1t is said that the good roads COM
mittee of Massachusetts has struck
upon a very novel but effective man
ner of promoting its work. Instead OF
using the money at its disposal to
make continuous stretches Of good
reads as far as the money held out,
1t has ~alternated good roads with bad,
each being one mile in extent. Thus,
the driver hauling a heavy load to
market, spins merrily along for a mile
over ar admirable road, and then
strikes a mile of muck and mire. This
makes him swear, OF course, and when
he finally gets through 1t to the next
mile of good road, he appreciates it all
the more. The committee claims t.
this method 1t IA more easily and
rapidly u a general interest in
road improvement.

A witness in a murder case in Indi-
ana recently testified that the evening
before the tragedy he dined with the
victim, and the latter, on paying the
waiter, drew a 1ve-dollar bill from
a large roll containing fifty times that
amount. This statement suggested a
motive for the murder which had hith-
erto been incomprehensible. Future
civilization may emphasize the fact
that to offer temptation is as culpable
as the crime it incites. The mar who
needlessly opens rolls of money in puD-
lie places; the woman who displays
valuable jewels in street cars; the
merchant who thoughtlessly gives his
young clerk tempting opportunities for
peculation; the h~ousekeeper who trusts
without oversight all accounts to her
cook, arc not themselves wholly limo
cent when moral degeneration or 4
blasted character Is the result. Ostel-
tation, Incidence, too great leniency
open the downward path for natures
that are unwary or perverse.
