liquor and who appear not to have

information upon which this letter
is based is conclusive that the par

you herewith have engaged IN the
sale OF liquor in your county as
stated.
''You will, therefore, immediate
ly call on these parties and collect
the state tax of 5000 assessed on
wholesale and retail dealers in
spirituous or malt liquors, etc., by
the laws of this state. The fact
that the sale of liquor may be pro-
hibited in your county does not re-
lieve any person who may have en-
gagged in its sale in violation of the
law from the payment of the state
tax, nor does the payment of said
tax relieve any dealer from the pen

law with reference to it's sale in.

"Please give this matter prompt
attention. Respectfully,
CIVILIAN A. WRIHCT,
"Comptroller General"
1t will be noticed from the fore
going letter that Comptroller Gen
eral Wright does not intend to let
anyone escape who is liable for the
tax. He considers everyone who has
held a United States license to re-
tail liquor during 1902 with the ex-
ception of social clubs, which, under
a decision of the supreme court,
were exempt, is liable for the tax.
g stores which have been in
the nabit of using liquor to COM
pound prescriptions and which have
sold liquor only on physicians pre-
scriptions have not, heretofore, paid
the tax, but the attorney general
holds they are liable, and they will
be called on to pay for 1902.
Likewise, blind tigers have not
paid because that would have ex-
posed them. but the comptroller
general has secured the names of
many who operate these institutions
and the tax collectors have been in
structed to descend on them and
make them pay up.
Even social clubs must pay the
5000 tax for 1908, the Legislature
at its recent session having special
ly mentioned them in the general
tax act. There are a number of
these institutions which secured
charters for no other purpose than
to avoid the payment Of this tax.

THIS MAN WENT CRAZY.
Advertising Caused His Business
to Grow Too Fast.

A New York paper says that Alfred
Perts, the wall paper man, has gone
crazy, because his business grew so
fast that he was unable to take care of
it. During the past two wears the
business has increased at the rate OF
81, 100000 year. The sad case of this
man illustrates what it means to ad-
vertise consistently and persistently.
He got the notion into his head that
by advertising, principally in the
newspapers, he could increase his
business and make a fortune. He
tried it. He spent hundreds for ad-
yertising, and thousands came rolling
into his place of business. Then he
spent thousands for publicity, and tens
of thousands were the result. And
after awhile his business reached into
millions-all because of the folly of
advertising If he had not advertised
he might have continued to exc out an
existence in a small shop and remain
so poor that he couldn't afford to lose
his mind. AS it is, he advertised and
became d millionaire, and lost bis mind
because the money was coming to him
so fast that he didn't know what to do
with it. His fate should prove q warn
ing to all who have not the capacity to
stand prosperity to avoid advertising
as they would the plague.

DEWEY EXPLAINS INTERVIEW.
No Intention of Rejecting on German
mper or Navy.

No Intention Of Rejecting on German
Emperor or Navy.
Washington, D. Cat the instance
Of the President, Admiral Dewey called
at the White House and made a full
explanation Of the recent newspaper in
terview in which the Admiral was
quoted a saying that the Caribbean
Sea maneuyres were IAN object lesson
to the Kaiser, more than to any other
person." The Admiral assured the
President that he had no intention Of
rejecting on Germany, her Emperor, or
her Navy, and that while the state
ments credited to him were substan-
tally what he said, he neglected to
caution the interviewer against quoting
him.
At the close Of the interview the Ad-
mira1 returned Immediately to his
Rhode Island avenue home. He de-
clined to make any statement for publ
cation. At the White House 1t was
said that the Admirafs explanation
was satisfactory to the President. 1t is
not believed that further official notice
will be taken Of the incident.
The cabled reports state that the
comments of the German press upon
Admiral Dewey's reflections upon the
German Navy are very bitter. The
German Foreign officials say they do
not believe that a diplomatic incident
will result from the interview.

Pure, clean seed Of grain is n OF
the essentials, If the best results are
expected at harvest time. If the kinds
Of grain grown on the farm average
good in quality. then they can be
further improved for seed by special
preparation. There are what are called
tanning and grading mills, that will be
Of great service in this work.
Years ago q few of the farmers in
my own neighborhood united in buying
one Of these mills that would separate
N kind of grain from another and
leave the small seeds of weeds, as well
as the light, imperfect kernels of grain.
With oats or barley, for instance, as
wheat is not now raised to any extent
in Vermont, this grading process is of
particular advantage. The chaffy por-
ton is all blown out, while the lighter
grains are removed. These are Of little
consequence as seed; a detriment
rather than otherwise. For If they ger
inmate at all, they would make a
small, imperfect growth. The screened
grain will be plump and fully devel-
oped, not requiring as much per acre
as ordinary seed. The plants grown
from such seed will possess greater
vitality and make a much more vigor-
Ii and uniform growth Of straw, while
the grain will be plumper and heavier
in yield than from seed without this
preparation.-The Cultivator.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

