Good Roads as a Bad Investment.

Many people think that the expendi-
ture of large sums by the State govern.
ment or the federal Government in
improving country roads will raise the
value of the adjacent farms enough to
warrant the outlay. Massachusetts,, in
fact, spends considerable money in this
way every year, and Governor Odell
recommended in his inaugural address
that New York State should begin a
similar policy. Engineering News
New York; however, holds an opposite
view, and thinks that the good-road
advocates are doing actual harm by adj
vocating an unsound business policy.
1t says:
Now where transportation over
common roads is carried on as a bust
ness, the direct return from the i'm
provement of the road can be comput-
ed. There are thousands of such roads,
where products of mines, mills, or for
ests are hauled to shipping point, or
where market-gardeners and milkmen
carry their products to towns and cities.
Roads of this class, if only sufficient
traffic is in sight, can very generally
be improved so that the reduced cost of
transportation shall well repay the cost
OF the improvement.
''But on roads in the farming dis
tricts, remote from towns and cities
on country roads proper-there is very
little of transportation as business.
The farmer carries most of his products
to market at times when he and his
men and horses would otherwise be idle.
He would obtain benefit from good
roads; but it is incorrect to measure it
in the same way that we measure the
benefit to the teamster who, as result
of improved roads, can do his work with
fewer horses and wagons, and who can
thus afford to work at lower prices SO
that the final benefit accrues to the pub
lie. 1t ought to be plain enough that no
such benefit accrues in the case of the
farmer. He will get the current price
for his grain, whether he hauls it to
market over bad road or a good one;
and as we have already seen, his total
outlay for horses and laborers is fixed
by his farm conditions, and not by the
state of the highway to market.
''The farmer understands this perfect
ly we'll. He is not for a minute deceiv-
ed by the theorists who tell him that by
taxing himself to pay for good roads
he can put dollars in his pocket. He
regards good roads as he does covered
carriage or fine house or any other
pleasant and desirable thing-as some
thing very good to have when and
where it can be afforded

Webster and the Trout.

With each increase of Webster's fame
as a lawyer and an orator, writes Prof
Nc Masterin the March Century, friends
and admirers grew more and more
urgent that he should once more return
to public life. He did, indeed, consent to
serve as Presidential elector, and for
ten days sat i'll the Massachusetts
legislature. Many years afterward, in
the course of speech, Webster referred
to this service, and told his hearers a
story quite characteristic Of the man.

A STRICKEN WOMAN.
Herr Story VIII Interest Many Others
OF Her Sex

From the News, ConnerSville, Ind.
The story of Mrs. Nellie NJ Hedden of
No. 621 Summit avenue, Connersville, Ind,
contains an important lesson for many
American women who suffer in silence
rather than face the ordeal that the usual
treatment of their troubles entails. 1t is a
story that rings with honest gratitude and
does not tell half the misery that the mar
rator endured. Other women who are suf-
fering as Mrs. Hedden did will know how
to understand and appreciate much that
cannot be told in a newspaper article. Mrs.
HeddeE's experience is best given in her
own words. She says:
"for nearly a year | endured terrible
agony caused by a general breaking down
OF the nervous system, female weakness
and suppression OF the periods. | suffered
greatly with bearing down pains and was
very weak and short of breath My circu-
lation was very bad, causing numbnesS of
limbs, dizziness and headache all the time.
My heart would sometimes feel as if there
was heavy weight on it. | had never been
healthy and strong, so you can readily see
that | was in no condition to withstand
such a combination of ailments as | have
told you Of
81 grew worse very rapidly and all the
doctors ! tried failed to check my decline.
A friend of my husband told him how
much good Dr. Williams Pink Pills had
done his wife SO | commenced taking them
and can now state that they are the only re-
lief ! ever had. The first box helped me so
much that the prospect began to look
brighter for me. | continued the treatment
for several weeks, using six boxes in all.
In conclusion | will say that if any one,
who is suffering the same as | was will take

warded''

is willing to tell how she obtained the rich
glow of health that thousands of women
are envious to possess. Before she found
the right remedy she was in that pale,
anemic and which, if neglected, inevitably
means early death. Miss May Smith, whose

and my limbs always felt tired. l was
troubled with shortness of BREATH and l

was smothering sensation about my heart,
which would beat heavily, with fits of palpi-

DOUBT.

Hid by dim clouds the mighty mountains
stand,
Close swathed with storm, their glory all
concealed;
No stately summit is to sight revealed,
No grassy slope, nor rocky rampant grand.
Wan melancholy broods DER all the land,
Whose gloom is broken by no glowing
ray;
No brightness cheers the waning, lonely
day;
The chilling mists prevail on every hand.
Thus doubt doth veil the heights and hide
the sun,
Doubt not! Believe! The mountains aye
endure
UnmOved they stand, eternal, changeless,
pure;
Loves splendor smiles when clouds their
race have run;
Truths peaks abide, though yelled by
doubt and fear.
Loves light survives the saddest day or
year.
