and thc.farmer will alike be benefited by
the improved highways. Tho farmer
seeking a market for his products takes
the always hard and smooth roadway,
and the towns gain by the frequent cx-
change Of commodities with their rural
neighbors.
In most Of the southwestern states the
roads are so wretched that railway 10

There are county seats left deserted for
weeks and sometimes for months by the
country people upon whose patronage
and trade the town depends, and for the
lack Of which business stands still and
industry is stagnant.
Good roads are an economy, and bad
roads are burden too heavy TO b. borne
II remains for the farmer, and the mcr
chant, and the mechanic to get together
and unite in keeping up the agitation Of
good roads and the education IF the rsc
pie until the thousands Of dollars an
nually paid in tribute to muddy roads
are saved to themselves.

MY dear brother" faltered the
CITY missionary with red whiskers
and a tremolo voice rs he reached
through the prison bars and fondled
the puzzle faced youth-'my dear

Again the missionary repeated his
questio, with even q greater depth
Of feeling

..Nawthin," replied the puzzled
faced youth as a flood of light broke
In on him. Il didn't do nawthin. But

And the puzzled faced youth scowled
ferocionly.
At first the missionary listened
with an expression Of panied aston
ishment not unmixed with awe. Be
wilderment followed, then q look Of
compassion, changing to righteous
indignation as the youth rounded of
his tale Of woe. Then the mission
ary hunted up the turnkey and said
It was downright shame to pen up
