Bowser, that the anniversary of our we'd
ding comes around pretty sOont"

been married IL years"
Yes, IL years.
Some men forget those things" con-
tinucd Mr.. Bowscr as he melted{ little
more, but never do. want to buy you
a gift of some sort, but as couldn't think
of just the thing 1 thought I'd ask you
about it. What shall it be?'
''Oh, but you are so kind, Mr.. Bowser.
AS to the gift, I'm sure you will get some
thing to please me-
II want to, of course, but I've been won
dcring if you wouldn't as soon accept $50
in cash. You can then buy what pleases
you best"
You dear, good MANI
well, want to do what is right, and
want TO make you happy. There's too
much neglect on the part of husbands
know men who never seem to think of
their wives
Yes, there are plenty SUCH"
''Ah, but that was a happy day when
we stood at the altarI'' exclaimed Mr.
Bowser after a moments reflection. You
looked like an angel that day, but no
handsomer than you have every day since. I"
Thank you, dear. You are so good, "
replied the blushing Mrs. Bowser.
Il think we have had as much happi-
ness as most of them, don't your
Indeed do
"Therc was nothing mercenary about
our marriage. 1t was love at first sight
and love all through. 1 don't remember
that we ever had lovers quarrel"
Just n little one, 1 believe" she re-
piled. though she regretted her blunder an
instant later.
What was that abOut'''
''Why-why-about Tom-Tom''-
"Oh, yes! That fool of Tom Brown
was hanging around you, and of course
objected. / remember now. The night
we made up asked You to be my wife.
Do you remember where we werc!'
Yes, dear. We sat on the veranda In
the moonlight. Not a word had been said
for a long timo when you suddenly knelt
at my feet and poured forth your impas-
stoned declaration of love"
What? What's that" exclaimed Mr..
Bowscr as he rose up. II knelt at your
fect!''
Yes, dear, just as the chcvalicrs of old

A Rude Awakening,

Beneath the shade of the apple tree
The maid in her hammock swung
And lent her ear to the melody
That the fcathered warblers sung.
II was n day and place for rest,
For the mercury scared high,
And the breeze scarce rippled the CLASSY
breast
OF the pool as II went by.
As she watched the swallows around her fly
She was dreaming n sweet day dream,
But she suddenly rose with n startled eye
And uttered a piercing scream.
What caused the fright of the maiden fairi
A grub in n coat of fur,
A squirming caterpillar there,
Had just got the drop on her.

GOOD ROADS RELIGION.
The Problem OF Easy Transportation Ha
Awakened Public Interest

The Problem OF Easy Transportation Has
Awakened Public Interest
The first need of civilized man is q
habitation. The second is n road. Man
cannot obtain TIL Scessities of life nor
indulge his greaaEi0ns instincts without
roads. And lsently this fact has be-
come so Imposed upon q people who
have lon <R<red from poor roads. and
who ardsfsltvcr meeting in one way or
another tho problem Of rapid and easy
transportatidn, that good roads have be-
come n sort Of religion, which every
body breaches, and Of which every one
hns a,diferent view.
hut In America, when every one be-
gins to talk about n thing, it means
tl1nt that thing Is destined to emerge
from theory into n fact. In short, We
are going to have good roads. The men
who ride wheels soy so, and the farmers
who market their produce say 50. and
economists say so, and engineers are
agreed The decision must now be made
rs to the most economical expcdicnt and
sensible way to construct them. Mean
while public opinion will have an OPP
portunity to grow, to formulate and TO
declare itself
And public opinion has no business
to lie dormant ON a subject which 50
directly affects the welfare of every
person in the country. Good roads are
one of the fundamental factors in the
prosperity of community. II You can
get to a place over one Id in half the
time IL took You to go over another
road, Il is evident which road you
Womb choose You would save hall
your time And time Is money. Your
none naking capacity would therefore
be increased by two. And IL your road
cost but 6po-fourth rs much to build
and one-fourth as much to maintain
your burden of taxation would be les
in proportion to the benefits received.
