Tells the Story.
All advertisements of Hoods Sarsanarilla
like Hoods Sarsaparilla itself, are honest.
We have never deceived the public, and
this with its superlative medicinal merit,
is why the people have abiding confidence
in it, and buy Hoods Sarsaparilla almost
to the exclusion of all others.
Customers Want Hoods.
"We order Hoods Sarsaparilla in large
quantities and it is the only blood purifier
which druggist can buy in large quanti-
ties without risk. It is selling very rapidly
and customers who buy it once are sure
to call for Hoods the next time. We be-

Grant Drilling the Home Militia.

Grant left West Point in midsummer
and spent his furlough in Bethel and
Georgetown. He was invited by the off
GERS of the militia to drill the troops at
general muster" which took place at
Russelsville during August of 1914.
William Wilson and Peter Wamax are
two of the few witnesses living who re-
member the splendid occasion.
1t impressed itself ineffaceably on
young Wilson's mind because it seemed
wonderful, even revolutionary, to see
young lad such as Cadet Grant looked,
ordering the pompous old officers about.
HE looked very young, very slender
and very pale.
''He was dressed in long blue coat,
with big epaulets and big brass buttons,
and his trousers seemed to be white,
though they may have been light gray.
He wore a cap and a red sash around his
waist, and he rode his horse in fine style.
81 was particularly struck with his
voice-that is, his way of using it. The
old men barked out their commands
You couldn't tell what they said. Noise
seemed to be their idea of command,
but Grants voice was clear and calm
and cut across the parade ground with
great precision. 1t was rather high in
pitch, but it was trained. I could tell
that, though was only boy. "-Ham-

CONVICT ROADBUlLDERS.
They Have Proved Great Success Oh
North Cardinals Highways.

They Have Proved q Great Success on
North CsrOlina's Highways.
North Cardinals experiment in the
employment Of convicts in road build
ing has been very satisfactory, both in
point of efficiency and economy and in
the health of the convicts. One aston
ishing discovery in the experiment is
that 1t costs less by about 6 cents day
per convict to maintain the prisoners
when at work on the roads than when
confined in Jail. the basis of the calcu-
lation being the returns from 80 coun-
ties. Being offered certain inducements
in the way of reward or shortening of
term if they remain at their posts and
faithfully discharge their duties, the
convicts are employed on the roads
much as hired labor would be, under
the control of foreman, without any
guard. They are even allowed to re-
main at their homes from Saturday
night to Monday morning.
The result of this astonishing expert
ment, which has been in operation for
year, has been, according to Professor
Holmes, secretary of the Road Associa-
ton of North Carolina, that mot con-
vict has attempted to escape" 1t is
also officially reported that as laborers
the convicts have been 'muoh more eff
Gent than the labor which can be hired
at ordinary prices. '-Exchange.

The Country Roads,

The pathway Of life may be narrow and steep,
But the road through the country is sleeper.
The pitfalls and snares that beset us deep,
But the mud that surrounds us is deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges and mud
holes for drains
And hard heads and powders for gravel
And broken down buggies on hillsides and
plains
Give warning, like ghosts, as we travel
Lark horses, by work and abuse broken down,
Gaze at us from roadside and stable
Young men reaching wistfully out through
the town
Or seeking its portals when able;
Deserted farmhouses, the fences decayed
And the breeze through the weed patches
blowing
Where once happy children rejoiced as they
played
Hide and seek when the field corn was
growing.
What Joy for the youth, as his longings expand,
In his life so restricted and narrow,
His prospect, mid all opportunities grand,
But to follow the pillow and the harrowi

EASY TO GET GOOD ROADS.

Keep the Rosdbed Dry and Use Wide
Tired Wagon Wheels.
A good roads convention was held at
Cannon Falls recently which was nota.
BILE for the practical manner in which
the subject under consideration was
handled, says the Minneapolis Tribune.
No city speakers were imported to en-
Tighten the farmers upon the theory of
road building and to suggest legislation
looking to future large expenditures for
costly roadways, but the neighbors as
sembled proceeded to show how the
roads could be greatly improved with
the means already available. The main
point brought out was the necessity Of
thorough surface draining by effective
ditching. The roadbed must be rounded
SO that the water will run off readily,
but the best material for surfacing de-
ponds upon the locality and the charac-
ter of the soil. If the road surface can
be kept dry, any locality may have good
roads at comparatively small cost all
the year round.
incidentally the subject of wide YER
sus narrow tires was taken up, and
David Valentine, a practical road build
er, stated that he had used both wide
and narrow tired wheels, and his ex-
perience was such that if he were to
purchase a new wagon he would not
take narrow tired vehicle if he could
get it at half price, as he could haul
double the load with the same expen-
diture Of power OH wide tire. Where
the roads are dry and hard there can be
no doubt of the superior economy Of
wide tire. not only in the matter of
hauling the load, but in preserving the

