QUESTIONABLE SHAPES.
Mr.. Howells in his latest book
traces in curious fashion the effect
of supernatural experiences on
his characters. Here is fiction of
a very ghostly character. Yet
these stories do not seem untrue,
as ghost stories usually do. The
truth is that these tales are told
with such perfect art, such photo
graphic reality, that the reader
feels he is living with tho char
actors through their queer adven-
lures, and is part of the mystery,
the awe, Of the thing. The VOL
ume is exciting wide interest.

THE LOVE OF MONSIEUR.
The secret of success in writ

TOWN TOPICS.
THE ADJOURNED TOWN MEETING,
LAYS A FIFTEEN-MILL TAX IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT AN EIGHTEEN MILL TAX WAS NEEDED.

The adjourned annual town meeting, which was held on last Saturday, though but very slimly attended, pro- duced more discussion than many a larger one has done. The meeting was for the purpose of laying a tax, and after George w. Stuart had stated his opinion as to the desirability of econ 18~mfff tax, Selectnaan- Morris gave 6 brief estimate of expenses for the year, which aggregated about S29, 900 and includes the s3OO0 appropriation for new state road, $500 for High school and 5000 gratuity to the Fabric Fire Hose Go. MT Morris stated that it would require an 18-mill tax to pay all expenses. MT Stuart said among other things that people are living too ex- travagantly to-day. We must econ omize or we will all be in the poor house. Because we are adding more and more to the tax rate our property is depreciating in value and the taxes are very burdensome to the poor. | Alu&o d1C HUI dO VO11 AOV d0 Ul1OJ were 15 years ago. It is easy for the professional men to want to put large tax on the poor people but it is difficult for the workingman to Make both ends meet.
 Attorney c. H. Northrop said that we ought not to consider whether the tax was a burden or not. We should do our duty like men and not go on year after year heaping up heavier burden for posterity. How does our taxes compare with other towns? Bedding pays 15 mills, Easton 15 mills; Bethel town, 15 mills, and Bethel borough, 10 every other year; Oxford 26 mills. l say let us face the condi tions as we find them. In June, when one-half of the road contracts are done, it will find the treasury not able to pay. A number of years ago when the late George w. Bradley was alive, he wanted to lay l5-mill tax, and that motion upheld, but it was defeated. I say let us put our shoulder to the wheel and pay up like men.
 Dr Gordon thought we ought to raise more than just enough to pay as we go, in order to reduce the debt.
 An amendment to make the tax 20 mills was offere9 and J. J. Northrop proposed an amendment to the amend ment that the rate be 15 mills. T. J. Corbett seconded this amendment and said that the taxes ought to be made payable in June. J. J. Northrop said that we should cut down appropria- tions and that he was ready to cut ap- propriations for schools. After some further discussion the Northrop amendment was carried, 28 to 20, and the original motion as amended was carried, making the tax for the next year 15 mills. A motion was then made by T. J. Corbett to collect the tax in June, which was carried. The meeting was then adjourned to the outside, where a great deal of "hot air" was injected into the atmosphere, after~which all hands went home, no doubt each one of the same opinion still. D. G. Beers acted as moderator of the meeting.
 Moral: Did you ever lift yourself with your boot straps, or make one dollar do the work of two, except at a Bargain sale?

Al1lTE'S MITE.

The TOllOWlng IS good illustration of the hearty spirit with which all, from the ol;'est to the youngest. have joined in raising the money for the improvements now being made in the Congregational church. A lady mem- Der of this church was calling, the other day, upon another lady member; and the little daughter of the latter toddled in and triumphantly poured the aontenes of a diminutiye purse into the formers lap. Thirteen pennies were collected in the heap. "What are these for?'' was the inquiry.
 "They are. for the church!'' was the quick rejoinder, with considerable em- phasis on the last word. The mother of the young lady had urged that nickels take the place of some of the pennies; but the proprietress of the bank as stoutly refused, reasoning that they looked more in the penny form. It was learned that the miss had earn ed every penny by bringing in wood or setting the dry dishes away in the china closet. With this spirit prompt ing the gift. the donor of the largest amount that was subscribed will find no more acceptance with Him who said, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.'
