Having strained the milk into the row
of waiting crooks on the porch table and
set It away in the cool springhouse over
the little branch, he washed his face and
hands at the pump and hattened his wiry
hair in front of the little mirror which
had reflected the decorative attempts of
Mrs. Mimms-this last an unusual ana
wholly unwilling concession to the eX-
pected presence of fish Chapman-and re-
sponded to his wife's call to supper. AS
he entered the kitchen he looked appre-
hensively around the room. even giving
furtiye glance behind the door; but there
was no one there save his vile. hospitaniy
beaming at him behind the coffee pot. and
he was too much displeased to ask further
explanation. will you have cup OF
coffee Mr.. Mimms?" asked his wife. IN
exactly the same tone that sne would
have used to the circuit rider.
"Of course I'll have coffee" replied Mr..
Affinms. exasperatedly. "Ain't I ben a
havin' it these forty years? what q you
suppose I'd have?'
Mrs. Mimms made no direct reply. Let
me give you a piece Of this egg bread"
she said, with sweet cordially. ITS real
good. eff do say It as shouldn't"
Again Mr. Mimms caught himself look

term ''egg bread" was one reserved only

assessed at actual cash value,
and to the fact that there is too
much carelessness on the part OF
officials in the expenditure OF
public money, the cost OF gov
eminent being far greater than
1t should be. Cash values alone
should not cause taxes to be
higher. After the system has
been properly adjusted it will
undoubtedly be found more sat
isfactory than the old way OF
assessing on a % or so per cent
basis, but the laws must be re-
vised, levies reduced and stricter
economy practiced in all the
branches OF government before
the people can hope to obtain
much relief from exorbitant tax
burdens.

Prices at Perry's Market.

While the wholesale quotations on Chicago
beef remains about the same. we notice
the retail prices have scaled down near
ly 80 percent. 1t is quite evident that this
enormous reduction has been brought about by
one man. Perry, who said he would put the
prices of meat down in Belfast. When one
can buy good roast at 10c., and srloin steak
for 19c., which are the prices now being charged
at Perry's market, 81 Main street. there is no
reason why the meat eaters of Belfast cannot
have sirloin steak without mortgaging their
house; thing they could not do before.