That tho President Would Call One.
Washington, D. C.-Intelligence Of
the ratification at Havana of the
Cuban treaty as amended by the
United States Senate was received
here. The action Of the Cuban Senate
in thus accepting the treaty without
any amendment simpliied matters, and
insured the exchange Of ratification
In this city before Tuesday, March 81.
Article XI. of the treaty provided that
the r~atif1cat;ons should be exchanged
at Washington as soon as could be be-
fore March 81.
Secretary Hay, when appraised of the
action Of the Cuban Senate, expressed
his qualification. Secretary Hay added
that in his message to Minister Squiers
he gave the positive assurance that the
President would call an extra session
Of Congress in the fall. The time was
not stated, but the Secretary said that
Congress would be convened sufficient
~ in advance of the regular session
to assure it's action on the treaty as re-
quired by the Senate amendments be-
fore December 81.

Kindness.

Have we thought that more hearts pine
away in secret anguish for the want ol
kindness than from any other cause in life,
Kind words and a pleasant voice are worth
a great deal more than money, and yet
they are things which all can give, and give
literally, if they VIII. And when 4 few
words will make a man happy, he must in
deed be a wretch who viii not give them.
IF kindly courtesy were the rule at home
and in social life there would be much
more happiness. Kindness is ike lighting
another's candle at our own. That which
the other gains does not take away any of
our own light. Kindness is like a calm and
peaceful stream that reflects every object
in it's just proportions. Kindness finds its
way into hidden recesses of the heart, and
brings forth treasures that otherwise would
lie hid. Harshness, on the contrary, seals
them up forever. Opportunities of doing
kind acts, if sought for, are forever start
ing up, and it is by words of kindness re-
curing daily and hourly that affection is
won and preserved. He who neglects to
do these tri1es, yet boasts that when 3
great sacrifice is necessary ne will be ready
to make the sacrifice, if he does it at all,
will do so more for his own sake than for
that of his neighoor. We are surrounded
by sensitive hearts; therefore, do not
breathe a sentiment or say a word that will
offend another, or send a thrill of pain to
his bosom. But speak promptly when you
feel kindly. Many lose the opportunity OF
saying a kind word by waiting too long

Extra Session Of Congress to Make
the Convention Effective.

Havana, Cuba.-The treaty of rect

the Cuban Senate by a vote Of
twelve to nine. This approval is abb

The purport of this assurance was
transmitted to the Senate by President
Palma, and read at the beginning of
b session, an understanding having
been reached previously with Senators
Bustamente, Cap0te and DOLE, COM
posing the majority Of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, that the objection
able condition in the report be elimin-
ated. This was done by the Offering
Of amendments by other Administra-
ton Senators substituting the uncondi-
tional adoption Of the amendments to
the treaty by the American Senate for
the qualified acceptance contained in
the original report.
Final action vas delayed for a long
time by the discussion Of an amend
ment offered by Senators Sanguilly,
Tamayo and Recio, requiring the
House to pass upon the treaty.
The amendment requiring the House
to pass on the treaty was defeated by
a vote Of five to fifteen.
An amendment to Or q substitute

proved and ratified all the amend

possible. To this substitute report was
added the following:
This recommendation must not be
taken as an amendment to or a modif-
cation Of the treaty"
The vote was taken separately on
each section of the substitute report.
The vote on the unconditional ratifica-
ton of the treaty was IL to 0; on the
recommendation to the Executive it
was II to 8.
The present session Of the Senate
then adjourned. The ~ratifications will

Morristown,. BEN Cracked.

A few days ago it was discovered
that the old bell of the First Presbyte-
rian Church at Morristown was
cracked. 1t has called the people to
services for more than 40 years. 1t
will be fecast. The bell was first used
in 1854 in a tower 100 feet high. When
the old church building in which Wash
ington %worshiped when he made his
headquarters in this city in 1778-79
was torn down the old bell was put in
the new church tower. According to
tradition it was sent to Morristown
from England to be used in an Episco-
palian church, but as there was none
here the Presbyterians seized 1t. The
bell bears the legend Sister and Peck.

Of peaches in a single year. but this
was several years ago, when many
farmers had planted nearly their en-