tomato Guns Are Modern Features.
1t seems to be the general opinion
among United States army officers that
the development of military science in
the immediate future will be in the di-
rection of simplified Notifications, great
er utilization of the bicycle and Che ex-
tended use of some form of automatic
gun. The modern army engineer sees
little use in raising great mounds of
earth such as used to be done when
hasty and even permanent works were
needed. The bigger the earthwork the
greater the mark for the enemy's guns
A hole in the ground has been the theo-
retical formula for fort building, and
now that we possess fieldpieces with
disappearing carriages it can be prac-
tically carried out. A gun that is capa-
BILE of rising out of an innocent Rocking
hole, pouring forth great volleys of
death dealing bullets and then sinking
out of sight, leaving hardly a trace of
its presence and certainly nothing to fire
at, is formidable enough to invest the
new theory with all needful logic. 1t
would be to an enemy what the hollow
road near Waterloo was to the cuiras-
siers of Napoleon.
The rifle of the future will be the au-
tomato rifle. This is the conclusion of
military men not only of this, but of
other countries. General Willie, Ger

arms says decisively that it will ulti-
mately be the rifle in general use by the
armies of the world. Its particular point
of merit is its capacity for doing away
with the mechanical operation of load
ing. In effect it does it's OWN loading,
leaving the soldier free to attend to the
business of firing, thus concentrating his
attention on his opponent and rendering
his aim surer.
AS pointed out by General Willie, the
force of the recoil of the automatic gun
is employed for charging and closing
the brecch, and the firer has only to let
off the shot in order again to load the
weapon, so that the number of shots dis
charged without an effort is precisely
the same as the total contents of the
magazine. The only comparatively
weak part of the automatic gun lies i'll
its springs, but, as they have been found
after tests made in Austria to withstand
the wear and tear of from 10, 600 to H.,
900 discharges, this does not count for
much.-New York Sun.

COST OF GOOD ROADS.

Built In an Illinois Town at an Expense
of Only 1921 Per Mile.
A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean submits the following figures as
to the cost of building good road from
the start:
The figures are obtained from actual
road work in the town of Sugar Grove,
Ills, covering three years. Previous
to that time we had used gravel ex-
olusively for IS years and had good
gravel roads, but they would not stand
prolonged soaking transforms. Fortu-
nately our gravel deposits were in many
cases full of cobblestone, and it was
continuing nuisance, which we tried
every way to abate but the right way,
until stone crusher was suggested.
This solved the problem perfectly and
we have been usiSg the crusher now
three years and have the finest roads in
the state of Illinois.
To begin at the bottom. With two
men and from four to six horses we
grade roadbed 25 feet from ditch to
ditch for $50 per mile ready for the
gravel or broken stone. We grade side

using the crusher is to install in the pit,
putting all the material, sand, gravel
and cobblestone, through its jaws. If
the crusher is run to $40 revolutions
minute and its jaws kept supplied, it
will turn out yard of material every
five minutes. A broken stone roadbed
eight feet wide and six inches deep will
represent 7S2 yards. Cost Of crushing,
including 10 cents to the owner Of the
pit and hauling it a mile, SO cents per
yard; 7s2 yards multiplied by SO cents
gives 1891 per mile; add $50. cost of
grading, and we have $421 and good,
hard road from the bottom up for
mile.
Suppose nine inches in depth of mate
rial be considered necessary; then 1,172
yards to the mile will be required, and
the cost, adding $50 for grading, will
be increased to $616. If these figures be
correct, what is the use or necessity Of
estimating roadbuilding at 81, 900 and
$4,000 mile? By the use of the almost
perfect road machinery, which can be
had at cost of 5000 for crusher and
5000 for grader, am sure highway
can be built at the cost above mentioned,
IT the material, sand, gravel and cobble-
stone is as handy as 1t is In Sugar
Grove, Ills. The voters of Sugar Grove
have had sense enough to elect from
year to year capable highway commits
sioners Intelligent, skillful commits
sioners and improved machinery will re-

ROYAL HUNT TOMFOOLERY.
What 1t Costs to Maintain the Famous
Sport.

Sport.
A year or two ago, says the editor of
London Truth, took up the matter of
the royal buckhounds, for l have always
thought that anything with less of the
redeeming feature of sport than to cart
a tame deer to some spot turn it out,
hunt it with dogs, and, having hunted
it down, put it back in its cart for an
other days ''sport" cannot well be con-
ceived. When I was engaged i'll this
crusade, received many letters assur-
ing me that the deer like being pursued
by dogs, although how the animals con-
veyed their singular idea of pleasure to
the writers of the letters was not ex-
planned to me. Now that the bishops
have joined the crusade, we may hope
that the cruel tomfoolery of this royal
hunt will soon cease.
The country pays the costs. The sal
airy of the master of the buckhounds
(e1, 200 per annum) is always enjoyed
by a nobleman, the occupant Of the post
changing with a change of ministers.
Besides this there are salaries to hunts
men, whips and others, the purchase
and keep of horses and hounds, etc 1
should suppose that the total outlay
must be about 5000 per annum. This
is betrayed, it is true, from the civil
list But when the amount needed to
maintain the sovereign was investigated
in order to arrive at the total necessary,
this expenditure was included in the
estimate.
1t is suggested by the bishops that the
quarry should cease to be deer and
should henceforward be red herring
But the idea, as an attribute of majesty,
of the sovereign keeping lot of dogs to
run after red herring is childish.
