not see clearly, for my eyes were
blinded and my brain was confused;
but l knew Roberts had gone over to
the window, unable to gaze on the
child he had loved.
His grief touched me, but l had no
part in it. My brain seemed to be
bursting with the thought that my lit
tie Robin was dead. Seeing him there,
1 could not believe he was really dead;
but thanked heaven for having pre-
served his beauty for his mothers eyes.
He lay as if in slumber, his little hands
closed, smile on his lips. The wind
came in the open window and stirred
the curls on his forehead, and it seemed
to be his own breath that caused the
lace on his pinafore to flutter.
l stopped to kiss him, and, dazed as
was,I remembered how l had stopped

JERUSALEM The British consul at
Jerusalem gives some interesting de-
tails respecting the present condition
of the holy city. 1t appears that build
ings of various kinds continue to be
erected in the vicinity, and that the
city is far outgrowing its former limits.
On the western side houses have been
increased so rapidly during the last
few years that quite large suburb has
arisen where formerly there were
fields and vineyards. Every available
piece Of land is now being bought up
by private persons or by benevolent
societies and missions, and already the
name of "Modern Jerusalem" has been
given to this new quarter. Last year
the first public garden was completed
outside of Jaffa gate, and the trade is
generally increasing, especially that in
Jaffa oranges, olive wood work and
olive oil.

She Was LOG Years Old and a Della.
Warean.

The Times Recorder, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, says:
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Williams, of
Newton township, who celebrated her
106th birthday the 9th day of last Feb
ruary, passed peacefully away at her
home on Saturday morning. The
Times Recorder was the first paper to
bring the old lady's longevity before
the public by publishing her picture
and sketch Of her life in connection
with the celebration of her l05th birth
day.
She was born in Sussex county,
Delaware, February 8, 1883, and when
about 10 years of age removed with
her parents to Newton township,
where she spent the balance of her
life.
"She was married at the age of 16 to
John Williams, the son of neighbOr-
ing settler, and thirteen children were
born to them, the eldest, James Will
liams of White Cottage, being so years
| old. Mrs. Williams husband died
nearly thirty years ago.
Mrs. Williams had not been off of
her farm for fOrty-seven years prior to
her death, and she never saw q locomO-
tive or any of the inventions of the last
half century. She was remarkably ac-
tive until about a month ago, when
she began to fail and died on Saturday
of old age She had been a member OF
the NJ. E. Church for over ninety
| years.

The Archbishop Speaks Strongly

At the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America, at St. Paul, Father
Fatrlck O'Brien of Fremont, Ohio,

and cheered the sentiment proposed, so
it is foregOne conclusion that ring
ing endorsement of Satoli's position
will be given before the Convention is

know of land where the streets are paved
With the things which we meant to achieve,
It is walled with the money we meant to have
saved,
And the pleasures for which we grieve;
The kind words unspoken, the promises broken
And many a coveted boom
Are slowed away there in that land somewhere
The land of "Pretty Soon."
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust
And o this place. while it seems so near,
Is farther away than the moon,
Though our purpose is fair yet we never get
there
The land of pretty SOon."
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for It's shining
strand
Bear skeletons on their decks;
1t is farther at noon than 1t was at dawn,
And farther ut night than at noon:
o, let us beware of that land down there
The land of Pretty SOon."

The Dainty Cotton Gown.

The times are hard. and Dorothy,
A thrifty little maid,
1t quite content these days to be
In cotton gowns arrayed.
In ginghams fine and soft as silk,
In sheen of twills and checks,
In lustrOus muslins white as milk,
Her charms our eyes perplex.
She wears a dress of spotless duck,
Most stiff and stately then;
Again with crisping frill and tuck
Her grace bewilders men,
In sheerest OTgRndy she shines,
A lily sweet and fair,
Or, petals ruftiing to the mines,
A rose beyond compare.

Our Ohio tax laws, like the decisions
Of our Ohio supreme court above re-
ferred to, have been a growth. At first
the needs of the state were few, and
real property was in sight and it was
made to bear the larger part of the ex-
pense of government, and this tax was
SO light that it was not burdensome.
Then came the desire for schools and
roads and public buildings, which
would enhance the value of property
and add comforts and necessities, and
real property willingly assumed the
added burdens; these public improve
ments also increased the value and
amount of personal property. This
new kind of property at first bore its
fair share of the public burdens, until
about thirty years ago. If you will
compare the grand duplicate Of Ohio,
for all the years up to the
close of the civil war, you will notice
that real and personal property was
substantially the same in all the coun-
ties OF the state, and in the aggregate
of the whole state. One increased side
by side with the other, during all these
years, and so uniformly was this tho
result here and elsewhere, that politi-
cal economists assert it as law, that
tangible and intangible property are
always practically the same in amount
in any given time and place. About
the close of the war, this equality
ceases, and while real property has in
creased right along since, intangible
property has practically made no in
crease, and in many cases has become
less according to the tax duplicate.
Why did this equality cease about
this time? Many of you recall the ex-
travagant public expenditure of the
years about the close of the war,
the creation Of new offices to reward
favorites and SO on, which necessitated
q higher rate, and then intangible
began to hide, because it !
could, and this again increased the rate,
because again a given amount Of
money had to be raised and less
amount of property was compelled to
raise it. AS the rate increase, the more |
property was hidden, and so it has
gone on until farmers and real estate |
owners in cities and villages, and ma
tional banks pay almost all the taxes
paid in the state of Ohio. There is, !,
however, great difference in the |
ability of these classes to pay tax. The !
landlords can, ordinarily add tax to the |
rents on his property and the banks
can add their tax to the rate of inter-
est demanded, but the farmer can not
add his tax to the price of his wheat, |
Dr. cattle, or horses, or WOOL The prices

London Echo from Vermont Hills

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling has built .
house on hill in Brattleborough.
But, although there are great ad-
vantages in living near the clouds,
it is expensive to get water on a
high rock bound hill. Mr.. Kipling
employed experts to drive q well. 1t
went down through the rock at q
cost Of several dollars a foot, it con-
tinued to go down for several hum
dred feet, and still no water was
struck until it reached q depth of
three hundred and fifty feet, which
is said to represent cost of several
thousand dollars. The whole coun-
try roared. 1t was great joke to
see the hard earned dollars of the
novelist disappearing in hole in
the ground. But, strange to say,
Mr., Kipling seemed to thrive along
with his driven we'll; the deeper it
went, or the sleeper became the hill,
the more his laugh rang out over the
hills of his estate. And now 1t is
known that it is the public that is
ultimately paying for that well, and
that is why the novelist laughs
