TWO FARM HOMES.

We passed two Of them the other
day-two farm homes-betwcen which
there was such contrast that the Diff
ferences were most striking. The
house lot of the one was inclosed by .
neat woven wire fence, which eff
fectively kept the chickens and other
farm animals out Of the flower beds
and vegetable garden. In this cass
the house was neatly painted, Wa
equipped with screen doors and win
dOws while a rOomy porch was alss
closely screened so as to protect tina
inmates Of the house from dles and
mosquitoes. In the neatly kept dowee
beds within this Enclosure there wero
roses, asters, nasturtiums and dahliaA
The machinery was slowed away In
sheds near the barn, and the plgpeo
was located out back Of the barn. II
the other case the pigs, chickens, ducks
and geese were shut inside the house
lot which was shaded by a dsnao
growth Of soft maple AID willow trees
and In which not a weed or spear q
grass was growing. There were ~
troughs, swill pals and flies by ths
hundred in the vicinity Of the trone

REMARKS.

Both the County tax rate and the State tax
rate for the year 1907, have been reduced the
former being 50 cents and the latter 10 cents
on each one hundred dollars assessment, the
county rate being one cent less, and tbs
State, seven and one-half cents less than last
year, being total reduction of eight and
one-half cents on each one hundi ed dollsrs
assessment from last years rate. The Com
missioners had hoped to reduce the County
rate at least two and one-half cents, but
owing to the absolute necessity of providing
more room for the pupils Of the Public
Schools, the Commissioners were compel d
to build several additions to school build
ings In different parts of the County to &C
commodate the increased attendance of the
Public Schools, besides building several new
school buildings.
The heavy rains during the latter half Of
the year 1906 did considerable damage to the
public roads and small bridges throughout
the County, which necessitated an unusual
amount Of extra repairing to make the
bridges safe to cross and the roads fit for
public travel, all of which necessitated an
pairs to roads and bridges, in which the Com
miesioners used the utmost care and Judg-
ment in making said repairs.
There is another matter the Commissioners
wish to call the attention Of the taxpayers of
the County, which is the operation of the
Shoemaker Road Law, an Act passed by the
General Assembly of Maryland. In 1904, Chap
which the Commissioners have no control,
they are compelled, upon the petition or
two-thirds of the owners Of the land binding
on such road as may be pet1ti0ned for, TO
make application to the State Highway Com
mission for plans and specifications and II
said Commission sees fit to grant the road, the
Commissioners have no say In the matter,

THE FACE OF CHRIST.

The traditional type of Christ pic
lures, with full beard and flowing hair,
can not possibly be a>true portrait of
the Savior. Christ certainly never
wore a beard and his hair was closely
cut. For this we have historical
proofs The Oldest representations of
the face of Christ, going back to the
first Christian centuries and found
chiefly in the catacombs of Rome. all
picture him without a beard; but they
differ to certain extent with refer
ence to the hair, the Hellenistic type
of Jesus representing him with some
what longer hair than does the Alex
andrian type. All the Christ pictures
down to the beginning of the fourth
century at least, and even later, are OF
this kind. The further fact that Christ
must in his day have worn short hair
can be proved from the Scriptures.
Among the Jews none but the Naza-
rites wore lorig hair. Christ was in
deed a Nazarene, but not a NaZarite;
the facts of his life supporting this
view. To be a Nazarite was contrary
to his character and spirit; and as it
is more than probable that he drank
wine at times, he could not have been
a Nazarite according TO Mum. vi. $40.
II he was not a Nazarite, then like the
rest of the Jews he wore his hair short.
Further evidence is furnished by Paul
in 1 Cor XII. Il, where it is expressly
DECEASED that it is dishonor for man
to wear his hair long, something that
the apostle would not have said had
his Master worn it thus.-Turmer
Geipsic).

