The 3-MilI Tax.

The manning times would remove the
constitutional 3-mill tag law from the
statute book. The times thinks that II
the 3-mlll tax were removed that then
each district would make a just and
SQUARE return of its property. Make a
canvass of the funds necessary to run the
schools nine months and vote the neces-
sary tax.
There is no doubt but that the 3-mill
tax is, in every instance, insufficient TO
raise funds enough to run any OF our
schools for nine months. Whether or not
it would be a good plan to do away with 1t
is a question. Some communities vote
whatever additional tax is necessary 10
run the schools nine months already.
Some communities will vote not one cent
more than they can get around voting.
They make the 3-mill tax answer for all
achool rpos If it is sufficient to run
the schools nine months, we'll and good,
if it is sufficient to RIM the school for only
six months why then they will let it rest
at that.

s-mill constitutional tax from such a
community. The result would be that
they would in many instance, have no
schools at all. We should certainly hold
to what we have.
Instead Of removing the constitutional
3-mill tax it we're better to double it and
make it 6-mills. This would in most in
stances preclude the necessity OF certain
communities voting special taxes OF 2. 8,
and 4 mills, to supplement the constitu-
tional 3-mil tax and at the same time it
would lengthen the terms of other schools
which for various reasons refuse to vote a
special tax or supplement the constitu-
tional 3-mills tax by private contribution.
The times is correct in its position that
something should be done to lengthen
the terms of our country schools and it
seems to us that the best, qui ckest and
safest way is to double the constitutional
provision.

PIONEER AMERICAN Linen
MILLS BRANCHING OUT.

HUGE Plant Now Planned Made Nsess-
sary by One Years Development Of
New Industry.
Impressive evidence Of the progress
Of the pioneer American Linen mills
established at North Brook6eld, Mass,
about q year ago L. found In the plans
Just completed for extending the plant.
Beginning with limited capacity in a
mill that had to be adapted by degrees
to the requirements Of the Oxford Linen
mills, the business has grown to such
an extent that plans have been drawn
for half a dozen new buildings, all
larger than the present main mill.
The plans call for an addition dou-
bic the size Of the present main mill,
a new stock, storage and shipping
building, weave shed, "oxolint' fac
tory, bleach house and fiber preparing
house. The two latter buildings will
be in the center Of a quadrangle FORM
ed by the other buildings mentioned.
All the buildings will be Of re-en-
forced concrete. The new weave shed
Is to be a two story building. provided
with overhead lighting by means Of a
saw tooth roof containing 375 sky
lights. The power plant will be To-
Gated well away from the mill building
proper, all the machinery In which
will be, electrically operated. A stock
issue of about $185,0OO made In con-
nection with the beginning Of these
extensions was all taken within a
week, largely by original shareholders
In the mills.
The Oxford mill was the first es-
tablishment In the United States to
undertake the manufacture Of linen
products from fiber prepared by the
Nudge process. This accomplishes In
a few hours the work that abroad re-
quires many weeks. Judging from
the extensions to be carried out by the
Oxford mills, there seems to be no
further reason to question the I'm
mense success Of the undertaking.

where DID CASTRO GET IT7

Monopolies and Foreign Interests tho
Sources of the Venezuelan Prosi-
dents European Bank Deposits.
Estimates Of the amount Of money
that President Castro Of Venezuela
thriftily deposited in Europe prior to
his flight vary all the way from $10,-
100000 to s%6O,0OO,O00. Where did he
get it? is the natural question. Most
of his wealth has come from monopo-
lies out Of which he has received the
lions share. The latest and one Of
the most ingenious Of these monopo-
lies was the sole right to butcher cat
tie. This was said to produce q net
income Of $4,000 a day, as thf,|cattle
raisers were forced to sell their AMI
mails for almost nothing In the absence
Of competition.
Foreigners Of all nations, as we'll as
the Venezuelans, have contributed to
Castro's European bank deposits.
After four years Of exploitation the
receiver" Of the New York andPermu-
dez company's asphalt property turned
into the Venezuelan treasury only s.
900 as the net proceeds Of four years
sales, amounting to about half a NIL
lion dollars at the mine. All but S.
600 Of this sum, the receiver stated
was absorbed by Expenses and i'm
provements." The receiver neglect
ed to mention the profits derived from
the sale Of the asphalt here. Added to
the half million dollars charged to Tex
psnses and improvements" the profits
made on the sale Of refined asphalt
make an enormous sum, which has
been divided between Castro and his
American business associates.
But the cattle and asphalt CRAFTS are
only samples of the sources from
which Castro has enriched himself at
the expense Of his own people and for
eign interests III Venezuela

TWO "spooKY" STORIES.
4 Crash That Broke Nothing and q
Vanished Dinner. B.

