Assessment Not Equitable.

Editor Review: Who Is the man
that fixes the valuation on st.
Johns property for taxation pur'
posesp Now for instance in 1906
my house in which | live was not
painted when the assessor came
around and IL was assessed SIoo
for improvements, but before he
made his rounds in 1907 | had my
house painted up at cost Of about
$40 aud he assessed il at 5000 thus
doubling my taxes on improve
ments just because | had my house
painted. don't believe IL pays to
paint your house. Again for 1907
lots II aud ~ in block ", Point
view were assessed at 1900 with no
improvements, which is at least
500 more than they would ever
have brought when prices were
the highest, while lots 50, 81, IS
aud 90, block 10, Poin,view, with
improvements was only assessed
at $500. The latter property
would bring $1,000 more readily
than the former would $500, These
are only three cases but could be
multiplied many times, Is not St.

The New Directory.

There never was directory
printed that ever we heard of that
did not have errors in it some
where. We think il is a physical
impossibility. We checked this
matter over as carefully as we
could and strange as it may seem
to some people who have never
had more than one thing to think
OF at a time we have overlooked
the names of some we are familiar
with. BY reference to the last two
leaves of the book ii will be seen
that we were able to make some
corrections before it was completed.
Now, the best that we can do is
to have every one report to this
office any name we have not been
able to secure that should show in
the book aud any correction that
should be made. These we will
print in the Review and they can
be cut out and placed in the direc-
tory. We will be glad to do this,
so, instead of pouting because your
name was left out please come in
and tell us. We have learned a
great deal more than we knew
about the directory business when
we began the work and next year
we shall be able to benefit by our
experience. The binding Of the
directory was done by Lovejoy &
Lincoln of Portland and is a neat,
tasty job.
Any omissions or mistakes that
occur therein should be charged to
J. A. Caldwell, who made the can
vass. Next year a thoroughly ex-
perienced canvasser will be placed
in the field, and any mistakes that
occur now will be corrected then.

A man with wooden leg stuck
the artificial member into a con-
cealed bear trap recently near Les
ter, Wash, and nearly froze to
death before being found and re-
leased. He should congratulate
himself that it was not the other
leg that got caught, or he might be
wearing two wooden legs instead
of one.

es of red raspberries. "It's your
grandma IS surprise for supper" he
whispered. "The raspberries are the
first we've picked this year. Put the
cream down in the cellar right away"
Marion danced off to do his bid
ding, though she could hardly keep
from whispering the secret to NAM
ma.
At FIVE o'clock grandma arose.
"Well, I guess I'll go in and get sup
per. Marion has done about enough
for one day." she said quietly.
"Oh, no, indeed, grandma! I can
help" Marion sprang up with mer-
ny twinkle in her eyes.
But her mother caught her hand
and held it fast "Grandpa, she
said huskily, "what do you think of
a little girl who gave up the Sunday
school picnic that she had been look
ing forward to for weeks in order to
take care Of her sick mother, brother,
and sister, and has worked hard all
this hot day bravely and cheerfully,
without word Of complaint?"
Marion put one hand over her moth
er's mouth. ooh, mamma, I cried
at frst!" she said contritely.
"Don't blame ye," grandpa put in.
Grandma Davis was standing near
the back door. IT think I remember
a little girl once, many years ago,
who did something like that" she
said softly, and there were tears in
her eyes.

Grandpa Davis was always practical
-" we've got to do something for
these children. Here's Billy Boy been
suffering with that old toothache and
Marion had to give up her picnic.

ers. She offered to stay at home with
me todayl" Marion exclaimed de-
lightedly.
"Sure! Bring 'em ALL" grandpa
agreed.
Never was there such a super as
that which grandma had ready when
they went in. Not since her father s
death had Marion seen her mother so
cheerful and bright. And never did
Marion feel any happier than when
she got into bed that night; for the
sweetest of all joys is that which
grows out of self-sacrifce.- Child

