AIr. Farris and Good Roads.

In the September number of the

a plea for good roads. 1t is Mr.. Far

be employed on the public roads of
Missouri. He states that for num-
Der years he has entertained the idea.
The constitutional limitation On taxa
ton stands in the way of increased
appropriation for road improvement,
and it is this stubborn fact that led Mr.
Farris to a consideration of the prac-
ticability of utilizing convict labor. II

sideration of the last general assem-
bly, on the suject," he says but
there seemed to be good many
objections, chiefly that the expense to
the counties might exceed the benefit
derived, SO 1 at that time aban-
doned the idea. / am yet of the opin-
ion that with proper thought and wise
legislation the idle convict in the PEN
itentiary may be used to good pur-
pose in making good roads, and in that
way their labor would not come in
competition with the honest laborers
of the state, who form the bulwark of

A HERO'S REWARD.
President Mckinley Gives an APP
pointment to an Anderson
Vile Prisoner.

Columbus, O., May 21.-President Nc
Kinley has made one appointment to
which not even the most rabid Mug,
wump will object. The recipient of that
appointment, a Champaign county MIN,
passed through Columbus the other DAY
on his way to Washington to thank the
President personally. 1t was through
ex-Secretary of State Samuel NJ. Taylor
that Maj. Mckinley heard of the exist
ence of the appointee. During the ma
jor's first term as governor, he spoke at
a @. A. r. campfire in Northern Ohio.
There were several in the Columbus
party, including Lieut.-Gov. Harris and
Secretary Taylor, who spoke after the
governor.
Taylor was not a soldier and felt awk-
ward in trying to address veterans. SO,
in lieu of a Speech he told story about
a man in his county, q private in the
Ninety-ffth Ohio Volunteer infantry.
He told Of the incarceration in Ander
a fellow private of his company; how
both wasted away under the Anderson
vile ordeal. The Champaign county
mans friend was weaker and near to
dying on the day when list of prisoners
to be exchanged was read out. The
crowd of skeletons strained their ears,
each with the fierce hope of hearing his
name. The Champaign county mans
name was read, but Fred compressed his
lips and did not answer. The list was
finished and Bills name was not OIL it.
Then only did Fred's lips relax. He said
quickly: bill, answer to my name.
You can't stand this. I'll pull through"
Bill did and was exchanged. Nine
months after Fred, weighing ninety
pounds, was exchanged. He had
weighed $50 when captured.
On the way back from the campfire
the governor said: Taylor, / wish you
would write out that story and let me
have it." Taylor did so. and the major
used it in his speech at Grants tomb on
Memorial day. 1894.
Not long before the Inauguration Sec
rotary Taylor was in Canton when the
President-elect remarked: by the way,
Taylor, what's become of your Ander-
sonville prisoner" Taylor told McKin-
ley what Fred was doing and added:
