WISE WORDS.

The cheerful gift makes the cheerful
giver.
Big game are often killed with little
guns.
Green branches do noc grow on dead
roots.
He who knows he is right fears no
ridiclIie.
Youth lives in the future and age in
the past.
He cannot be brave who does not
fear to do wrong.
The courtesies are the flowers on
life's dining-table.
The power of tear-drop is in that
is rises in the heart.
Liberty is freedom to do what you
ought, not what you like.
Too many are content to sing Of the
heights while they walk in the vale.
Application to ideals accomplishes
more than mere appreciation Of them.
When there is sunshine in the soul
there will be flowers and fruit in the
life.
A man is not champion of truth
because he howls at all who differ
from him.
The sweetest song you can sing as
| you work will not atone for sweeping
| the dust into the corners.-Ram's
Horn.

The Wisconsin Ice.

Wisconsin. like certain other states,
is giving its taxation system thor
uEh overhauling. and the lawmakers
Of that state have hit upon one unique
method of raising revenue. Or rather.
1t might be better to say that they are
making at least one unique attempt
to raise revenue for it is not yet set
tied that the attempt will be a success
full one. Most of the ice used i'm
Chicago is cut upon Wisconsin lakes
and one sapient Scion felt that rich
Chicago should pay Wisconsin some
thing for this ice. To be sure it pays
for cutting and storing and trans
porting. but the Wisconsin state
trea sury does not directly profit by
this outlay of the Chicago companies.
So the aforesaid legislature intro
duoed a bill laying a tax of 10 cents a
ton on all ice cut in Wisconsin and
shipped to other states. OF course.
neither companies nor consumers
would feel so trifling a tax and it
would help fill the state Golfers. So
the legislature promptly passed the
bill and the governor signed it.
Now somebody has raised an en-
barrassing question. The United
States constitution has little clause
which remarks that mo tax or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from
any state 1t will be interesting to
see il Wisconsin can prove that this
tax on ice is not an export tax. Per-
haps the lawmakers hold that the ice
is the property of the state which by
this law sells it to the companies at 10
cents per ton. But this argument is
spoiled by the fact that the state dis
eliminates by only placing the tax on
the ice which is exported to other
states. meaning. Of course, Illinois.
1t looks as if ambitious statesmen were
again in trouble through running
against the constitution. The Ice
Trust seems to have saved Maine law
makers from any danger of similar
trouble.

bring them back II the intrepid explor-
er has accomplished his purpose. The

Bowdoin commencement and joining
his classmates in celebrating the goth
anniversary Of their graduation.
Though this is the fourth expedition
since into the Arctic regions by the
Peary Arctic Club since then 1t Is the
fifth ship as In 1898 both the Hope and
Windward went north and the Hope
returned the same year. In 1899 the
Diana went north. to return again in
company with the Windward. Last
year the Windward sailed again, her
captain being instructed to meet Lieut..
peary at Etah, Greenland. near the
18th degree. and to follow his orders
thereafter. The Windward did not re-
turn and no word has come from Lieut..
Peary since March 80, 1900. when he
was at Fort Conger. 1t is hoped that
his party has reached the pole. which
task, according to his plans. would
have occupied two seasons. and then re-
turned to wait for the promised ship of
1901. It is. of course. possible that the
Windward was wrecked. and that the
party are somewhere on land. while it
may be that all were lost.
II Lieut.. Peary has failed to reach
the pole. but wishes to make another
trial. he may take supplies from the
Erik. and then send her back. II the
Nindward has been wrecked. it may
be that all the surviving members Of
the expeditions (there were about
twenty-one in all. including Mrs.
Peary) will have to return on the Erik.
May the dauntless explorer have
reached the pole and return in safety
to enjoy the great triumph which will
await him.

the square tail of the trout. The body

ly covered with black spots. extending
well up on the head. and with a slight
touch of color near the middle of the
body. The head was shaped something
like that of salmon. but was broader
and heavier. But the most peculiar
and distinguishing feature Of the fish
was the formation Of the gill openings.

with its charming historic grandeur

the literary recluse. Many other men

similar testimony of York's delightful
advantages. Prominent among them Is
William Dean Howells who passes his
summers here. He is perhaps the great
