Why, certainly they're taxable. They come in under the head of 'poll-tax. Three dollars apiece. I'll go right down there. Glad you mentioned it." Then I paid him, and he left with Butterwick's twins on his memorandum-book. A day or two afterward Mr. Slingsby called to see me, and he said, "I've got a case that bothers me like thunder. You know Hough the tobacconist?
The Saracens when dismounted or wounded still fought on foot, their object being always to stab or hough the horses, and so dismount the riders.
