Funds Less Than Last Year.

State officers and the chairmen of
the senate and assembly finance COM
mittees were told by State Treasurer
Johnson that on March /, 1913, after
deducting the university and normal
school tax, there was but $1,153, 151.64
in the treasury as compared with So
395,669.29 in the same date last year.
The conference was called at the
suggestion of Treasurer Johnson in
view of the fact that the legislature
has made an extraordinary appropria-
ton of $470,000 for the purpose of
meeting the demand by counties on
the highway aid fund
The railroads will pay no more taxes
until August, when they will add some
$1,900,000 to the treasury There will
be some inheritances taxes, but prob
ably not as much as in 1912. The in
come tax, Mr. Johnson says. will not
amount to more than S150,000 instead
of 100000 as once predicted.
The capitol building expense has to
be met, all the expenses of the many
departments, the maintenance of the
institutions and the many other items
of necessity, with no great amount OF
revenue in sight until next August
At The conference a. R. Hirst Of
the highway commission said that in
all probability none of the $470,000
appropriated for highway aid would
be needed before September.

Arbor day to Be May 2.

Governor McGovern named May
as Arbor day. The governors procla-
nation follows:
I'm harmony with approved usage,
I. Francis e, McGovern, governor of
the state of Wisconsin, hereby name
Friday, the second day of May, 1913,
as Arbor and Bird day, to be observed
with appropriate exercises in all the
schools of Wisconsin.
"Arbor day was established to in
struct children in the economic value
of flowers and birds, to instill in their
hearts love of nature, and to encour-
age them in making home and school
surroundings more attractive. Expe-
rience abundantly justifies us in con-
tinuing the custom.
while thus engaged in identifying
the landscape. protection from fire
should not be overlooked. Every nook
and corner should be cleared of all
refuse and inflammable material, so as
to prevent the spread of fire. With
this object in view ! designate this
day also as Fire Prevention day"

Highway Improvement.

ih9HWaJ improvement.
The state highway commission IL
sending out to town chairmen and
town clerks form of resolution for
voting state aid road and bridge taxes
for work to be constructed in 1914
These taxes must be voted at this
springs town meeting or at a special
meeting held before September l.
The legislature has passed almost
unanimously the bill making the $780,
900 deficit in state aid for this years
work, which indicates that its policy
toward adequate appropriations for
1914 and 1915 will be generous.
1t is customary to vote state aid
taxes by resolution at the same hour
that other town business is taken up,
and not to vote by ballot, though both
courses are legal.
1t is believed that votes for state
aid in 1914 will show an increase over
the votes of 1913, which were almost
double those of 1912.

Sent to Masthead as Punishment.
The young prince had been sent to
the masthead for punishment when
the smissaries of the powers arrived
10 cfer him the crown. He accepted
through his father, and, having been
officially declared of age, he made his
entry in Athens on October 80 of that
year, took the oath and assembled the
throne.
Four years later, October Is, 1857.
he married the Grand Duchess Olga,
eldest daughter of the Grand Duke
Constantine of Russia, thus connecting
himself by strong link with one of
the most powerful reigning families OF
Europe.
The Greeks agreed to settle $225,000
year upon their new king. England,
France and Russia each agreed to add
$4,000 a year for the term of his
natural life and about $4,000 was
charged for his benefit on the Tonian
islands. which were later coded to him
by Great Britain.
Father of Six Children.
Queen Olga bore him six children, OF
whom all but the youngest, Prince
Christopher, born in. 1888, are married
The heir apparent to the throne is
Prince Constantine, duke Of Sparta
who was born in 1868, and in 1889 was
married to Princess Sophia, sister OF
Emperor William II.
Although King George always
showed the greatest devotion to his
people and proved himself a faithful
and liberal king, neither he nor his
family enjoyed great popularity. Many
| times the continuance of the dynasty
was seriously threatened, but King
George maintained his dignity and
weathered all storms, even the critical
period of the disastrous war against
Turkey.
The king was born December "a
| lS45. as the second son of Prince
Christian of Schleswig- Holstein- Son
| g-Gluecksburg, who became king
! of Denmark in 1853, and Princess
Louisa, daughter of King Karl XIV. OF
| Sweden and Norway. In baptism the
! young prince received the name Chris
tan William Ferdinand Adolphus
| George.
Sketch of Crown Prince Constantine
The Crown Prince Constantine, who
will succeed King George, is the gen
eralissimo of the Greek army in the
field in the Balkan war. He has dis
tinguished himself in fierce fighting
and only about ten days ago news
came that, at the head of a big force
he had forced the surrender of the i'm
portant Turkish fortress Of Janina
the key to the province of Epirus.
The surrender of this fortress
brought $4,000 Turkish prisoners un
der control of the Greeks, and for his
success the crown prince was thanked
by the chamber of deputies at Athens
after the premier, Mr. Verizelos, hat
congratulated him in addressing tht
deputies.
He was born at Athens on July I'll
1868. The crown prince was the sol
of King George l. of Greece. The worl
of the young prince, after he had OBJ
tanned his majority, was largely de
voted to reestablishing the Greek army
upon a firm footing.

