~occasioned by the recklessness Of the
1919 legislative assembly is 20.3 per

Mr.. Baker further finds that, ex-
elusive Of the railroad taxes, which

the railroad. Assuming that the in

great, we get an increased tax burden
of 33 and one-third per cent for the
current year.
Local Taxes to Be High
The tax commission has made a
statewide study, through an extended
correspondence with levying boards
of the probably 1919 local levies and
I am free to confess that it seems
more probably from the reports that
the increased burden will be so per
cent rather than SO and one-third per
cent. There has been little building
or repairs during the past two years,
and the levy has not kept pace with
the expenditures. Nearly all local
funds are in a bad way and the de-

pairs and building looked after. ]

I Start In a Long Way.

We reached Canton at six o'clock In
the evening of beautiful summer
day. went at once to call upon the
Dunkelbergs and learned from a man
At work In the dooryard that they had
gone away for the summer. How
keen was my disappointment / went
to the tavern and got my supper and

"Swift as the weaver's shuttle" he
answered. "Sit you down, while call
the family. They're out in the kitchen
putting the dishes away. Many hands
make light labor"
They came quickly and gathered
about me-a noisy, happy group. The
younger children kissed me and sat on
my knees and gave me the small news
of the neighborhood.
How good were the look Of those
friendly faces and the full-hearted
pleasure Of the whole family at my

My heart beat fast when ! saw the
house and my uncle and Purvis coming
In from the twenty-acre lot with

front steps looking down the road.
Now and then her waving handker-
chief went to her eyes. Uncle Pea

load and walked toward me.

Dave Ramsey who really started that

night and confessed his crime. Hlo

He said that he had not seen Peabody

money was lost but had only heard
that he was there. He knew now that
he couldn't have been there. Gosh

say when there was nothing else to BE-

It touched me to the soul--this long
delayed vindication of my beloved
Uncle Peabody.
The senator ate supper with rs and
sent his hired man out for his horse
and buggy. When he had put on hiS
overcoat and was about to 60 no
turned to my uncle and said:

success In the world II Is because I
have had the exalted honor and con-
seriousness that 1 represented men like
you"
He loft nc and vva sat down nv The
glowing candles. Soon told them what
Ramsey had done. There was a mo-
ment Of silence. Uncle Peabody rose
and went to the water pail for drink.
"Bart, believe I'll plant corn on
that ten-arce lot next ,spring-darned
If l DON'T" he said as he returned to
his chair.
None of us ever spoke Of the matter

We ran pell-mell up the lane to the
steps like pair Of children.
Aunt Deel did not speak. She just
put her arms around me and laid her
dear old head upon my breast. Uncle
Peabody turned away. Then what
silence! or In the edge Of the wood
land heard the fairy flute of wood
thrush,
"Purvis. you drive that load on the
floor an put up the hosses." Uncle
Peabody shouted in moment. "If
you don't like it you can hire mother

out"
"All right" Purvis answered.
"You bet It's all right. I'm fer abo-
lition an I've stood your domineerin',

one mornin'. If you don't Ike 1t you
can look for another man."
Aunt Deel and 1 began to laugh at
this good-natured. make-believe scold-
Ing of Uncle Peabody and the emo
tional strain was over. They led me
into the house, where delightful sur
prise awaited me, for the rooms had
been decorated with balsam boughs
and sweet ferns. A glowing mass of
violets. framed In moss. occupied the
center Of the table. The house was

After the wonders which we have

fered Disagreement during the war,
lit is not surprising that plastic sur

improving civilians also. Ugly noses,
projecting ears, harelips and all sorts
of other obstacles to good looks will
probably be easily corrected in the

,teresting thing along this line which
has been recently discovered is that

Lay ALL UNDER CONTRIBUTION
Persian pervishes Demand Aims as
Right, and Simple People Read
lily Give Up.

! A feature of Persian life which Illus
trates the simple and superstitious
nature of the people of the mideast is
their tolerance of the dervishes. These
weird, gypsylike beggars infest the
cities and annoy the village folk in
passing from one place to another, ac-
cording to their vows of itinerancy.
These are not the whirling dervishes
Of circus fame. Whirling would be too
energetic a form of worship for the
members of this most ancient leisure
Class. Their greatest exertion consists
of walking slowly and blowing horn
to announce their presence.
The dervish of Persia is known by
his begging bowl, conical cap, animal
skin cape and club. The weapon,
which is usually n lick driven through
with nails, is carried conspicuously.
1T fact, it seems unpleasantly ready
for use when its owner calmly de-
mands tribute. 1t is true that there
lis small danger of its use, even If
aims are refused, but refusal how
ever polite and apologetical, is sure to
tarouse the wrath OF the dervish. His
vocabulary may be unintelligible, but
the meaning of his threats and proph-
ecies is usually understood. Fellow
citizens of the dervish tribe prefer to
make a gift at any cost in order to
avoid having the wrath of heaven
called down upon them in the mastery
Language of an experienced heaven in
Iyoker.
The dervish makes himself useful to
the community honored by his pres
ence by telling fortunes and stories,
!reciting prayers, selling charms and
even curing the sick by blowing his
sacred breath on them-all in return
for which he turns over to his chief
after deducting living wage.

GIVEN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS
Historical Applications Bestowed CT
SUBMITS Of Mountain Range in
Old Vermont.

Heretofore when one spoke Of the
presidential range everyone = every
New Englander, at least-knew, with
out further particularizing, that Mount
washington and its attendant SUBMITS
was the subject. writes Allen Cham
berlain in the Boston Evening Tran
script.
Henceforth one must needs be more
specific. since during the last year
rival presidential range has appeared
on the map in Vermont. That region,
hitherto generally spoken Of os the
Bread Loaf Mountain section, lying
between Middlebury gap and the Lin
colnWarren pass, was but little
known. except in its southerly portion,
until the Green Mountain club men
ran their Skyline trail through. They
found there maze of unnamed sum-
mits grouped as in council, and SEEM
ingly worthy Of being recognized as
individuals of distinction.
Just north Of these heights is the
rugged mass whose SUBMITS have been
known for more than half century as
Mounts Abraham and Lincoln. Quite
naturally the idea of new presiden-
tial range arose and, with great parti-
san restraint, four of the neighboring
mountains were therefore named
Mount Grant, Mount. Grover Cleve-
land, Mount Roosevelt and Mount
Woodrow Wilson.
