On deducting this amount for the

found that with the increased valua-
tion of 81, 10000 over 1905, there is a
very material reduction in the
amount of tax levied.

WANTED MORE SNAKES.
As Means Of Bringing Sinners to Re-

Were What He Needed.

In q rural town in Michigan lived a
family named Beaver, noted for their
hardihood in all manner OF naughti-
ness. They were the great torment
of the minister's life. Finally. one
OF the boys was bit by rattlesnake
and sent for him. He found the Lad
greatly scared and very penitent.
After some conversation, the reverend
gentleman closed the interview by
prayer.

for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that
a rattlesnake has bit Jim. Send an

rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver
family to repentance. "-Metaphysical

Many practices which ten years ago,
five years ago. one year ago, and even
six months ago were In favor. public
opinion having no condemnation for
them, are now held to be odious and
even criminal. This is perhaps the
most notable development OF the day.
namely. the creation Of a higher stand
ard for the conduct Of American busi-
ness. The revelations Of graft in the
insurance and railroad companies are
a shock to national pride and yet
there is hardly an American who does
not know that in one form or another
graft has entered largely into the cor
porate life as into the political life
OF the country. The saving clause Of
the situation Is that 1t seems a pass
ing phase in our national progress.
The optimist has reason to rejoice that
the national conscience has been
touched and that public opinion is

Price Of Health.

Natures price for health is regular
ity. We cannot safely bottle up sleep
tonight for tomorrow nights use, nor
force our stomachs at one meal be-
cause we expect to eat sparingly at the
next, nor become exhausted in work
ing day and night, expecting to make
it up later. Nature does nothing be-
fore Ter appointed time, and any at
tempt to hurry her invariably means
ultimate disaster. She takes note Of
all our transactions, physical, mental
and moral. and places every item TO
our credit There is no such thing as
cheating nature. She may not present
her bill on the day we violate her law.
but II we overdraw our account at her
bank and give her a mortgage on our
minds and bodies, she will surely fore
close. She may lend US all we want
to-day, but tomorrow, like Shylock,
she will demand the last ounce Of
flesh. Nature does not excuse man
for weakness, Incompetence or igno-
rance. She demands that he be at
the top Of his condition.

The twig told it to the branch, and

And, when the tree heard it, it

you want to-"
And so the leaf stopped signing,

And SO it grew all summer till Octo.

autumn came, the leaf saw all the
leaves around becoming very beauti-
full. Some were yellow, and some
were scarlet, and some were striped

what it meant. And the tree said, All
