His Majesty Has Nine Choices,

In choosing his title the new sultan
has nine recognized spellings of the
name of .'the prophet from which
to select. Mohammed Mahomet. Ma
homed, Multammad Mahmoud, Mehe-
met. Mehemmed, Mehemed and
Mehmed all refer to one and the same
historic character. Turkey has had
four sultans bearing the name Mo-
manned, one of them the conqueror
of Constantinople, and one Mahmoud.
The new sultan's suffix V indicates
that il he bows to simplified spelling
he still adheres to the traditions of the
great name of Mohammed.-Bost

POETRY.
WORDS.

The word that makes me lonesomest
Of All the words 1 know
Is moor. II makes me think or night
And weeds bent down with snow,
And low, dark clouds that do not hold
A single star for light,
ana not a sound that you can hear
But winds that cry all night
A very comfortable word
Is 'plenty"-it's so round
And fat and full and pantry-ish:
1t has a golden sound.
IL makes me think OF cookie Jars.
And fields OF yellow wheat,
And loaded vans and market days.
And all good things TO eat.
The word that sounds the happiest
Is Jingle" should say.
II Is rather finnish word.
But still it's very gay.
think II Is a children's word,
II isn't meant for age.
II always seems TO shout at me
From out printed page.
But oh. the sweetest word 1 know
The very coolest
Is soft" Just whisper u and see
IL you don't love IL bestl
A quiet. cuddly, snuggly word
That makes you want 10 creep
Up to the lounge in mothers room
And be sung on to sleep.

WHAT The PAPERS SAY.

There is a demand for two-cent
pieces, which have gone entirely out of
circulation, although there are still in
existence. ,634, 544 of
them which have not been returned to
the treasury. They disappeared be-
cause there was little use made Of
them. Now there is great need of
them to buy newspapers and postage
stamps, for which it is the clumsy
habit now-by necessity-to give a.
nickel and get three pennies In
change. Most civilized nations have
a twO-cent piece or something CORE
spending to Waterbury American.
This will be a good time for Mid
dletown to corral whatever she wants,
as she not only has a governor but
former governor to help to do it. So
far as Postmaster Allen is concerned
it is to his credit that the loss of the
postmastership was purely the result
of political manipulations and in no
way because of any inefficiency on his
part. And as for the automobile COM
mission it is to be hoped that it will
never be created until it is more need
ed than at present. 1t has been said
of it that it was proposed purely to
afford a means for paying political
debts and it looks as though that
might prove to be the case.-Ansonia

Concerning The Ipterurban Railway

The application for a franchise of
the Cincinnati Construction Co., back
ing the Madison-J anesville interurban
project, for right of way through
certain streets in Edgerton will come
up before the common council at its
first meeting in January, next Tuesday,
for action. The route which the COM
| pany asks for is along the main BUSH
ness street of Edgerton which has the
backing of quite large petition of
property owners asking that the coun-
Gil designate this route. Some prop
erty owners, however, object to the
line traversing the main business street
on account of its interruption to trade
which probably might have some force,
but the question of greater moment it
seems to US whether the city can afford
to have the line touch the town any
where but through its central portion
IT the convenience of people who ex-
poet to patronize the road are to be
considered It should be remembered
that the original plan of the engineer
was to only skirt the southern portion
of town with station south of the
railway tracks but at a request of many
citizens surveyed another route passing
directly along the main street touching
the Driving Park which is also desir-
able. It appeals strongly to US that if
Edgerton expects to derive any benefits
from the line it ought to strike an ac-
cessible and convenient point where
passengers can take and leave the cars.
Dom let US make the same mistake
Oconomowoc did when the Beggs line
from Waukesha to WatertoWn was pro-
| jected. The council thought their city
didn't want the line on its business
street and it was built to touch the
city on the Outskirts Now however
everybody realizes the folly. of the po-
sition and franchise is now being con-
sidered to grant the use of the main
| business street for the road.

What Some People Pay in Taxes.

What Some People Pay In Taxes.
Tax paying time being at hand, our
readers will doubtless be interested to
know what people in neighboring towns
are required to pay in comparison with
the rate in Edgerton. The following
figures have been CLEANED from our ex-
changes showing the amount of tax
levied on each 81, 900 of valuation: Ed
gerton, $17.50; GAINESVILLE, an average
of $3.50; Fort Atkinson, $3.50, and
$3.50 in sewerage district; White
water, 1920; Stoughton, $780, 20; Wat
erloo, $3.50; Lodi, S16.77. 1t will be
noted that Stoughton heads the list of
high taxes and in commenting upon the
high rate the Hub says: why there
should be decrease of S65, 900 in per-
sonal property in our city lover the as
sessment of '0D is past understanding =
1t is not so much to be wondered at
when the tax rate gets so near the 8
per cent. limit that people begin to
duck. A glance at these figures shows
that municipal extravaganza is running
