HypOcritical Charity.

There goes the venerable John
Smith," said l as weakened indi-
vidual passed our window. IF ever
hypocrite walked the earth, I'M
challenged, there's your man. Abund-.
antly blessed with this worlds chat
tells, he extracts the last penny from
his tenants, brooks no excuse, in fair
weather or foul, and, to set his mis-
erly soul right with the Lord, an
nually contributes veritable wild
ow's mite to the church box
with one hand he put penny
in the urn of poverty, and with the
other, took shilling OUT" quoted
Sue, lightly. But, seriously" she cou-
tinued, (for Sue loves to founder
about in waters that are threatening
her head and to make feeble strokes
here and there, hoping to sight
green spot but getting nowhere des-
pite her efforts) lit seems to me that
a goodly share of our charities are
inconsistent and that our contribu.
tons toward the health, wealth, o.;
happiness of our fellow beings are
vastly unproportionate, in many cas-
es, to the benefits we extract from
other people for the nourishment of
our personal well-being Let not thy
left hand know what thy right hand
doeth Some of us choose to misin-
terpret that message though it has
but one construction for him who
will see it, There are those of us
who work good with our right hand
and evil with our left, slyly con-
cealing the treachery from other than
our own selves as long as we are
permitted. We perform virtuous acts
for a neighbours accommodation, with
our right hand and smite our family
with the left. We like to pour riches
from one hand into the laps of the
poor, whether those riches are of gold
or happiness, or encouragement,
solace, or those other qualities of the
soul, while, with the other hand, We
grab everything in sight and rob
and pillage and steal that which is
not our rightfully, and which our
distorted vision accounts profitable to
our personal interests.
IF the right hand worketh in one
direction, and the left, in the oppo-
site, what twisted, contorted shell
the body will become dwarfted and
stunted into a semblance of anything
but normal, healthy, usefulness.
"A dear little woman / know, with
rose blown cheeks and silvery hair,
has that message by heart. She is
blessed with means and no man, or
woman, or child enters her circle
and departs, without having become
the better for her and yet, her sup
posed friends criticize her sting
mess"
vanity is more or less common
failing and it is very human that we
should feel the desire to let the
whole world see what we do with
that right hand of ours, but, l
wonder, would be also willing that
the deeds of our left hand be under
stood as perfectly, motives and all ?
True charity gives according to its
means, bestows upon others that
which it can bequeath sensibly, with
out bringing into suffering, some other
person whom it has disregarded. The
left hand and the right hand are
messengers of a one-purposed SOU
and there is no conflict, the results
of which might verify the rumors OF
hypocricy charged up against the
man whose acts belle each other.

New York Times.)
That is your father, dear,
Just going out the door;
Oh, he's been living here
For seven years or more!
In business he's so deep
He has no time to fret
With little girls, but keep
Up hopes-we'll meet him yet.
That is your mother, dear,
Just getting in the car,
She knows that you are here,
And also who you are!
But what with clubs to meet
And bridge to play, you see,
With hours SO short and fleet
She's turned you over to me.
But there, my dear, don't fret,
Or let those blue eyes blur,
Some time l know you'll get
Acquainted. too, with her.
When angels vigil keep
She asks if you're all right
And when you went to sleep!
l think you'd like them both,
think they'd both like you
But what with higher growth"
And many things to do
They're simply rushed to death.
But there, my dear, don't cry,
If they should stop for breath
Well meet them by and by.

NO TAXATION EXEMPTION.
EnOsburg Falls Milk Company Re.
fused This Favor at Village Meet

Enosburg Falls, Dec. 2O.-At IA
special village meeting held this az
ternoon a resolution providing for
the exemption of the Enosburg Falls
Milk Company from taxation for a
period of nine years beginning Sept
IL last, was rejected by vote of 127
to 49,
Many reasons are advanced for this
action but the principal cause was
probably the recent experience in
which so many farmers and Others
were heavy losers, when the Federal
Packing Company which opened its
plant here in September, 1908, being
exempted from taxation for a term
of years, closed its factory February
10, 1909, having become insolvent.

EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS

The regular semi annual examina tion of teachers will be held during the week beginning Sept. 13, 1909, at the office of the County Board of Ed ucation, beginning at 10 o'clock a. m. Those persons desiring certificates upon credentials will save much an noyance to themselves by making ap- plication as early as possible-as no person is eligible to teach in the county, or draw payment therefor, un- less he is the possessor of a proper certificate.
 Normal graduates desiring certifi- cates will please remember that un- der recent enactment of the legis- lature, they have to pay fee of $2.00 for said certificate as well as other less fortunate teachers.

DAIRY EXPANSION

It is estimated that withlng the past year fully 1000 high grade milk COWS have been added to the dairy interests of Imperial Valley. A large number of these cows have been tested for both quality and quantity of milk be- fore they were shipped to the valley, and at the same time many valley dairymen have been testing their herds already here, dlsposlng of the poorer animals and replacing them with better grades. As result, and also as result of the general adop- tion of better sanitation, the butter production is said to be fully fifty per cent better than that of a year ago, and is maintained at an average quail ity that before was impossible.
