Farmers say there is no money in
their business. The Ohio Patriot
finds that one reason the farmers
see hard times is because taxes are
SO high. The monied men of the
country do not pay their share of
taxes. They cover up their mon
eys and credits and refuse to swear
when the assessor comes around.
The honest farmers pay the great
bulk cf the taxes. Their farms can
not be hid from the land appraiser.
Equal taxation is a fundamental
principle of our system of govern
ment and more attention ought to
be paid to making it equal.

therefore, urgent need for a reform
OF. these abuses admitted to exist,
and a general re-adjustment of sal
aries upon a fair and reasonable
basis.
Offices should be open to any
citizens qualified to hold them,
whether they may be rich or poor.
Any system that makes a nomina-
ton OF election to Office depend up
on the amount Of money expended,
or which makes it impossible for
any butmen of wealthto eelectedto
office, is wrong and needs. to be re-
formed. That such state of affairs.
now exists in both political parties
to agreater or less degree everybody
knows who knows anything about
politics. 1t is time to begin thevery
necessary work of reform and make
an endof Doodle politics altogether.
When possession of the offices gets
into the hands of airing that passes
them around from one member of
the ring to another, but never per-
mits them to go outside, there is
urgent need of smashing the ring.
The truth should bemade manifest
that the offices belong to the peo-
pie and not to a combination of
politicians.

Charles Ia Daughter.

In the year 1919 King Charles l was be-
headed by his subjects, and Oliver Cromwell
became what was called protector. This was
a revolution in government.
Charles had not been a popular king. But,
however much his subjects disliked him,
there was one WHO mourned for him and
would not be comforted. That was the sweet
little Princess Elizabeth, his daughter. A
year and a half after his death two Of his
children, Elizabeth and Henry, were sent by
Cromwell to be kept prisoners in the Isle Of
Wight. Here was a royal castle called
Carlsbrook. 1t was an old, old castle. Part
Of it dated back even to the time when the
Romans had possession Of England. King
Charles himself had been imprisoned in this
castle before his execution. At first he was
allowed to drive out and to hunt. Then his
captivity became stricter and he was shut
into the castle, and at last into one room
with a barred window.

The rooms in which Elizabeth and Henry
we're kept looked directly upon that part Of
the castle in which their royal father had
been a prisoner. The very bars to the win
dow had been cruelty left there, where the
children saw them every day.
Princess Elizabeth was a beautiful girl, Is
years old. A writer calls her a sweet and
gracious little flower, culled "from the rank,
blood-soaked garden of English royalty's his
tory" She was as good and gentle as she
was beautiful She was a pious child, and
read her Bible much.
From the day she was brought to Carls-
brook she faded out of life. She sat quietly
and looked across at the barred windows Of
her fathers prison. She brooded all day
long over his tragic fate. No illness seized
her, but she just pinned and grew weaker, day
by day, looking at the barred window.
Once, from that window, the king came
very near escaping. One Of the bars
was forced out of its place from
the outside. A carriage waited. Four gal
looping horses would quickly have conveyed
King Charles to the coast, where a ship
waited to take him to freedom and safety.
But he was too large to squeeze through the
place where the bar had been forced out, and
the rescue had to be given up. A printed
card in the barred window of Carlsbrook
castle shows the traveller to this day where
the king tried to escape.
If the attempt had succeeded he would
probably have got his throne back, and his
gentle little daughter would have been a
great princess, perhaps a queen. But it was
NOT IN ka ChnNIas Il Let htr baa1 hy Aba ~
cutioner's ak, and his children were brought
captives to the same castle in which he had
been confined.
The poor little princess only read her Bible
and gazed out at the barred window day
after day. A month after she had been
brought to Carlsbrook her attendants en-.
tered her room and found her lying dead
upon her bed. Her pale cheek lay upon an
open book. It was her Bible, and it was
open at this sweet text:
"Come unto Me all ye that are weary"
There is nothing in all the great history Of
England more touching than this story.
They carried the body of the pretty little
princess to an old Norman church, two
miles away, at Newport, and buried it be-
meath the building in the fashion of those
times.
Nearly 200 yefrs afterward, when Queen
Victoria came 20 the throne which King
Charles had occupied, she caused a beautiful
tomb to be built to the memory of the girl
princess. 1t represents her sculptured in
white marble lying upon a marble couch,
her cheek resting upon her Bible, as you see.
Some Of you will go to Europe and to Eng
land when you are older. Be sure to visit
the Isle of Wight, AMI the old Castle Carls-
brook, and the tomb of the princess who died
reading the beautiful words, "Come unto Me
all we that are weary"

THE CARE OF HORSES.