un""ritten Law AaSinst Shooting Ever
Hen Eating Foxes.
Down III tic country the other
DAY There was village sensation in
which was called upon to adjudi-
cate for the farmers assembled in
the parlor of the only village inn"
writes the London correspondent of
Town and Country. Zone of their
number had shot fox which had
prowled about among the fowls for
so many nights that fowl keeping
was becoming risky business.
'The ordinary farmer does not
mind losing an occasional hen, but
reynard is greedy beast and kills
for the mere pleasure of the thing,
and the hunt does not always pay
up promptly. So here was a fine
point in sporting etiquette to be
settled. The farmer had shot fox.
He did not depyjts. In fact, he pre-
ferred to h his chest with
pride, as if m daflance of all the un-
written laws of British sport.
"Now, custom from time imme-
marial has decreed that the fox
shall be as safe from gun and trap
as if he were sacred. He belongs to
the hounds and must be allowed to
roam through the covers and farm
yards at will, devouring what may
happen in his way. Custom, too,
demands that the hunt shall pay
the damages. The hunt generally
pays, though in innumerable cases
the secretary is well aware that he
is being swindled.
"But this particular farmer said
he had hunted for many years him
self and had never made claim for
lost hens. \ year or two ago, how
ever, fox had paid a nocturnal
visit to his fowl yard and had played
havoc with the feathered denizens.
4 night or two after it happened
again. A third time the fox came
Ground and made a most deplorable
mess of lot of fine Wyandottes
and some expensive Buff Orping-
tons.
'"Then the farmer wrote to the
hunt secretary and asked for dam
ages. The reply was that the claim
would lie attended to shortly, and
at Christmas The settlement came
in the form ola nam. Thereupon
the farmer declared war on all foxes
and killed them ruthlessly. And
this was the p int which puzzled the
farmers on Saturday night.
"'Jm Crawford shot fox last
year. said one of the men, and no
good has come to him since. It
amt lucky and it amt sportsman
like. Let 'eln Kill your hens. That's
what they are there for, and if one
hunt secretary is mean there are a
hundred WHO are generous
"There yon have it. Sport is
sport and its rules are adamant. 1t
must, howcvcr, be put to the credit
of British hunt clubs that they
spend mill rs of pounds year in
England, Y les and Ireland for the
upkeep OF sport.
"Think &, The hunters that are
bred and 4 annually, the packs
of hounds, tie huntsmen, the stable
people, the dozens of hangers on
vho make living out of it! With
out the hounds certain districts OF
England would be depopulated.
Leicestershire and the MIDLAND
counties would be almost impover-
ished if a law were suddenly put III
force to make an end to the rich
mans pastime. Country houses in
nominating districts may be had al.
most for the price of cottage IN
Leicestershire, whereas in the
Quorn and Pytchley country a couH.
try house is rs expensive, if not
more so, than a London mansion

All Glasses of People.
The "mont-de-piete," as the
french equivalent of the pawnshop
is called, is state institution. Con-
sequently there is not that friendly
communion between the lender and
the client that one sees in London.
There is no private office"
where the person temporarily en-
barrassed for money may screen
himself from inquisitive eyes.
If you are in want of money and
you have any portable property Of
the value of 3 francs or more you
take it to the nearest branch Office
of the "mont-de-piete."
The first thing that meets your
gaze is a guard municipal patrol
ling up and down the pavement out
side the entrance.
With feeling Of wholesome re-
spect for the majesty of the law,
you now enter a large room, Of
which one side is occupied by
benches Every hard and uncomforta-
bic ones) and the other by half a
dozen employees behind a counter
Having handed your property to
a clerk whose desk bears the in
scription, Reception of Articles, +"
you receive a numbered metal check
in exchange and then join tae ranks
Of the expectant borrowers on the
benches.
There are all sorts and conditions
Of men and women, from the work
girl who brings her Sunday hat to
the great lady who brings her
jewels and whose motor car is wait
ing in the street.
But if there is no fraternity in
the "mont-de-piate" there is at least
equality, and no precedence is given
to wealth or fashion.
When the value of your property
has been estimated in another room
q clerk calls out your number and
the amount offered, which you can
accept or refuse. 1t is never more
than half the lowest selling price OF
the object, as the valuer is response
bic for any loss arising from unre-
deemed pledges. If you accept his
offer your name, address and pro-
fession are taken down by another
clerk, and you must produce paper;
to establish your identity.
The interest charged is only Z pei
cent per annum, and there is nc
doubt that the state pawnshops rem
der great services to all classes Of
