The Montpelier tax rate next year will be $6.65, rather making the little old $5.15 of last year here look like saving money. In fairness to Montpelier it should be stated that a part of the tax rate is a special assessment and it is believed that after one year, they can get back to normal. Dr. A. L. Marks of Spokane has t> new cure for the road hog. Recently while traveling along a narrow road he came up behind a car which refused to hear his “honk”. He happened to have along a big torpedo like the kids use on the Fourth and he heaved it over against the rear of the car ahead. The driver was busy looking his car over to see where the blow-out was as the doctor drove past.

Talk about your up and doing societies. your civic improvement associations and one thing and another, but the work of the Spokane Horticultural society probably take the cookie. More than ten thousand tourists enroute to the exposition stopped in the hustling city of the north this year and to each was presented by a member of the above society a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Statistics furnished by the city shows they gave away seventy thousand roses and over two hundred thousand asters. It was by no means a bad idea and it has attracted much attention over the country. Do you know why? Well, principally, because it was an original mode of doing things. It pays to be a jump ahead of the other city. In the September Woman’s Home Companion appears a department called "The Exchange” in which various, readers report practical house-keeping ideas which they have developed out of their experience. A Pennsylvania woman writes: “We live in the country where there Is plenty of work and little social life. I enjoy keeping house and cooking, but I long occasionally to sit down to a meal that someone else has prepared. We have two neighbors living near by. Why not exchange meals? I talked to my neighbors: they were ready to try the plan, which works admirably. One family entertains the other two fatallies each week at supper. We had some difficulty in getting our men to fall In with the plan; but they decided they would rather go along than eat a cold lunch at home, and now enjoy the plan.” Nearly all on the list of circus performances have inherited their strength and skill. They have been literally born in the arena. Some of them represent the third and fourth generations of famous circus families. The boys and girls of the Carl Hagen-beck-Wallace circus, which comes to Decatur Tuesday, September 14, number nearly two-score. The training of these children begins almost at birth. Indeed, in the vast majority of cases there is the powerful effect of heredity, which exercises ah influence upon the child and helps It to overcome obstacles to others well nigh impossible. The chief effort is to create courage and daring. The muscles must be developed and the lunfcs expanded, but at the same time the brain must not be neglected. Many a gymnast has mental abilities often lacking in the ordinary man. He has to understand some geometry and mathematics, else how can he. calculate tha exact distance of a -Jump, a fall or a somersault.

The St. Agnes music academy, which is in connection w'ith the school, also opened on its fall term this morning. Why is it that ther’s only about two days in a whole year when a feller has th’ energy, paraphenailia an’ inclination t’ get down an’ write a letter? Ankle watches fer women! Why they’d have t’ buy a new crystal ever' time they corked 'emselves. —Abe Martin. Remonstrances against the Marshall, First, Russell, Oak.

Kurt. C. Burr, and John Wolford will go to Fort Wayhe to be with her during the operation. Running an automobile without license plates does not pay and besides it is a direct violation of the Indiana state laws.

They were detained several hours and finally gave a bond of $25 as a guarantee to make their appearance before Mayor Christen tomorrow morn ing.

A PLEA FOR THE WORKING GIRL. Editor Democrat: While we are justly denouncing the lynching of Erank by a Georgia mob and decrying the diseased public sentiment that could condone such an act of lawlessness, it might cause a healthy flush of shame to us for labor conditions as they relate to children, by giving thought to the ostensible sentiments of the murdered girl, Mary Phagan, as expressed by Mary White Covington: Mary Phagan Speaks. “You care a lot about me, you men of Georgia, now that I am dead. "You have spent thousands of <follars trying to learn who mutilated my body. “You have filled the columns of your newspapers with the story of my wrong. "You have broken into a prison and murdered a man that I might be avenged. . “BUT, why did you not care for me when I was alive? “I was a child, but you shut me out of the daylight. ■“You held me within four walls, watching a machine that crushed through the air, “Endlessly watching a knife as it cut a piece of wood. “Noise fills the place—noise, dust and the smell of oil. “1 wish some of the thousands of dollars that you spent on the trial might have kept me in school, a real school, the kind you build for the rich. “I worked through the hot August days When you were bossing the girls, or shooting birds, "Or lounging in doorways cursing ‘the nigger;’ “And you never paid me enough to buy a pretty dress. “You sometimes spoke coarsely to me when I went to and from my work; “Yes, you did, and I had to pretend that I liked it. “Why did you despise me living, and yet love me so now? "I think I know. It is like what the preacher told me about Christ: “People hated him when he was alive, “But when He was dead they killed man after man for His sake.” JAMES T. MERRYMAN. o Mr. and Mrs. Henry Knapp are visiting in Indianapolis, leaving here yesterday.
