THATSLY VISIT-Gov. Longino and
President Roosevelt seem to he getting
upon quite intimate terms; great deal
more intimate than Democrats and Re-
publicans have been in the habit of be-
ing in times past. The recent sly visit
made by the governor to Washington
is to be followed, if all reports are true,
by visit OF the president to Mississippi
for the purpose of going bear hunting
with Gov. Longino. There may yet be
few bears in the swampso Of Mississippi,
but they are not as plentiful as political
tricksters and applicants for federal jobs.

THE SIZE OF FAIRIES.
Creatures who Live In the Poetry
OF the EIizubethnn Age.

Readers of Elizabethan poetry are
familiar with fairies who fashion coats
from a bats wing. fans from those Of
butterflies, coverlets from the skins of
snakes, wage war with spiders and
make expeditions on the backs of flies.
Writers have commonly assumed that
such mlnutencsS was the product of
poetic fancy, which reduced these spir-
its to n size much below that admitted
by popular belief. but this is an error.
Folklore supplies us with abundant
more than single straw, who emerge
from a mOlchill and make thread
bridge In order to traverse Il keyhole.
Concordant Is the testimony of Ian
guagc, as when the foXylove passes for
being a fairy cap.
If q size so reduced cannot allow his
toricaI Interpretation. still less does
fayS who In power do not differ from
their larger cousins. Queen Nab, no
larger than the jewel of Il ring, is yet
elats,ed with the functions of Il birth
goddess. The least fairy can steal
tfAse or a baby; tenuity is of less con-
srrnSce, since any tiny sprte can at
van assume gigantic proportions. The
fairies who I'm one canton are repre-
sented as dwartsh in the next may be
described as gigantic.
The contrast, which cannot be ac
counted for as arising from historical
memories. may be easily explained by
the early modes of concelving nature.
In prehistoric conception Il mountain
might pass for large man, a river for
n tall one, while the inmates of petty
hilfocks would naturally be imagined
as possessing form corresponding to
the narrow limits of their habitants.-

built to grind out dividends. They We're
built for the people, for the commuri-
tvs good. They have always been Op-
Grated as toll roads, those who use
them willingly paying the small fee ex-
acted for the privilege.
The county encouraged the early good
roads builders by offering to become an
equal shareholder with the people. The
municipality of Clarksville subscribed
for $1,000 worth of stock, and the farm
ers living along the surveyed route
helped the movement by contributing
the right of way.
The uniform width of the roads Is
thirty feet. In their construction a
grade twenty feet wide was thrown up
on the route of the survey. Some pOr-
tons of the roads cross many hills and
valleys. making considerable grading
necessary in places. Upon the graded
bed a stratum of gravel twelve inches
deep was originally laid. The road was
then ready for use, and few months
of traffic packed the gravel SO solidly
that it became as smooth as floor.
Among the later benefits derived by
the community from the splendid road
system is the establishment of rural
free delivery mail route by the govern
mcnt. The carriers leave Clarksville at
o'clock each morning and by noon
have completed the circuit Of the town.
ship, delivering the days mail to near
~ every farmhouse.
No tax is levied upon the people for
the maintenance of the roads. They
are sustained wholly by the revenue
derived from the tolls. While the old
turnpike road. dotted here and there
with it's tollhouses, Is regarded in some
parts of the country as relic of years
agonc, yet the system is so entirely sat
isfactory and the results are so patent
that there seems to be no inclination
on the part of those most interested to
discontinue the toll system. 1t is argued
and very logically that the county
could not legslly levy a tax upon all
the people of the county for the main
tenance of road system peculiar to
Gly particular community. The ex-
rcnse OF keeping the roads in repair is
not nearly equal, mile for mile, to that
required to keep dirt roads in even
passable condition.
