the night Of his mothers death:

were raised this year from twenty
rubles to thirty (s15). We hadn't
money enough, SO | worked day and
night. SO did she. She was making
a rug, and she would get five rubies
for It. She had worked on 1t more
than a month. She hardly slept. She
got worse and worse. Blood began
to come out from her throat. She
often choked for breath. SO that's
why she died. Taxes

A DAY OF RECKONING.
You Cannot Fool All of the People All
Of the Time.

You Cannot Fool All of the People All
Of the Time.
The recent condemnation as unfit for
further service OF a number Of gas and
electric light plants and the closing
down OF some OF them at dead loss
to the Taxpayers should serve as
warning to other cities, for this IS the
fate that is likely to overtake all such
plants in the long run. For the first
year or two, when no expensive re-
pairs are needed and the plant is thor
ouGhly up to date, it ought not to be
dImcuIt to make good showing For
a few years longer the bad bookkeep-
ing and inadequate reports, that are
unfortunately the rule rather than the
exception, may blind the citizens TO
the deterioration OF the plant and to
its increasing losses. But the day OF
reckoning Inevitably comes when
breakdown, bad service or demand Tor
new equipment that cannot masquer-
ade as .sextenslons'' causes an invest
"a don, ana then 1t becomes evident
that the plant has been a losing prop
ogition almost from the start No plant
should be accepted as evidence OF sue
cessfuI municipal management until IL
has been operated for several years
and then examined by expert engineers
and accountants.
