We We congratulate Smyrnianites who are quite elated over the financial suc cess derived from their water-works. According to their third annual report they state that they have cleared all expenses except $91.35. This certain ly is gratifying and stimulating to 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. poll tax is bad THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.

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 I LIU dor to 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 the fireplace of tho vol his kneo lid gently, "would you wow, but to ono bide and of G laben—act 1 ot so a it its wero pricked in tho most tfie (log a timt their noses touched; "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 powerless to reply. Resuming the former conditions the operator then con tinued: , had a mo "Do you retain tho remembrance of your former life, or are you oblivious to the past?" "You use very long words." "Is your condition altered? Do you remember anything that happened to 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 Pickle's master. It 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 (Haben ist ic influence w«i limit«! to à short period, no tiio dog evidently suf ered phvsically if the interview was pro longed 1 An intelligent and observant animal he encouraged her prying habits, having ; When Piehio had ÄÄ ïtÂT,i when she hod boon spending tiro day ^ad'oM^s; inSe"efdTd S ' ? !*' and she forfeited the dainty honorarium.

Look at vour coat!" 1, "No, I haven't been playing by 11.0 canal, nnd I don't know any low dogs." ; "Where have you been, then?" "Only next door." "Then, you wicked dog, why didn't ; you come into tho house before "Because—well, becauso I didn't wi tho police detectives to "What had you done, then?" "Don't bo cross nnd I'll tell you all know llttlo Tummy Bowles, who lived next door?" "Tho boy that comes after my apple tree?" about it. Y "Yes; and you said you'd cut his head off if you caught him again. Well, somebody has cut his head off, for his father found him lying just against the garden wall without it, and picked up, and and presently I heard them say they be lieved you'd done it, but the difficulty would bo to prove it." "But I never cutTommv Bowles' head off!" him I thought I'd listen; "Yes, you did." "What do you mean, dog? mad?" "You know over tho wall "Well?" "Well, Just Bowles Arc y< flung a broken plat© morning, didn't you?" you threw It, Tommy climbing up tho wall to get apple tree, and it caught his 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 rickle?" "No; but Tommy Bowles' father and a neighbor who'd dropped in said they'd V G Wd you threaten Jo ilpU over and aye? at the—ah—accident, -lie 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 Glabenlzo me, and mako mo talk; and 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 waited till it should 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?" "No fear.
