decision in the case Of the National

plaintiff sued for foreclosure of a
mortgage. The property had been oc-

supervisors of Clinton county had lev
led the mulct tax against it. The
county was then made a party to the
suit. Judge iHouse decided that the
mortgage takes priority over the mulct
tax, and virtually says the mulct tax is
not tax. This makes formidable
loop hole to escape the tax, simply by
putting a mortgage on the property.

A grim Pennington, Conn, was much

feet across. Fortunately man near

help and the girl was lifted up without
any other injury than fright. The
hole is in the driveway only 50 feet
from the house of George Miles, the

used a century or more, and nobody
suspected that the ground was unsafe.
It is not known that there has ever

forests have been cleared away, after
the deep roots have decayed and have

is virtually part of the American
continent, and should be such polit-

which Cuba is a victim is an anomaly

pure and simple which is founded on

no pretense of ruling Cuba for the;

herself. It is time that this medieval

tice about 1t, for they have frequently
asked that OF the five school directors
one should be of the same sex as the
majority of the teachers. They have
succeeded and the result will be watch
ed with considerable interest. 1t is
claimed that fully SO per cent Of the
A. P. A. vote was made up of ladies,
but this is probably too high an esti-
mate, and 40 per cent is, no doubt, near
er the mark. They were indefatigable
campaigners and took care to see that
their husbands voted. If wife can do
no more than this she will confer BEN
eft upon the community, for it is evil
dent from the light vote that thousands
failed to cast ballot. OF the $500