The barge will start in FIVE minutes!"
Ethel Saunders darted into the
Lindsays' cottage, carefully hugging
a basket which contained sandwiches,
cake, cookies, bananas, and, in fact,
everything necessary for a delicious
luncheon.
MAR
Ethel stopped at the foot Of the
stairs, the word broken off short in
her throat by the sight Of Marion
coming down in the dark-blue cotton
frock and the big apron which she al
ways wore when helping her mother
with the homework.
"Why, Marion Lindsay, ou're not
dressed!' she gasped. "Oh, hurry,
or ell be late!"
"I'm not going, Ethel"
"Not going? Not going to the Sun
day school picnic7" Ethel could
hardly believe her ears.
Not going7 Marion's lips quivered
a little in spite Of all she could do to
keep them steady. "Mamma has one
of her headaches. She can hardly lift
her head from the pillow. And baby
cried nearly all night. I suppose it
was the heat. And Willie's tooth
ache is worse; his face is all swollen
this morning."
Ethel's eyes widened in dismay at
this list of woes. "I'll stay-at home
with you-if you like" she brought
out with brave self-sacrifce.
"Indeed you won't!" Marion al
most pushed her outside the door for
fear she would seriously think Of such
a thing. "You can tell me all about
it afterward," she called out cheer
fully as her friend, with a very dis
appointed face, hurried away.
But when Ethel was out Of sight
Marion ran to the back Of the house
and, sinking down under shelter Of a
dense vine on the back piazza, shed
some very sorrowful tears into her
apron. For weeks and weeks she had
looked forward to the Sunday school
picnic. Inside, on the kitchen table,
were the hard-boiled eggs for sand
wiches, the cake, and bananas, all
ready for the luncheon she was to
have taken, and now
"A faint moan coming through the
open window from where poor little
six-year-old Willie sat nursing his
swollen face reached her.
~ ought to be ashamed, crying
here when I'm not in pain," Marion
thought as she rose quickly and hur-
ried into the kitchen to wash away the
traces Of tears.
1t took only a moment to fill the
hot water bottle and get Willie to lie
down on the couch in the sitting room
with the soothing heat against his
face. Then she stole up to her moth
er's room. Mrs. Lindsay was trying
to sit up in bed, one hand supporting
her aching head.

THE PETTIGREW DISPATCH.

"A u4SpdCCH Says GHdC EX-OcnaLOr
Pettigrew of South Dakota while
travelling with W. J. Bryan in that
state Monday of this week, publicly
announced that in 1904 he had been
approached by a representative of
the Republican national committee
and offered $4,000 dollars If he
would make ten speeches for Watson.
He says he wrote a letter asking
twenty thousand dollars and the COM
mittee refused to give it. All of
which goes to show that Pettigrew
tried to pull the Republican leg for
twenty thousand and failed. His
alleged talk about an offer having
been made him he could easily fabri-
cate, but his letter is in cold black
and white and we presume he is afraid
it will be published on him and he is
burning the grass between him and
exposure. All the Western Populist
states went back to the Republicans
when the people quit voting the Popu-
list ticket. What would the Republi-
cans want them to vote the Populist
ticket for? The Populists carried
Kansas and Nebraska and North Da-
kota and elected a u IS. Senator in
South Dakota. Then when the Demo-
Gratis scattered the People party to
the four winds those states went Re
publican by stupendous majorities.
The last thing the Republicans want
to see is a Populist revival in those
states. No wonder they turned down
Pettigrew's offer
It is we'll known that in 1904 Jim
Ferriss the Populist national chair
man, advanced money for campaign
expenses and never got all of it back.
The entire expenses Of the Populist
national committee were less than
four thousand dollars and this was
collected in dribs from Populists, ex-
cept about five hundred dollars which
Ferriss advanced and has never been
repaid. This year the Populist
national committee hasn't enough
money to keep open headquarters,
even though it might be done for
500 month. Only yesterday the
editor Of the World got a letter
urging him, as Secretary Of the
national committee, to remove the
Populist national headquarters from
st. Louis to Chillicothe, but to do so
he would have to go down in his own
pocket, and hire an editor to run the
World. In my thirty years as editor
and committeeman in the reform
party I have never known Of dollar
of old party money to be used by
Populists. If anything of the kind
has been done it has been by indi-
viduals on their own responsibility
and kept very secret. Of course i'll
1896 when the Populists fused on
Bryan there was considerable fund,
furnished mostly by Democrats, but
even then this editor didn't see
dollar of it nor did he want to.

