where There Are No Taxes.

LIQUIDS island, on the coast of Maine,
near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln
county town of Bristol, is one of the very
few places on earth where there are no
taxes. This island, otherwise known as
AIuscongus, was overlooked when Maine
became state and was put into no town
or county. The island was first settled
by John Loud, deserter from a British
man-of-war, and his great-grandchildr
are now prominent inhabitants. By vol

the parents paying 81 for each child. The
school term averages eight months in

THEIR VIEW OF 1T.

The Davenport Democrat has quite
thoroughly disposed of the Rock Island
arsenal issue in the senatorial contest
by showing that $50 employees petitioned
the war department to retain the COM
rnandant whose dismissal was favored
by Mr.. Cummins.
The raising of this issue has done the
Des Moines candidate no good, but. on
the contrary, has created an unpleasant
impression concerning him. He was not
public officer. Why. then, should he
have concerned himself with contro-
versy in a federal establishment far re-
moved from his home and which the
war department was entirely capable OF
Investigating intelligently?
The effort to put him forward as the
particular champion of TABOR in this
matter has excited more distrust thar
admiration, and seems to have made
him no friends in those localities Of
Iowa nearest the scene Of the trouble
Senator Gear has been styled a politi-
clan by. the followers of MIR. Cummlns
and In this instance the word has beer
used to designate one whose course Is
shaped with regard to its effect on his
popularity with the masses. but II
this case he seems to have asserted 6
degree of Independence, dignity ant
self-respect which his rival might vel
have emulated.
1t is quite possible that the people o.
Iowa would have thought more of Mr.
Cummins If he had kept out of thu
arsenal controversy altogether. He hat

TIGHT MONEY AHEAD.


In his last weeks circular Henry
Clews observes: Money is rapidly go
ing into the treasury, SO that with trade
and crop demands to be supplied any
unusual drain on the banks would have
to be met by liquidation. This would
effectually retard any upward market
in stocks. Until there are indications OF
q. return of funds. from the interior to
New York we shall continue to advise
conservative operations in stocks. es-
pecially as all the good dividend payers
are now pretty high.
This means that there is probability
of tight, money market for few
weeks, and high interest rates. Abso-
lutely the only excuse for such a prob
ability under present prosperous con-
ditions is found in the unsatisfactory
and unscientific currency system of this
country Financiers expect some
..tightness" simply because, while there
is bound to be big demand for money
at once, there is scarcely s12,00o,00o OF
bank reserves in New York in excess of
the figures demanded by safety. and the
call for money, IL acceded to. would
quickly use this up. In the face of this
situation there is piled up in the ma
ticnal treasury over s2sO,00o, 900 of idle
money, half of which, If released, would
Danish all fears of even temporary
tight money market. AS more money

4 FAMILIAR STORY.
lBayard Advocate.l

Nearly all Of our readers are ac-.
'quainted with John Duffy, a jolly
Irishman living northeast OF town. No
one appreciates good joke more than
Mr.. Duffy, even IL the joke is on him,
but 1t takes good one to get joke
on Mr.. Duffy without having it hurled
back at him with interest. Last week,
however, a little incident occurred in
Mr.. Duffy's hay field in which John
rather got the worst of the argument.
He was pitching hay and accidentally
stirred up a nest of bees with his fork.
The bees were of large species with
yellow stripes around their black bodies
and as is usually the case, decided to
resent the sudden disturbance to their
quiet home. Vowing vengeance they
swarmed about their antagonist in
great numbers. Mr.. Duffy took off his
hat which he began using as weapon
OF defense. Now the hair of Mr.. Duffy
head is very conspicuous by it's alb
sence and the rays of the summers
sun reflected therefrom with dazzling
brightness drew the attack of the bees
! to that quarter. The bees concentrated
their forces, executed flank move
ment and made a desperate attack up
lon the exposed top of Mr.. Duffy's head.
This was too much and Duffy retreated
with the bees in hot pursuit. He made
for hay stack and thrust his head
| and shoulders under shelter While
Mr.. DUFFY was struggling to pentrate
| the center of the stack the bees kept
up the battle with determination upon
1.-THE exposed body urging him on with
occasional stings from the rear toas
exertions. None of the Duffy family
made any remarks when for few
meals thereafter John would come In
and quietly take his place at the pan
/ try shelf, where he would partake Of
his victuals in a standing position.

STRENGTHENING the DOMINION,

The British Government to Increase
the FIGHTING Force At vIctoria.
Victoria, B. c.. Aug. THE i'm
perial government and the dominion
authorities have decided to increase
both the regular military and militia
forces on this station, the Pacific coast
depot Of the British army and navy.
Coming at time when the relations
between Canada and the United States
are acknowledged by Premier Laurier
to be rather strained over the Alaskan
boundary question, 1t looks as II Britain
and Canada were determined to assert
their claim to those portions of Alaska
demanded by Canada by force of arms
If necessary.
Some of the additional garrison has
already left England, and others will
come out in big squads within the next
few months. The cost of the new
military post, half of which Is to be
borne by the dominion government and
half by the British authorities, will be
about $125,000. It Is also said the
naval tarces will be inorsasaA
