Taxes

(The following doggerel was very popular in 1897, when the famous panic of "93" was just concluding.)

We are taxed for our clothing, our mreat, and our bread, Our carlrts and dishes, our tables and bed, Our tea and our coffee, our fuel and lights, And we're taxed so severely we can't sleep o' nights.

We have stamps on our mortgages, checks, notes, and bills, Our deeds, on our contracts, and on our last wills, And the star-spangled banner in mourning doth wave O'er the wealth of the nation turned into the grave.

We are taxed on our omces, stores, and our shops, Our stoves, on our barrels, our brooms and our ffiops, Our horses and cattle, and if we should die We are taxed on the coffins in which we must lie.

We are taxed on all goods by kind Providence given, We are taxed for the Bible that points us to heaven, And when we ascend to the heavenly goal, You would if you coul{, stick a stamp on our soul.

Dog Stories

Once there was a man who was chased by a dog. He ran, and ran, and ran, and so did the dog. Finally, too tired to run farther, he stopped. To his surprise, the dog stopped also. They looked at each other for a moment, a great light gradually dawning in the man's head. He took a step toward the dog. The dog retreated. Another step. Another retreat. And then,, after a brief resg that man took after that dog and chased hirn all the way back to where they started from, the dog covering the whole distance with his tail between his legs. Depressions and men are a good deal like that dog and that man. It's time now for us to start chasing the dog.

Washington To Firanklin

If to be venerated for benevolence, to be admired for talents, to be estee.rrred for patriotism, to be loved for philanthropy, can gratify the human mind, you nurst have the pleasing consolation to know that you have not lived in vain. (Frorn a letter to Benjamin Franklin from George Washington.)