MAJ" Marion asked
"Only to be hemmed up around the
bottom. Maybe [ could do it it,
Mrs. Lindsay pressed one hand to
her temples, which the effort of speech
had set throbbing afresh.
"Indeed you won't do anything of
the kind!" Marion laid her mother
gently back on the pillow, smoothing
the hair away from her forehead with
soft, cool fingers. "You know I can
hem very neatly, mamma, for you
taught me yourself; and if I take
plenty of time and very small stitches,
I'm sure I can do it all right"
Mrs. Lindsay's lip quivered as she
put up one hand and held that of her
thirteen-year-old daughter against her
cheek. "Mother's blessing" she said
softly.
Having seen that the baby was
sleeping quietly after her wakeful
night, Marion closed her mothers
door and stole downstairs. Tying on
very clean apron, she brought Miss
Dean s waist and her mothers basket
from a closet, and sat down to work.
1t took her over an hour to finish the
waist, she was so careful to take short
stitches. Then she folded it up care
fully, all ready for Miss Dean when
she called.
There were several other customers
to be seen during the forenoon, and
this, with the homework, kept her
busy until dinner time When she
had dressed the baby and brought the
little thirteen-months-old girl down
stairs looking very sweet and pretty
and changed her own frock, she began
to feel very tired. But just then there
was sound of wheels, and who
should drive into the yard but Grand
ma and Grandpa Davis?
Now, Grandpa Davis usually drove
IN from the farm about once week,
bringing butter, vegetables and fruit
to his daughter and her three chill
dren; but grandma did not come so
often, and when she did it was always
cause for great rejoicing So Marion
called out delightfully."-: "Here are
grandpa and grandma" And Will
lie, whose face was too swollen to
admit of calling anything, ran out to
show grandma how bad it was and
get all the sympathy he could; while
the baby pounded the sides of her
carriage, crying, &c AN ma !" at the
top of her feeble voice.
Mrs. Lindsay, who had had long
nap-the only thing which did her
any good when she had one Of these
attacks-came downstairs feeling bet
ter; and they all sat out on the back
piazza, where it was cool and shady.
Grandma cuddled poor little Willie up
IN her comfortable lap, where he cried
little more-but not "painy" tears
now, as he told her, for the tooth
ache was better.

workers of Beldens were trying to intro
duce what some call the European Sab
bath, though we have some rather rank
Sabbaths that are homemade, last Sun
day.several heads were. made sore. At
the house where the Bungarians live a
small row, which, accentuated by a
great deal of hot blood and poor whiskey,
raised a great commotion, and for time
the Goths, Vandals aud Huns were out
in full panoply of war. One woman was
well pounded, and man was slashed
with a knife, besides numerous smaller
happenings, such as kicks in the face,
etc. The Reldens giant, who is famous
before the people, not on account of his
courage, but simply because he is big
and obtrusive, got nicely knocked out by
much smaller man. Half dozen of
the other contestants received souvenirs
in the shape of hattened noses and shad-
owed eyes.

innovation Will Be Introduced at
Addison County Fair. M

when the horses come down from the
word "go" in all the races to be held at
the Addison County fair at Middlebury
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri,
day, Aug. 25, 26, 81 and 2S, there will
be spectacle in color never seen before
on any fair ground in Vermont.
The association has provided itself with
handsome coats and caps for the drivers.
No two coats are alike and this applies
to the caps. These coats are of the finest
satin and of the gayest colors. The caps
match. Drivers will wear the numbers
that correspond to the numbers opposite
the names OF the horses as printed IN the
score cards, but instead of wearing one
number on the arm, each arm will have
number. This will make it much
easier for the spectator to pick out the
horses and their drivers.
The picture will resemble the one seen
at the big running race parks and will
be one new and novel to Vermont.
On Friday, Aug. %, the 1000 free.
for all will take place. This is the larg-
est purse ever offered in Vermont for a
free-for-all race and is sure to attract the
widest attention.
The grand stand is provided with num-
Dered reserved seats and these NAV be
secured any time in advance by writing
to G. /. Button, Middlebury, VT.
