Edna said, "Well, cut them, anyway,

Florence sat near the window watching
for polly. AS she flew in Florence cried:
"Oh, you dear polly; you've come

Polly sat on the arm of the chair
Florence sat on. She put her pretty

Now, dear, come into your nice cage"
Florence put polly in her cage. Polly

his beautiful parrot. The little boy
said, ST saw her eating bread and l

a strange bird in this town.
Then the boy said: IF this is your

took it home to her mother and said:
"This is our naughty parrot. 1t has

Tommy opened the package and
quickly discovered that 1t contained a
large rug. Tommy and Ethel clapped
their hands for joy. "What shall we
do with it?" asked Ethel. II know"
said Tommy for tomorrow morning Is
your mammals birthday"
The children had a great surprise.
Ethel and Tommy ran upstairs and put
the rug in front of the bed. They did
this while Ethels mamma was pick
ing flowers to give to some friends.
Mrs. Stoneman went upstairs to get
her cloak. When she came down Mrs.
Stoneman said: "Do you know any
thing about the rug?"
Listen, mother" said Ethel. II
found a bundle by the garden wall. I
called Tommy to come and open it.
Tommy did and found the rug and q
note on the side that said, Left by

"Thank you ever so much," said Mrs.
Stoneman.
"You are welcome" said the chill
dren, laughing gayly.

The rabbit and fox admired this
parrots feathers so they began chasing
for it, but the parrot flew away and
they never saw it again. 1t had flown
away to a pond where it saw its pic
ture in the waters and thought it was
another polly with wreath on tag
ging him, so down to the water she
goes. She came out drowning wet, her
feathers were not pretty any more.
This pond belonged to several little
girls who lived around 1t. Every day
they came down to have a swim in it.
When they came down they found
this parrot all so wet they then took
1t to their mother, who told them she
had seen an ad in the paper saying,
Lost, parrot. Please return to Flor
ence Winters, Maple street" So they
started to take it home, for it was not
so far away from their place. Florence
greeted them very kindly and was so
very glad to get her polly back.

Finally Ethel got the bundle open
and a small baby came into sight 1t

up it began to cry.
Ethel and Tommy ran into the house
with it. Tommy's mother asked:
(Which house does she belong to? Who
found her?"
Tommy said: ETHEL found it, so I
think Aunt Lulu owns it," but after
all he hated to give it up. 1T was
pretty little baby. Ethel called up her

was very surprised at seeing q baby,

found.
They decided on the name Virginia
for the little girl.
The next time Mr.. Stoneman saw

over the woods, until Sally flew out of

She saw Florence and her mother
looking for her. Florence saw Sally

Sally flew into it. She heard her moth

When they succeeded in opening the
bundle, to their astonishment out
rolled a box about six inches square
and balls and marbles and other such
things as boys and girls all delight in.
They tried to open the box, but they
found it locked. They hunted around
among the contents of the bundle and
found small key.
Tommy unlocked the box and sud-
denly exclaimed, "Oh, Ethel, look!"
She did look and found that it held
watches, lockets, rings and pins.
They called Mrs. Stoneman and she
said they must try and find the owner.
They put up a sign on the gate.
"Found-A bundle; owner will please
call and describe package. MRS.

One two, three and four weeks passed
without the owner appearing.
The weeks glided into months and
still no owner. 1t was put in the attic

About a year after this an old man
came to the door and asked for some

MINIMUM STATE TAX RATE.
New Tax Act Brings No Relief, and
Five Mills Will Be Levied.

New Tax Act Brings No Relief, and
Five Mills Will Be Levied.
Five mills, the maximum tax levy
allowed the state under the consti-
tuition, will be the state tax rate as
sessed for 1909 by the governor and
controller-general next week.
With the general tax act carrying
but few increases and the general
appropriation measure very heavy it
has been found necessary to put the
tax levy at the highest point allowed
in order to cope with the situation.
In speaking of this assessment
Controller-General Wright said:
I'VE will be forced to fix the rate
at five mills again. The general tax
act affords no relief. The increase
in the taxable values of the state
have not Oeen sufficient to warrant
any reductions, and in order to meet
the appropriations granted by the
general assembly it will be necessary
for the rate to be five mills. This
will be announced by the governor
and myself officially in a few days. -

NO" laughed the man who is en-

fure My word for that. 1t is my
business to study the trend of things
in the hair market of the Europe&Q

on fashion indications. Be sides,
just as soon as woman's hair begins
to recover from the horrible treat
ment it has received since the elab-
crate couture became popular, and
she feels that she can safely brush

quite young at that. Always it is
the SO, not the one woman, whom
hairdressers consider when original
ing or adopting styles.
Italy, Sicily, Bohemia and Russia
send us the most hair. We get some
from Denmark and Sweden and Ger
many; and of course it is the peas
ants on whom we have to depend.
At one time the poorer girls of Den
mark, finding they could get large
price for a fine head of hair, started
in so generously to shear themselves
that the male authorities passed a
law forbidding it, Now they must
content themselves with Singing
their hair as often as possible and
saving the combings, which the ped
dlers buy up almost as eargerly as
the long cut hair, for it takes all
kinds of hair to supply the worlds
market. Even the very shortest
bits, not an inch long, are utilized
in making the cushions or rats over
which the hair is mounted and most
of which have a backing or founda
ton of horsehair.
1T is the peddlers on whom the
trade mostly depends. These. men
scour the rural districts in the coun-
tries mentioned, penetrating to the
very poorest huts in search of fine
