A Greeting.

How beautiful thou art, o love of minel
The sparkle of thine eye shines in the streams.
The fragrance of thy breath watts from the
pine.
The beauty of thy smile is In the beams
OF morning sunlight as it glints and CLEANS.
Thy vcsture is the vcrdnncy that thrills
In new life in the leaf, the spray, the blade,
And lies like emerald velvet on the hills
And on the boscage of the bushgrown glade,
Brilliant in sunlight, splendrous in the shade.
Once more l seek thee in thy bowers, my sweet.
A tired toiler from the city's mart,
Once more seek thee, by the brooklet fleet,
To still with touch of thine the fret and
smart
And slow the throbbing Of the fevcred heart,
And, lol / find thy welcome is ne free
Today as in the old time, long ago,
When, as Il child, wandered forth to thee.
THY smile is only deeper, and ! know
My own responsive love doth warmer glow.
oh, as of old, first love of mine, infuse
The vigor of thy youth in nerve and vein.
Cast out the sordid thought; the soul enthuse
With nobler instincts, and in art and brain
Breed high desires that bring no after pain.
Point with thy luminous finger to the sod
Where blossoms grow and toll not, neither
spin,
But rest their being beauteous In their God,
Content TO be far from the city's din,
In woodland depths, devoid of care or sin.
Outing.

Tho Gingerbread Horse.

There are people and places that fade from our
minds
And days that grow dim In the past;
There are loves that are born and wither and
die,
And nothing seems true to the last;
But back in the days of the long, long ago,
When the little back yard was our course,
Tho friend who was dearest and sweetest to us
Was the galloping gingerbread horse.
Can we ever forget him2 His arched neck and
tail,
His sugar glazed ears and foretop?
Don't we still feel the thrill of uttermost Joy
AS we carried him out OF the shop2
Then, breathlcss with happiness, longing to
start,
We sped to the bnck cellar door,
And there, In IL paradise, nibbled and munched
Till the gingerbread horse was no more.
Oh. my gingerbread horse, how the taste Of
thy heels
And the peppery sweet of thy name,
With thy black currant eyes and thy brown,
softened sides,
Come back from the dim past againl
How taste, as dream, every mouthful ate
OF thy luscious young self For, in truth,
There are times when / feel would give all
have
For gingerbread horse of my youth

The Growing of II Soul.

Hear ye this parable: A man
Did plant n garden. Vine and tree
Alike, in course of time, began
To put forth fair and pleasantly.
The rains of heaven, the persuading sun,
Came down alike on each and every one.
Yet some trees willful grew, and some
Strong vines grew gayly in the sun,
With gaudy leaves. that even come
To naught, and yet each Haunting ono
Did flourish on triumphantly and glow
Like sunset clouds in all their moving show.
But, 10! the harvest found them not.
The soul had perished from them. Mold
And muck and leaf lay there to rot,
And furnished nourishment untold
To patient tree and lowly creeping vine
That grew as grew the husbandman's design.
Hear, then, this lesson; hear and heed:
say that chaiT shall perish; say
Mans soul is, like unto n seed,
To grow into the Judgment day.
1t grows and grows ii he will have II grow;
1t perishes il lie must have it so.

Fourteen Questions.

Will some one of the present
ownership map men answer the
following questions: "
!. The county levy for county
funds was len mills. Have the
commissioners legal right to con-
tract to expend eleven mills out of
the same years taxesp
q, 1t being agreed with Parker
and Van Wrinkle that they are TO
receive eleven mills of the tax on
the property found not on the
original roll, will it be possible for
any taxpayer who is on the supple
mentary roll to pay part Of his
taxes in county warrants2
3. Ifa part of the taxes are paid
in warrants, will these warrants be
turned over to the sinking fund"
or will the sheriff or treasurer re-
place these warrants with cash from
the other taxesP
4. Has the sheriff the right to
levy and collect 4.3 mills state
tax, well knowing that it is not
intended TO pay the money thus
collected to the state2
s. If the county intends keeping
both state and county taxes, cannot
both of these be paid in county
warrauts'
6. Would it be fair and lawful
to take cash out of the county fund
and exchange for warrants paid in
to the sinking fund.-
7. If this were done would not
a warrant holder have q legitimate
action against the officer and his
bondsmen who did itP
s. Ifit is not done, and war
rants are accepted in payment of
taxes on supplementary roll, what
warrant of law have the officers of
the county to reissue these war
rants, or in other words, when a
warrant is once paid into the sheriff
as cash on taxes, is it not then dead
and stands only for concellationl
Q, Where property was assessed
by the assessor aud he failed to put
it on the roll, will the contractors
be allowed eleven mills of that tax
alsol
10. When resident of the
county was never visited or called
on by the assessor or deputy for his
assessment, will that property also
be compsllsd to Pay its percentage
II. The law says the assessor
shall begin TO assess on the Ist of
March, OF each year; the assessor is
now working on private contract;
will the county court allow him
81 per day as assessor alsol
IL, OF what use to the county
gre both the supplementary roll
and the present owner mapl
II If this contract is wholly
legitimate why was il not complet-
ed and made OF record before the
LEApER exposed it TO the mxs
payerSp
II. Does anyone In connection
IWith the deal believe OF presume
,l.h1, the county is going to escape
one or more vexatious law suits

lnt, and never take the money
out Of the bank. Had the bank
been assessed with the credit it
would have stopped much fictitious
Indebtedness. The law should be
re-enacted, with such judicious
changes in 1t as would best work to
all equitable use of it. 1t is abso-
lutely unjust to tax man on both
his property and indebtedness.
