he was exercised each day.
"He had very nice comfortable

There were other ponies belonging TO
the circus and they had their stalls
near his. They would neigh and chat
with each other and shake their
names and talk of the circus and the
people who had seen them act.
They would talk of parades and
brass bands, OF having their names
tied with beautiful, bright ribbons
They would talk of the trips they
made ito different places and OF how
much alike each place looked

to travel again.
"All the animals weren't so anxious

exercise and training weren't enough
for Pet. He longed for something
more exciting. And now that he saw

THE STATES ACCOUNTING.

As expected Gov Clement in his
inaugural message dealt with the
state s. system of accounting, his rec
concentrations having been previously
published. Most of~his plan is prac
teal and would efficiently protect the
funds of the state. Making the audi
tors Office bureau of audit only
seems desirable; the payment of all
bills from the state treasury is proper.
The suggestion that certified public
accountants examine the books of the
state twice a year sounds expensive,
but it is the commonly accepted method
among private concerns whose business
is the size of that of the state and is
the most certain method of securing
thorough examinations
If the state board of control could be
reorganized so it would not include the
state officers who spend the state Is
money and its members were made in.
spectors of all bills presented to the
state for payment, giving their approx.
al to all bills before they are paid, such
hoard could prevent misuse of state
funds. If the misuse of funds was
made impossible the employment OF
certified accountants to detect any
such irregularity would be unnecessary
Protection rather than detection il
what is desired and we hope the legis
lature will work to secure it as cheap
ly and effectively as possible.

The fourday open season for deer
shooting in the state of New Jersey
which has just closed, reports the kill
ing of 365 deer, large number for so
short a time and remarkable also from
the fact that not single accident was
reported. The wardens believe this is
due first to the law which forbids the
killing of any deer except those hav-
ing horns visible over the hair and to
the recommendation of the state fish
and game warden that all deer shooters
wear either white or red hats and
coats both factors having enforced
extra caution. A good thing for
Maine to try out.

The Vermont legislature has voted
to listen to the Hon. John Barrett on
some date convenient to him. Mr..
Barrett is a native of Vermont and is
engaged in a great work in developing
closer relations between North and
South Americas. But he cannot bring
any help to the Legislature as state
law making body. The date for his APP
pearance may be one that viii quite Sc
riously interfere with the regular work
of the legislature. A little caution
about giving away the time of legis-
lature to outside promoters and pub
licists may help in shortening the term
and save the state some real money.
