Of the bullion and the value of the

must remain precisely the same. The
owner of the bullion pays no seignior-

transmitted his bullion into coin and
certificated it's weight and fineness.
But the government has added no
value to the metal. The fact that
government stamping confers no value
to gold is daily demonstrated by the

all gold coins, except those Of Eng

not sell said gold bars at less than n

it is seen that 800 fine gold bullion,

Therefore the advocates of a just

have certainly achieved benefactions
for posterity, anticipate all the happi-

posterity.

as civic courage-a power to sustain

.sters who first saw daylight in the
rude cabins and dugouts of the Ne
braska frontier. Here they had the
stimulant of poverty which braces
mankind to self -helpfulness and keys
up to self reliance and plucky indie
pendence. Poverty is plain but
practical teacher. 1t gives great les
sons. 1t teaches the value of self con-
troll and self denial. 1t writes OH hu-
man life as OH slate the proverbs
and rules for usefulness and happi-
ness. The children born in Nebraska
thirty and forty years ago very soon
came to understand that life was
battle. They speedily saw that each
individuality must win because of it's
own disciplined strength and persist
ency or fail and lose because of it's
own weakness and purposelessness.
The rough asperities which surround
ed the pioneer children of the terri
tory and state impressively and stern
ly taught them that they must rely
for fortune and fame entirely upon
themselves. Their parents were
obliged to impose burdens Of labor up
on them. Those burdens were larger
and heavier than are imposed upon
children of similar age in the older
and wealthier states And so the pio-
neer childhood came to understand
that good home and it's comforts
where the family should be domiciled,
necessarily meant self denial on the
part of the then jewellers in dugouts
and cabins. They soon comprehended
the fact that if parents did not deny
themselves desired things, which
they seemed to really need, no fund
could be accumulated with which to
buy schoolbooks, pay for the pre-emp-
tion claim and build the hoped for
dwelling. All through those early
years of the settlement of Nebraska
every child and youth had the ad-

control, self-denial, self-reliance and

technically, what was the cube root of
that array Of figures, he replied with
equal facility and promptness that it
was 645. The mathematical experts
who were examining the boy found
that it was impossible to find the cube
root of these nine figures, in the short

greatest obstacle he had to overcome
in reaching these young men. He told
me that it was not the liquor drinking
habit, terrible as is its hold upon the

appalling prevalence Of vice. If half
is true that was told me in London
about the prevalence Of the most de-

those in positions to know lock with

Sand Roads.

Roads on pure or nearly pure sand
require very different treatment than
roads on clay and loam Dampness
improves the sand road, while it dam
ages a clay or loan road. The preced'
ing rules for the drainage OF loan OF
clay roads must be reversed for sand
roads. Wet sand makes a better road
than dry sand, and therefore draining
a sand road is useless and possibly q
damage. OF course, this is not true OF
ouicksand, but there is very little, II
anv. of that in the roads. Roads on
ouicksand are improved by drainage.
Sand roads are usually nearly level
and need little, if any. grading. They
should not be crowned, since they do
not need surface drainage. The trav
eled portion should be simply leYeied
off.
The great disadvantage Of pure SAND
ms n road material is the freedom with
which the grains move one on the
other, Therefore to improve a sand
road encourage grass to occupy all the
space possible. The roots VIII de-
crease the movement Of the grains un
der the tread Of the hoofs and wheels
1t will sometimes pay to give sandy
roads a heavy coat Of manure to
strengthen the grass. 1t is an adyan
tage if low growing bushy vegetation
occupies the surface clear up to tho
travelled way-both for the shade and
for the binding effect Of the roots.
