railway people call it. The jitney's
success is the taxicab's failure. The
latter has never been much more than
an instrument of luxury, bluff, or
crime in many of our cities( see the
movies for proof. The taxicab peo-

it will last.-Collier's.

to foot all the bills? Names famous

the hardest kind Of shedding the past
season. Prices have been discourage
ingly low, not enough to pay expense
Of production for the past two
months. On top Of that. there went
into effect April 16 new system OF
inspection by the government. where
by it was all done at Portland instead
of back at shipping points. AS IT
worked out this meant added expense,
if not downright rejection Of CARROTS,
and more charges to be piled on top
Of original potato loss. Middlemen
take no chances and to offset this
possible loss at the Portland inspec-
ton they have materially lowered
prices back in the country. Whether
it be in handling potatoes. milk, ap-
pies or any other farm products. all
concerned seem to have a delightful
way Of slipping out from under the
responsibility to let farmers carry the
burden alone. This condition is like
ly to prevail just as long as farmers
allow it-and no longer. With char
acteristic enterprise and energy

The Sections Race.

(Robert Ellis. Esq, of Saltwater. Me-.
in Old Town Enterprse.)
In a quiet little village not many miles
away,
There lived an honest Sexton as I've
heard the people say,
He had cared for many a mortal when
freed from earthly pain,
And none that he had buried were ever
heard complain.
He lately had an errand. the kind that
suits him best,
weary suffering mortal had lain him
down to rest
With face serenely solemn, a black suit
neat but plain,
High seated on his somber hearse he
led the funeral train.
1t CHANGED that day a traveller was out
upon ride
With team both fast and fancy and
lady by his side,
He overlook the cortege, 1t scarcely
He could not wait for corpses and so
went dashing by.
The Sexton then looked wrathful and to
himself he said,
I'll teach that stuck up rascal not to
insult the dead,
He piled the whip lash sharply and gave
his horse the rein
all his might and main.
It was neck and neck a moment, like
lightning was the pace
When grimly smiled the Sexton, his
horse had won the race,
And turning thus he shouted in accents
OF command.
Fall in. fall in. Sir traveller. the
mourners are at hand.
