Maud Mailer In Kansas.
Maud Muller once on summer day
Went out on the prairie to rake the hay.
Her father was shy of hired man, so
Miss Maud, though she kicked, was
obleeged to go.
She raked for q while, then began to think
And her thoughts were so hard you could
hear them chink!
For manual labor gave her pain,
And she longed to skip from that Kansas
She oft had read of The Busy Bee
OF Colorado, where women are free.
She'd read how her sex was allowed to
vote
And in lodges to ride the mystic goat.
Could run for office WIENER they chose.
Wear semi-trousers and crushed pink
hose!
And the way that grinders cut the gum
Would start!e an angel from Kingdom
She almost determined to give the shake
TO the ranch-girl's burden, the old hay
rake,
And flee to the suffrage paradise
Where the matter of sex never cuts no
ice.
A wild bee hungrily took sip
From the honey punched OH her red, ripe
lip
And told her she'd better stay right there
And bloom as IA Kansas sunfiower fair.
A mellow lark lodged her swinging rake
And told her that suffrage was all fake.
A butterfly lit on her sunburned ear
And whispered: ''YOur headwheels. are
out of gear!'
A grasshopper peeped from tho emerald
sod
And twittered: 1--WE never can spare you,
Maudr'
n blacksnakc said with warming hiss:
"Remember the Garden of Eden, Siss!.'
4 chipmunk chirped from a nearby
stamp:
''Tut-tut! old grille! Don't he chump!"
\ bulItoad beloved from neighboring
Don't do it, girl, or you'll rue! you'll
rue!''
And Maud said tn the passing breeze:
II can never go back on such friends as
theSe!"
And she swung the rake with newborn
will,
Her sa)ut all thrilled with rustic thrill!
And there she stays. ami contenteat sings
With the y ,ttnrtliss. bril-, all snakes
and thins'.

4 Taxless Town.

The town of Guilford, Conn, 70
which brief reference was made III
yesterdays Journal has suddenly ac-
CURED a national fame. AS town
! where no taxes are levied this year,
it is likely to lie known and talked
about, far and vide. Hitherto, it has
been known simply as prosperous
little town with fourishini, brownstone
for many years. a tan-mill rate of late,
and now it is able to dispense with
this modest levy. 1t can take vaca-
ton and still enjoy the benefits and
luXuries common to towns of its size
where the tax-bogey is an ever haunt
ing presence There will be no need
to elect assessorr and taX-collectors.
Happy Guilford Would that some Of
our Maine municipalities could have a
taste Of its hlissful experience.
But it is net likely that the old
prcverb that nothing is certain except
death and taxes" will have to be
amended as Il result of the announce
ment from Guilford. The fashion Of
taxless towns is not likely to be d very
general one. and il is not at all certain
be wished. Taxes are a good thing, to
certain extent, and it is a question
if patriotism or civic pride would hc
very positive emotions did not people
feel sense Of ownership and RESPONSE
bility through taX-paying. 1t is fortu-
nate that all towns do not skip their
this years experience is unique in its
history. Its municipal treasury
happens to be we'll filled now as the
result Of granting some extensive
quarrying franchises. Next year. the
good old custom Of tax-paying will be-
resumed.
OF course, other towns will envy
Guilford. That is natural. for while
people realize the direct ana indirect
benefits Of taN-pay ing, most of them
are anxious for some other fellow to
make the payments. Though taxes
are a blessing, they are by no means
an unmiXed blessing. and in some
municipalities where the burden is
heavy the condition Of Guilford will be
regarded as little short Of paradise.
But the experience Of Guilford does
not indicate the approach Of tn
millennium. 1t is the exception which
proves the rule. But the ideal munich
pality is not one where there are no
taxes. 1t is one where the taxes are
not unredsonably heavy and where the
taxpayers get a full return for their
money. When this is true Of a town
or city it is more to be envied than is

The Worlds Coming Language.

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
to this country, is not the first eminent
foreigner to make the prophecy that
English viii before long be recognized
national and universal tongue. But
coming as h. does from the far East,
wher" American influence is now des-
tined to be felt so strongly. his words
are of special weight In an address
just delivered at the University of
Pennsylvania he mentioned that in all
the Oriental Conters the English Ian
guage holds prominence such AS no
other tongue can claim. 1t is spoken
in the streets Of Shanghai as well az
in those Of Hong Kong he remarks.
1t l. taught in the schools of Yoke
hama as well as in those of Singapore.
Chinese. japanese, Germans. Russians
and Frenchmen alike use it in their
business offices. in their clubs and in
their family circles. In short. it may
be called the commercial language of
the orient. Signs point to its ultimate
adoption as an international tongue
1t is known to every one who has
followed VI the discussion Of this
question Of a worlds language that the
number Of persons using English az Il
mother tongue has increased marvel
ously in the past 100 or 200 years. At
the beginning Of the present century
only about 20.0000o0 people spoke this
language, while today it is used by
120, 900 600. 1t is growing faster than
any other two or three tongues Of the
world. OF course its most conspicuous
conquest has been made in the United
states. This country had only 5.oO00o0
people at the beginning Of the present
century. but 15.O00.00O or more inhabi-
tants VIII be found in il by Census
Director Merriam's assistants this
year. English is the language Of

A century ago French was spoken by

universal language. 1t had a vogue
