OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Connecticut Highways.
The first payments are being made
from the Connecticut State Treasury
to the various towns which hav,
availed themselves Of the road i'm
provement law passed by the las
Legislature. The essential featurei
of that statute are the payment by the
State of three-quarters OF the cost o
improved roads in towns With a tal
list of 81, ,OO0, 900 or less and two
thirds of the cost in towns with tal
list of more than 81 900, 900; thu
State not TO spend more than S175, 00C
in one year nor more than $45CO il
any one town annually; the sum OF
$4,000 q year for State inspection II
come out Of the Sl75, 900; and a pro.
viso by which town may, with the
assent of the State Highway Commits
sion, use the full amount of the ap
rropriation for two years.
The returns at the Highway Com
missioner's Office show remarkable
success OF the new law. Out OF 16S
towns in the State 115 have this year
made applications. Out of the $780,.
600 appropriated by the State for two
years-or $33S, 900, excluding inspec
tion expenses-all but $4,000 is ex,
hausted by the applications Of the 11J
towns, which will receive from $500
to $4,000 each from the State. The
law only relates to main roads be
tween towns, and Of these it is esti.
mated at the Commissioner Office
that on 500 miles improvements have
now been completed since State aid
began and on several hundred miles
more improvements are in progress or
Immediately projected. During 1899
and 1900, including payments by the
towns, the outlay under the law,
present and prospective, amounts to
about $433, 900. In ffty-three Of the
ll5 towns gravel roads or regarding
has been done or is in progress, in
some cases preliminary to hardened
roads.
Under the various laws passed al
recent sessions Of the State Legisla.
ture, there has been an outlay of about
$500, 600 and 1873 towns out of 168 in
the State have availed themselves OF
the various State-aid laws. A very en-.
couraging feature of this statute is the
large number of small country towns
which have begun highway improve,
meut, and the sum Of $50, 600 OF the
State appropriation still left will be
given first to the towns not yet apply.
ing, and secondly, to the towns which
have not asked for more than $500.
The secondary effects of the law in i'm.
proving roads and awakening commu.
mites in the State to the importance
Of better highways have been very
great, not few towns spending much
larger sums than usual outside of the
law, and one town spending $50, 900.
In regarding roads, also, much money
has been spent effectively, and an
evil in tho old Connecticut highways
considerably abated
There is complaint that some of the
towns do not keep the State-aid roads
in proper repair, as provided for under
the law, and that important branch of
the statute remains to be tested. In
such cases the law provides that the
State can make the repairs and the
town must pay for them. The eager.
ness to take advantage of the existing
law for State aid is indicated 10y tho
fact that the 10 towns applying all
did so within period OF six weeks.

THE STORY on NE.

Only the same old story, told in different
strain;
Sometimes smile OF gladness, and then a
stab Of pain;
Sometimes a aash Of sunlight, again the
drifting rain.
Sometimes II seems to borrow from the
crimson rose its hue;
Sometimes black with thunder, then
changed to brilliant blue;
Sometimes fake as satan, sometimes as
heaven true.
Only the same old story, but, oh, how the
changes rinRl
Prophet and priest and peasant, soldier
and scholar and king;
Sometimes the warmest hand-clasp leaves
in the palm sting.
Sometimes In the hush OF even, sometimes
IN the midday strife,
Sometimes with dove-like calmness, some
times with passion rife;
We dream it, write 1t, live It, this weirC
Wild story OF life.

Sample OF Boer Hu,nor.

Presumably the Beers who captured
an unusually shrewd Kafir the other
day and robbed him, never had heard
of Portals three caskets. Had they
been better up in their Shakespeare
they might have done better fnan-
cially. The Kaflir was carrying q cake
of soap in his hand, in which he had
hidden $400 in gold. In his pockets
was about q dollar aud half in sill
yer, The Beers who captured him
gathered in the silver, but scorned the
soap, and then let him go with his
treasure. Another party of burghers.
however, under somewhat similar cir
cumstances, acted not only with acu-
men, but with positive humor. They,
too, captured q Kaflir runner" who
was carrying letters. That was harm
less enough, but he also was carrying
q copy of Punch. As an act of simple
justice, they lashed him to a wheel of
one of their wagons and then started
off again, while the culprit revolved
slowly and ignominiouslY until the
journey was ended. Later, however,
he escaped.

Home-Made War pIclures.

A Paris correspondent Of the Shelf

the east end of Paris in the interest of

by means of photographs, its special

Fighting a shark.

A lively experience with twelve
foot striped shark came to Boatmen
Harry johnson and Bob Barnard, re-
lates the San Francisco Chronicle.
They were fishing between Mission
Rock and Goat Island when they saw
the shark It followed them persist
emily, and once when it came boldly
up to the boat the boatmen set upon it
with oars, stretcher and gan. A blow
from the big brutes tail came near
capsizing the Whitehall, Barnard
barely escaped being drawn into the
sea through sinking the gan into the
body of the shark, which set off at a
terrible speed, pulling the boat after
him. It was so weak from the blows
and from loss of blood that it was
finally conquered. In the fight the
boatmen broke one oar and a stretcher.

these facts the folly of Repu blican
politicians in holding continuous per-
formances Of free homes seances is ap.
parent. After ali has been said of the
question of free homes, IL is a Demo

measure. No national Republican
leader has ever offered one word in
