to know that only little over twenty
years ago my uncle, a Judge in New

to the effect that 'in future singing
would not be taken as evidence" In his
court. 1t was the constant habit OF
the Maoris when pleading a cause to
sing long and quite poetic sagas. AS
these generally began with legends Of
their remote ancestors, sometimes
many hours, even days, would be spent

The Bennington Banner SAYS that
the trouble with many men who
acquire large fund of knowledge
on a certain subject is that they also
learn to be heroes about il. OF
course Editor Howe could not have
had the legislature and the taxation
question in mind when he penned the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Argus.
There is apparently an implied
question in the above, but inasmuch
as the original sentiment read
"bores" instead Of heroes" before it
was mangled by the Argus, it is i'm
possible for the Banner to furnish our
Montpelier contemporary any further
information; the two points of view
are too far apart.

that the year is new
And oil the errors that We have
Are lost in the hope OF the deeds
we'll do
With the strength OF faith and the
New Years aid.
Errors and failures, we knew them
Bury them deep with the dead
old year!
Waste not moment to toll their
knell;
Nineteen Nine aud it's hopes are
A year Of achievements all have
planned,
A year Of blessings and work to
do,
JOYFUL work for the eager hand
These we wish for ourselves and
you.
