At ten o'clock Thursday morning, Moderator Eugene B. Pendleton stood behind the desk of the town hall and said: "Freemen of the town of Vest erly will please come to order and the clerk will read the call for this special town meeting" and, of course, Town Clerk Wh1pple complied
 The first matter brought up was the introduction of vote to repeal the tax vote passed at annual financial town meeting which fixed the rate on all taxable property at $1.50 in each S10O. The vote was repealed and an other tax rate was substituted. It was voted that the rate on tangible property be $1.5O on each $10O as here tofore, and that the rate on intangi- ble property be 40 cents instead of $1.50, in order to comply with the new state tax law.
 Then came the proposition to sell to the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Go. a portion of the town farm Clerk Whipple explained that the railroad company desired strip of land along the edge of the farm to establish siding, but had not yet completed the plan, so it was deemed advisable to take action at the special town meeting so as not to make another meeting necessary for that specific purpose. A vote was passed giving the town council the authority to make the transfer provided 1t could be done without detriment to the town farm.

Town Treasurer James M. Psndfeton explained the item in the call that asked for appropriation for grading about the town hall and for furnish ing the building when completed. MT. Pendleton said that the town had ap- propriated sS0,o00 for the construo- ton of a new town hall and had au- thorlzed the issuance of bonds for that purpose. There was & question as to whether the grading could be consid- cred 8 part of the construction, and to avoid ambiguity an appropriation was asked. It was not contemplated to ask for an additional dollar of ex- pense in connection with the town hall nor go beyond the $S0,000 appropriat- ed, but would return a substantial bal ance. He has expected to make re- port of the actual cost of the build ing at the meeting, but delays beyond the power of the committee, in re- gard to contract for ventilation, heat ing and lighting prevented, He offer ed 8 vote appropriating S10,00o for grading around the town hall and for the furnishings, provided the whole cost of the building complete will mol exceed s80,0OO. The vote was unani- mously adopted.

The Money Wasn't Wasted.


We had farm boy who came from the
fruit belt in the west side of our state
His father sent him to our agricultural
college to learn something more about
growing fruit. After graduating be
went back to his farm, where there were
ten acres Of apple orchard.
Dad" he said, "let me handle the or
chard, as have been taught to do"
His father, one of those good hard
headed old fellows, looked his boy in the
eye, shrugged bis shoulders, and said
"Huh, Got the big head, have you? You
have been over to that college and come
back and think you know more about
growing apples than | do; but want you
to understand, boy, that l grew apples
before you were born"
The boy looked his father in the eye
for moment and answered: ut looks
to me as though you have made a mis-
take. Either you made mistake when
you dug up the money to send me to col
lege, or else you are making mistake
now when you won't let me use what
you've paid for" That was pretty
hard nut for the father to crack. he
thought for moment, and then: "Weii,
boy," he said, "take that orchard and
run it for year. guess you won't
spoil it in year" 49,.
The boy pruned, sprayed, fertilized
and cultivated as he had been taught to
do. and the next season he made more
clear profit from that ten acres OF Or
chard than his father had made from the
whole farm for the previous ten years,
Why? because he had stronger hands or
stronger arms than his father? No, that
was not it at all; nor because he worked
harder; but because he more intelligently
guided the days work with the head.

Fata Morqana.

The kind of mirage known rs rata
morgana Is seen across straits or lakes
In southern Europe and shows In calm
weather such images in the air as those
of towns. castles and palaces. On the
Lake of Geneva it is sometimes seen
on fine afternoons Of spring or sum-
mer +. A. Forel. the well known
Swiss Investigator. has been giving
some attention to the curious apparl-
tions and concludes that they are due
to a peculiar distribution Of temper;i-
ture In the air over the water. In the
morning, the air being cooler than the
lake. the opposite bank seems to be
depressed. exaggerating the earth's ro'
tundlty, and late In the afternoon, the
air having become hotter than the wal
ter's surface, the opposite bank ap-
parently rises above the true horizon
and the earth's circumference Is en-
larged. For few moments only, ut
the change from one condition to the
other, the fata morgana may be seen.
