The Country Paper.

He was getting home from business
he merchant well to do
The wheels of the electric car were
throwing sparks of blue,
And around him were acquaintances
who, where they stood or sat,
BY look or word or gesture were invit-
ing him to chat.
But quite ignoring all of them, except
to bow and smile, !.
When hailed by some one at the door
or Just across the aisle,
He read with boyish eagerness, while
speeding DER the street,
The poorly printed pages of little
country sheet.
He read of Tom Jones enterprise in
adding to his barn,
And learned that "Solon Huddleson
has got bran new yarn"
That "Aunty Simpkins gave tea,"
that crops are pretty good"
And that "Ab Bailey came to town and
bought load of wood"
Well yes, these things are trifles, per.
haps to you or me;
For him they are reminders Of the
times that used to be;
And from his busy city life he glances
back with JOY
To see the town that circumscribed
his doing as boy.
Each poorly printed paragraph upon
the homely sheet,
Presents scene familiar or friend
he used to meet;
And maybe--you can tell 1t by the
smiles that quickly come
There's mention Of his mother and the
other folks" at home"
Men wander far for fortune and find it
too, and yet
The farm and slothful village and its
folks they ne'er forget;
And there's not a thing in city life
which greater Joy can give
Than the little country paper printed
where they used to live.

THE Howard case which caused
such hurrah when instituted turns
out to have been quite a small mat
ter.'-Montpelier Argus
The Messenger does not so under
stand the facts AS this paper views
the affair, the primary issue in this
suit was not simply to recover any
sum of money, great or small, from
Howard, and it did not matter, there
fore, how much the bill of charges
was scaled down from its original
figure. The real issue at trial in this
suit was one of principle and not of
dollars. The question to be determined
was whether Howard had taken any
money from the state treasury that
did not belong to him. And If he had
and had done 1t knowingly and with
design to defraud, he was just as
guilty If IL was one cent as he would
be II it were a million dollars.-St. AL
bans Messenger.
1t is stated that Howard declares
that II he ever gets clear he will do his
best to make 1t hot for at least two
Vermont newspapers. The same old
story. When a man sins and gets
caught and the newspapers, often with
sorrow and regret, chronicle the facts
the discredited one Immediately
blames the papers for his troubles In.

1T belongs-on his own weak soul.

his family, and the good name of his
state, raving against the newspapers.

Nebraskan Says That Most Banks Are
sound and Deposits Secure.
CONNELLSyILLE, Pa, Nov. 21.-
William j. Bryan in his lecture here
spoke on the financial situation, ex-
pressing the belief that most banks
are sound and deposits therein secure.
He said:
las to the present financial condi-
ton, / believe the cause is to be found
In Wall street speculation. Investiga-
tons have shown the fictitious charac-
ter Of some of the stock and misman-
agement which has characterized some
OF the larger corporations. When the
public became aware of the character
Of the stock they had been buying
they began to dispose of their holdings,
and the resulting shrinkage In values
affected some of the New York banks
and trust companies closely Identified
with speculative transactions. Runs
on these banks frightened other de-
positors, and New York banks finally
found themselves unable to return the
reserves that had been deposited by
outside banks. These outside banks,
not being able to withdraw their funds,
have in some cases found 1t necessary
to limit the withdrawals from the
funds which they had at hand"
After the lecture Mr.. Bryan left for
Washington to attend a wedding.

Vermont Is not alone in its efforts
to improve its system of taxation.
No less than six other states have
commissions studying the matter The
question is great one, but there are
certain changes that even slight study
suggests. These are the assessment
of actual property at its actual value
and the abolition of offsets. These
are the two most notorious frauds in
the tax system of Vermont, though
there are doubtless plenty of others.

Settlinu a Bet,

The quiet Of the room in which
the answers TO queries editor sat
was disturbed by the entrance Of
two half grown boys. One Of them
pulled OIL his hat and addressed
him:
"Me and this fellcr have made n
bet" he said, "and we've agreed to
leave il to you. He bets that il all
the turkeys that was cit last Christ
mas was placed in n line they would
reach around the world. and ! be,
they wouldn't. Who's lost?"
"You have, my SON." answered
the man in the chair. "Thcy might
be placed mile apart and they
would still be in line, you know"
As they turned and went out Of
the room the boy who had acted as
spokesman was seen 10 hand q
small coin over TO the other with
great reluctance and distinctly
heard TO say:
swell, ! can lick you, anyhow"
"Bet you n nickel on that, too"
replied the other boy.

Juplter's Double Moon.