4 Crash That BROKE Ano
Vanished Dinner.
When Spiritualism Was comparatively
new and we were youngsters, we used to
hear delightful spooky stories about N.Y.
ferrous actions Of furniture and things
which one never seems to hear nowadays.
I remember one about some people who
had guests invited to a grand dinner. The
table was spread with all the dishes, but
the meal had not yet been served. Thu
family had q great store Of beautiful glass
and china, and it was all on the table.
For a moment the servants were all out Of
the dining room, and Just at that moment
all the people in the rest Of the house
heard a deafening crash Of falling dishes.
From the dining room there came the
sound Of glassware precipitated upon the
floor and crushing into fragments, and In
the midst Of the roar Of this wreck there
rose to the terrified ears Of the host and
hostess the high, clear note Of the maah-
ing Of much thin china.
Everybody in the house-family, guests,
servants-rushed to the dining room door
ut the same moment, expecting to see
nothing less than the table overthrown
and every precious dish on it broken. And
what did they beholdP The table ret In
perfect order, with not q thing on II dis.
turbed. What had made the awful crashi
Nobody ever knew. Not o dish was even
nicked In that house that day. The spirits,
% the story ran to Us, had just made .
terrible ghostly crash for the fun Of 1t and
the alarm Of the household.
I remember that this story Impressed
me q great deal more than it would havs
found smashed, though 1t could have been
proved that no human being had been In
the room at the time. I had never before
heard Of q ghost that wa q crash and
nothing more. I fancy the astonishment
Of those alleged people was not greater
than that Of q friend Of mine over an cpl
sode not at all similar. This gentlemAn's
wife and daughter were out shopping ons
afternoon, and he reached home ahead d
them. So far from feeling grieyed and
outraged at not finding them there ID
make him welcome, he set to work pleas
antly to give them a surprise by getting
them their supper. He hadn't much In
,the house, but he set out what he had and
placed on each Of three plates q nice lot Of
sardines and then went out to make them
tea. He got 1t made and came back and
looked at his table in astonishment. Hi
supper wa gonel The plates were there
just where he had placed them, but they
were a. clean as when he put them on.
He knew that there was not another hu,
man being In the house. What sprate had
waited away those sardinesf
This L. a true story. There was NOT an
other human being In the house, but tbs
gentleman owned two delightful oooke
spaniels, and they were in the house. Whs
can doubt that, as they licked the plates
which had contained the sardines, they
had said to themselves: "Go to. We viii

MANY Of the prominent men Of the

paratiyely humble calling Of the tele-
graph OPERATOR" says Leslie's Weekly.
Zone Of the most successful Of these Is
Patrick Bernard Delany Of New York,
whose inventions In improving teleg-
raphy have attracted worldwide atten.
ton Born In Ireland, Mr.. Delany was
brought to this country when a lad, be-
came an excellent telegraph operator at
the age Of sixteen and at eighteen was
one Of the most expert press operators
In the land. Afterward he rose to high
positions In various telegraph compa-
niles and later was associated with
Mr.. Edison in rapid telegraphy exper-
iInents and began his work as an In
ventor. He devised the famous anti
Page relay for which he received q
considerable sum-, and invented h
anti-induction cable. the patents OF
which netted him over 100000.
Turning his attention to synchro-
nous multiplex telegraphy, he perfect
ed a system whereby six Morse cir
cults were obtained from a single
wire and was awarded for It the
highest prize at the International In
ventions exhibition in London In 1885.
Mr.. Delany twenty-one years ago
equipped a laboratory at South Or
auge, N. j.. and devoted his time to
automatic rapid telegraphy. in which
he has had great success, his appara-
tus transmitting a thousand words a
