Any citizen paying two dollars and ten cents poll tax, is entitled to vote at Civic Elections. This tax has to be paid in .iunc of each year at City Hall, a cut of which accompanies this article. It is not, liowcver, with the Poll Taxlwish to write afcw lines, but io draw attention to the very much taxed Poles of our City and Country. In this very picture of the City llall the reader may notice some of the many hideous telegraph, telephone and electric light poles 'of our City. Sometimes aslnglenpole acts for these three uses and is eavlly taxed. How these poles mar the look of strcets,oi buildings and when aserious fire breaks out prevent the firemen from working their best. How many poles would you say were planted upon the four sides and u-itliln the space called Quecn's Square of toldalie, but Gillett's Lyc is recorded almost on every pole. Ita man's hands and face are soiled by dustjietc., he is reminded almost on every side of Wei.- comc Soap, Sunlight Soap, Comfort Soap, Eclipse Soap, Pearline and Baby's/Own Soap. If travellers are driving along the road to Charlottetown and feelallttle dry, here again the poles remind them that they can get Haszard's Tea,Prlmrose Special Tea, Vim Tea, Union Blend Tea, Liberty Tea, Tiger Tea and Red Rose Tea. _______ __ Ifaman needs tobacco here again is the advertised bill of far on the poles, Rod Fox Chewing Tobacco, Smoke Ern- pire Tobucco, Smoke Admiral Cigarettes, Ivy Plug Tobacco, Bobs Tobacco, Smoki Bulls Eye Plugs, Comet Tobacco, Red , Cloud Tobacco.

In many other cities by- lan-s have been passed to have wires pl1ici-ll under ground in tubes.

Bill- wliatcver may be the condition of tho pollein our City those in the Country are what one might say up against it.

Mn. Enrron. Some time since a child of mine aged 4 years whilst playing with others in n. loft fell through n door, a height of nine feet, headforemost on an iron pot, the ear of which entered the upper part uf the head over the ear, tearing at the same time the membranes covering the brain in such a manner as to expose that organ for therx- tent of2 inches long and 5 inch wide. A_ portion of thc brain instantly protruded larger than a pigeon's egg, on which each pulsation of the heart was distinctly visible. Surgeon Conroy (uncle of Dr. F. P. Conroy of Charlottetown) was shortly after in attendance, and removed the pro- truding portion with all the other parts tllllll lPP€l1l‘°d llkiured and also several small pieces of the skull which had sunk deep into the substance of the brain. dressed the wound and continued in close attendance. He has now the satisfaction to see his little patient enjoyment of per- fect health, mental and bodily after ¢_|,¢é lapse of some months.

Having exchanged our wagon for a high- wheeled gig (procured from a resident farmer) we proceeded, much against the advice of the owner of the gig, to attempt a crossing. It was nine 0`clock at night, the wind was blowing agale and it was intensely dark. ’l`he expected beacon light on the little Island was not to be seen. an untoward circumstance, due as we supposed to the misty darkness but we expected to seo it ator as we approached the other shore. The owner of the gig volunteered to bring his lantern to the beach so that it might serve as a guide to us from the rear. Mounted inseourely on alhlgh and nar- row scat, ill suppressed trepidntion, we made outilito the angly water with only the faint outline of the little island in front, and the lantern dimly burning be- hind us. lt was about the hour of low tide but he unexpected depth of water at our place of starting was disappointing. On -.ve wi-nf, peering into the darkness, hop- :ng to soon see a watchers guiding light, out no light could be seen. \Ve had two miles of writer to cross. Gradually thc faint light of the lantern faded from our view. Fortunately we had one of the best horses that ever wore a collar. She was a strong dapple grey more with lots of pluck and endurance. She seemed to size up the situation, itraining every muscle and forging along rith n. determination that seemed born .i reason. As we drew out further the water be- came deeper. The driver expressed the fear that the tide had not sufficiently re- ceded, (as is often the case in stormy weather) to nllow us to cross and that it might have already begun to flow. About this time we were nearing the middle of the stretch and it did not matter much whether we went on or turned back. The grey more still madly struggled on. Mnnya time had she crossed the "bar" but never under such trying `circum_ stances. Every now and again she would go down into a deep gully, almost beyond her depth, only to scramble out again with asnort from her drenched nostrils. Trusting our lives to the instincts o our noble beast, we kept straining our eyes for a glimpse of a friendly bank. At last the water began to get shallow- er: We could see the bushes on the little island, and finally after delving through deep pits, and riding over rough rocks, we made the shore, about half a ulile East-‘ of the usual place of landing. With many unexpressed,tbougl\ fervent. feelings of thankfulness, we made our way slowly to the paticnlfs home. Our drst greeting on entering was an expression of amazement from the pati- ent’sfatl\sr“Wl\cre in the name of good' ness dld you come fromi" said he, “You never crossed the "har" this nightf' “Yes we|did" said his son, “Well that beats all" said he.