A Veterinary Surgeon Gives some sug-
gestiOns That Are Of Great Value.
A leading veterinary surgeon, in on
versation with a reporter, said: want
Of ordinary care often ruins some Of the
best horses. Even those people employed
to take charge Of the animals often me
glect some of the simplest things. Every
horse should be reshod at least once q
month. After each days work the ami
mails feet should be carefully examined,
to ascertain that the shoes are in good
order, and gravel or stones removed.
Twice each week the feet should be are
fully looked at, broken nails replaced,
loose shoes fastened, and projecting
clinches reduced. Once q week the feet
should be stuffed with flax-seed meal on
wet clay. ANY unhealthy condition Of
the hoof ought to be Immediately at
tended to. Horses require careful groom
ing, and should be rubbed dry when
used; not allowed to stand without rub
bing when heated. Occasionally spong-
ing of the nostrils with a weak mixture
Of vinegar and water is beneficial. The
practice Of using a hose or stream of cold
water on a horse when heated is very in
furious.
Care should be exercised to see that the
feed is kept free from dust, foreign sub
stances and bad odor. Small quantities
fed frequently are best for the animals.
Bran mash should be give once a week,
never oftener than twice, except when it
is desirable as a purge. Glauber salts
given c a week will help to keep the
horse healthy. Watering a horse while
warm or Immediately after eating is bad;
but before eating is not Objectionable, OF
while at work. Stables should be kept
clean, well ventilated and free from
smells. The feed-boxes should be
s%crupulously clean, and washed once 3
week with vinegar and water. Those
animals affected with CHAMBERS or dis
charge from the nostrils should be $50
lated and kept tied. Man and beast are
both in danger Of infection therefrom.
In places and vicinity where IN infected
animal is thus tied the wood and iron
work should be cleansed with hot water
and soap and covered with a wash Of
freshly-mixed quick-lime, which should
be scraped off and removed within two
days. All harness. horse-cloths, saddle
cloths and blankets used by a glandere6
horse should be destroyed.
"Corns on horses feet are bruises Of
the sensitive sole, and mostly occur in
the fore feet. These should be carefully
attended to, and if treated in time viii
soon disappear; otherwise the horse may
be permanently famed, Trotting onra
hard road will often produce corns. and,
like human beings, they arise many
times from bad shoes. Attention to these
simple things will often save valuable
horses from being ruined. New York

house; several hundred special police.
men have been appointed; safety Or
ganiz atoms have been made all over the
city. At the mayors request four regi-
ments of militia have been ordered here
by the governor. The explanation for
all this preparation is made today
for the first time. 1t is that the police
commissioners have discovered that
the Socialists, to the number of six
hundred, are organized and armed with
effective rifles; that they control here
the manufacture Of dynamite; that the
n used in Chicago was made here,
and they have now on hand for use a
supply Of these Internal machines.
The commissioners claim that they
have found the name of the manufac-
turer, VIM. Haines, of Covington, Ky.
This, in connection with the rumor
that Herr Most was in Covington last
night, gives some FEASIBILITY to the
fears of the authorities and accounts
for the apparently unusual precautions
taken. The troops ordered here have
not yet arrived. They will probably

In recent electric lighting experiments
it has been attempted to give each lamp
its own battery. Perfect success is re-
ported, and portability has been gained
by the use of a battery Of great power

pocket of chloride of silver and two
plates of zinc, which are placed in the
cell with a weak solution of caustic pot
ash, forming what's known as the Skriv-
anoff primary battery. After a time the
