REFORM FOR OTHERS.

The banks of the state have a total
of deposits of about S1S3. 600, 900. The
assessors found some $7,000.000 in their
rounds. It Is fashfona Bile and pleasing

good deal Of roasting. But 1t is ap-
parent that the army of reform in
cludes many recruits who have been
so busy talking the square deal that
they have not had time to tell the truth
to the assessor This recalls the story
of one righteous old citizen of Ottawa
who used to live out in the country
who, when he found that his wife had
told the assessor the real facts about
his finances used language that shocked
the hired men on the next three farms
