THE PLAN THAT FAILED.


There once lived a happy family
Of mice in large old barn. They
were very happy, indeed, except
for one reason.
That wa sthe old cat. Whenever
They were enjoying themselves the
old cat would steal in upon them
and try to take their lives.
One day the mice held council
to see II they couldn't find a way
out of their difficulty.
The wise gray mouse thought OF
this plan:
Lets get bell and tie 1t
around the cats neck. Then when
ever she Is approaching we will
hear her and we can escape before
nhe catches us"
"Fine," they all agreed.
~Who will hang the bell around
1ler neck?" asked the gray mouse.
mot l, not l." each said in turn.
No one would undertake the task.
TO this day they have no plan
60 get rid Of the old cat.

Our Congressman and The Tariff on
Hides.


The Free Press prints IN another col
umn statement By Congressman D.
j. Foster and Congressman Frank Plume
ley with reference TO their position on
the question Of the tariff on hides in
response to letter OF inquiry written
by Ex-Governor j. Z. Barstow for pub
lioation in this journal a few days ago
Governor Harst0w took the position
that a duty on hides would benefit the
Vermont farmers The Vermont con-
gressmen say that inasmueh as calf
skins and other hides weighing less
than twenty-five pounds have been on
the free list for many years, a proyis
ion making on hides free would have
comparatively little influence on The
Vermont farmer except indirectly. 9th
ef considerations are also presented
which all our readers will desire to
peruse for themselves.
The statements made in this COM
munication by Congressman Foster
and Plumley serve to emphasize anew
the difficulty, already stated In these
columns attending any effort to fulfill
the promises made BY President TAFT
during his campaign for the presidency
regarding revision Of the tariff and
the satisfying 81 constituents with re-
ference to the product in which the
various states represented are respec
