Just the Hired Girl.

We heard just such an expression
the other day from a person. Just
the hired girl" She goes and enters
from the kitchen door, she does not
get seat in the parlor, or a chance
at the table with the rest of the folks.
She is treated just a little inferior,
but occasionally hired girl rises and
becomes a guest in the parlor. For
instance, a good many years ago a
hired girl was employed in north
west Iowa by family who treated
her kindly, and just year or so ago
this family went west for visit and
were entertained at the governor
home Of one of the large western
states. Their hostess was the wife
of the governor and she was the
hired girl in that family years before
in northwest Iowa. She had married
poor but hard working young man,
and he had pulled himself together
until by sheer force and ability he
had reached the governors office
Things had changed in that hired
girls career, but the fact remained
that she had once been a "hired
girl"

METROPOLIS OF CANADA
Newspaper Makers Visit the Great
City of Montreal.
"TRIP TO MONTMORENCY FALLS
Description of Visit to Wonderful
Falls, $50 Feet Higher Than
Niagara, and the City of
Montreal.

On the way from Quebec to Ste
Anne de Beaupre, the newspaper
men got a glimpse of the wonderful
Montmorency Falls, and were told
that we would stop there for lunch
on the return trip. The sight OF
Nontmorency Falls was an extraor.
binary surprise and delight for the
party, as few of us realized that We
were to see these falls, where the
Montmorency river, after passing
over a number of small cascades
makes a sheer plunge, in a mad
headlong rush down the precipice OF
two hundred and seventy feet, one
hundred and fifty feet further than
the fall of Niagara Falls. While OF
course the falls are very much mar
rover than Niagara, yet their great
height makes them one of the natur-
al wonders of the world.
Close by the falls is Kent House
up to which we were taken in an
elevator, distance of 276 feet from
the foot of the falls. 1t is uncom-
parably beautiful in its surround
ings, and was formerly the home oil
the Duke of Kent, the grandfather
of Queen Victoria. It's colonial
style of architecture, its command
ing location overlooking the falls,
and its historical significance makes
it a very popular place for tourists.
Here we were rendered a luncheon,
on the broad veranda overlooking
the falls, which was followed with
the usual speech-making, after
which we again boarded our cars and
made a winding trip back to Quebec.
We then took a ride about the city to
see its numerous points of interest,
and after dinner at the Chateau
Frontenac ferried across the river
to Lewis, and soon crawled into our
berths, awakening in the morning at
Montreal, where We spent another
eventful day, seeing the many inter-
esting points of this great Canadian
metropolis, including visit to the
famous Chateau de RameZay, built
in 1905 by Sir Claude de Ramazay,
a French courier and one of the
early governors of Montreal, now a

museum, filled with relics of the his
toric past of Montreal and eastern
Canada.
About noon a committee escorted
us in carriages through the city and
up the beautiful drive to the summit
of Mount Royal, where in the pavil-
ion We were given sumptuous ban
quet, after which the officials and
newspaper men of Montreal exchang-
ed the usual post-prandial courtesies.
Montreal, the metropolis of the
dominion of Canada, is one of the
most beautiful and attractive cities
in the world, and the stranger who
visits it will find there what he will
find nowhere else in America in such
marked contrast. He will find the
luxury and glitter of the twentieth
century set off by the picturesque
LONELINESS of a by-gone age. He
will find the wealthy merchant
shoulder TO shoulder with the simple
old habitant, the defendant and i'm
age of the old Indian fighters and
coureurs DIES bois. On one hand, he
will hear the keen American accent
of modern trade; on the other, he
will hear the patois of the Normandy
of the middle ages. The superb
buildings of banks, railway, steam
ship and insurance companies, of
stock and grain exchanges, rise with
in pistol shot of quaint old gray
churches, in which, long ago, tremb-
ling prayers assembled while blood
thirsty savages whooped without. In
the streets at any moment you may
encounter hooded and sandaled
friars, for in Montreal meet and min
gle the waves of old and new eras
of civilization. Built on the broad

Sherbrooke street, skirting the base
of Mount Royal, is one of the most
beautiful avenues in the world. When
the touch of autumn turns the
naples to gold, amber and red, the
city and the mountain look like a
fairy picture. In midsummer thou
sands of the well-to-do emigrate to
scores of pretty country resorts lying
adjacent to the city. The visitor who
makes a stay of more than two days
in the city, is sure to taste the pleas
ures OF these river and lakeside re-
sorts: for there are never-ending en-
tertainments, and the business men,
who come into town in the morning
and go out to the country at night,
are very open-hearted in their hospi-
tally.
The city lies in a very net work of
waters. Situated on an island, a
very large one it is true, but only
one of many, there is water north,
south, east and west The st. Lawr-
ence is in front, the Ottawa behind;
above, to the southwest is Lake st.
Louis, and to the northwest the Lake
of the Two Mountains; and all their
shores adjacent to the city are dotted
with the villas and cottages of Mon
trealers. Beyond river and lake,
en- every side, roll away fertile
plains, for this royal city is in the
heart of what nature intended to be
the garden of Canada. Yet, at the
great limestone docks which line the
water front of Montreal, ocean
steamships of the largest size bring
to the verge of this garden in the
interior of the dominion the odor of
the salt sea.
There are few places on the CONT
nent to which a visit may be made
giving such solid value as we'll as
delightful entertainment as Mon
treal, during any season of the year.
There are novel and instructive feat
ures at every turn, as well as pleas
urable scenes. In many respects the
most striking features of old and
new world cities are combined. The
stranger is certain to find his visit
one of permanent educational use
fulness. Some of the greatest public
works of the continent are in and
around the city, as well as scenes of
some of the most romantic historical
episodes. The gigantic bridges and
waterworks, railways and ocean
steamships, converts and colleges fill
up days of sight seeing, while weeks
might be spent in exploring spots and
ruins of historical interest.

