the county auditor and the money
actually shown to have been paid
to the county treasurer. The bal
of $134.lO,@I have directed Mr..
Schmidt who was the clerk to pay
the county treasurer holding back
$16.25 aforementioned until &C
counts are gone over with county
treasurer.
In connection with this shortage
l desire to say that in my. opinion
there has not been a! dollar wilfully
held back by Mr.. Smith but that
the whole of this shortage is due to
the clerk placing too much conf
dence in promises and I believe
that the whole Of the shortage is,
still due Mr.. Schmidt from friends
whom he has given cridit.
Respectfully yours

Deadly Common Plants.

The things that give the most pleas ure in life frequently can also cause the greatest pain. Among flowers, for instance, the beautiful snowdrop, the hyacinth, ionquil and narcissus are all poisonous, and to eat the smallest part of the root of either of them would pyoduce fatal results, while the juices of. the leaves will cause violent vomiting
 The berries of the yew tree have killed many people, and the opium obtained from poppies has also claimed its victims. Lady's slipper and lily of the valley are both danger ous. and if the blossoms of crocus are chewed they will cause vomiting Flowers from bulbous roots, however. seem to be the most dangerous, and it might not be out of place to dealers in these to label them with cross homes and mark them poison.

PETERBOROUGH GAMES.
Government Investigating the Opera tors of Bucket Shops That Do
 Business Through the Mails.

In times of prosperity there are al ways chances for the grafter. During the past ten years has been the era of the get-rich-quick man. No sooner does one scheme play out than an other takes it's place. Thanks to the ever diligent postal inspectors, and an unrelenting government, the schemers are not so plentiful as a few years ago. For some years number of supposed legitimate grain and stock brokers thrived in both eastern and western cities. These were active in soliciting through the mails, and through local offices the business of small investors. The millions of money gained from the unsuspecting people will never be known. In New York, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities large and ex- pensively conducted offices were main tained. Once the government got on the right trail, there were irregulari- ties discovered that resulted in fraud orders being issued against number of the concerns. The end is not yet, and the work of extermination will be kept up till there is none in operation. Buying stocks in a fair market Is risky business, but when there are schemers to stack the cards against the investor, there is not ghost of show. Many a bank clerk and busi- ness man can trace his downfall to speculating in the bucket shops.

UNITY OF INTERESTS.
Relationship of Residents of Rural Communities to the Home Town.

Live and let live" is a policy that
 mas come down through the ages and
 n an expression of the Golden Rule only in different words. There is in.
 porn in man desire for self-preserya.
 tion. It is law of life, and to this
 desire can be attributed that which is
 considered Selfishness within us. Saw.
 age man has little regard for the
 rights and properties of others. He
 HACKS the sense of equity and justice
 and is guided solely by the brutal in-
 stlncts. Intelligent man realizes that
 all his fellow creatures are entitled
 to the same rights he would enjoy
 nlmsef. Therefore where the Chris.
 tian spirit is found, there can be look.
 ed for such equity as gives all an
 equal chance to gain a livelihood and to enjoy the products of their labor.
 There should be the greatest har- mony among the citizens of every community. The interest of all the classes comprising a city or district should be considered identical. It has
 been noted that the most prosperous towns have been built up by har. monious and united effort of all the people composing it. In these days when there are evils to combat, when oppressive trusts exist that are fac tors in unequal distribution of wealth, 1t Is all important that the masses in each and every community unite and work in harmony for the protection and betterment of local conditions. It it to be regretted that in many agri- cultural communities there is a lack of harmony between what is called the business interests and the produc- CTS of crops. Different reasons may be advanced for this condition, but the most common cause is a misunder- standing on the part of the citizens as to the relationhip that should ex- ist between them. It is wrong for the teachings that go forth that the farmers interests are different from those Of the merchant, or that the interests differ from farmers of the community. It is also an erroneous idea that the town is alone for the townspeople and the country districts for the farm. CT. Is it not true that the merchant is dependent upon the farmer for his support? And it Is equally true that the town is an important thing to the farmer. It is convenience to him and he is as deeply interested in all that pertains to it, to it's advancement and the betterment of it's public insti- tutions, its streets, it's parks and all, as are the people who reside within the town. The merchants should real ize how important the farmer is to them, and the farmer should be brought to a realization that the town is for him as well as for those who re- side within it's limits, and, that the less antagonism between the resi- dents on the farms and the residents of the town the better it will be for the whole community. There is unity of interests that cannot be ignored, and there is common field wherein all can work for mutual benes fit
