day OF December A. ID. 1909, both
dates inclusive;
We checked receipts from the
tax list and receipt stubs to cash
book and ledger, verifying the
same.
We checked all disbursements
with vouchers for same filed in the
Office OF the county clerk.
We made trial balance OF the
treasurer's accounts tor the year,
and verified the same made by the
treasurer at the close OF business

We find that the books and ac-
counts in the said treasurer's Office
are entirely free from error and
have been skIilfully and carefully
kept and that the system OF keep
ing accounts IN the said Office is
such as to exhibit at all times the
exact condition of the county's
finances.
We submit the following, which
shows the receipts and disburse-
ments of the county treasurer for
the year 1904.

Famous Moated House..

The moat which so often surround ed halls and castles in the old days is now generally dry and filled up, but some remarkable specimens still re- main. Perhaps the finest example of a moated house is Helmingham Hall, the seat Of Lord Tollemache, in Suf- folk, about eight miles from Ipswich. The drawbridge atill remains, and it has been raised every night for more than 300 years, the ancient precaution being observed even though the need for it has long passed by. The moat which surrounds Leeds Castle, near Maidstone, is so wide that 1t may al- most be called a lake The ancient episcopal palace at Wells is surround ed by walls which inclose nearly seven acres of ground. and by moat which is supplied with water from St. An drew's we'll. A venerable bridge spans the moat, giving access through tower gateway to the outer court London Tit-Bits.

 Feline Society.

lower working is under Priceburg, three miles from the bottom of the shaft in Providence, and Toby makes the trip on one of the motors every day and sometimes twice day.
 According to the New York Tribune, Toby has his favorite motormen. His affection toward them apparently is somewhat graduated according as they save him choice bits of meat from their dinner pails. Toby will blink uncon- cernedly as some of his more Adistant" acquaintances among the motormen whisk by, but when a real good and tried friend come bowling through the blackness Toby will brace himself, ex- actly time the speed of the motor and then-"P "Plump!" he will jump from alongside the track to spot just be- hind the headlight.
 The motormen used to hold their breath when Toby tried this leap, fear ing that he might miss. But he never misses. Whether the train is going fast or slow Toby alights close to the legs of the motorman, and then holds on tight while the little train, with a deafenfng roar, plunges forward on its way. He's sight with his eyes wide open and his tail waving, standing on the front of the motor. The miners from one end of the mine to the other know Toby, and it would go hard with the man or boy who hurt or teased him. Toby pays his way by keeping the lower working of the mine free from rats. A few mules still are used in the m mfnes, and wherever there are mules and fod- der there are rats. Tn some of the up per workings of the Cayuga there are rats a-plenty, but never a rat in the lower working. where Toby lives. He has been out of the mines once or twice, but he prefers the dark, with the rum bling motors and the soft words and betting from his hosts of grimy friends.
 The fire boss in the Hampton mine, near by, has a dog named Covey that goes the rounds of the mines every morning with the .sboss." Covey is a smart animal, too. His master has taught him to put out fires wherever they are discovered If miner in light ing pipe drops scrap of burning paper Covey flies at it and paws out the fire. With all his intelligence, however, he is no match for Toby, of the Cayuga mine.

working, where Toby makes his home, being more than 500 feet deep. It is a model mine in it's equipment, and Toby, apparently, is trying to live up to it's reputation as an up-to-date mining plant. Electric lights and electric haul
 ing motors were installed in the mines three or four years ago, when Toby was a baby cat, and he got used to the some what terrifying appearance of the bug shaped motors, with gleaming head
 lights, darting through the winding chambers 500 feet from the sunlight, dragging after them trips of ten, or a dozen small coal cars. holding two tons of freshly mined coal. Toby rides on the motors from one end of the mines to the other The northern end of the

community IS apparent to any one wno will go about with his eyes open. He will see chances for Improvement on every hand. He will soon discover them where he had not supposed they them. Observation will sharpen his vision in this respect and he will soon come to the conclusion that the scope of an improvement society is a broad one, and one that enlarges as the work goes on.
 Social features should be made part of the attraction of a local improve ment society. Have regular meetings at which papers are read on various phases of the work, discuss the cam paign and aim to draw everybody into the discussion, let music and literary exercises combine to give variety to these meetings. Once in while have supper-in short, be sociable and get acquainted with your neighbors, and let your improvement society be the bond of union which will develop friendliness and harmony in the com nRunity.
 The financial benefits derived by any village or community from local i'm provement society should not be over looked. Let a town which has been going downhill'' for years, so far as its appearance is concerned, take upon itself the new life and enterprise which is the direct result of hearty coop. eration of it's citizens in the work of general improvement and 1t will surely realize q substantial financial benefit from 1t. The price of real estate will improve as much az the place does If a man in search of a new home come into such place he will be much more likely to. invest his money in it than in a town that has no such showing of public spirit. The spirit of improve ment is in the air, and 1t gives healthy tone which makes the stranger feel quite sure that the place must be a pleasant one to live in.

Pentins Once Wore Red.