The most wonderful of all the ro-
markablc things which nightly
come within the range Of the pow
erful modern telescopes is the dou-
bic moon which continually circles
around and around Jupiter, the
"giant of the skies" This astro-
nomical oddity was not known un-
I'll after the great Lick telescope
was put in position on Mount Ham
ilton, the discovery of the tiny satel-
lite only dating back TO 1891. The
first hint of the presence Of this
"moon Of moon" was given when
one OF the Lick observatory men re-
ported that one Of Jupitcr's satel-
lites appeared TO be casting double
shadow on the giant planets sur
face. From that time forward for
some weeks sharp lookout was
kept, and at last the observers were
rewarded in getting glimpse of
the curiosity-a tiny dot Of a moon
revolving around another moon,
both held in position by the great
Jupiter.

BACKWARD BOYS.
Brilliant Men Who Did Not Shine In
Their Younger Days.

1 think most men who have been
educated at any large public school
will readily call to mind numerous
instances Of boys who were always
winning prizes, yet have not done
anything worth mentioning in after
life. And | am confident that upon
investigating the early years of
those who have led strenuous and
remarkably successful career it will
be found that the majority were
rather lazy than not before they en-
tered upon the actual battle Of life.
Oliver Goldsmith was looked
upon by his schoolmaster as a Ounce.
That may possibly have been the
fault Of the latter. fancy there is
something specially narrowing to
the mind in a scholastic career, Just
as there is in a doctors. That at
least is my individual experience.
Gladstone never took prize at
school, if / remember Alright, though
he subsequently gained double
first at Oxford. Those high priests
of science and philosophy, Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall and Herbert Spen-
Ger, did not particularly shine in
their younger days.
We find plenty Of evidence that
people who in the first stages Of
their career make prolonged and ex-
haustive demands on their stores Of
nerve force rarely attain length of
days. Whether those demands have
been made merely in the pursuit of
wealth or for some more noble OBJ
ject does not matter. The result is
the same. Thus Napoleon consid-
cred about four hours in bed ~
good nights rest" lie joined the
majority at fifty-onc. Dickens pass
ed over at fifty-eight, his great rival,
Thackcray. at ffty-two. Byron
achieved his unique reputation in
the short compass of thirty-six
years, Mozart in thirty.fve and
Schiller in forty-fve. Alfred Belt
died at fifty-three and Cecil Rhodes
at forty-cight.-London Chronicle.

DOES THE DOG REAsoN7
Authentic Instances That Seem TO War.
rant That Conclusion.

A dog | owned suffered a great
deal with indigestion. The least in
discreet diet would bring on these
attacks, and as they occurred very
frequently / had large bottle of
medicine always on hand and kept
it on a shelf in his kennel. The
dog seemed to have acquired thor
ough comprehension as to the relief
bringing quality of that bottle.
Wkeaever he was i'll and food was
placed before him he would scent it,
walk away without touching it, then
turn to the shelf and, gazing stead
lily at the bottle, indicate plainly his
wants. lie took the medicine with
out the slightest baking, which is
rather exceptional, as any one who
ever tried to dose q dog will agree.
This dog when let out would
never disturb anything in the poul-
try yard, but the moment a stray
chick lost her way into his yard the
savage got the better of him. He
would catch the unfortunate strag-
glcr, kill and devour it, leaving only
a few feathers as evidence Of the
"murder." Punishment always fol-
lowed. The remnants of feathers
we're shown to the dog so rs to inn
press on him his wrong doings and
make the cause of the punishment
clear to him. From time to time
young chickens would be missing,
and all efforts to locate the guilty
one we're vain. The dogs yard was
always scrutinized, but nothing
found.
Nv best broilers were disappear
ing at rapid rate, and | decided to
have the dog watched. Soon he was
caught in the act and the mystery
solved. The moment the dog had
finished his meal he scratched the
feathers in a heap and carried them
with his teeth to n corner OF his
yard. where he buried them. The
dog had the most embarrassed and
helpless expression ut the time he
was caught that l ever noticed on
a dog. An extra severe punishment
was dealt out, and i do not know
IL the modification of being trapped
or the punishment did the work,
but the dog was cured from that
moment on.
The related observations show
reasoning in order to accomplish
something for set purpose. / be-
lieve most animals possess the quail
ity in some degree, more or less,
according TO their mental develop
ment.
In the last case described the
dogs instinct led him to catch and
kill the chicken, but memory told
him that punishment would follow
IL found out. lie reasoned that by
hiding the evidence Of his guilt he
would escape punishment for his ac-
tions, which he understood TO be
wrong. The very fact Of being able
to discriminate between right and
wrong and trying TO check the con-
sequences Of the latter shows the
necessity Of thinking and therefore
OF reasoning powers. l.. De Fa-
bry in Outing.
