The tale emanated from the city treasurer's office, and here It is: One of the loudest complainants met Mr. Bover, waved his receipt, and after expressing himself as to the foolishness of the law that required Its payment, remarked bitterly: "Why I bet a dollar you haven't paid yours, and you're president of the school board." "You're on," promptly replied the president and the money was placed In a holder's hand. "Now then," said Mr. Boyer as he produced a receipt," does this signify that my tax is paid " "It does," replied the better, "my dollar is yours." "Now, then." grinned Mr. Boyer. "you can go out and publish the fact to the whole world that President Boyer did XOT pay his school tax." "Wha*-at! Why, who did?" "Tou," coolly replied Mr. Boyer as he pocketed the dollar he'd won.

G. Wickersham, who lives at Front and Division streets, not only has a telephone, but also a very nice, high-powered, speedy mo tor car. William W. Gantz, a mer cantile reporter of Pittsburgh, and pretty Miss Emma Viola Kiilian. whose home is in Reading, got that tip about 11 o'clock last evening. They decided that they could hit upon no better day for their wedding than Memorial Day. Furthermore, they feared that because it is a holiday they, would have been unable to procure a license. So: They Just called up the recorder, told him ail about it, and asked him if he could come down in his car and grant a license. The recorder glanced at the clock, sighed, climbed out of his pajamas, put on his motor cap, got out the car and came to the marriage bureau and issued the license. Then, just to keep his hand in, this morning he called again at the office in time to receive woeful Samuel Thomas Keys and Grace Elton Masen heimer. who were wondering discon solately why they hadn't remembered that to-day was a holiday. So Re corder Wickersham gave them a license, too. W. C. T. 1.

RAN RULE " IN EFFECTTIIM Requires All Travelers to Place Value on Contents of Trunks; Need More Employes If you carry trunks when you go traveling after to-day you will be asked by the railroads to place a value on the baggage, and. If you give a figure of more than SIOO you will be required to pay 10 cents for each ad ditional SIOO valuation for insurance. I This is not a new rule of the rail roads to annoy the traveling public, but is done because the Cummins amendment to the Inter-state Com merce law requires It. Under the old law the railroads were free to make their own rules. Practically all roads had tire same regulations. They car ried free any trunk up to 100 pounds in weight, in consideration of the pur chase of the ticket and they assumed a liability up to SIOO. Thus, if a trav eler's trunk was lost or destroyed In transit, he could recover the value of the trunk up to SIOO, but no more. Slay Xced Extra Baggage Men The new law requires that railroads must assume liability for the full value of a trunk and that the value must be stated at the time the trunk Is j checked. The railroads claim that ,they cannot assume full value with- Jout charge, because people might j overstate the value. So they have de cided upon the extra charge Insurance rate of 10 cents per SIOO. All the railroads are now working on a scheme to make this plan prac ticable. It means In the first place more toil for that much-overworked individual, the baggagemaster. In stead of giving a metal check, here after he must give a paper or card board receipt, and he must write on it the valuation of the trunk and its contents, at the same time handling the money for insurance and keeping a record. Both the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads are now working on a plan to expedite this new phase of rail roading. Probably it will be necessary to have extra baggage men to handle the increased amount of work, and certainly the railroad will need extra clerks to keep the records of the Insur ance phase of the business. The amendment to the law refers to shippers, but the Inter-state Com merce Commission has decided that the traveler who checks a trunk Is a shipper.
