She lived for livings sake, for love and Joy,

Till eve and through the night till Joys would

And leave the heart with quiYerings strange

Or white rose falling from a easement down
Into the black, dank mire of the old town
A woman came. a being fair as love
The love we dream OF when for rest we pray
With soft, deep eyes, where wondrous lights
would play,
Now grave, now gay, as tenderness might
move,
Or love or pity or the pain suppressed
of some swift sorrow that the eyes confessed,
Although the lips neer hardened TO reprove
The Wild soiled daughter Of the goddess town,
Like white bud breaking from its dark green

VIRGINIA WANTS GOOD ROADS.

Plans For Highway Improvement to BE
Submitted to the Legislature.
The Virginia good roads convention
at its recent session adopted the follow
ing plan, to be presented to the next
general assembly: We favor the adop-
ton of road by which all the classes
shall bear the burden Of taxation for
road purposes in proportion to the ben
efits derived by which sta 3 aid will be
extended to the improv nent Of the
main roads under equitable conditions;
by which the counties shall be allowed
to issue bonds for the permanent i'm
provement Of the public roads under
proper conditions and restrictions; by
which both state and county conylcts or
convicted prisoners shall be employed in
improving the public roads; by which
the road work will be placed under the
control of the boards of supervisors or Of
special road boards Of the respective
counties and by which the actual super
vision Of the road work will be lntrust-
ed to county engineers, thus consolldat-
ing the authority and responsibility and
inSuriug intelligent supervision.
The report then recommends in de
tail state tax Of five-tenths If ! per
cent en- the valuation Of real and per-
sonal property for a state road fund;
that a similar amount be appropriated
by the supervisors Of each county CT per
manent road Improvement; that state
highway commissioner be appointed by
the governor, and that the present laws
in regard to graduates III engineering
education at the state expense be amend
ed so that graduates may serve as coun-
ty engineer for two years, when employed
by the board of supervisors, instead of
teaching for two years. Provision is also
made as to the form Of petition by land
owners for road improvement assessment
against property owners inl portion to
benefits derived, etc, and the amount
to be paid out of the state fund.

Editors Favor Good Roads.

The Sacramento Valley Press league
at its last session adopted the following
resolution: We urge the immediate in
augurat.4L and methodical spreading Of
a good road system throughout the val
ley. Better one mile of good road this
year than ten miles ten We, $ from now.
One of the greatest burdens upon the
taxpayers of the valley is the present
unsystematized patchwork upon roads.
We recommend that every effort be
made TO secure permanent highways
built according to proper plans and
specifications, providing for established
grades determined by competent road
engineers and the work TO be done I'M
der skilled engineers. To the end that
good roads may be secured, we favor
the issuance Of bonds by the counties i'll

may be secured to the present generation
and by which posterity may be forced to
bear ID portion Of the cost az Well rs ell

deem bonding far cheaper than the pres

child was told to print on its slate (they
were too young to write) a sentence con-
tanning the new word, after just looking
up its definition in the dictionary. Little
Harry, for that was the child's name

definition was "without a name," so this

strange that these ministers do not see
that when they begin to show the weak

only showing the imperfections of their
own church members and indirectly adj
vertising their own inability to guide

Water shoald not be allowed to stand
alongside the road, as it softens the

the roads should be built to carry off the
water, and therefore the advice of the

in the construction Of the road. Wher-
eYer the natural drainage is across the
