This Years Reunion VIII BE Held in ST..
Louis.

ST. Louis may become the Mecca of ia
nous band of veteran pilgrims each year,
beginning with the present. The Society
of the Army of the Tennessee will hold
it's reunion for 1892 on Nov l6 and II in
that city, the home and the burial place of
the idol of the old army-General William
Tecumseh Sherman.
Last year the reunion was held in Chi
cago. because the society had arranged long
before General Sherman's death to parade
at the unveiing Of the Grant statue in
Lincoln park and to hold its reunion at the
same time, in order to please the veterans
from distance who would gather in Chi
cago for the ceremonies of the unwilling

ed chief will grow stronger among the sur
vivors and their descendants each year

additional incentive to the selection of St
Louis for future reunions.
During the coming reunion the society
headquarters will be at the Lindell hotel
where the business meetings will be held

Il am thoroughly convinced, said the
village doctor, that Farmer Peterson 5
life could have been saved if the roads
between here and Burton's Corners had
been as good as they might have been.
The distance is ten miles. 1t took young
Peterson half an hour longer than 1t
should have taken him to get here, and
me half an hour longer to drive there,
md the hour made exactly the differ
Cnce between life and death.
There is no reason to believe that tins
case was an isolated one. Time means
not only money, but often human life as
we'll. Country doctors are IN great
degree dependent upon the condition OF
the roads.
1t sometimes happens that the state OF
the roads is such that the physician
cannot reach some sickbed at all, and
/ this not as the result of a great natural
calamity, such rs flood or great snow
/ fall. but because the people whose busl-
ness it is to build and repair the roads
have not built them in such way that
they will remain fairly passable in CON
tinued wet weather.
There are many matters besides mere
convenience bound up in the question OF
good roads A general improvement in
them would not only add greatly to the
wealth of the people, but would make
their lives easier and sometimes 30
doubt longer. Youths Companion.

A Southern Idea.

Rock is the only thing. in my opinion,
that will make solid road in this part
Of Missouri. Our soil holds the water
till the heat or cold dries it up. Now,
boys, this is good time to talk, but a
poor time to work; hence we ought to
agree upon some plans and be ready to
execute them when we can work.
My idea is to first grade the roads up,
probably raising and draining the seepy
places with thing, where that is sutfi-
GENTLY large to carry off the water.
Then on these seepy, bad places put a
thick covering of crushed rock. think
we would then be on the right track for

On the evening Of the 10th the veterans
will be rendered II public reception at the
Germania theater and be welcomed to
Missouri by Governor Francis. The orator
of the society for the occasion will be Gen
eral j. NJ. SchoGeld, who served with the
veterans under Shcrman's lead while com
mander OF the Army of the Ohio. On the
evening of the 18th the society will hold
banquet at the lindell, and during the re
union will pay appropriate honors to Gen
eral Sherman's grave.
Sherman was the second president of the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee, and
held the Office from 1859 to the time of his
death. The vacancy was filled last year at
Chicago by the choice of General Granville

of the Tennessee in the battles around
Atlanta.

The arrival at San Francisco the other

battle does an old soldier, for she has made
not only the most remarkable but the
most successful trip on record. That this
should be done in these days when the
business is considered dead is great enough,
but in addition this little steam vessel OF
lightweight tons came very near making
the northwest passage without trying to.
April 49, 1890 the Mary ID. Hume left
San Francisco. In the nearly two and
a half years of her voyage she has taken
thirty weight whales, which yielded lOl,dOt
pounds of whalebone, worth $3.50, 900, and
brought down in addition 400 white, blue
and gray fox skins, all of the finest. The

THE WAGON ROADS OF AMERICA.
They Are No Better Today Than They
Were Fifty Years Ago

While improvements in every other di-
rection are being made and the farmers
everywhere are building better houses
and better barns, have better horses and
wagons, better tools and machinery Of
all sorts, and labor saving appliances in
the kitchen. the dairy and the field, the
roads by which they go to market remain
unchanged Take the country over, they
are no better today than they were fifty
years ago, and it is no exaggeration to
say that the wagon roads of America are
the worst in the civilized world. They
have cost enormous sums of money, spent
on them in a from hand to mouth way.
but they are little better now than when
first laid out by the pioneers that settled
the country

which is now simply thrown into the
mud. This is the sum expended upon
the reparation Of reads under the super
intendence, such as it is. of the roao
supervisors, and yet it is absolutely
thrown away, because the supervisors
have little or no engineering skill. and
the farmers work out their road taxes
in the most desultory and incompetent
way
But this vast sum is not all that is
lost-nor indeed fourth part of ito
the people. The farmers lose on their
horses, their wagons and their crops
enough money yearly to macadamize
the roads of the entire state. y good
wagon costs about eighty-five dollars
With good roads it will last twenty
wears. but with our roads as they are il
lasts barely ten years. The wear and
tear on harness and on the animals are
, equally great. On a good stone roaC
. team can draw ton at the rate OF
three miles an hour. On a dirt road il
, takes twice as long, and at the end tn,
