The Woodchuck,s Name.

One of the most noticeable traits OF
woodchucks is the throwing up Of large
piles of dirt in front of their burrows
According to the author of Familiar
Life In Field and Forest" it is from
this practice that the woodchuck got
his name. In olden times-probably in
the time of Aesop-the lower animals
used to live in one happy country with
q Judge over them, the dog. One day q
rabbit whose burrow adjoined that of
q marmot complained to the latter that
the little rabbits eyes were continually
filed with the dirt which he threw out
of his burrow. The marmot paid Nc
heed to this remonstrance, and the rab
bit was compelled to appeal to the
Judge. His honor Immediately sem
word to the offender that greater care
must be taken in the future. But the
lnsolent marmot. notorious for bis In
.;gility and Indifference. replied to the
messenger that he "would chuck his
dirt Just where he pleased.
That settled it. The dog has been
hunting for the gross offender ever
since, and the name "woodchuck" has
stuck to the whole tribe Of marmots.

County commissioners of Nicollet
county stand to lose S75 a year in
salary as the result of the action of
the state board of equalization.
Salaries of the commissioners are
based upon the assessed valuation of
property in the county, and heretofore
they have drawn SITS a year. Last
spring the members of the state tax
commission issued instructions for
assessors to make returns at actual
value, and the assessed valuation
reached a total in excess of ST ESQ, 900.
This meant an increase of $75 year
for each commissioner, but the state
board of equalization stepped in with
reductions which will amount to APP
preximately S750,OOO. One slash, that
of 10 per cent on real property, Topped
off S500,O and in consequence the
assessed valuation has fallen below
seven millions and the commissioners
will get no increase.

character grows year by year and it
may be truthfully asserted that no
Swedish comedy drama, of any class,
has heretofore scored success equal
to that of cole Swanson" which will
