
