Fifty Miles to Market.

1t is not an uncommon thing in
France to see farmer 40 or so miles
from home in wet weather with a heavy
load. If he sees prospect Of a three
days rain, he puts his tarpaulin over
his load, cover over his horses and q
waterproof coat ON and starts off to mar
ket. He may go 80 miles before he finds
market that suits him, Or he may
know i'll advance just where he is going.
You do not often see anybody driving so
miles through rainstorm in tho United
States to find market for load of
hay, but it is not at all uncommon to
see farmers wagons 40 or so miles from
home in France. They choose the wet
weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just as good then as at any time

A FIGHT WITH A LYNX.

Jim Berry Had Desperate Struggle With
Savage BObcat.
The ugliest appearing animal that
ever walked log, killed rabbit or
fought trap is the lynx, which is just
as ugly as it looks ten months in the
year and somewhat uglier during the
other two. Not only will the lynx fight
anything that walks the woods, but it
will also tackle visitor from the clear
ings, be he man or dog or half grown
calf, if the occasion offers.
Jim Berry was hunting up in Maine,
about 40 miles north of Greenville,
when he and his friend suddenly came
upon the carcass of caribou which
bear was eating. The bear made itself
scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he
wanted to kill the BEAR Without say
ing anything to his friend he left camp
the next day and started for the carcass,
intending to watch it, in the hope that
the bear would return. He waited and
watched until about o'clock in the
afternoon, when he began to think Of
returning to camp. A soft football back.
in the woods-the crafty step of some
wild animal-just then sounded in his
ears. Pretty soon the bear was chewing
the caribou meat, and Jim could see it
plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun
and pulled the trigger, when the wab.
bling muzzle was pointed in what he
thought was the right direction. The
beast went down, and Jim started for it.
Then he stopped, with his mouth open.
The beast had leaped to his feet and
jumped sideways, with its back up.
Jim knew the yell, and he also recog-
nized the bumped back. 1t was wound
ed lynx spelling for fight. Not having
time to level his gun to shoot, the man
clubbed it, and the blow stunned the
cat little, but the beast got in rake
on the mans leg and tore his trousers
and hide too. Another frantic sweep of
the gun barrel laid the beast fiat, and
then revolver bullet killed the animal.
The buckshot had torn the top of the
lynx's head-enough to make it angry.

Proved His Love.

They were two working girls, and
they happened to meet the other day at
the restaurant where they eat luncheon.
The brunette ordered baked beans and
lemonade, and the blond selected fruit
cake and coffee. Tomorrow is pay day,

inquiring look of the other.

about Mary? She's resigned"

say, but Mary says he's intellectual.
She says
"oh, pshaw! You can't tell from
Mary"
"No; but Sadie's seen his photo
graph, and she says he wears glasses
'Does he? Well. Mary's lucky, if she
is redheaded. Why, he would just do
anything in the world for that girl"
"Humph!" said the brunette. "That's
the way she talks now, but you can't
tell thing about it until after they re
married.
"You can tell it easy enough in this
case. He's proved it already" said the
blond warmly.
'Said he'd die for her, I suppose,
returned the brunette scornfully. "Lots

her that her hair is golden?"

As the Doctor Sees 1t,

Now the busy, busy doctor
Gives his whiskcrs to the breeZes,
Speeding hiiskly through the byways
Where the patient chokes and sneezes
Now he glows as vagrant sunbeams
Shake the dew with soft impacture,
And the day is gently breaking
In n comninuted fracture.
And he chucklcs as he watches
Brooklets leaping, mad and merry,
Every crystal shaking promise
OF Affections pulmonary.
Slender youths fcstoon the branches
Where the cherry red and warm is,
And in noble thought he sewers
An appendix vermiformis.

