A Love Letter of Prince bismarck

ION my window sill, among all sorts
OF crocuses and hyacinths, stand two
camellias which always inspire me
with strange thoughts. One of them,
slender and pretty, with its ornamen-
tai crown top and soft, pale--very
pale-pink blossoms, but little foliage
and only two buds, transports me TO
Reddetin. holds itself rather stiffiy and
lisps English. The other makes far
less impression of beauty as you look
at it, and its stalk betrays In its gnarl-
ed twisting lack of care in its pruning.
From the midst of the foliage looks
out Il dead branch. but the crown is
rich in leaves, and the foliage is green
er than that of lis neighbor. 1t gives
promise of abundant blossoming in its
eight buds. and its color is deep dark
red and white in irregular gay variega-
ton. Do you take the comparison
amiss? 1t Is lame comparison, more
over, for ! do not love camellas, be-
cause they are without odor, and sou
love precisely on account of the fra

Pay Road Tax In Money.

The fact Is that the taxpayer now
pays enough TO build and maintain
good roads, but by being annually ex-
pended in small sums Ii is not sufii-
Client TO complete any one piece of
work. The conclusion reached by
nearly all who have given the malnte-
nance aud construction of country
roads any thought Is that we have
too many road districts and too many
road oyerseers, each Of whom attempts
10 carry out his particular idea. IL we
were able To collect all road taxes now
levied in cash and expend II under the
supervision of one road commissioner
or overseer In each township, accord
ing TO plans and specifications made
by the county engineer. we could. with
out any increase In our taxation for
road purposes, secure such results as
we would hope TO attain. In fact, we
would have good roads with our pres
ent taxes. The estimate made by ex-
perts-that not to exceed % cents of
each dollar levied and collected ever
reaches the roads-is not an exaggera-
ton
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1901-04-05

Convict labor is doubtless more cost.
ly, comparing results with results. than
free labor. The convict working on
the roads practically completes with no.
body. Most OF the roads would not be
built If they depended on free labor.
FOR few communities feel able to incur
the expense Of extensive improvements
of that sort, What the prisoner does
Is simply to pay back to the COM
munity in another form the cost of
his conviction and of his board and
lodging and without taking one morsel
OF bread from the mouth of any law
abiding citizen The roads, when
finished, are godsend to the public
not only in the comfort Of travel. but
In saving wear and tear on vehicles.
and they Lave been procured by the
mere utilization Of labor which might
otherwise have been lost altogether or
employed in some more wasteful enter

Nearly 40 boards of supervisors, repre-

supervisors has resolved to attend the
convention. Quite body of individual
delegates is coming.

done by his department in the improve.

Cost of Good Roads.

AS to the cost of the road. that de-
ponds upon so many conditions that it
would be impossible for me to tell. 1t
depends largely upon the cost of the
stone, which embraces the quarrying
and hauling. The cost of hauling de-
ponds upon the distance and the quar-
rying upon the condition of the stone
in the quarry. The crushing, however,
with a portable crusher will cost about
20 or 20 cents per cubic yard. Where
the stone is furnished free of charge
and the haul is not over mile or two,
and not including the cost of grading or
preparing the roadbed, the stone con-
struction can be made from $1,000 to
$4,000 per mile.

HE USED THE SALT TEST.
An Old Apache Chiefs knowledge
of the Human system.

In the early days of Union Pacific
railroading Victoria. Mana and Geron-
limo, the three chiefs of the Arizona
Apaehes, with 100 of their best bucks,
came through TO Green River. Wy.
They had heard of the heap wagon
and no boss" and had come 10 stop the
train They made lasso of rawhide,
and 30 men on each side held on to the
rope as the freight came down the
Wasatch divide. The engineer saw
when several miles away what the In
dams were up 10. SO he whistled "off
brakes" and. opening his throttle, let
her loose. The cowcatcher struck the
rope aud hurled the Indians in all direc-
tions. literally tearing them to pieces,
headless, armless and legless. The
three chiefs went south 10 their cactus
plains very crestfallen.
Before they selected these men the
old Chief Victoria had them all eat a
piece of rock salt about as big as
pecan, run swiftly about 100 yards, sit
down on log or rock and cross their
legs. Then he watched the vibration
of the feet, which were crossed. The
feet which yibrated the longest or had
the longest strokes he declined to ac-
cept for a severe duty or a dangerous
trip or for one that was at all hazard
Gus, but he accepted the feet which vi
brated short, distinct and regular
| strokes.
Now. what did the old chief know
about pulsation of the arterial system
! or of heart action and indeed about
salt in the system? | have lived near
to Indian reservations and have had
occasion often TO survey over their
lands for railroads and other objects,
| and | have wondered where old Vic
toria got his idea. Is not the child of
the sagebrush plains better posted
than his paleface brother? - Chicago

MIRR KNER DEEP.

go probably will not object to the pay
ment OF their share of this tax. They
will be inclined to believe that they
will get value received therefor. What
ever unites them more closely With
their good customers on the farms hen
efits them In dollars and cents. The
main question is whether the farmers.
who spend considerable money now TO
no purpose in tinkering dirt roads. are
willing 10 stand the taxation - some
what heavier at first than the present
rate-which the construction OF good,
permanent roads will entail.
The cost will not be so great as is
sometimes imagined. II is true that
there is in central Illinois a lack of
good road building material. The roads
which, like the Illinois Central, trav-
erse that part Of the state will be will
ing to transport these materials for the
bare cost of service. Hard roads are
greatly to their advantage. When con-
structed, the roads will be able TO ship
produce regularly and not intermittent
ly. as they do now.
That the farmers will he singularly
benefited by hard roads admits of no
dispute. They will get free mail deliv-
cry and the daily paper. They will be
in constant touch with the markets.
They Will know at once when prices
are going up and will be able to ship
their produce Immediately. At present
they ship il when they can, and the
price they get for their crops is regu.
lated by the condition of the roads,
which is likely TO be bad after Novem.
Der, rather than by the market price.
