oo0o Instances q tAo 80eaey e Obeylag
Q0sse Orders.
Tho London Spectator lately had q
clever article entitled '"The Tyranny OF
Coincidence" Tho example shown il
Of lady who was driving outside of
Athens. When the horses were halted
one of tho team refused his oats. The
Greek coachman insisted that tho
horse was under spell. Tho young
Euglish lady had IN ''evil eye" The
man told Miss Symonds to spit-that
was the only cure. The young woman
was forced to 60 through the unlady-
Ike performance. and At once the horse
took to his feed. 1.-THE coincidence
x1vited the chains Of superstition upon
the driver tighter than ever" Many
condolences of similar character
must occur to tho reader. Here IL Q
case: A child was told to put four
leaf clover in his left shoe, and was as
sured "that he would be sure to find
something." Tho little boy did 10, and
had hardly moved out Of his tracks in .
large grass7grown pasture before he
found an old halfdollar Of an ancient
date, evidently lost years before. The
child was not superstitious, and FORUM
ately the parents were not. The matter
OF coincidence was explained to him,
and among other things he was plenti-
fully supplied with tour-leaf clovers,
but he never found anything. The
origin Of superstition associated with
auulets or any material objects must
owe its being to Just such condolences.
Among those who arc not educated IL
may be that tho tyranny Of coincidence
does exist, but It should not hold with
those having sound minds. We all
have, however, dark chamber In our
braana, and 1t Il there that the owls
and bats Of superstition flap their
wings.

FARM AND GARDEN.
SYSTEMATIC WORK.

without Il Our Country Roads WIN Nsvss
Re Improved.
It seems as If there had been enough
said in the farm papers to convince
everyone that there should be an Or
ganized movement for good roads by
those who live in the rural districts, in
every part of the country. The costli-
est item the American farmer has to
pay is the cost of bad roads to him. 1t
is an axiom that the best road is as
bad q the poorest part of it, because
q load that cannot be taken across tho
poorest part of road or up the steep
est grade on it cannot be transported
over it. This being the case it behooves
everyone who uses the country roads
to interest himself in movement for
the betterment of them in the most
available manner.
In Ohio there are as good roads as in
any state in the union, and there are
those that are as bad as any that can
be found anywhere. In most of the
southwestern part Of the state stone
roads are the rule and there is no time
of the year that the roads are bad.
The stone bottom and the easy grades
make it possible to haul heavy loads
over them at all seasons, and those who
live in this part of the state could not
be prevailed on to give up the good
roads which have added to the value of
their farms much more than it cost to
build the roads along them In
those parts of the state where the roads
are rivers of mud during = great part
of the winter the only objection raised
to making the roads good is the cost of
them. Until this fear of paying the
cost of the improvement is done away
with, not mech can be done, as any
proposition to improve will be voted
down. It is much the same in other
states. Where good roads have been
made those who paid for them are sat
isfied that they are worth more than
they cost, while in those sections where
the roads are liable to be bad after q
wet spell the item of cost prevents any
improvement being made.
Much can be done in the way of i'm
proving the roads by revision of the
road laws and putting the work that is
done on those places where it will do
the most good. If but short distance
was made good each year, it would not
be very long until the main roads could
be made fairly good at no greater ex-
pense than is now put on them each
year.
Massachusetts, has taken the lead in
this matter and has appropriated $780,
600 for the purpose of making start.
A highway commission has been ap-
pointed and experimental work begun
in several counties, and already the
benefits of systematic work are begin
ming to show result in a gratifying
manner.
Once the farmers of the country real
ize how much they lose by being mud
bound for several months each year
they will take hold of this matter in
earnest. AS it is, they must market
their crops when they can. With good
roads they could market them when
they found it to their best interests to
do SO. The wear and tear of teams,
vehicles and harness is very large
item to be counted in the cost of bad
roads, not to mention the extra work
they make by making small loads neces-
sary. Good roads are mark of civili-
zation that is lacking in too many
places in our country-Springfield co.,

TALKED ON FORESTRY.
Senate Committee Is Preparing
for n Fuller Discussion.

Senate Committee Is Preparing
for n Fuller Discussion.
The senate committee on forestry
took up several bills yesterday. The
first was Senate File As, introduced by
Senator Alien. 1t provides for fire
commissioner, fire wardenS, penalties,
duties of railroad companies in prevent
ing forest fires and disposition OF the
fines. Senator Allen appeared before
the committee and explained the differ
ent bills before the committee. He
said that no one would dispdte
the necessity OF adopting some measure
to prevent forest fires, and the only
question was as 70 methods. At pres
eut there is no appropriation enabling
officials to take steps towards prevent
ing tires. Tie present laws are Ill such
shape as not to be effective. Senator
Aliens bill provides that the fire com
missioner shall be appointed by the
governor. Senator Allen SAID that the
people in The timber district did not
care who was appointed so long as they
we've sure that he would do effective
work. He did not favor placing the
power IN the hands Of the secretary of
the forestry association as provided for
in one bill. He took deep interest in
the matter because he came from
town that was so situated that it could
be destroyed just as Hinckley was de-
stroyed. The present secretary OF the
forestry association might be all right.
but there was nothing sure as 10 Ills
successor whenever he gave up the
office for any reason.
r zen. Andrews appeared before the
committee to answer any questions re-
garding which he. was primarily +
sponsible for. He explained the laws
that were III force in other states in re-
spect to forestry. The Allen Dill con-
tanned the best features of these other
laws, with what was suggested by
criticism and experience. 1t met with
general approval of lumbermen and
railroad officials, and it WAS important
to secure their cooperation.
The members Of the committee
looked with favor ON the bill, but
thought that it was not stringent
enough. Senator Stevens and others
thought that the offenses mentioned in
the bill should be made subject pen
ally.
A number of parties desired to be
heard Oh the matter. and no action was
taken yesterday, except to order the
bill printed, together with forestry
report which Senator Allen submitted,
a compendium of the laws Of different
states on forestry, and the discussion
had on forestry at the st. Paul Com
mercial club.
All Of these will be printed in pam.
phlet form if the recommendation OF
the committee shall be adopted, and the
whole matter referred back to the
same committee for further discussion,
and to report on the best means of Sc
curing much. needed protection of
forests etc,