Pat bluffed, and he climbed into the

A Mean Old Thing.

A Burr Oak man woke up the other
night to find his wife going through
his pants pockets, where he kept his
money. When he asked her what
she was after she stammered and
said she was Sewing on a button
that had appeared to be missing
and what did the mean old son of
Adam do but get right out of bed
and find two buttons on his coat,
three on his vest and three on his
underclothes that were just about
ready to drop off, and sit there and
make the woman sew 'em on, re-
marking all the time upon the
thoughtfulness of such a loving little
woman who would crawl out of bed
on cold night just to see that her
husbands clothes We're in good re-
pair.

Dust, Dirt and Flies Prohibited.

The state dairy and food commits
sion has issued pamphlet in which
it outlines the policy of the commits
sion in the matter of the enforce
ment of the pure food act and quotes
and explains the law. The commits
sion states that it will devote much
of its time TO inspection Of places
where food is prepared and kept, es-
pecially in restaurants and hotel kit
chens, dining rooms, bakeries and
the like, with a view of improve
ment of sanitary conditions. Hotel
keepers, restauranters and grocers
are warned that 1.-The department
will strictly enforce the law to the
letter in regard to food products
which are uncovered whereby dust,
dirt, flies and filth will get to them.
Meat products, dates, figs, dried
fruit, pastry, crackers, cakes, bread,
and like products must be protected
by glass and all products screened
from flies. The inspectors will go
through your entire store, including
the cellar. Having possession of rot
ten, decomposed potatoes, apples,
cabbage, or other vegetable products
in your cellar or place of business
is unsanitary and will be grounds for
prosecution if discovered by the in
spectorS.
The ice man will also come in for
shore of attention. The sale of ice
which is to be used in food products,
such as beverages like lemonade,
soda water, punches, ETC., and which
is filthy or unsanitary by reason of
being taken from stagnant waters is
a violation of the food laws of the
state.

lightful views, unsurpassed in Amer
lea. The city possesses a collection
of pictures worthy of inspection in
the art gallery, on Phillips Square; a
free public library, which, by pri-
vate bequest, has been opened at the
Fraser institute; and the Redpath
museum of natural history, contain
ing one of the best collections in
America. Brooklyn has been called
the City of Churches. II does not
deserve the name half as we'll as
Montreal. Scores of religious edi-
fees raise their spires, Like silent
fingers pointing to the sky" and
many more that have no spires over
shadow the structures around with
their domes, minarets or great
square towers. The gigantic church
of Notre Dame, which holds Is, 900
people, throbs at times with the
sound of legros bourbon, one OF the
five largest bells in the world. st.
James Cathedral, opposite the Wind
sor hotel is a fac-simile of st. Peters
at Rome. The church of the Gesu
the musical services in which are
famous, is a building of imposing
simplicity as well as beauty of archi-
lecture.
Scarcely of less interest than these
great structures are many smaller
ones, some celebrated for their in
ternal beauty, while others are the
time-worn yet honored relics of past
centuries. such as the quaint old
church of Our Lady of Bonsecours
Montreals churches, and all else
in the residential portion of the city
are embowered in green foliage. In
the upper portions of the city the
streets are lined by beautiful naples
and occasionally a spur of Mount
Royal runs down amid the dwellings

STATE TAX Levy
FIXED AT Three MILLS

The state tax levy for 1911 has been
fixed by the state board of equaliza-
ton at three mills on the dollar of
all taxables returned and assessed in
the state. This is the same as in 1910.
This levy last year raised for the ex-
penses of the state government
amounted to $S35,S66. The appraise-
ment for taxation this year is twelve
millions above that Of last, and the to-
tai runs above the two hundred and
ninety-two million mark.
In the appraisement of telephone
plants the following system was
adopted:
Exchanges, so subscribers or
less, per phone. ........... $1,000
Exchanges, so to 100, per phone. 1880
Exchanges, 100 to $50, per phone 1900

Exchanges, 500 to 1000, per
phone .................... 5000
Exchanges, 90 and over, per

The real estate Of these corporations
was assessed separately and the total
appraisement has not yet been ascer-
tanned but 1t will be considerably
above last year, when much Of it was
not put on the tax duplicate. The
appraised value of telephone prop.
erty last year was $1,0S5, 0170o.
