 The Harry Lauder of Quarry Hill, called Sam for short, is a skilled hunter of unerring aim but somewhat lacking in judgment as to the result of a well directed bullet. A friend gave Sam half a dozen guinea hens reared from eggs in a stolen nest in the woods, and they were almost as wild as the partridge. Sam was transfer ring them from crate to coop when one of the birds escaped and flew to a nearby chimney top. Sam tried to bring the bird down with an air rife, but while the bullets struck the mark they did not remove the descendant of Guinea from the chimney top perch. Finally Sam got his trusty hunting rife, took deliberate aim, struck the bird, and it fell on the inside of the chimney, as Sam did not even use the judgment of woodchopper in felling a tree. He shot from the wrong df- rection. The house is temporarily un- occupied, as the usual occupants are visiting in Providence, and Sam is wondering whether the guinea hen is wounded and starving in that chimney or. killed and roasted, or is lying dead and gaining strength with time a strength that may be stifiing, in the open hearth at the base of the chim- ney. It is said that the aroma of g long dead rat is perfume in comparison to a long dead guinea hen.

Assessor, telling of the troubles and difficulties in assessments. He said that one of the most unique tax laws ever known was enacted in Rhode Island in 1873, providing that person might be assessed upon "the guess of his neighbor." He said if such a law was in force now revenue would be more plentiful.
 Governor Beeckman declared he would do what he could towards the enactment of the proposed law to es- tablish uniform date of tax assess ment. He told of inequalities af taxa tion and how rich men came into the state and make deal somewhere with somebody to tax him for $200, 900 when it should be $1,000,000 or more. He cited the case of a woman who has personal property of $5,000,000 and is not taxed for one cent. He urged all tax assessors to tax persons what they think they should be taxed for.

He was given the same treatment as
any of us, that is, the very best, but
finally. the doctors gave him up. They
thought he would die slowly, and that
it might take several weeks.
But there was a nurse there, who
took special interest in his case, and
she stayed up day and night for some
time and finally brought him through.
The case was very well known, and
everybody said she had performed
miracle. He got better slowly.
Then few weeks later. when he
was out Of danger and was able to
walk, and it was only a question of
time before he would be released from
the hospital, this nurse was trans

knew her and liked her, and when she
went around to say good-by, all the
men were sorry and gave her little
presents, and wanted her to write to

to the German. Then the French Of

the nurse and she went over to him
and stopped crying.
They talked for little while, and
