Good Stories.



New York lawyer says one of his
clients is the hero of the following story
which is especially timely as the listers
are now making their annual tour in
every Vermont town
A man from the assessors office went
into the store of Hebrew merchant in
the pursuit OF bis duties. The two had
slight acquaintance, so that the as
sistant assessor did not think it neces-
sary to explain his business. He was
rather surprised when, in answer to his
questions, the storekeeper proceeded to
dilate on the value of his stock. "De
finest in any store of de size in de city.
1t issn't WORT a cent less than SIS .OOO."
Suppose put it down at that then,"
said the assessors man.
"Do it. Do it," said the proprietor.
eyer Won't maig no mistake"
So the assessors man did it. There
was lamentation in the store when the
tax bill showed the proprietor that he
was taxed on $4,000 personal. and he
rushed over to the assessors office with
all possible speed.
"Vat ISIS dis? Vat ISIS dis?" he asked
them, excitedly. 81 have no personal
but de stock in my store. I'm a liar if
its wort $500. Come down and look it
ofer."
They told him that the records showed
that he had given the figure to the as
sistant assessor.
His hands went over his head in hor-
ror. my goodness, my goodness" he
shouted. "Vas dat your man? /
thought he was from Bradstreet's."

Paul Revere's Ride.
Bunker Hill Chapter, Daug hters of the
American Revolution, has voted to place
a bronze tablet on the Charlestown end
of the new bridge to mark the spot from
which Paul Revere started on his famous
ride on the night of April Is, 1775. The
plan is to have the bronze attached to
the heavy granite wall of the bridge.
This position would be historically cor
rect, and at the same time would be
conspicuous. The Daughters have not
yet decided what the inscription on the
tablet will be, but it is to be appropriate

He Spoke English.

A young Philadelphia saved enough
money to pay the expenses incidental to
a European trip, and by strict economy
the trip was strung out to a period a
little over six months. He landed home
last week, coming in the Storage with a
lot of foreigners. The immigration
agents, with their interpreters, were
wide awake. The young philadelphia
is very dark and he was mistaken for
foreigner.
One of the interpreters came up to him
and said "Mocesh mouveet pc Polish ?"
They're trying to string me-" thought
the fourth ward man. "l'll keep it up"
So he shook his head.
The interpreter was asking him if he
could speak Polish. Then he changed to
Russian, asking: "Moczesh govereet pc
Rousski ?"
Again the supposed foreigner shook
his head.
"Redden sic Yiddish?" asked the inter-
prefer.
This was followed by another shake Of
the head. Then in order the interpre-
ter asked: Farley vous Francaise2
"Sprechen sic Deutsch? ?" and "Parlate
Italiano?"
A negative shake Of the head followed
each query.
"For heavens sake what language do
you speak ?" exclaimed the interpreter.
The supposed foreigner laughed.
THAT'S the stuff" he said. "Why
didn't you ask me that first ?"
The interpreter nearly collapsed.

Our distinguished townsmau. Col LIE.
Grand B. Cannon, is first vice president
of the American Tariff league. At the
recent annual banquet of the league Mr..
Cannon told in a quantity humorous
vein the following story at the expense
of a Vermont farmer:
The old farmer who had not an ache
or pain, went to doctor, because, as
he said, II never had doctor before and
| thought I'd have one." The doctor
said: How is your appetite ?" "Wel,"
said the farmer, 81 can eat as far as I
han see on both sides of me-" How
do you sleep?" said the doctor. II
sleep until it is time to get up and do the
milking" said he. The doctor then
made a physical examination. He said:
"You are in perfect health; but you are
in the decline OF life, and perhaps you
ought to take tonic" well" said he,
what had l better take?" "a little rye
whiskey," said the doctor. oh" said
the farmer, II could never do that. l
have son and that would never do"
Who is your barber?" II shave my
self" said the farmer, "Well," said the
doctor, couldn't you have a bottle in
your room and take the tonic whenever
you shaver" The doctor did not see the
farmer again, but one day be met his
son and inquired for his father. "He is
getting on very nicely; he is more active
than ever. But he is losing his mind"
Losing his mind ?" said the doctor.
What is the evidence of it? ?" "Well,"
said the young man, "He insists on
shaving himself six times every day.
