This is the birthday OF Robert Burns

a scotchman is dangerous. Those

asperse the poetry of Mr.. Burns on

Some people write poetry because
they have nothing else 10 do and
some because they cant do anything
else. Burns was one CT the latter
kind. He was the sou of a small
farmer and began his career as Il
plougRboy soon after his birth in
1853. However II agriculture in Scot
land depended Oh Burns efforts the
country would soon have become Il
desert. He was SO poor as farmer
that 1t was decided 10 educate him
instead. This was done and Burns
began to write poetry At Il very early
age.
From that time Burns made his
living from poetry. 1t was very
poor living up to the time OF his
death. Since then ii has gotten stead
lily better until now a great many pco'
pie make their living from burns poet

verses with the true Scotch accept

The Tax Hearing

Not much satisfaction was got out
of the Commissioners by those who
appeared before them. Their minds
had been made up 10 set everything
back where ii was before the board
of review acted and back 1t went.
The hearings in the city of Crystal
Falls were on the Youngstown mine
which complained because the board
OF review set value Of $3.50. 600 on
il as against an appraisal Of $l70, 600
by the tax commission. The Great
Western WAS raised so. 500 above the
appraisal but no complaint was lodg-
ed. The Nicely had been lowered from

change. The Ravenna was placed at

Telegraph Messenger Needed

There is a lot OF complaint from the
business men and residents of the
city over the plan pursued here by the
Western Union Telegraph Go. The ser
vice was bad when the office was at
the railway station but the policy
pursued since the wires were strung TO
the telephone office is such as to knock
all the merit out of the service given
now.
The complaint is that Eo messenger
is employed. A lady operator is em
ployed at the central and no tanlt
is found with her work. When she
gets a message she can deliver it only
by phone or through the post Office
and unless the person happens 10 have
y phone and is present when central
calls mp, the letter confirming
the message generally gets mere be-
fore the message is delivered.
There Is no excuse for not having a
messenger boy to deliver messages to
those who have no phones Anyway,
business men want the office copy of
the message so that II there is any
dispute the evidence is at hand and
under the present arrangement the
receiver never sees the message.
