Such plebeian and minute thing
as the leg of a common house fly has
caused seven months of worriment to
a st. Paul expert accountant and a
still longer period of financial embar-
rassment to one of the leading grain
companies of that city. For almost a
year the company has been unable to
have its books properly balanced, in
as-much as they were 300 out, and
whoever knows anything of the mer-
camille affairs of this country knows
that a firm without monthly trial
balance, exact to the cent, is on the
verge of disrupture or bankruptcy.
The Machiavellian possibility of a
set of books which cannot be balanced
are frightful to contemplate. Treach-
cry, dishonesty and absolute failure
Turk in the tangled figures. No won
der the expert accountant who for sew
en- months worried, fumed and fretted
over the books gave a shout Of JOY, q
scream of happiness, when his pencil
tracing column for the thousandth
time snapped an apparent 81" and
showed it only fly-leg adhered to the
paper. The books had been out 800.
The error was found. A has the COM
mon house fly. We respectfully SUBJ
init the story to all bookeepers whose
books will not balance and to all
cashiers who intend absconding. To
the one; scrape every figure and see
that it is genuine: To the other; lay
in large supply of hy-legs and
sprinkle them judiciously over the
trial balance. If one hy-leg causes a
financial deadlock for seven months,
an Arizona centipeed, used iudiciously
should enable any cashier to live in
luxury until his natural death. Reg
lister and Leader.

In all the corners, or attempted
corners, the melancholy feature is the
fact that thousands OF people are
drawn into the maelstrom. Beginning
in small way with their speculations,
they continue to enlarge their opera
tions as the success of their leader
grows. When the ultimate crash
comes they are wrecked and thousands
of women and children who have had
no part in the mad game are fated to
suffer, perhaps for life, with them.
The unfortunate leader becomes odious
to those who have previously hailed
him as king. Boston Transcript,

S. M. Gardner in O communication
elsewhere in this paper speaks of the
road tax as being hold-up, etc. 1t
seems to us that the article implies
that the county officials are to blame
in the matter. Mr.. Gardner no doubt
knows and everyone else should un-
derstand that in the road tax pay
ment the work of the county treasurer,
auditor and the board of supervisors
is purely clerical. The law is in OPP
Grafton all over the state; the levy is
made by the township and we suppose
they need all the money they will get
for road work or the trustees would
not have made the levy. All that the
county officials have to do with the
tax is to collect it and turn it over to
the several townships. Last year
was the first year of the law now in
operation and the tax was collected
by the townships direct. Several
thousand dollars was not collected
and was returned against the land.
That delinquent tax of course must be
paid as we'll as the tax for 1904 which
is collected in advance. This year
the tax is collected by the county
treasurer in advance, but just how
the advance payment makes double
assessment, as Mr.. Gardner claims, we
cannot see. Mr.. Gardner cites his
own case as having paid road tax last
year on cattle and hogs assessed in
January 1908 and sold in August and
says he. must pay 1904 tax on the
same stuff. He is right in the state
ment that it is a double assessment II
he pays also on the proceeds of those
hogs and cattle, otherwise he has
simply changed the form of his pro-
perty from live stock to money and
his 1904 tax is no higher than it
should be so far as the legal part of
it goes.
The road law may be wrong and
cause tax burdens hard to bear, but
the opinion seemed to prevail to give
1t trial of few years before repeal
ing IT,

TakInr Desperate Chance.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and q
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t should
be borne in mind that every cold
weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality,
makes the, system less able to with
stand each succeeding COS and paves
the way for more serious diseases.

A few minutes use of Hyomei four
times day cures Catarrh.

The pleasantest, most convenient
and the only scientific method for
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hyo-
mel. Simply put twenty drops of Hy-
omei in the inhaler that comes with
every package and then breathe it for
few minutes four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect a
cure, but the most important discover
les of science have always been the
simplest. By breathing Hyomei in
this way every particle OF air that en-
ters the air passages of the throat and
head and goes into the lungs is charged
with healing balsam that kills the
germs and bacilli of catarrh and sooth-
|es and allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement and in
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. It's action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs $1.O0, and if
after using you can say that it has not
helped you G.. NJ. Crosby & Co. will re-
turn your money. What other treat
ment for catarSh is sold under guar
antee like this?

Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edY as follows: "Sixteeh years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
1887, and finding itsuch reliable rem
edy for colds and Group, we have never
been without it in the house since that
time. We have five children and have
given it to all of them with good re-
suits. One good feature of this RENE
dy is that it is not disagreeable to take
and our babies really like it. Another
is that it is not dangerous, and there is
no risk from giving an overdose. l con-
graduate you upon the success of your
remedy" For sale by J. w. Legg &

There are good many farmers In this

tie cotton on hand, which they are
holding. They feel that they are lot
taking any risk, for they do not see
how the price of cotton can possibly go
much lower than it is now, and they
think it very likely that it will get a
