the b. e. NJ. purchased the old franchise
of the Big Horn Southern and
secured the necessary legisla-

of the action. The proposition made to
the Crows at their council last week, to
which their consent was obtained with

right-of-way previously granted the Big

"Remem bering the privations, the
marches, the battles, the hospitals and
the prison pens which go to make up
those dreadful years which cost our
comrades their lives, we cannot agree
that Memorial Day is properly a day for
rejoicing, or that it should be entirely
given over to frivolous enjoyments.

untidy boy, and was often taken to task
for his carelessness and disorder. One

How to Get Good Roads.

It cannot be done unless the state gov
ernments cooperate in a way to insure
uniform effort and expenditure. Per.
haps the best way would be to utilize
the national government to the extent
of attaching professor of road engineer
ing to the agricultural experiment sta
tons in each state. Bulletins on the
best way to make smooth, hard road
would be as profitable as those about the
locust borer or the chinchbug. At any
rate, it does not matter how the informa.
ton is circulated. just so the farmer
gets it percolated through his brain that
he loses in actual cash hundreds of dol
lars year because of that horror-the
mud road.
1t has been suggested that the state
agricultural colleges should take the
matter up and add to their courses OF
study department in which roadmak.
ing is thoroughly and scientifically
taught. The young farmers who took
the roadbuilding course along with
their scientific agriculture could then
60 out and become road supervisors to
some purpose. There is so much inter
est in this vital subject that one may
hope Americans are actually awakening
from their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep by the
roadside. Mr.. Isaac B. Potters maya

Rare Relics Unearthed.

Four of the most remarkable relics
discovered have just been found in the
western Egyptian oasis Of Theba and
sent to the Louvre in Paris for exhibit
ton. They are plaster casts busts.
These busts originated during the brief
era of prosperity at the close of the Sec
ond and the beginning of the Third CEN
fury of our time. They are not, as it
would seem, detached pieces of statues,
but are complete in themselves. They
are masks used for a special class OF
mumniies, and like most of the Egyp.
tian curiosities come from the grave. The
departed members OF wealthy families
were provided not only with sepulchers.
but with a sort of arnor composed OF
several pieces, which completely incased
the dead body. The feet were thrust
into d pocket shaped affair like car
rage foot warmer, and separate pieces
were made for chest and neck, as we'll
as the hair, with IA mask for the face,
which often resembled the features of
the dead.-St Louis Post-Dispatch.