HOUSE DETECTIVES SPOTTED
It is said that in Chicago and New
York even the house detectives in tbs
edepartment stores are known to tbs
professional shoplifters. There is al
least one man in Chicago who makes
1t his business to take snapshots O
these detectives. He even knows when
one resigns or is discharged, and with
in a short time after a new men goes
on duty the snapsh6tter has his pic
ture ready for those who are inter
ested in knowing how the detective
looks.
Clifton r. Woolridge has been the
most photographed detective in Chi
cago, and citizens as well as criminals
are likely to recognize him at any time
when they meet him. This does not
hamper Mr.. Woodbridge in his work
however. for he is a master at dis
guises, and is one of the officers who
make up in conventional detective
story style when working on an i'm
portant case.

THE AIM OF LIFE.

This life S mystery.
The value of thought cannot be told;
But it is clearly worth a thousand lives
Like many men s. And yet men love
to live.
AS if mere lives were worth their living
for.
What but perdition viii it be to most
Life's more than breath and the quick
round of blood;
Tt is great spirit and busy heart.
The coward and the small in soul scarce
do live.
One generous feeling-one great thought
one deed
OF good. ere night, would make life
longer seem
Than if each year might number a
thousand days,
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts,
not breaths;
In feelings, not IN figures on dial.
We should count time by heart throbs.
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts
the best,
And he whose heart beats quickest lives
the longest;
Lives in one hour more than in years do
some
Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips along
their veins.
Life is but means unto an end; that
end,
mean, and end to all things
God
The dead have all the glory of the
world.

TEACHER CARRIES HER

PRETTY MISS WADEs THROUGH
WATER WHEN BRIDGE Is
CARRIED AWAY.

Winsted, COnn.-When 1t came time
to dismiss the II pupils in the little
school at North Goshen the other aft
ernoon, Miss Katherine Malahan, the
pretty teacher, discovered that a foot
bridge over which the children had to
pass. had been carried away. She
tried to summon help by telephone,
but the line was out Of order. The
water in the usually placid stream
was rising rapidly and visions of pass
ing the night in the lonely school
house with her charges loomed up
clear and distinct.
Miss Malahan realized that 1t was
up to her to get the pupils out of
danger. Rolling up her skirts and

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement Of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most Of
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
trial sermon. and all. in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
The reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, lis because he
has the right kind Of a wife for .
minister She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. I found out long
while ago-shortly after l was mar
ried myself, in fact-that a man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents 1t on his congregation. That
was why We couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him."
And upon that unique recommends
tion the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last &C.
counts both he and the congregation
we're doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.

She Waded Through the Cold Water

II times she waded through the cold
waters for distance of several rods
with youngster on her shoulders
When the last one was safely landed
the teacher hurried home and changed
her clothing.
At the supper table the boys and
girls told about the plucky school
ma'am, and Miss Malahan was kept
busy accepting the thanks of appre
ciative parents. They assured her
that she can be the entire school sys
TEN of North Goshen just as long as
she desires to remain.
All the streams in Litchfield and
Berkshire counties have been at
freshet height for two days, the re-
suit of the incessant rain. At Hancock
horse was attached to a footbridge
to keep the structure from being car
ried away. The current pulled the
animal off the bank. and horse and
lumber floated downstream together
Several hours later the horse was
found seated on the bridge where it

the child's limb had begun to swell
and to turn black.
Mrs. McMakin had two chickens
killed and split open, and the warm
and still quivering bodies were bound
upon the wounds.
DR.. w. F. Rolens and Dr. l.. E. Ro-
lens, of Dixon. galloped from town to
the farm, and saw at once that hs1oic
measures were necessary to save the
life of the child, as it's breathing was
beginning to be labored and the heart
action had almost ceased.
They were afraid to administer
whisky to child SO young, but resort
ed to other powerful stimulants, in the
meanwhile lancing the punctures,
when again Mrs. Waters heroically ap-
piled her lips to the wound and drew
the venom out.
For several hours the child did not
rally. but gradually under the power

it is well out Of danger.
The conclusion of the doctors under
the circumstances is that Mrs. Wa

venom with her lips was the only
thing that saved the life of her daugh-

withdrawing the venom from the bites,
