PRESIDENT fArr TO ~ Al
Brown.

The news that President Taft has
consented to be present at the conn
mencement exercises Of Brown uni
versity in June next will be- read with
pleasure by the friends and kradu-
ates Of that college in this part Of
Connecticut.
Commenting upon the event, the
Providence Journal says:
1T II q long time since chief mag
istrate OF the United States graced q
function in Providence
and If it were known that Mr.. Taft
had arranged to be here there would
undoubtedly be one Of the largest
alumni gatherings in the history Of
Brown. OF course the president is
bound by long association to the uni
versity at New Haven, but as he has
attended so many c0mmencements
there he might surely consent to fore
20 the pleasure one year and visit
Providence instead He would re-
ceive warm welcome in this city,
where he has been on many previous
occasions of q different nature, but
never ON Commencement day. Mr..
Hughes should tell him that il he
comes he will see an academic OBJ
servance unlike that at Yale in many
of its features, yet diEnified and pic
turesque, and wholly plcasurable, pro-
vided the weather is good"

And true it is. I love her well,

I stay until she falls asleep,

Whene'er / have the chance,
Though small my deeds, I'm more than

I hold the wool for her to wind,
And never let it fall;

I thread her needles. find her pins,
And pick up things she drops;

For boys are only boys;
Yes, one thing more-when Granny

A CHANCE FOR BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATIONS.

In his address before the Business
Mems association at Hartford on
"wednesday night, Gov. Baldwin call
ed attention to the fact that the bond
holders and the money Lenders were
not paying q fair proportion of the
taxes. This is what the governor had
to say:
How many. do you think. of the tax
able bonds. and notes. owned by in
divfduals in this state, get into the
town tax lists, In the state tax list
where "a q year is the tax on each
$1,000 Of such property. some 81 mil
lion Of them appear. In the town tax
1ist4 where-if they catch them--the
tax 10 generally much higher, the re-
turns show that taxes are paid on
something like ss.ooo.oo0. The two to-
gether sum up s40.00o.0o0. I believe
1hat $t0,9os.eoo more bonds ana
notes excape taxation all together.
Some Of our investment brokers' are
partly responsible for this. They Oft
en- advertise bonds for sale az non
taxable, winch are taxable; and those
whe buy on this assurance never re-
turn them for taxation. Lock over
the inventories of Estates in the pro-
bate ofnces and then compare them
with the last tax lists of the man who
has died. and many is the case where
he viii be found to have owned bonds
when he died. which ought to have
gone into the tax lists and never did.
This is the reason why our laws
allow men who are honest enough to
list their bonds for taxation, or have
got othsr>pssple's bonds in their hands

Richard robin,
The susx Little Bee.


Ever get stung by a bee? 1t IS not
pleasant. II there are plenty of bees
they sting you in the most convenient
place, but If there is only one you are
pretty sure to get 1t on the nose, quite
as IL the bee understands that she
could not do much worse for you. One
bee that lived down south in Indiana
went a little farther than that. The
man that she was having a difference
of opinion with had his mouth open,
and she stung him on the tongue. 1t
is bad enough to be stung on the nose,
but there is all outdoors for the nose
to swell into. The tongue has not so
much room. and the man was nearly
suff0cated before the swelling went
down. You sees the real cure for a
bee sting is poultice of mud. but the
man said he didn't like the taste of
mud. and so his tongue had to stay
swollen for a while.-Letter from q
