Chipping" which has always
been considered an un-Amer,can
custom, appears to be on the de-
crease at home and abroad. The
Pullman car porters are asking for
more pay largely on the ground that
their incomes from tips are growing
less every year. The American
abroad, too, appears to be growing
a bit more thrifty, as is evidenced
by the following from the Daily
Mail of London: "Visitors from
America this year are as numesous
as ever; but, apparently, as the
American tourist increases in num-
Der he increases also in thrif,lness.
Cabmen, porters and hotel servants
are at one in declaring that the
average American is The least re-
muneEative of their clients. This
establishes a new reputation for the
American abroad" At the rate at
which things are going at present it
may be that some day an European
hotel will be something more than a
place where a guest rents the pri-
vilege from the landlord of paying
the servants for what he GETS

bad Roads.

To the Lafayette Gazette
Nothing will retard the settling up o,
our parish and the prosperity of our farmers
| SO much as bad roads. No farmer can live
and be prosperous where he has nearly hall
the year to drag his crops through swamr
and mud holes axletree deep to ge, them
to market.
No country or people can prosper where
they allow the roads TO get in such a horrid
state of repair IA great portion of the year,
as they do in the parish of Lafayette.
Every farmer and every man living OF
doing business in the parish is eithe,
directly or indirectly injured by our bad
roads. For example, about three years ago
when we had such a long cold and wet spell
OF weather that great many cattle through
out the country starved and were chilled to
death.
certain man who lived within three O.,
four miles of Lafayette and who owned owe,
a thousand acres of land aud several hun
dred head of cattle, found that the storm
was lasting SO long and SO cold that his
cattle were starving and chilling to death
for the want of something to eat.
He came to J. c. Nickerson, living in
town. who had three stacks of COW pea hay
tor sale, and offered him ten ($Io) per ton
for it if he would deliver it. Nickerson
told him that the roads were in SO bad a
condition that he could not deliver IT for
twenty dollars per ton. The farmer went
by good authority that he lost over seventy
hive (75) head. In another case two farmers,
who were in partnership, owned five or six
hundred acres of land within five or six
miles of Lafayette and a large drove of
cattle and a fine lot of calves. These
farmers lived in town.
One day after the storm had lasted three
or four weeks one said to the other,
''Hadn't you better go out and see how the
stock are getting along?" He said, eyes,
am going out today When he came
back his partner asked him how the stock
we're getting along. He said, every poorly
indeed, the calves are all dead and some
of the old stock are missing and the rest are
very hungry and badly chilled with the
:old rains" His partner said, s.Whv
1on't you feed them some corn? We have
nearly two cribs of it,.
son. he said, @'that would never do, |
We must save that to feed the mules in the |
prlng when we are putting in our crops'' |
''Then why don't you 60 and buy some
lay for them?''
He said that wouldn't pay, the roads
re so bad that it would cost more than the
attic are WORTH
Therefore the cattle were left to starve
nd de- That was dead loss to these two
r three farmers of over two thousand dol
ars, and an Indirect loss to the parish and
very man doing business in it. The above are
My two or three cases out of several hundred
throughout the parish who have lost more
r less by having bad roads, vet when
invention is called to devise a better svs-
I'm OF working our roads, they don't feel
lterested enough to attend it. 1 think that

Latest Literary News.

The sale of thousands of copies of a ten
cent magazine at one dollar apiece was a
very curious happening at the time of the
Chicago Worlds Fair. The Cosmopolitan
prepared a Worlds Fair number, contri-
buted to by many famous writer's, and so
thoroughly illustrated that it surpassed even
the most expensive book which had up to
that time been issued. In those days the
magazine was printed from two sets of
plates only, and when these were worn out
it was impossible, without a great loss of
time, to put further editions on the press
The newsdealers. taking advantage of this
condition, raised the price of The Cosmopo-
copy. A few sales were even made toward
the close at the phenomenal figure of five
dollars. Undoubtedly this happening is
unique in the history of magazine literature
The Cosmopolitan will endeavor to repeat
its past success, with Pan-American Ex-
position Number, which will be even more
attractive. if possible, than its Worlds Fair
predecessor.
The most famous writer's of the country
have been invited to take part in the pre-
Paration of this issue. After many davs'
careful study of all the wonderful scenes of
the Exposition, more than a hundred photo
graphs have been prepared, which, taken as
a whole, give thorough conception of the
marvels of this Exposition.
1t is doubtful if any book, selling at
forty times the price of the magazine will
give any description of the Fair which will
approach in interest and artistic value the
September Cosmopolitan.
Those who visit the Fair will preserve
this number as delightful reference book
IN the years to come, ana those who are |
unable TO go there will secure such COM
view of its main attractions as |
will be we'll worthy of preservation.

Women in Politics.

Ainslee's Magazine.
If men wish to keep women out
of the pool of politics they will do
well to make haste and give them
all they ask along these lines, for
there is no other way to stay their
advance. Already the small edge
of the wedge has made its way far
into the oak of resistance. In
Wyomine, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho women have full suffrage,
including a vote for presidential
electors. In Arkansas and Missouri
women may vote on petition on the
granting of saloon licenses. In
Delaware municipal suffrage exists
In several towns. In Montana
women may vote on local taxation.
In a number of cities in New York
they may vote on the issuance of
bonds for public improvements. In
Pennsylvania women may vote on
local improvements by petitioning
for or against them.
