IS THE FARMER GUILTY?
He Has Been Charged With Opposing Pub
 lie Roads Improvcmcnt.

He Has Been Charged W Nlth opposing fuD-
 lie Roads Improvement.
 It has often been assorted that the main opposition to improved highways proceeds from those who would receive the largest benefit from thcm-namcly, the farmers
 Is this true? It becomes the duty of the American farmer to ask himself if there is the least basis for 0n assertion which throws upon him the chief Odium for a public condition which he is ever ready to condemn and blame, maybe upon his road overseer or county court.
 So far as the facts arc brought out it must be confessed that the farmer has been guilty at least of incXpicablc neg ligence of his own interest i'll doing nOth- ing to inauguratc q reform whose noces- sity he would be the last to deny. New York has road law adopted at nearly the same time as the Missouri law and similar to it ill many respects. Like the Missouri law, however, 1t must be rat flied by the counties before becoming effective and this feature has operated to mako it practically dead letter. In Missouri the case is similar, and if anything worse A law has remained upon the statute books for nearly a year, which, if rightly applied, might have led to the construction of hundreds of miles of first class roads, Yet this law today, by reason of the indifference or opposition of some one, is to all intcntS and purposes an unknown thing.
 If the farmers are responsible for this state of affairs either ill New York or Missouri, 1t is time that they were walk ing up. The benefit to the farmer of good roads is more than double their benefit to any other person. To others 1t may be d question of pleasure and incl dentally, through tho increased value of real estate and growing population of desirable residents of business To the farmer it is a matter of business pre- emincntly. If pleasure and convenience come ill, they are only incidental There is much talk of tho 'prohibitivc' cost of good roads, but any shrCwd business man or investor after weighing the facts on each side, would be willing to pay twice the amount if necessary and have good roads.
 In all probability the farmer is not wholly to blame for the prevailing in difference to road improvement, Whcth- CT Inc is or not there is glorious oppor- tunity before the American farmer to prove to the toWnsman that he is not d mossback, dead to his own interest, but live, progressive member of society The way for him to do it is to take the lead in road reform himself and never turn back until the desired end is reached -kansas City Times.

Descrintinn of a Village Choir.

Dr. "Westminster" Bridge, at the end of musical lecture in London, gave an account of his experiences of village choir in Suffolk. The local talent was thus described: "A few boys who scared rocks. a blacksmith whose tenor voice was as metallic in sound as his anviB a boy alto who had in his youth, it was reported, swallowed a whistle, which apparently had lodged in his larynx and helped to produce sounds of a most un- earthly character, and miller who had five low notes, and only five, which had always to fit into the chant or hymn be- ing sung and which made a sort of rumbling accompaniment, not unlike the sound of his own millstones, The rock boys came and went, though the miller sang on forever.

SENATOR HARRIS very cleverly outwitted the republican senators this week and put an end, for the present at least, to republi can filibustering to delay the tariff debate. He made bluff of intending to offer a resolution providing for meeting at II o'clock and sitting until each day. This frightened the republicans and they made the proposition that for week the senate take up the tariff bill at o'clock and con- tiuue Its debate without roll calls or other interruptions until o'clock. This was exactly doubling the time that had pre- viously been devoted to the tariff bill and being more than the democrats expected to get without a struggle was promptly &C., c pt, d Senator Harris is perfectly will ing that this agreement should continue in Then he will begin to put on the screws in earnest, to bring the debate to an end, beginning by adding an hour day to the sittings and continuing until they are con- tinuous. compelling the republicans to keep a speaker on the floor at all times.
 THE foul strong men. Sandow, Attila. J. w. Kennedy and Louis St Cyr, whose names are in everybodys mouth, have each spoken on the value of exercise for the weak Sandow believes that there is only one absolutely curative remedy, and that Is exercise. Not that people should ovtrtax their physical energies, for the lighter the exercise to begin with the bet ter Never strive to do what you cannot perform without extreme effort. Attilas advice is to study the problem of health and strength as you would profession. Study yourself. Exercise mildly, con- stantly and judiciously both inside and outside. While some people are stronger than others, he maintains that man has it in his power to improve his physical con- dition. Kennedy believes that the reason that men are not so strong now as they used to be is due to the way they live. Learn to walk, run, box, wrestle as you would problem in arithmetic. Cultivate every muscle of the body. If you have any disease of the heart, lungs or kidneys, judicious exercise is sure to ameliorate if not entirely cure it. But remember that too much exercise is liable to prove more harmful than none. St Cyr's advice is much the same. All warn against over eating.

Chief Ouanal Parker.

Chief Quanal Parker of the Comanche Indians possesses some odd traits of character. He occupies, with his five wives. handsome house of 30 rooms near the reservation, and whenever he leaves for journey he turns his wives out of doors because they "have no more sense than to let the house take fire and burn down in his absence. Quanal is 42 years old, very rich and inclined to adopt the ways of civilization to the ex- tent of wearing its cloths, driving a team of fast horses and serving on his table the best that the market affords.

sometimes they lie between walls of
