q PEAKAGOOD WORD

III -
country whenever an
opportunity presents itself.
More towns die for want of
confidence, on the part of
business men, and public spi-
rit, than from rivalry of neigh
boring towns or adverse sur
roundings. When a man is
in search of a home or busi-
ness location, and goes to a
town and finds everything
brim full Of hope and enthu-
siam over prospects of the
place, and earnestly at work
to build up the town, he soon
becomes imbued with the
same spirit, and as a result,
he drives down his stake and
goes to work with the same
interest. When, however, he
goes to a town and everyone
expresses doubt aud apprehen-
sion in the future prospects Of
the place, musing about and
indulging in mourning, COM
planning about imaginable
evils which are likely to be-
fall the town, he naturally
feels that it is not the place
for him; and at onco shakes
the dust from his feet, while
he pulls with all possible
speed f)r some other town.
Consequently, try and make
live enterprising, progress
i've town out of the one in
which you live, and remem-
Der that when you are work
ing for or saying a good word
for your town, you are accom-
plishing all the more for your
self. Then speak a good
word for your town.

Attorneys Unpopular In England.

Daniel O'COnnell had favor
ite story OF one Parsons, an Irish
barr1ster, who hated the whole
tribe of attorneys, and one day
was approached in the lobby OF
the Four Courts by an attorney
who was soliciting shilling sub
scriptions to pay the burial fee OF
an attorney who had died in
poverty. Parsons offered the
gentleman pound note. 90 Mr.
Parsons" said the applicant, q
do not want so much. | only ask
a shilling from each contributor.
| have limited myself to that,
and cannot really take more"
"Oh, take it, take it," said
Parsons blandly. For Cod S
sake, my good sir, take the pound
and while you are about it, bury
twenty of them" "
Foote, the humorist, was once
buttonholed by a country gent
leman who complained bitterly
of the heavy cost of burying a
relative who was an attorney.
why, do you bury attorneys
here?" asked Foote gravely.
ayes, to be sure, how else?"
ooh, we never do that in Lon
DON"
"No?" exclaimed the amazed
squire. Glow do. you manage,
them"
"Why, when an attorney hap
pens to die, we lay him out in a
room by himself, throw open the
windows, lock the door, and in
the morning he is entirely off "
Indeed! and what becomes OF
him."
"Whv, that we cannot exactly
tell. not being acquainted with
supernatural causes. All that we
know of the matter is that there

Zone warm February morning

7HE SUPREME COURT
~ of the United States has

" of the United States has
reelected the income tax
case on corporations. This
tax will aggregate about S25,-
600, 900 of revenue annually
for the Government, which ur-
gently needs increased reven-
ues. The case now goes over
until October. This little de-
Law is the initial disappoint-
ment in this matter, which is
to pave the way for great dis
appointment yet to come,
when that August court de-
cides the tax unconstitutional
as is most likely. Congress
can levy all the taxes it wants
on the poor people, by taxing
their needs, such as hosiery,
gloves, dress goods and etc ,
but let congress lay its gentle
hands, howeverlig on the
great corporations, and the
federal courts snaps the law
into shreds, as if it were cob
web.

The Legislature.

We are not in full accord with some
of the Vermont newspapers which have
been SO insistent that the legislature
adjourn and get home We believe a
large majority of the members Of the
legislature would be very glad to get
home and attend to their private bus
mess, that it would be distinct fnan-
eial advantage for them to do 50. This
belief conyinces us that the members
are acting from sense Of duty in re-
manning at the capital. Therefore the
men who are making these personal
sacrifices should have the sympathy
rather than the jibbing Of the states
leading newspapers.
We do regret, however, that it is nee
essary to prolong the present session
any further Three months seems like
ample time for the committees to give
full consideration to the matters before
them and to enable the average mem
Der to decide how he is to vote on all
Of the important measures, If they have
made up their minds it should be short
work to finish the business before that
