Of course you will have to pay part cash. If you have a bank account of your own your bank will look after} tt for you. You need not go to the Comptroller's office at all; but It Is better to go and attend to the ‘matter yourself. Meet the Comptroller and make his acquaintance. You ‘pay his salary and you should take a look at the man you employ. Personally Comptroller Metz is a nice, agreeable man, a good deal _ of a hustler and an expert chemist.

Although everybody pays taxes Indirectly, so few people know what « biz taxes they pay that the general public does not take that keen interest in the city’s financial affairs that it should. Extravagance goes unchecked. . Waste is tolerated. Bad service is common. The, reason for which is that the people of New York do not watch their public servants as they . scrutinize and study their private business affairs. New York City bonds ar¢ the safest kind of investment. ¢ecure as to both interest and principal so long as the people of New York are able to pay taxes, and taxes come before rent, food or clothine Accity bondis-a-first mortgage-on-alt the property of New-York— li is a lien on every house and lot.

School bonds are good.: They are for new schoolhouses. Bridge bond: are for new bridges, which are needed. The Esopus water bonds are bad They are a waste of the city’s money. Avoid them. Use the same judg- trent in buying bonds as in other personal investments. Pay your money caly for bonds whose purposes you approve. tey xe/GUrIS and Curves. - Epistles of Ananias.

The old chief's heart was touched and he set the captive ree. It has for centuries been’a custom among many savage tribes all over the world to permit a woman to intervene to save the life of a captive, the rescue implying willingness to marry him. That such was Pocahontas’s { | centive, and that she really considered the act as binding her to Smith as | his wife, {s rather probable, judging not only by native custom, but by events that followed. For on Smith’s return to Jamestown she visited him frequently. Learning that the colony was in danger of being wiped out by starvation she and her attendants regularly brought supplies of food, and thus a second time she saved America.

Jamestown alone represented the English-speaking race ir that part of the world. From it as a nucleus sprang much of the present United States.

On Smith's departure, too, the Indians dropped thelr friendly at- titude toward the English. Once more the colony was in peril. And once more (this time unconsciously) Pocahontas saved it. For Capt.

There she heard a false rumor is of Smith's death, cnd was heartbroken Treacherously Captured at the Udings. Caring Httle, seemingly, for what might befall her now, she con- sented to a plan for uniting the interests of English and Indians by a marriage be- tween herself and a colouist named Rolfe. She ulso embraced Christian- ity, taking ‘the baptismal name of “Lady Rebecca.” . She and Rolfe sailed to England in-1616. In court there the Mttle Vir- ginfa princess was kindly recelved, and was petted and made much of, She bore her new honors meekly, taking scant Interest in life until one day she came face to face with Smith.