There are many people who will doubtless be interested to know that 1t is only since the thirteenth century that the popes have been accustomed to wear white. Until that time they were always arrayed in the red robes now affected by the cardinals Boni- face VIII, in 1294, however, realizing that the red was no longer distinctive color of the papaey since his predeces- rsors had accorded to their legates abroad the right to wear 1t. issued a decree granting to all the members of the sa- cred college the red robes which they now wear, and decided that whAte.should henceforth be the hwe of the raiment of himself and of his successors The popes, however. still retain from these ancient days the red hat which they wear out of doors, and the red mantle as well as the red shoes. es.-Detrcdt Free Press.

Gen. Napoleon,s necoraeion.

The cross of St. Andrew, which the cZar has just presented to Gen Prince Louis Napoleon, has very remarkable peculiarity attaching to it. All those who are decorated with this order have the right once in their lives to demand a pardon for Russian subject who has been condemned to death. The ungra- cious part of this privilege is that it by no means follows that the condemned man will be reprieved; but, at any rate, the poor wretch has chance, for his case is thus brought directly to the mo- tice of the czar, without theintervention of any officials, and, unless there is some thing political about his crime, the probability is that he will escape with his life.-London Sketch.

Cycling Backwards.

plished recently by Albert Hunter, a Skipton youth. Starting from Rob- inson's bridge, in Skipton, at half-past two in the afternoon, he rode with his back to the front wheel of his machine to Keighley Station, arriving there at 20 minutes past three, thus accomplish ing the nine miles in 50 minutes. He passed through the villages of Kild- wick, Eastburn and Steeton, and through the busy traffic in Keighley streets. There was strong wind against him part of the way, and he had to avoid 45 traps and carts, 26 cyclists, one motor car, and two road engines repairing the highway.-Lon- don.

Room Papered with Envelopes

A most quaint and novel way of pa- pering room has lately been invented by 8 young lady of more originality than taste. She has adorned the walls of her special sanctum with the en- velopes of all the letters she has re- ceived for the last few years. These are, of course, of every conceivable shape, color and size, and also bear all kinds of stamps and handwritiRgs, so the effect Is most odd. She has pursued no plan in regard to them, but has pasted them. on the walls in all kinds of positions as soon as she has received them. The effect is startling, but it cannot be said to be in any way artistic.

I.aghtHfng's queer Prank.


 Tn the state of Maine lightning has been playing DranfEs in way to star- tie the inhabitants Two miles above Norridgewock, in a clearing on tho west bank of the river, stood tall pine. frUm limb of which some years ago student o1 the Eaton school hanged himself. When the .woolsmsn came that way afterward they cut down all the other pines, but spared the suicide tree, as it has been known. One night bolt of lightning stripped from the tree every branch except that from which the student hanged him.. self, and which is identified by a notch cut where the rope was fastened. A little way off the lightning cut a deep and narrow channel through the cen- ter of great fiat rock on the river bank, as neatly as stone cutters could have done it.

The Chinese of Ningpo are success fully introducing their hand-woyen cotton goods in Manchuria The cloth is made from yarns spun in Chinese mills and from imported yarns The yarns are colored before being woven and the colors are fast and durable. The cloth is made in pieces 20 yards long and 25 inches wide. The price of these goods at Ningpo is three dollars Mexican (S1-85 United States) Der piece. The company furnishes the yarn to the villagers and pays them by the foot for weaving. The work is done on handlooms in the homes by women and children, whose earnings are only few cents per day.

House on ts.e Rocks.

Once upon time there was an arnbi- hous man who desired to found great and prosperous house, so he worked and worked, and then worked more, and after that continued to work.
 While he worked and accumulated wealth to his desire, he saved and i'm vested and reinvested over and over again, while a large family was grow Ing up under his roof.
 Finally he and his children found themselves firmly grounded in the Four Hundred, and had no fear of any social winds or floods that might beat against their house.

Remarkable Record of a village.

Until last week eight months had elapsed since a death was recorded in the village of Stanwick Northampton shire. England. It's 800 inhabitants in clude 13 whose collective ages plumber 1,0S6 years. One of them, John Neal. aged 92, gets about easily; another, George Morris, 91, still uses his trowel as stonemason; two brothers, Thomas and William Ward, are aged S5 and 82 respectively, and the ages of the others range from S5 to 7s, one of the latter, Mr. George Tailby, being the overseer of the parish. There are many between 70 and 75 years of age, but they are not considered old men at Stanwick.- London News-

In a biography Of Calico some sto-
rles are told of the caustic humor of
that bold investigator. Lotario Sarsl,
a writer on science. having sud that
the Babylonians used to cook eggs by
whirllng them in a sling. Calico re
piled; "The cause of such an effect is
very remote from that to which IT is
attributed, and to find the true cause
shall reason. thus: II an effect docs not
follow with us which followed with
Others at another time 1t is because
in our experiments something is want.

success, and If only one thing is want.
ing to us TINT one thing is the true
cause. Now we have eggs and sings
and strong men TO whiEl them, and YET
they viii not become cooked; nay, II
they were hot at first they more quick.
ly become cold, and since nothing Is
wanting to us but to be Babylonians II
follows that being Babylonlans is the
true cause why the eggs became cook
