TAXING STATE BONDS.

E The proposition for the taxing oi state bonds goes about to the limit o1 absurdity. And it comes simultane- susly with the efforts to market these securities. As says the Hartfort COurant. there is no logic or sense in this transaction and that when a state taxes it's own bonds it simply charges it's creditor for the privilege of lending his money to it. Isn't thai ridiculous? We will borrow s3,000 ,0ot from you and pay you 3 1-2 per cent interest. but we shall charge you any, where from mills to per cent. according to circumstances. for letting us have it. That's what it comes to and the reason for tolerating such power.
 What an inducement to buy state bonds is this proposition if it is made effective? The states bond making fsctory's business isn't likely to pros per under such legislation as that And" adds The Courant." the taxa tion of private indebtedness is equally illogical. Unless We start out with tine notion that double taxation is just and fair or else that in taxing we have no idea of being just or fair, we cannot find any sound reason for tax. ing debts except that it has been done No note is in itself worth any more than the paper it is written on. All that gives it value is the name ol names upon it. To tax both the prop erty and the indebtedness based on il is a double taxation."-New Haver Journal Courier.

 The conductor passed through the train announcing that there would be a delay of about an hour and q half for necessary repairs, and Alys Forde, seeking forgetfulness in travel, gath cred up her book and bon -.bons and stepped off the train at Allystown. AL most immediately she caught sight of the little house, which at once brought back bitter-sweet memories of the days before the misunderstanding when she had insisted that life in so small a village must necessarily be dull for her. She wondered if he had ever seen this place. when it reminded her that it was of just such delightful abode he used to paint such vivid word pie lures of their future. She reached the summit of the hill and approached the house timidly. The hot summer sun was shining down upon the world, Iulling 1t to sleep, and 3 drowsy still ness pervaded the place, which had such an enchanting influence over her. EBrushIng the dust from her clothes, she sat down on the frontdoor step of the house and tried to read. But the print became blurred and then her head began to droop some; then bent lower until she was soon fast asleep.
 It was thus Harry King found her as he hurried around from the rear of the house where he had been on an expedition and where everything seem ed to be ordered to his liking. She looked so fascina tingly sweet, sleeping there with her head resting on her hand, that instead of waking her, he sat down before her, contemplating each familiar feature whose former fold by the magic hands of Sleep, when he knew that the train would be leav- ing in five minutes.

Alys Forde's eyes dilated with mingled awe and wonder as they opened on the very unexpected sight of Harry King seat ed OF the ground before her and the steaming train disappearing in the dis tance.

THE LITTLE WHITE HOUSE. By Adele Bassett, Hampton, Conn.

Way up on hill perched little white house, like a sentinel on guard. It was discernible from the car windows as the noisy train steamed along, leav- ing behind 1t a feather of white and gray smoke curling up to the sky
 On one of his many business trips across country Harry King had dis covered the little treasure quite by ac- cident and it awoke in him a yearning to inhabit a similar one. His eyes had grown weary of the magazine he was reading one day and it dropped to his lap forgotten in his enjoyment of the undulating landscapes which passed by him in almost unbelievable haste. But this day there was an un- expected stop of the train that afford ed him the opportunity of surveying more carefully the surrounding coun- try.
 His attention was at once riveted on the little house at the top of the white, sandy road that curved and wriggled Enthusiastically until it reached the door of the white house prettily set off by
