plant to keep religiously as long as
1t lasted. The mistletoe sprig was
supposed to give power to perceive
witches and evildoers and insured
prosperity; to those whom the Druids
disliked or wished harm, they re
fused the mistletoe sprig. No one
could poison the holder of a piece of
mistletoe. for the sprig would dis
cover poison, no matter how cunning
ly administered. and save the owner
from al harm. To childless folk
the mistletoe brought offspring, to
the sick health. In fact. it was the
symbol Of health, wealth and pros
perity: and the house that sports a
branch of mistletoe at Christmas will
never be unlucky.
In some parts of England it is be-
lieved that unless every bit of holly
be removed from the house by
Twelfth night some Ill luck will
come.

Farmer May Have Cattle Disease.

John Walk. a young farmer living
at Hobbie. near Hazleton. Pa. is be
leved to be suffering from the hoOt
and mouth disease which recently was
epidemic among the cattle Of this and
other states.
How or where the young man con
tracted the disease Is not known. The
roof 60 his mouth is badly eaten. just
the same as in the case Of cattle.
while the jaw is also badly broken
out. resembling that Of an ugly rash.
His feet have also become affected by
the disease.
The physicians in attendance have
as yet declined to make any definite
statement a. to whether the ailme7t
is that which caused such hay" C
among live stock Human beings are
susceptible to the disease. but the
cases are rare.
Milford chronicle., 1909-02-05

this nature which would comply
with the constitutional require
ments' but we do know that the
Adams law while it was in force,
uncovered considerable wealth
which had been practically hidden
from the tax gatherers.
AS we have said the whole ques-
ton is the most complicated one
in our State or City Government.
The taxation commission cannot
move in any direction without en-
countering opposition. However,
it is only fair to keep in mind the
general principle of taxing wealth
according to the privilege it enjoys
No citizen should object to paying
his fair proportion Of taxes. A cit
izen who does not pay his fair rate
of taxation is shifting his burden
upon his fellow citizen. He is work
ing ethically and morally an injus-
dce and though he may resist and
avoid taxation he can furnish no
valid reason for his attitude.
