iie young? Don't that make business for
the horse raiser? Certainly it does.
Horses haven't any souls. and when
they die that's the end of them.
What if bad roads do keep the young
folks at home? Aren't they better there
than to be gadding about the country
and getting into mischief? Why, blind
man could see that
Then the old man. Isn't he better
to be in town Arranging around a sa-
Icon? And then don't he get plenty of
rest when the roads are bad? What more
DO you want?
Suppose he could market his crops
when the prices were the highestl
Wouldn't he spend the money and be
just as hard up as ever?
Then suppose he could make O sum-
mer resort Of his farm. Wouldn't his
boys get big notions into their heads and
DO too high toned for the farm? And
wouldn't the women folks want to wear
their Sunday clothes every day In the
week and put on such airs that there
would be no living with them?
Then wouldn't the old man have to
keep on building additions to his house
to accommodate tho crowds Of city folks
who would overrun the place, tramp
down the grass, drink all the milk. eat
all the berries, fruit, eggs, chickens and
other truck and leave him nothing to
haul over the road TO market?
Then wouldn't he have to be putting
money in the bank and a-buying stocks
and bonds and all that foolishnessl
Then think of the temptation to specu-
late and lose all he had, and thereby
bring misery down on his family.
Yes, sir. This agitation is all wrongl
Just think, too, how monotonous it
would be to have the roads SO smooth
that the farmer couldn't use bad Ian
guage when his team happened to get
stuck in the mudl
No, sir, it will never do, and the
sooner this agitation ceases the better,
is the opinion of a believer in shs "good
old times Good Roads

4 remarkable Case.

The physicians of Monroe County, Pa,
are watching with interest a remarkable
ease. For eleven years a young daughter
of Morris Newhart, OF Stroudsburg, who
lives near the Fair Grounds. has been
living with Il bullet in her brain. Ply
sicians probed for the bullet without sue
cess. 1t looked as if death must claim
the little one, but still she fingered on.
For months she lay paralyzed. Her
eyes were blind and she could not hear.
Suddenly change came over the little
sufferer. Her hearing returned and she
was able to see. She grew and to all APP
pearances was healthy. Doctors mar
veled at the strange recovery, hut pre-
dicted that the first serious illness would
cause her death. Presently il came in
the shape of bad attack of scarlet
fever. The report of her death was
daily expected, bu; to the wonder of all
she lived through it and to-day she is as
healthy as ever, although still carrying
the bullet.
II is thought that the bullet by this
time has become incysted-thai is, sac
has formed around ii which may prevent
any return of the dangerous ailments.
Miss Newhart is now fifteen years of age.

pay on some technicalities. Suit was
brought las; June.
The case came up on Wednesday, and
was quickly disposed OF, the jury re-
manning out but five minutes. 4 YER
diet was found for Mr., Horner, and ne
viii receive, in about twenty days, three
fourths of the fail amount of insurance.
