Improvement of Public Roads.

Three public road bills to carry
out the provisions of the act of
1897 came to the Senate from the
State Highway Commission, COM
posed of Hibberd B. Worrell,
president; A. j. Cassatt, William
l.. Elkins, H. N. Breckenridge,
JamesA. Beaver and H.C. Snavely.
One bill appropriates 81, 100000
to the Department of Agriculture
to construct and maintain roads
in accordance with that act. An
other bill makes the act take eff
feet in January, 1902, and orders
distribution of the money among
the townships in proportion to the
number of miles of roads, no
township to get more than shall
be raised by local taxation includ-
ing work and money tax. The
third bill prescribes petitioning
from the township authorities
and consequent investigation by
the Agricultural Department con-
corning sharing the money.
The Commissions report de-
tails results of correspondence
with all the townshipson the best
means to the desired end.

Recent experiments show that
all classes of foods may be COM
pletely digested by preparation
called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
which absolutely digests what
you eat. AS it is the only combi-
nation of all the natural digest
ants ever devised the demand for
it has become enormous. 1t has
never failed to cure the very
worst cases of Indigestion and it
always gives instant relief.

Sand.

I observed locomotice in the railroad
yards one day.
1t was waiting in the roundhouse, where
the locomotives stay;
1t was painting for the journey; it was
coaled and fully manned,
And it had box the fireman was fill
ing full of sand.
1t appears that locomotives cannot al
ways get a grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip,
And when they reach a slippery spot
their tactics they command,
And to get grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with sand.
If your track is steep and hilly, and
you have heavy grade,
And If those who've gone before you
avetherailsquite slippery made,
II you ever reach the summit of the
upper tableland,
You'll find you'll have to do it with
liberal use of sand.
If you strike some frigid weather and
discover to your cost
That you're liable to slip on heavy
coat of frost,
Then some prompt, decided action will
be called into demand,
you haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on
life's schedule seen
If there's fire beneath the boiler of am
bitions strong machine,
And you'll reach place called Rich
townatarate ofspeedthat' grand
II for all the slippery places you've a
good supply of sand.

A curious idea has just been
put in operation in Berlin. Ar
rangements have been made
whereby parents of the poorer
classes in the city and country
may temporarily exchange their
children, in order that the city
children may learn something of
country life and profit physical
ly by their outings, while the
country children may secure the
liberal education which town life
affords. Thus far the scheme
has worked smoothly.

An exchange says; When you
run across man who is contin-
ually criticising a county news
paper, you will find he is a man
who couldn't write an article
one inch long, describing a dog
or prize fight, and that he nine
times out of ten borrows his
neighbours paper to read.

E. b. Munday, lawyer of Hen
rietta, Tex, once fooled a grave
digger. He says; "My brother
was very low with malarial fever
and jaundice. | persuaded him
to try Electric Bitters, and he was
soon much better, but continued
their use until he was wholly cur,
ed. | am sure Electric Bitters
saved his life. " This remedy ex-

A woman is considered bright
by the other women by the num-
ber of kinds of a fool she can
make of man in five minutes.
Some people would hitch bet
ter and pull more evenly if they
had but one tongue between them
like team Of horses in a wagon.
The girl or woman who keeps
her hat on at place of amuse-
ment is relic of the nineteenth
century. Twentieth century Ia
dies take them off.
Every time woman sits up
half the night acting sweet to
lot of men, she wakes up the next
morning and acts ugly to the one
she is married to.
The grip makes one feel as
though all ones friends had gone
back on him, and they just want
to give him kick and inform him
to get off their track, and you
feel like doing it, too.
Edward Everett Hale gives the
following three good rules for
life: FIRST, live as much as pos
sible in the open air; second,
touch elbows with the rank and
file; third, talk every day with a
man you know to be your super
iOr.
81 notice." said Uncle Allen
Sparks, "a couple of our learned
professors have found the secret
of long life. 1t is simply to have
plenty of salt in the system. If
that's true-and I'm not saying
it isn't-Lot's wife ought to be
alive to-day. Which l believe she
is not "
Parents should see that their
children attend school regularly
and only when it is imperatively
necessary should they be permit
ted to miss a session. Remem-
ber that an education is a legacy
you can leave your children that
adversely cannot deprive them of.
Senator Binkley, of the Indiana
state senate, says that never in
his life has he been in need of
money, and never has he needed
anything that he could not buy.
He attributes this to rule he
has of never spending all that he
earns, and to the economy of his
wife.
In travelling now days and
stopping at almost any of the
leading hotels, if you desire to he
nicely cared for, you want to
cough up dime or quarter for
the porter or waiter among one of
the first things you do, so as TO
INSURE quick service and good at
tchtion.

Anaristocratis a Democrat with
his pocket filed.
FNstidiousness is merely the
ignorance of prosperity.
Honest men are scarce and are
going to be scarcer.
Prudery is nothing more than
coquetry going to seed.
Pleasure is like hornet-gen-

Hope is a hen that lays more

Success is a coquet and a
bashful lover never wins her.
Flattery is like cologne water,
to be smelt of, not swallowed.
Bliss is happiness boiling over
and running down both sides of
the pot.
Conceited people are like eggs,
too full of themselves to hold any
thing else.
The cross man goes through
life like sore headed dog follow

Laughing is the sensation of
feeling good all over and showing
it in one spot.
A gentleman about town" is
one who pays everything but his
debts.
Rumor is like a swarm of bees
the more you fight them the
less you get rid of them.
Marriage is an altar on which
man lays his pocketbook and wo-

Honesty is like money;you have
got to work hard to get it, and
then work hard to keep it.
Anxiety is milking a kicking
heifer with one hand and holding

Incredulity is the wisdom of a
fool; it is only a wise man who
can afford to be credulous.
The positive man bets his last
dollar on card and loses, then

Kiss-the only way to define

and smack your lips.
Friendship is like earthenware,
if it is broken it can be mended;
but loveis like mirror-once bro
ken that ends it.
Adversity is a poultice which

Rabbits Leaving.

Farmers and huntsmen State
that the rabbits are coming down
out of the mountains and are
leaving in droves. They are
migrating south. A farmer com
ing into town the other morning,
says Cumberland Alleganian, met
drove of the little animals in the
road. They skipped into thick
ct until the men passed and then
continued on their journey.
1t is said by the old people that
this is sign of late cold spring,
that the winter having been such
an open one, the rabbits have eat
en- everything upon which they
are accustomed to feed and know
ing that severe spell of winter
is yet to come are searching for
new fields and pastures green.

The extent to which women
have invaded the occupations at
one time almost exclusively oc-
cupied by men is one of the most
remarkable occurrences of the
past half century. 1t has been
estimated that fifty years ago but
one woman was at work in gain
full employments to every ten
men; to-day the ratio is one to
four. Thirty years ago two
thirds of all he self-supporting
women We're employed as domes-
tic help; at the present time not
more than one-third are so EN-
ployed. Has the latter change
been for the bettery Many think
not.
