volity, and Ellie, in her turn, wondered
what good Gratzia's musty old books did
herself or anyone else
Cynthia told no one about her plans, for
she was shy fairy and did not like to be
laughed at but in her faithful little heart
burned a spark of pure unselfsh love, that
made her want to share her own joys with
those who were joyless, and this prevented
her being happy until she had done So
So she determined that whatever the dan
gers of the roads, she would travel to the
great city, many, many miles away, ana
invite all the poor and friendless to come
and spend Christmas with the fairies and
dance at the fete.
The road to the city was cold and cheer
less and Cynthia, who used her own bright
wings, was weary and cold long before
the misty gray. steeples came in sight.
Many homes were brighter that day and
many hearts were glad because of the one
little fairy who had journeyed so far to
bring them the queens message.
None refused and hundreds of ragged
children went to bed that night happier
than they had ever been in their lives; and

she made home happy!" These few words I read
Within n churchyard written on a stone;
No name, no date, the simple words alone
Told me the story OF the unknown dead.
A marble column lifted high It's head
Close by, inscribed to one the world has known;
But, ah! that lonely grave, with moss O 'ergrown
Thrilled me far than his who armies led
''She made home happy Through the long, sad
years
The mother toiled, and never stopped to rest
Unti they crossed her hands upon her breast,
And closed her eyes, no longer dim with tears.
The simple record that she left behind :
Was grauder than the soldiers TO my mind

That was what worried Princess Golden.
She was about to give it up and refer the
matter to the queen, when a pretty elf,
dressed IN all the cclors of the rainbow,
dropped gracefully on one knee and pre-

Gratzia preferred 10 walk and she took
IN ancient book with her, which she often
read by the wayside as she paused to rest
beneath some shady tree. All the philoso-
piers and learned professors told her that
they would come IL they could possibly

Facts About State TaKns.

Some weeks ago the Milwaukee organ
of the Democracy published the official
order of the state tax commissioners. re-
lating to the state tax, to be levied this
year, with fulsome eulogies and extrava-
CANT laudatiOns of the present admins
tration for economy, etc.
The official document, with it's accom-
panying screed, is now being circulated
over the state as campaign document,
in packages of three. four or more,
stamped in red ink, Kindly hand these
to your neighbors."
Faith in public Office ''Three
quarters Of a million dollars for the tax
payers Of Wisconsin this year in reduc
ton of taxes in big head lines, opens
the wonderful revelation that follows.
What are the facts!
The state tax in 1890, Republican year,
was $S91 $50.
For the three following years of Demo-
cratic times the state taxes have aggre
gated $3.326,326.l5, or an average Of
,I,DOS. 1908 per year, or Sill, 115.3S
mere per year than under the last year
of Republican rule.
Estimates made by politicians Just be-
fore election are very unreliable, and
little dependence can be placed upon
them as regards their accuracy. The tax
commissioners report that there is in the
state treasury belonging to the general
fund the sum Of $742.57O. OF this amount
$464 4,O13.43 was derived from extraordi-
nary sources, from whence no revenue
to the state has heretofore been derived
and but little will be received hereafter,
viz: the interest from banks of deposit
The taxpayers of the state will not be
deceived by the plausible insinuations or
bOmbnstic exaggerations of the Miwau-
kee organ, nor will they soon forget the
damnins history of the attempted roster
robbery.
Under the several Republican admin
istratiOns there was no stealing nor job

unimpeached and unquestioned.

RAILROAD CHANGES.

Numerous appointments in the different departments of the Southern railway have been made and were effective yesterday morning. The circulars making these an- nouncements have created considerable stir among doubtful employees, and while there are possibly number of sorrowful employees there are still moro who are joy ful. For quite long time there has been a feeling of unsafety among many em- ployes of the old systems that have been Jumped into the great Southern Railway company, who looked, as the day ap- preached, for reappointment with no little anxiety. Locally not an employe in any department of the old East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia had been displaced in the change of that system into the Southern yesterday morning.
 MT. Henry Wyly, formerly soliciting freight agent of the East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia, has been appointed to the same position with the western divi- solicit as heretofore.
 The largest displacement that took place in the change was in Knoxville, where the claim agents office of the old East Ten. nessee, Virginia and Georgia was abol- ished and thirty-two office men and two female stenographers thrown out of em- ployment. This was rather a surprise to the employees of that department, as the axe was not expected to get in it's work there at so early date.
 MT. c. H. Beuscoter, assistant general passenger agent in charge of the western division, will have Headquarters in Knox vile.
 HOME AGAIN.
 MT. Henry Wyly, soliciting freight agent of the Southern, with headquarters in this city, returned yesterday from Knoxville, where he has been for the past two weeks on visit. He looks benefited from his rest, and began the day with the Southern.
