COUNTRY ROADS.

The Cost of Their Construction should BE
Borne by the Whole Community.
A fact yet to be GENERALLY appreciated
is that better roads tend toward the
greater prosperity of the whole commu-
nifty and are for the benefit of the pub
lie in general, as is now held by the
courts of Pennsylvania, says Engineer
ing News. This means that the cost of
their construction should be equitably
distributed among all the people bene-
fitted. A decided state interest in such
development also favOrs what is quite
as essential, the intelligent planning and
supervision of new construction and re-
pairs, for the state can better provide
the necessary machinery for this work
than any country or isolated community.
But what the people want, and what
is needed to encourage development in
road construction and to provide the OBJ
iect lesson in actual benefits to be derived
which will lead to further development,
Is type of ordinary highway that Is in
telligently designed and yet cheap to con-
struct. country road costing $1,000
or more per mile is simply prohbitory in
price anywhere except in the immediate
vicinity of large cities and in wealthy
communities. A road nine feet wide,
covered with well rolled four inches
layer of good hard rock and dirt from
along the road, costs only from 5000 to
81 900 per mile and is sufficient for the
mass of country travel. Roads of this
type can be built by the public without
imposing undue taxes.

Bad temper is beauty's greatest foe.
It curdles the blood and brings
wrinkles, and bad complexion is the
result. The following advice is given
to women who wish to preserve their
good looks or to improve their bad
ones:
Take a wholesome delight in physi-
cal exercise and outdoor sports. The
pale, delicate girl is no longer inter
esting.'
"Have freedom and comfort in dress
at all times.
Decide upon a definite aim in life,
and choose one that is worthy of an
immortal soul.
BE superior to envy, jealousy and
uncharitableness.
Control your temper for the sake of
your looks, as well as for your youth.
1t is not enough, either, merely to
keep from giving anger its outward
expression. A smOldering fire is far
more dangerous to health than that
which comes to the surface and is
quickly extinguished. A disposition
which continually 'boils' within often
finds physical expression in boils and
ulcers. Wrath has a natural tendency
to curdle the blood, and the continual
ly curdled condition is bound to show
itself on the surface sooner or later.
1t is an old story that anger interferes
with the digestion, fact which is,
nevertheless, frequently disregarded, as
more than one irascible dyspeptic can
testify.
Live above worry, care, fear and
all other corroding and inharmonious
thought.
Finally, cultivate a sweetly serene
frame of mind under all circumstances.
Do not allow yourself to be a creature
of moods, in depths of gloom and de-
preston one day and on the heights
Of hilarity and mirth the next"

A WESTERN PIONEER TWO VERY CLEVER SISTERS
Unique and Profitable Occupation of Two
Chicago Women.

Unique and Profitable Occupation of Two
Chicago Women.
To Miss Beatrice Tonneson and her
sister, Clara Tonneson Kirkpatrick, be-
longs the honor of having originated
a unique and successful method of pro-
ducing advertisements. When Miss
Tonneson, whose work as portrait
photographer is already we'll known all
over the United States, decided to come
to Chicago in search of a wider career,
her sister, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, furthered
the project in numberless helpful ways.
A year later she came to Chicago her
self to take up the business manage
ment of her sisters studio, she being
one of the born managers" predes-
tined to success in all their undertake
ings, and in her busy brain, 1t is said,
the "Tonneson models" now attaining
to fame and fortune the world over,
were first born. Many of the clever
advertising ideas of which Miss Ton
neson makes a specially also owe their
origin TO Mrs. kirkpatrick.
The idea once understood, however
dimly, the two clever sisters work them
out together, the success of their eff
forts being proved by the fact that or
ders come to the Chicago woman pho
tographers from almost every large
city in the world. The advertising
work, acco ding to these two bright
exponents of it, offers the widest pos
sible scope Of opportunity and variety
of labor; in the making of the beautiful
pictures sometimes calling for the
use of as many models and proper
ties" as would be needed for the pro-
duction of an ordinary play-both Miss
TonnesOn and her sister hrd the great
est delight. The studio work is all done
by the pretty young photographer her
self; to Mrs. kirkpatrick belongs the
credit due to the successful engineering
of the complicated preliminaIies which
make a "Tonneson picture" so valuable
in the opinion of advertising managers.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The American army of invasion un
has been crowding the enemy back
during the past week and advancing
on Santiago until they are now in a
position where they can see the city.
The Spaniards have found it an en-
tirely different matter facing Ameri-
can troops from what it was in de-
feating the hungry Cubans. From
prisoners taken it is learned that the
Spaniards were much surprised at the
way Roosevelt's ''Rough Riders" ad
vanced in the face of their fire, and
they were not at all prepared to re-
ceive them. The enemy have been
driven in at every point. The Cuban
army under Gen. Garcia has operated
with the Americans and has render
ed them much aid. They are not used
to standing up and advancing in the
face of strong fire, but in the brush
they are famous, as they understand
that mode of fighting. Gen. Shafter
waited for time for seige guns, but
it is now understood that with the
$4,000 American and 1000 Cuban SOL
diers under his command he will soon
be able to captuse Santiago, although
although it may be at quite loss as
the city is we'll defended,
The American squadron is keeping
a close watch over the harbor of San

Spanish fleet to escape but it must
though the Spanish Admiral may pre-
fer to destroy his fleet rather than to
let it fall into the hands of the Amer
leans. 1t has been reported that as
the auxiliary cruiser, st. Paul, was
cruising off the coast of Cuba the
torpedo boat destroyer, Terror, at
tempted to sink her. The Terror ad
vanced under cover of a protected
cruiser and attempted to approach the
st. Paul, but the Americans were on
the watch and opened on the torpedo
boat with such destructive fire as to
kill several of the sailors and disabled
the vessel so it had to be towed back
to port. The st. Paul is under the
command Of Capt. Sigsbee, who com
manded the Maine when it was blown
up in Havana harbor, and it is plain
from the reception he gave the Span
iards that he RENE embered the fate of
his gallant ship.
The Spanish feet which has been
held at Cadiz has sailed and is reported
to be in the Suez canal, with several
transports filed with troops to enable
the Spaniards to hold the Philippines.
This fleet will have much trouble in
reaching Manila because of not being
allowed to coal at neutral ports; but
if it should succeed in reaching that
port the American troops would reacn
there first and with their help and the
help of the coast defence vessel, Mon
terey, and possibly the Monadnock,
with the cruiser, Charleston, Admiral
Dewey would be able to give them a
reception as they never received be-
fore.
The government is now planning to
send a feet to Spain to attack them at
home. At least two of our powerful
battleships will be included in the
feet and with the cruisers it will be
able to defeat anything Spain can
raise. even though she should recall
