Things have greatly improved for

Army Of late" said a resident Of New
Orleans, whose business takes him fire.
quently into the sister republic, "but
only few years ago he had a pretty
rough time Of it, and as for his pay
well, I'll tell you little story that COW
ers the ground fairly well. On one oc-
casiOn l spent several months in a
small town in the northern part Of the
country, where a regiment Of infantry
was temporarily in barracks. OF
course got well acquainted with all
the officers from the Colonel down.
and found them, without exception,
royal good fellows. But the poor sol
diers were as tough looking a lot of
scarecroWs as l ever laid eyes on.
Their uniforms were in rags and tat
ters, half of them were barefooted and
the other half had no hats, while their
arms and accoutrements were in a con-
dition to match. The paymaster used
to get around about every two months,
and his arrival would be a signal for
great excitement at the barracks. He
did his business, however, entirely
with the Colonel and, after inspecting
the rolls, would place a certain sum Of
money in that dignitary's hands,. dine
| formally with the whole staff and take
his departure Next day the Colonel
would call the captains Of the several
companies and give each of them q
bag of dollars. The captains would
thereupon summon the lieutenants,
who, in turn, would send for the SER
geants, and thus the money would
glide down the line until it finally
reached the corporals, who did the ac-
tual paying off of the men.
"How it happened don't undertake
to say but with each transfer the cash
invariably suffered a shrinkage. Per-
| haps it was due to abrasion. Anyhow,
not more than a third ever reached the.
rank and file. That would have been
bad enough, but in this regiment there
was also a curious ebb tide, so to speak,
that swept good deal of the money
back through the original channel Of
distribution. The whole crowd from
! privates to commander were inveter-
ate poker players, and by a mysterious
freak of fate their ability was in al
most exact ratio to their rank-the old
Colonel being acknowledged champion
Of the department. After pay day
there was always a grand poker orgie,
in which the non-commissioned officers
usually cleaned out the privates Then
few lieutenants would swoop down
and wind up the 'noncOms,' to get
looted themselves by their captains,
who invariably fell victims to the SUI
perior skill of the Colonel. The result
was that the unfortunate private never
got over a third of his pay and never
had that longer than forty-eight hours.

Care of Side nitchea.

The side bitches should be examined
in the fall to see that they are free
from dead weeds and grass; and late
in the winter they should be examined
again to see that they are not clogged
with cornstalks, brush, etc, washed in
from the fields. The mouth of culverts
should also be cleared of rubbish, and
the outlet of tile drains should be
opened. Attention to side bitches will
prevent overflow and washing of the
roadbed, and will also prevent the for
nation of ponds at the roadside and
the consequent saturatiOn of the road
bed. The road caretaker should fire.
quently so over his portion of the road,
particularly during the rainy season
and especially just as heavy fall of
snow IS going off, for it is then that
the most damage is done. Fortunate
ly, this work will not interfere with
farm work.
Roads should have plenty of light
and air. OF course a shady road is
very nice on hot day; but such a
road cannot be kept in good condition,
since shade is nearly sure to breed mud
holes. Therefore the road officials
should use all possible diplomacy to
have trees adjoining the road, particu-
larly those on the south side trimmed
with reference to the benefits of the
roads.
A tall hedge cuts off the view Of the
adjacent country, shuts out the breeze,
and in dry time keeps in the dust
and in a wet time retards the drying
of the road. Therefore the road Of
ficials should enforce the law concern.

1t is hoped that the day is not far
distant when in each community the
roadside will be cared for so as to
secure a coating of grass instead OF
unsightly and noxious weeds. This
can be accomplished with an occa
sional moving at but slight expense.

Good roads are desirable for the
same reason that a man buys a car
rage or builds a fine house, /. e., be-
cause they are a comfort and a pleas
ure. Whether good roads twill pay"
or not depends upon the relative esti-
mate put upon money and labor on the
one side and comfort and convenience
of travel on the other. The man who
prefers to ride in a lumber wagon be-
cause it is cheaper than a carriage will
prefer to ride in the mud instead of
spending money or labor in improving
the roads. 1t is certain that comfort
and ease of travel add to the knOwl-
edge and intelligence of the citizen,
and thus indirectly, but none the less
certainly, add to his ability to get on
in the world. A reasonable expendi-
ture for good roads is always good
investment - financially. socially and
educationally = for any community.

