Brown was very much in love with pretty Miss Simpson and had told her so repeatedly, but in vain. She did not reciprocate. Browns friends knew of the affair, and whenever Brown gave toast Miss Simpson was made the subject of it.

 Come, Brown, your usual toast"

would kindly ask you to grant me short space in your valuable paper that may state few facts in regard to the roads in this town, In justice to myself and my colleagues. The facts are that our roads were very badly washed last spring by the unusual heavy rains and there were many bad and dangerous places. As soon as the season would permit we put on teams and men to work and made the bad places safe. And then we put our teams and men to work on the main roads, as your correspondent failed to discover, and have kept them ever since with good results and which the roads will show for themselves. If he would take a day off and look around he would learn some things about Stafford roads that would be valuable to him. As to the macadam, your correspond ent seems to have been misinformed
 or the ''old road-maker' has not taken pains himself to find out the facts in the matter. The selectmen have spent quite 8 good deal of time in the matter, as well as some money, in trying to get to work on the piece of road that we expected to build last year. But we can do nothing without the cooperation of the highway commissioner, as your correspondent very we'll knows. As to the condition of the present macadam road, 1t is generally conceded by good judges that the poorest piece of macadam road in town is the south end of the present road, and which was contracted and built by the borough officials or superintended by them. The highway commissioner promised to come to Stafford some time ago, so that we might adjust matters and begin work on our road, but he has failed to appear. l think 1t would be we'll for me to resign my position as one of the road commits sioners of this town in favor of your cor respondent, for if he can do as we'll with pick and shovel as with the pen, he would prove valuable member on that board.

Burr Song, Music by Harriet aenevieve a1Gi Werner Ter Music, Orchestra (Springfeld Republican, May 2O) Considerable complaint is made of the delay in the town road repairs. Much work has been done on the outside by ways, but the main lines between villages have had long wait. Fortunately ex- Commissioner Cushman put the borough roads in such excellent condition last fall that less than the usual repairing is nec- essarv this spring. It begins to look as though the selectmen would let the mac adam road voted last year go by default, and no action whatever be taken in the matter. The neglect to care for or at- tempt to save the macadam road already laid and in bad condition on the Hollow road admits of no excuse. Had a line of coarse broken stone been strung along the ruts made by thoughtless drivers the travel would have been forced out of a single path and much damage to the road been avoided. A little more neglect and the money already expended will be in a large measure wasted.

How TO TAKE Cop LIVER OIL.-Nearly everyone knows that when they are thin there is no remedy in the world equal to cod liver oil to make them feshy. Yet there is nothing against which they rebel more promptly. There were great many ways recommended for making cod liver oil pleasant. Among these we would mention placing pinch of salt In the mouth before and after taking the dose oi oil. Syrup of bitter orange peel was also recommended. But now all this Is unnecessary. Science has found a way of pgking cod liver oil not only pleasant to 9ake, but easy to digest. Messrs' Scott < Bowne have brought this science to perfection in their Scott's Emulsion, which is cod liver oil free from disagr rec able odor and taste, and already partly digested.
