The Gondueror Connnareh.


In southern archipelagos he fought the bloody
cannibal;
He'd skinned and tanned the crocodile and found
him very tannable;
Not 9 word of fear he'd uttered, not a word and
net a syllable,
When he killed no Bengal ttger, and he founa
him very killable.
He claimed his strength was very great, for bears
and lions suitable;
He used to boot the grizzly bear, and found him
very bootable,
He claimed In killing monstrous snakes that ne
was very capable,
NO boa constructor could escape. for he was unes
capable
Just then his wife came in and said. I'D think it
quite connmendahls

Governor Beaver: Zone supervisor lin
q township and cash taxes would be 4

A series Of state roads constructed to fol-
low old lines of highways should be sup
ported by the commonwealth.
Governor Ladd: ITO keep well built
roads ia good repair, under intelligent
supervision and single authority, is not
costly. A poor road is costly under all
circumstances
Governor Hill: '.These state roads
would not only prove of great eonven-
isslce and vast advantage to the whole
community. but would serve as object
lessons to the local authorities, the effect
OF which would necessarily tend to inn
prove the ordinary town highways and
prove Of inestimable benefit. It is not
believed that the people Of the cities of
the state would object to this improve
ment, but that, on the contrary, they
would hail it with pleasure

A PIea for Better Roads in New England.
New England seems to be pretty thor
oughly aroused to the Importance Of
good roads, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing portion Of an editorial which APP
peared recently in The Boston Globe:
II the farmers in the different towns
in New England would but stop to take
thought, and instead Of ssmendings
would thoroughly make over their roads,
they would find that this fundamental
improvement alone had greatly in
creased the value of their farms just as
they lie, without any increase in thecost
of their cultivation.
The reason for it is obvious enough.
Perfect roads are the equivalent of
bringing q farm SO much nearer the
market, and that is just what all farm
ers are eager to do. No computation
can be made of the waste of power to
which our farmers annually submit In
~lorsehesh, wagons, harnesses, time and
temper in worrying their way with load
ed teams from one town to another over
roads unfit for common travel.
~ VI OGA4oO IOcts HUT u ldy OUT anu
finish q truly good and s~erviceable road
at first, but it is by all odds the cheapest
in the end.
More than all, it is for the interest Of
the cities Of a state and the business that
supports them that the roads Of the state
should be made IN a substantial manner
and maintained in the highest state Of
Improvement. Avastly larger amount
Of produce Of all kinds would pour into
the several local markets if the distance
to the producers on the farms could be
practically shortened by the establish
ment Of good roads. The social and
other advantages may for the present be
left out of the account. The first adj
yantages are to the farmers, the towns,
the markets and the general business of
the cities. The town that will start out
to illustrate this fact in a practical way
will enjoy q distinction worth far more
than it will cost.

All Turned Around.

A Lowell young woman went to a churcf
of which she is not a regular attendant
and was politely shown into a pew. Soon
after a man made his appearance and i'm
mediately glared upon the visitor as if She
were an unwelcome intruder. He seated
himself with the air Of a proprietor anG
continued to stare at the fair stranger il
the most insolet manner.
Embarrassed beyond measure, the young
lady felt impelled to offer an apology, whick
she did in the following terms:

ALABAMA's ROADS.
A Lively Campaign for Their Improve
ment Is Being Carried On.

A Lively Campaign for Their Improve
nent Is Being Carried On.
Tho importance Of good roads is rea-
liked in Alabama as elsewhere, as is
shown by the following from the editorial
page of The Montgomery Advertiser:
Alabama must have good public
roads. They must be Eassable all the
year round. The future prosperity and
progress of the state requires it, the tax
payers demand it, and the members Of
the general assembly will be derelict in
their duty if they fail to consulnmate
some plan for the procurement of a thing
so essential to the growth and advance
ment Of this section. The road laws will
be the most important subject to be con
sidered by legislators"
A plea for new road laws, which con-
tails some good suggestions, is made by
''Alabama' in The Agricultural Journal
as follows:
The next legislature win be a farmer
legislature, no doubt. Generally farm
ers are practical men. Now let some
of them champion a road law through.
The trouble heretofore has been that as
soon as a man was elected he began at
once to plume himself for a second term,
and would do nothing which would
make him unpopular.
It will be the greatest service any
man can render his state to press
through a wise road law. If he is left
at home next time what matters it if
he got the law through?
I am sure after a trial of it for a few
years the people will crown him with
all the honor he deserves.
write this hoping to get the opinions
Of some of the wisest men.
Let it be settled that we will let out
the roads by contract.
To do this let a tax Of fifty cents a
year be placed IN every male from IS to
go, twenty-five cents on every horse,
mule. steer, wagon or other vehicle,
and ten cents on every acre Of land.
Let the contracts be let to men who
will give bond.
Let the changes in the road be de-
scribed, the grade, width, etc, in the
contract.
Let the parties pay the tax or work it
out at such prices as they and the con-
tractors may agree upon, all changes in
the roads to be agreed upon by a COM
mittee of citizens along the route and a
competent engineer employed by the
board of revenue. Many of our roads
We're made to run up and down very
steep hills; with a very little expense the
hills can be avoided and the roads made
no longer.
All the present laws discriminate in
favor Of the land owner. The man with
out a horse or cart is burdened as much
as the man who owns thousands of acres
and fifty head of stock. No wonder they
hate road making.
The suggestion above remedies this
and equalizes the burden.
With n good working many miles
of our public highways would not need
be touched again for several years
contractor could thus have more time
devote to bad roads.
The saving to the farmer and the in
crease in the value Of Property would
richly repay for all outlay in taxes.
Let something be done. Every winter |
our people curse 9he roads, and road
aud road laws; but when the
and summer come and dry them
off they forget their abuse. The condi-
lion Of our roads during winter and
is q disgrace to any people.

the heartless man before her size seemed
to transflx him with her look She was

party at your house" At these words
he opened wide his eyes and said: "Yes,
what Of it?" The woman continued:
There was present at that party o
handsome Englishman, and he caused o
quarrel by accusing you and your
friends OF cheating him."
"Yes," replied the merchant that is
so."
"Where Is the Englishman nowP'
asked tho actress.
THAT Is not in my power to tell; why
do you ask mep" said Mr. limerick
because at daylight Of the morning
yonr party broke up there was to have
been duel and since then the English
man has not been seen. You know, OF

he is soon found you and your friends
will have to account for him At pres
