To Get Into Some of Them One Has TO
Use q Stepzdder.

Use q stePladder.
The European bed always strikes tho
uninitiated American traveller as
huge joke. In France they commence
to impress him with their height and
narrowness, and he looks obviously
at the enormous Turkey red cotton
sscouvre pied" OF eiderdown, which
seems something like mountain, and
he wonders how he is ever going to
bear ali that extra weight on his per-
son. But when he has slipped be
tween the sheets and the grateful
warmth communicates itself to his cold
bones-if it is winter they are sure to
be like icicIes-he discovers that it is
deceptively light and deliciously com
Portable.
In Switzerland the beds attain n
little more height but it is in Ger
many that they become Of such an
altitude as TO necessitate a pair or
steps to mount them. One tourist,
finding that one leg OF the stepladder
was broken, solved his difficulty BY
going TO the extreme end Of the room,
taking a running start and landing
with n flying leap in the midst OF the
Turkey red eiderdown. He crawied in
under the crocheted counterpart ana
was soon fast asleep. Some time In
the night he became sleepily aware OF
a consuming thirst and started TO get
out Of bed for drink. A startled

Sometimes in European hotels the
tourist is taken solemnly to one side
and told that by paying few francs
or lire more he can have the royal
bedchamber A certain hotel in Sor-
rento, where a dozen or more royal
heads have lain in onesseason, is even
more generous, for If the rooms are
empty they make no extra charge.
And the traveller loves TO recount when

NOT A TAXPAYER.
So County Commissioners Hold Gordon
A. observation-disclosures Regarding
Bernier License.

Following is an extract from the
statement of the commissioners Of
Windham county. filed with the clerk
OF the superior court by their attor-
neys in connection with the case of
Charles f. Searls, state attorney, VS.
the commissioners of Windham county
and growing out of the granting of two
licenses in Danielson after vacating an
appeal to the superior court against
their decision:
The commissioners stated to At
torney A. c.. Bill (attorney for @. A.
tombstone. Danielson; this on NoVem-
Der 23)s that they had discovered that
Gordon A. tombstone was not a tax
payer in K1llngly and that Mr.. Bill
stated that he had discovered this to
be true. and stated that he would see
that the costs were paid. Therefore,
the commissioners as a board there
upon considered the so-called appeal
to be void and forthwith proceeded to
actually issue the license to Amadee
Bernfer, believing that said board was
fully within It's rights and that the
said so-called appeal was void and
without effect and the commissioners
still continue in that belief that Cor
don A. tombstone Is not taxpayer in
the town of Kfllingly"
