Farmers Can Make GOOd Roads.

John Gilmer Speed, writing on Chow
to Have Good Country Roads" in the
Ladies' Home Journal, proposes ''that
in each county there be founded a
Road Improvement Association, which
shall have a one or two days meeting
in the autumn of each year. To the
membership and to the meetings all
the farmers should be invited, while
all those in the county acting as road
overseers, or road supervisors, should
be urged especially to attend. AT
these meetings special, definite, prac
tical instruction should be given in
maintaining and repairing dirt roads.
Competent men to give such instruc-
ton can be secured without cost tC
such societies, for the United States
Department of Agriculture has Road
Bureau, and this bureau will always
supply competent instructor to tell
the people just exactly what they need,
and how to do the work as it should
be DONE" Mr.. Speed also urges thai
school children be interested in the
work and taught the rudiments o.
road d-building and bookkeeping.

ACCEPTING FAVORS AN ART.
Pleasure of BestOwing Them is Lost II They
are Not Gracefully Accepted.

There are great many friendships
ruined by the unwillingness on one
side or the other to accept favors,"
writes Edith Webster in the August
Ladies' Home journal. "Two school
girl friends united by many congenial
ties are forced apart because the poorer
one fOolishly thinks that she should
make some return for the pretty gifts,
the party invitations, the tickets to
concerts or matinees which her friend
loves to remember her with. She
knows that she is unable to make any
return, so refuses the good times, and
by doing so not only deprives her
friend of the keenest delight, bat her.
self of many opportunities for pleasure,
and the family circle at home of the re-
cital of the fresh and novel experience
which contact with the world outside
of her home would surely bring to
| her.
"Favors are of many sorts. Itsome-
times happens that wealthy woman
may wish to send girl to college, to
help in her music, to encourage her in
her desire for an art education; she
may give her books, take her out with
her and give her opportunities fol
hearing great artists. When a girl
has such favors offered her she
should accept them gracefully and
with a clear conscience. The favors are
not all on one side; her bright face ani
enthusiastic appreciation mean much
to the woman who is fortunate enough
to be able to dispense favors."

met each new phase of his rapidly-ex-
panding responsibilities firmly and
fifty, and now is able to impose on
Spain such conditions as satisfy every
national ambition and equally satisfy
the sense of justice of the civilized
world.
The emergency preparations, the call
for volunteers, the auxiliary navy, the
various demonstrations of power in
reserve, have been essential to the gen.
eral result, although they have not been
called into active play. The actual
victory was won by the means already
at hand, the permanent army and navy,
but the unused force was necessary for
their moral support and most neces-
sary to the moral effect of their achiev-
ment. Spain's own armies, except that
of Toral, have scarcely been employed
at all, but with her navy gone and
fresh American army ready for the
field, the hOpelessness of continued re-
sistance is thus early forced home to
her and she sues for peace ON our own
terms.
Of course there has been laundering
in administrative details-as when
was there not?-the criticism of which
is proper and necessary. But in the
general conduct of this extraordinary
contest, from the date of the destruc-
tiOn of the Maine until to-day, there
has been shown a clear sighted and
thoughtful craftsmanship, sound
judgement in the face of new condi-
tiOns and quick appreciation of new
duties with which we can feel more
than satisfied and that give the high
est encouragement that the nation may
equally meet the unaccustomed re-
sponsibilities that will come with the
declaration of peace. -PhiLadelphiG

Friend Staylate makes a call in the
evening. Conversation blithe and Joy
GUS, and repeated requests for him to
remain yet a little while, lead him, not
at all unwillingly, to prolong his visit.
He looks at his watch with gasp of
genuine dismay, and hurries away
slowly at last with profuse apologies
for keeping us up until such an un-
earthly hour. "Oh, indeed, mol" cho-
ruses the entire family. 'This is early
for us! We never think of going to
our rooms until an hour later than
this" Friend Staylate loiters a mo-
ment after he gets outside the gate.
Slam goes the door; bang! wang!
slam! go the shutters, calling harshly
to each other, Thought that fellow
never would got" Bangl "Why didn't
he stay all night?" Slam! And the
rattle of the chain cries, "Gone at

settles down on the house; the family

ready to tell the truth any time they
are given q chance.-RoBERT J. BUR-

[MR. EDITOR: 1 once met with poem
in an obscure newspaper from the pen OF
William Cullen Bryant, which l admired
enough to copy off. As have never seen
another copy of it, think it may be new

Beside massive gateway, built up in years
gone by,
Upon whose top the clouds in eternal
shadow lie,
While streams the evening sunshine on
quiet wood and lea,
stand, and calmly wait till the hinges turn
for me.
The treetops family rustic beneath the
breezes fight,
A soft and soothing sound, yet it whispers
of the night;
1 hear the woodthrush piping one mellow
descant more,
And scent the flowers that blow when the
heat of day is O'er.
Behold the portals open, and DER the
threshold now
There steps weary one with pale and
furrowed brow;
His count of years is full, his allotted task
is wrought,
He passes to his rest from place that needs
him not.
In sadness then ponder how quickly fleets
the hour
OF human strength and action, mans cour-
age and his power;
l muse, while still the wOOdthrush sings
down the golden day,
And, as look and listen, the sadness wears
away.
Again the hinges turn, and youth de-
parting, throws
A look of longing backwards, and sorrow
fully goes.

Oh! crimson flush of morning that darkens

Oh! breath of summer blossoms that ON the

Scatters moments sweetness and flies, we

shown and then Withdrawn.
But still the sun shines round me, the even

And prints of little feet, mark the dus

And some approach the threshold who's

THE SURPRISES OF THE WAR.

While there were some thoughtless
persons who talked as though it would
be an easy thing to drive the Spanish
out of Cuba, we do not think there was
any intelligent expectation, when war
was actually entered upon in April,
that it would be concluded so effec-
lively and with such far-reaching con-
sequences in little more than hun
dred days. Indeed the far-reaching
consequences of the war scarcely en-
tered into public expectation at all.
The Liberation of Cuba was the utmost
that was contemplated, and for this it
was recognized that a considerable
army must be organized and and pre-
pared and that naval operations must
be undertaken that at the outset would
probably involve some losses.
We were better prepared than we
supposed, or the enemy worse prepared,
The war has been fought and won on
lines that had never entered into the
general calculation, though they have
been imagined by a few. The con-
quest of Havana, the one thing that
everybody supposed essential, has not
been even attempted, and Captain Gen.
eral Blanco, whom all expected to be
the Spanish champion, will surrender
his command without having fred {
shot. Yet Spain has lost not only

It was easily to be conjectured, con

Not only was its field thus vastly ex

in my opinion, a very poor one, as the
Government is perfectly able to feed
its men without any assistance from
the profits of rum selling.
