CELESTIAL cHAFF.
The Pointed Retort of a Small but
Smart Monaghan to an Amer.
lean SchOOlmate.

The young daughter Of former Phiadel.
phlan IS schooImate OF little WI, the
son OF the Chinese ambassador at MASKING,
ton. During recent visit here she often
talked about the little celestial, and told
tales about him that seemed to indicate that
little WI at times gently guys his Christian
schoolmates. He is awtully cute" she
said, and speaks very correct English.
Hes just my age, yet he's ahead of me.
What he likes best TO eat, he says, is mi.h..
That is young mice, dipped in honey and
swallowed raw. a horrible thing, isn't it .
But WI says that milhi aren't half so
squashy and Shiny as raw oysters. His
mothers feet are SO tiny that she can hard
ly walk at all. She is pushed about in a
wheeled chair. l asked WI once if he didn t
think it was cruel to torture the Chinese
ladies feet like that. He said: Virginia,
my papa says that whenever any person asks
me that question | must make the follow
ing reply: 1T is not more cruel than for
American ladies to torture their waists in
steel corsets until their noses are beet red
and their shapes like an hour glass" Then
he gave a loud laugh and walked away with
his little hands IN the pockets OF his baggy
brocade trousers. He looks awtully grave
and funny. -PhIadelph Press

ROADS ABOUT MANILA.
They Are Reported to De About a.
Bad ms in Some Parts of Our
Own United States.

When the troops first came to Ma
Mia the Pasay road was full of mud.
holes and it was almost impossible to
move the troops from Camp Dewey to
Fort Malate in the rainy season.
When the dry season came and the
suncould penetrate between the hedges
of bamboo into the narrow lane the
road was better, but still the wagons
went splashing through the mud. One
hole in particular grew deeper and
broader and rougher with the wear of
hand to fill it up.
The Fourth cavalry was brought in
from the line during the latter part of
August. Capt. Hugh j. McGrath was
in command of the three troops sta
toned at the barracks, and it was he
who first conceived the good-roads idea
and obtained permission to hire a
gang of Chinese coolies to do the work.
The work began at old Fort Malate,
and the chinos We're quartered along
the stone walls of the fort and ate their
meals there until the road had crept
along past the quarters. Then they
moved their half roofs to the south
and We're ready for another lap. Bam-
boo poles We're carried by the chnos to
the places where they We're needed, and
the bottom of the road was first made
on these bamboo poles. Over them
was piled stone and clay. and then a
surface of sand from the beach was
laid on. Afterward a heavy roller was
dragged up and down until all was
solid.
Shortly after the road was built to
the trenches at Pasay the cavalry was
ordered south to join Gen. Schwan on
his raid of the southern towns, and it
was succeeded by the Thirtieth volun-
tecrs.
Under Maj. Hartigan the road build
ing has gone far toward San Pedro
Macat. And if the volunteers are left
there long enough there is reason to
believe that the highway will be fin
ished.
Good roads are badly needed in this
island. Probably the worst road in all
the territory through which the wag-
ons have to go is from Mololos to Quin-
qua. The distance is about five miles,
But it takes the better part OF day to
get through. But from Quingua to
Baliuag there is good road that has
been in existence for many years. The
value of it is known to the quarter
masters and the com1nissaries who are
compelled to take supplies and pro-
visions over it. Up to date the cngi-
neering department has not built any
roads.-Harry \. Armstrong, in Chica-
go Daily Record.

A FARMERS STORY.
Life Is Dishenrtening in More
Ways Than One.

Good roads bring the farm close to
the city line. This is what a farmer
in Lincoln county. Wis. has to say
about the effect Of bad roads: The
farmers in the town of Russell can
not get to Merrill with a load of hay
or a load Of potatoes-the produce
they get their money from-and by
not being able to market their prod
uce they are compelled TO get along
without clover seed, timothy seed,
some choice seed barley or spring
wheat. or some new variety of farm
seed that may be very profitable to
them if they could get their truck to
market when there is market value
on it. There have been number of
new settlers to start in this spring, and
While these parties We're moving in it
was very common to see one team get
mired and lie down. The first team
that happened to come along would
hitch on to the team and draw them
out, and both teams draw the wagon
through by hitchng it to long chain,
allowing the horses to get on solid
ground. 1t takes two days to make
trip of IS miles and 1900 pounds
is big Load for a good team; so by
the time the farmer gets home he has
been to more expense than the load
brings in the market He has there
fore given away his load and worked
himself and team for two days for
ncthil.c."