Kite Fishing.

Kites are destined to play part in
sport. They have been used with great
success as a means to stop partridges
rising and flying from cover where it
is wished to keep them for shooting
the birds will not rise when kites are
flying above them, fearing, doubtless,
attack.
And now the kite has been used for
fishing.
The credit of discovering the posi-
bilities of airline fishing is due to Mr..
Edward Horsman, the great kite ex-
pert and manufacturer.
The advantage of fishing from a kite
is that the fisherman may stand on the
shore whilst his bait is dropped far out
at sea; also that timid fish are not
scared by seeing fishing rods or boats
when the airline is used. For kit fish
ing strong kites are flown, the string
carrying a small pulley, through which
the fish line runs. One end Of the fish
line is held by the fisherman on shore;
the other which is weighted, drops
from the pulley as the ascent is made
and dips into the sea. At the moment
when a fish snaps at the bait and is
hooked the fisherman feels the pull in
his line, the kite is quickly hauled in,
and the fish is dragged in at the same
time Mr.. Horsman has caught many
a fine sea fish in this way,-Pearson'a

South America has always been noted
,or revolutions and quick changes Of
no,,tical parties, but the present trou-
s,o IN Colombia and Venezuela sur
nasses all previous outbreaks for re-
rarkabe pecularitles, It Is doubtless.
ou real and tragic enough to those who
ere nskng their lives in the obscure

SANITY taking place, but to onlookers
An this country the situation Is not
without It's element OF comedy. In the
first place, not even the people most
concerned seem TO know what they are
fighting about. and, In the second, II
is becoming evident that someone is
playing South American politics in a
fashion that would satisfy even the
critical and experienced members Of the
Kentucky legislature Consider for a
moment this situation.
The president of Venezuela is Castro.
His foe Is Andrade, who was turned
out Of Office by Castro.
AIarroquln is the president of Colom-
ba.
His enemy Is Gen. Tribe Tribe a pro-
fcsslonal reyolutionist.
Gen. or "Dr. Rangel Garbiras, is a
Venezuelan secretly In Colombian en-
ploy,
Gen. Jose Manuel Hernandez Is an
eXiled Venezuelan, with an eye to the
presidency.
President Castro Of Venezuela and
Gen. Tribe Tribe are usually friends.
Castro has given Tribe Tribe material
help on several occasions.
President Marroquin Of Colombia nat
urally does not approve Of Castros
friendship for Tribe Tribe.
President Marroquin, In fact, Is so in
censed against Castro that he is sorry
there Is treaty Of peace between Ven
eZuela and Colombia.
President Marroquin. II should be
clearly understood is a politician of a
Kind able to correct the exercises or

Some months ago Gen. Tribe Tribe,
w tNNheVh ltNNluNiuIllsl VI lOlOIlDlh,
left South America to come to Nes
York. President MarroquIns spies in
formed him Of that fact.
Forthwith II seems TO have occurred
to President Marroquin that he had "a
most excellent chance to punish Presi-
dent Castro Of Venezuela for the way
In which he had helped Tribe Tribe.
President Marroquin's plan Of action was
one only possible OF execution In a
country accustomed to daily revolu-
lions.
Briefly summarized his plan was TO
send large detachment Of Colombian
troops to invade Venezuela, under the
leadership Of Gen. or. Or" Rangel
Garbiras. Az Garbiras had always
posed as a revolutionary follower OF
Gen. Hernandez, who in his time has
helped both Tribe Tribe and Andrade,
President Marroquin seems TO have
been sure Of impressing upon the Vene-
puelan president the Idea that the inva-
sion was made at the instance of both
Andrade and Hernandez. As the latter

the captured supplies needed by the
Insurgents that the insurreCtion almost
collapsed. That action II is supposed
was q direct bid for Colombian faN0F
on the part OF President Castro, but,
for some unaccountable reason, Inc
president OF Colombia affected to be-
lieve that the real reason for the cap
ture OF the ships was that President
Castro wanted the arms for n!s own
use.
While these presidential feuds have
their amusing features they are, never
theless watched with considerable
anxiety by those whose commercial
interests are concerned, More than
once there has been an attempt to con-
solidate the two countries OF Colombia
and Venezuela and It is realized that
