One man upon whom he called
preaches and constantly practices

He carne to this office for prices
and , found that he , could get , the
work done here cheaper than by
giving his order ' to the solkitor.
The solicitor called upon . . . . nuther
man in the same business , again .
mddng' ; time same Ieprescntations.
'his ( man took the so1icitor's
word and when the order was delivered -
livered found that he hat.l . paid l
more than the home office

The Hun + er of a Dab } " ' : ! Hea.rl.
A touching story comes from i i
Brock. A few months ago in' '
. .
a tit of 1 temporary insanity . caus- I
ed In' sickcs : in the family , Mrs.
Henri Desconde , a french woman
living in the northwest part of i
the county committed suicide by ,
drowning' herself in a rain barrel.
Her tragic act left motherless a
large family , among them a babe
about three months old. After
the death of the mother the babe
cried incessantly and seemed to
) be pining away with : g-rjl'f. S-"m-
pathetic women of the ncig"hbor-
hood tried to ministcl to the little
one , offering it thc needful food ,
and while it was properly nour-
ished it continued to pine and
\ , iLStC awa r.
It was a clear case of a baby
dying of g"ief. : Finally a great .
hearted , mgtlierly Frcnchwoman
camc in , and taking the child in
her arm , sang an old ] , old lullaby
in the patois of Loraine , a folk
song of thc peasants
'l'he fretful cries of the babe
Ceased , it closed its eyes in con-
tent , and dropped into peaceful
slnmbor. The mother tongue
had cured the ache in its little
heart Since then thc good
Frenchwomln has visited the
saddened home from day to day
to sing her song and to lull the
little one to slcep. The babe has
recovered and is growing into
strong and vigorous baby lioud.-

Trca urcr's Report
, 'I ime - anHual report of the
county treasurer published in
the last issue of 'l'hc Falls } City
TrilH111C shows the financial
affairs of the county to be in
splendid condition. On D cpm-
I
ber3lst , there was H cash bal-
ncc of SSO,12.20 on' hand and 1
not a rel..istered'arrant , out
-
stanlin In other words the
county has this stun of money on
hand with \vllich to begin a new
rcar. If there were a number of
interest bearing warrants to draw
against this balance that conli-
tion would not be so favorable.
Jut ] thc county is out of debt.
Thc cash balance is all available
fur county nceds. .
This large balance 'should have
its effect 011 taxation. ' 1'herc
should bc imo need of a large ley )
this ycar. If the county board
does its duty by the people it will
make a levy in proportion to the
am0ttilt on ha n(1. ' 1'hcn taxes
will be c.orrespunding-Iy lower. It
remains to be seen what will be
done in the matter.
'I'helargecash balance on hand ]
is due largely to Treasurer % ooi 's
dillig-encc in collecting delinquent
taxes. A distress warrant hall
not been issued ] in this county fur
years prior to \1 r. uok's in\'I1I11-
bcncy. But the law says that
the treasurer shall issue distress
warrants and Mr. Zouk obeyed
, the law. Wl' imagine that it was
a hard timing to rlo in some cases
hut thc trca.url'r had ; till' nerve
' "

_ . .
" ' - - - -
, , ,
to do his duty as laid down by thc
,
law. " f
Not , long ago we heard a prominent -
inent republican say that Martin
Zook had cost the people of this
county More money than any man
that ever filled thc treasurers
oflice. At first wc took the re-
' .
mark ( as a criticism ot the treas-
.
urcrs official record , but the man
smiting'l r explained himself.
Treasurer look has madc more
people pay their taxes , consc-
qucntly he has cost the pcople :
more moncy-but no more than
the law presumes than an efti-
den treasurer shall cost the peo- .
