His Little Joke.

There is an amusing story of high
land soldier who while lying danger
ously i'll in hospital expressed desire
to hear the bagpipcs once more before
he died. The hospital doctor agreed.
as the other thirteen inmates of the
ward were nearly well.
A regimental piper was found to play
the bagpipes, and for long time he
paced the ward, playing tunes of the
home land. The next morning the
piper called at the hospital.
"Well, DOCTOR" he inquired, "how Is
my countryman this morning?"
every well indeed" replied the doc
tor. "He went to sleep after your en-
tertainment, smiling happily, and
awoke this morning a new man. He
will rapidly recover now"
"Goodp' said the piper. "Good!'
"But," added the medical man, "the
other thirteen patients are dead!'-

Musical Instrument Contest.

Some time ago we announced the
fact that the Catholics of this city
were to erect a new academy building
to accommodate the Sisters Of the
Immaculate Conception Academy.
Since that time plans have been
drawn up and the contract let for the
building. In such an undertaking it
will necessitate quite heavy ex-
pense, and to help swell the fund
necessary for the erection of the build
ing, q Musical instrument Contest has
been decided upon. Bricks will be
sold at 10 cents each to be donated to
the building aud each brick will en-
title the purchaser to vote for a
beautiful 1915 Grown piano. as first
prize; a $25 violin as second prize,
and a SIS mandolin as third prize.
These instruments are all high grade
and can be seen at the Marsh Music
House in this city any time.
This contest promises to be one of
the most interesting held here in
years, as great interest has already
itself and the hustling
for votes will soon be on in earn
est. to decide who the popular young
lady will be to secure that beautiful
new piano. Contest open to every
dody.

Senator Allison presided Friday at
meeting of the big appropriations
committee of the Senate which dis
cussed at length and then voted to re-
port favorably on the diplomatic and
consular bill which carries an appro-
priation of nearly $1,000 900. This
measure, which provides for the i'm
provement of the foreign service of
the United States, is one in which
President Roosevelt is greatly inter-
ested. The senate committee added to
the bill as it came from the house an
appropriation of 81, 800 for the inter
nation institute of agriculture, which
was urged by Secretary James Wilson
and the farmers of the country.

The farmer may be excused from
batting an eye when he's told about
the great increase in taxes paid by
the railroads of the state, saws the
Hopkinton Leader. When the farmer
examines his tax receipt he finds that
the state levy has not only been
doubled in the past few years, but
that the value of his land has also
been boosted. And 10000. 900 sur
plus has vanished under progressive
financing. The farmer knows who
pays the taxes, all right.
