NOTES

The Rutland Herald has spoken on
the Governor question. 1t came out
Monday for Judge Royce.
Ex-Speaker Carlisle has been elect
ed United States Senator to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of Jas.
B. Beck.
1t is reported that Henry NJ. Stan
ley is to marry Miss Dorothy Tan
nant, a young English artist, and
the leader will thus be led
1t is not difficult to lead the most
happy Of lives. If every member of
the family will make it a study to
make the other members of the fami-
~ happy, that home will be as nearly
heaven as any place on earth can be.
Talk about silver dollars being
worth only seventy-fve cents. A
western physician paid $3.50 for one
the other day, and thought he had a
good bargain at that, $500 being its
listed value. 1t is one of the only
four coined in 1904; the other three
| are all accounted for in collections.
The public will be grieved at the
report that the condition of Gen F. E.
Spinner, who is in Florida suffering
from the effects of u facial cancer, is
rapidly growing worse. The vetran
eX-United States treasurer has val
iantly fought against the encOach-
ments of the disease, and all persons
will hope that the present serious
condition will no Ox-orooT,o
Why talk SO disparagingly of the
farm. Surely we ought to stand by
our calling for tits a noble one. Some
say taxes, tariff, high interest, etc,
eat us all up. Well, we admit that
taxes and interest are too high to ac-
cord with other things; as for the
tariff l do not know anything about
it, but | do know that if a man uses
his brains and his hands hecan make
farming pay.-COr New England far
Lner.
A funny story is going the rounds
of a young lady who found a horse
shoe, and wishing for good luck,
placed it under her pillow in company
with her false teeth. In the morning
in the hurry of dressing she substi-
tuted the shoe for the teeth and
wore it for some time before the mis-
take was discovered This story was
told to a young lady visiting Mead
vile, Pa, and with grateful astonish-
mentin her voice she exclaimed, "and
never washed the shOer She was
evidently more surprised over the
lack of cleanliness than the size of the
girls mouth.
We believe in protection while adj
hitting that it is tax; but wemain-
tain that within reasonable and mod
crate limits taxation is a benefit.
JudiciOus expenditures for roads and
bridges, for schools and libraries, for
churches, for developing business and
improving the home market, are an
advantage and We are richer for such
taxes. Any truth can be carried to
an absurd extreme and so can this;
excessive taxes, unequally distribute
ed, are as bad as those that are in
sufficient.-NeW England Farmer.
A rapidly growing village has two
things to contend with sooner or
later, which are sure, if neglected, to
become serious. The first is proper
sewerage. When the boom" of Min
neapOlis had progressed for Il time
and people were still using q good
deal of well water because it was
cheaper, and ofcOurse had no cOnnec-
ton between many of the houses and
the sewers, there were at one time
AGA s,spe S,f tV-y,ITiJ f,4xra7, anal iItC ono
day there were eleven funerals of fever
patients. The papers had given
warning, but many did not heed.
The other thing is a police force AIDE
quate to preserve the peace of the
streets so that ladies will not fear to
pass any of them at night Proven
ton of violence ought to be charac-
teristic of any public authority.