Dcwy ferns i'll rocky station,
Rear themselves as silent pledges
OF "a future dislocation.
All day long the sweaty whcelmen
Pass him by i'll each direction,
While he shakes through all his being,
Chuckling, Cardiac affectionl"
Thus he ponders, pleased and perky,
Where the zephyr in its flight is
Spilliug wine in cheeks of roses,
Also helping on neuritis.
All day long so fits his fancy
Till the dusk clips round the aster
And the sun is slowly setting

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
The Burden of Their Cost Should Be
Alike on All the People.


1t has been estimated that 500, O00,-
900 tons of far.l produce are hauled to
market annually in the United States
and that the cost of marketing it is 50
per ton, Or just about $1,000, 900, 600.
This is not money paid out but is the
value of the time spent by farmers with
their teams i'll marketing crops or what
these men and teams would have earned
if they had been hired for cash to do
this amount of hauling. The secretary
of the farmers national congress and
the United States department of agri-
culture agree i'll estimating that about
60 per cent of this vast amount, or
5000, 900, 600, would be saved each year
if farmers were able to do this hauling
over good roads.
This, then, is the amount of the an
nual mud tax to which we have been
submitting, says the Cedar Rapids ia. }
Gazette. Railroads. telegraphs and
steamboat lines have been assisted by
the states and subsidized by the govern
ment, but nothing has been done for
the common country road. The farmers
alone have had to build country roads,
without assistance from the cities, from
wealthy corporations or from the state.
Every citizen will be benefited by the
construction Of good roads, directly and
indirectly, and every taxpayer should
contribute his share to their cost No
wonder the farmer opposes the good
roads movement, if he alone is to stand
the expense. He has rightly suggested
that he should be assisted through the
medium of state road tax, under sys-
tenn of state aid, as now employed in
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachu-
nattS

Prices in Active Stocks Scored an Average
 Net Loss of 3-4 Per Cent

Prices in Active Stocks Scored an Average
 Net Loss of 3-4 Per Cent.
 New York, April 30.-The prices of the active railway stocks scored an av- craze net loss of about a4 per cent. to- day, which is probably fair measure of the influence upon the stock market of the heavy shipments of gold to Europe by to- morroW's steamer, Some of the losses were heavier and some were less, but it was because they were influenced by special causes. Bear sen- timent pervaded the market quite gen. orally, but the dealings were most strictly confined to professional trad ing.
 Transactions were small and uneven y distributed. Only Sugar was dealt in to an amount of 10000 shares, and the total sales were less than 100000 shares. The fluctuations were narrow and Out side interest in the market was abso- lutely dead. The condition for Ameri- can securities was equally dull. The volume already reached by the gold shipments Is unquestionably surprise and a disappointment to all holders of securities.
 The withdrawals of gold from Lon don for Austria and Japan had prepar- ed banks. The low price of which sterling bills are selling indicates that some transactions are being made, but the large volume of the shipments shows, also that there must be legiti- mate demand for remittances to meet adverse exchange growing out of trade conditions To-morrows shipments will be S4,O0O,OO0, making the total for the week $6,677 ,000.
 Further shipments of from $750,OO0 to $1, 100000 are already announced for next Tuesday. That this has created a feeling of uneasiness among capitalists is obvious from the barometer of the stock exchange to-day. The heaviest declines were in the coalers and some of the industrials. New Jersey Central lost 1&, Lackawanna 15s, and Reading common and second preferred a point each. Leather preferred and Rubber also suffered to the extent of 1A and Tobacco, Rubber preferred and West ern Union declined point each.
 In the railway list Northern Pacific showed the heaVleSt decline of 112 and the preferred stock came next with 19s. Hooking Valley fell 1A to 11a, the low est in the record of the stock Bur lington, Louisville and Nashville, Lake Shore. Omaha and Lake Erie and West ern each fell a point. There was a fractional rally at the close which made net declines somewhat less than these figures Pacific Mail was an exception in the market and displayed sufficient strength in the closing dealings to es- tablish a net gain of point. Standard Oil sold to-day at 300.
 The bond market ruled depressed in sympathy with the heaviness of the share speculation. The losses. how ever, were not material except in re- mote cases. Governments were active and firm, with sales of s14l,OOO.
