American Roads superior.

England. until recently. has boosted
of its steam railroads with scarcely a
dissenting voice. But Englishmen who
have travelled in the United States tell
a different story on their return. AL
though English railroads have the ad-
vantage of elevated or depressed
tracks. so that they are not troubled
with grade crossings, they do not make
the speed or run punctually as do
American roads. The United States
can set an example to the world in the
successful operation of railways. The
American railroad gives the traveller
more comfort, more speed. better con-
nections, and in nearly every particu-
lar more value for his money, than he
can get at the same rate on any rail.

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS.

the few remaining stage routes In TINS
section of the country and has a his
tory of fascinating interest. In early
days the old stage route from Freeport
to Rock Island was infested by the
prairie bandits" the band of muir
ders and robbers that was broken up
by Detective Bonney and the "Regula-
tors of the early '30s. 1t was along
this route that Bonney took the muir
derers of Colonel Davenport to Rock
Island, holding pistols to their heads
as the bandits rode up to the stage and
preventing the rescue of the prisoners
1t was along this route that the under
ground railroad" of ante-bellum days
ran, and the old stage brought dis
guised slaves to the homes of Ivory
Colcord and other Abolitionists in the
region of Coleta. After the war there
were several murders along the line be-
tween Milledgeville and Sterling, the
last one being the killing of George
Kaufman four years ago, Of whose
murderers the officers and detectives
have never been able to find the slight
est clew.
The country now is thickly settled,
substantial farm houses and occasional
churches and schools line the route, but
the road is beset with many difficulties.
The spring freshets swell the Elkhorn
Greek into a raging torrent, sometimes
sweeping men and horses from the road
to meet death in the stream. Through
Jordan Township a graveled road goes
over the hills, and the descent to the
plains of Genesee is made on the peril
Gus slope of the big Mound" where,
in the winter, treacherous snow banks
hide the gullies and where accidents
are common the year around.
Another Sterling woman. Miss Ethel
Wahl, sister of Deputy Sheriff Frank

mail routes out of Sterling, and has

He Believed He'd Remain.

An absent-minded farmer had an I'M
fortunate experience at a Memphis
hotel. which has induced him to jot
down a few important words for use
the next time he goes to the city.
He registered at the desk shortly af-
fer supper, and hung about the Office
until 8 o'clock, when he remarked to
the clerk that he believed he would
remain"
Every WELL" said the affable clerk.
Another hour went by, and the old
farmer came again to the desk, and OBJ
served with decision:
Il say, l believe I'll remain"
"Of course, by all means, If you
wish" again replied the clerk.
AS the clock struck eleven the old
man. now so sleepy that he could bare
" keep his eyes open. angrily called
out:
"By gum, say believe I'll remain.
Certainly, so you've said" answer
cd the clerk. land when you're ready
to retire you can find your key at the
desk
Retire. yelled the farmer, jump
ing TO his feet. That's the word I've
been trying to think of for two hours

tomorrow to make up for lost timer

and strolls out upon one of the coun-
try roads, where he almost invariably
finds companion going the same way.
