DEER RACE A TROLLEY CAR
Three of Them Amuse the Passengers on an lnterburban Line in
 Connecticut.

Passengers on the car leaving this city one afternoon were treated to a pretty sight at the rock cut below Egypt Brook on the Derby line when three large deer raced ahead of the fast running car for over 800 yards. leav- ing the tracks when the car got so close that the fender touched the hind legs of the last deer.
 Motorman J. L. Mcclure came upon the deer suddenly as the car rounded a sharp turn in the rock cut and sounded his gong. The deer stood still for moment and Mcclure put cn his brakes, as he was afraid that he would strike them. He blew the air whistle and the three were of in speed. Mcclure then followed while the passengers aboard the car crowded into the front end to watch the deer. They ran gracefully to- gether, but could not get off the tracks as there is a very steep declivity on the right hand side and the bank ran up too steep on the left to permit them to get off the right of way.
 Finally they came tc a spot where they could leave and one after the other they jumped into the under brush on the uphill side. The last deer fingered so long by the side of the track that the fender brushed its heels as 1t leaped aside
 Two of the deer were fair sized while the third was one of the largest seen by the trolleymen in their experi- ence along that line. Deer are rather common in the Beacon Falls section of the run and they are frequently seen by early morning trolley crews Harry Hogan, conductor of the car said that although he has seen many deer on the trolley tracks in that section, these seemed less afraid of the car than any.-Waterbury Re publican.

Frenchman's Song Collection.

No French president can during his tenure of office escape being plague ragged, we might translate it-some- times rather ferociously Of this rag ging M. Fallieres has certainly had his full share. It appears that he takes 1t all in the best spirit. He has even collected all the songs that have been written about him, and in the evening after dinner he sometimes asks one of his intimate friends to sing selections from the fat volume they make. He is said to derive a good deal of quiet from a study of the faces of his orderly officers when the song is more than usually personal and out spoken.

The Last Word on Raising Taxes.
Mr. Voter, don't be scared about
having your taxes raised by voting
out the saloons. 1t can't be done
The TAX rate in Monroe County now
under the saloon reign, is just as
high as it can ever be. Just as
high as the Constitution will let the
County Courts make them. If the
taxes are ever raised any in this
County, the Constitution will have
to be amended and the voters will
have to vote the amendment So
yours tax will not be any higher
without the saloons than with them
but possibly lower. The tax rate
has been lowered in cities and
counties that have voted out the
saloons, but none have ever been
raised.

Now Mr.. Voter, we have tried

fine under the Local Option Law is
$4,000. Quite a difference; one or
