ecstasy of welcome had a guest one
evening who did not go in so much for
dogs as he did for bachelor girls. The

didn't care for dogs. and the former
had taken refuge under table.
DO you really think dogs are worth
while" asked the man.
Make a gesture as though you were
to strike me-" replied the girl.
The man did so. In an instant the
small friend that n moment before had
been beaten and had crawled under
the table to brood over his wrongs was
standing beside his mistress with hnc
kles up and teeth cleaning. growing

1t is gratifying to note that the south
ern trunk lines have taken up this mat
ter of good roads and are pushing the
movement with vigor. There is per-
haps tinge Of seltishness to this rail-
road activity. as better roads mean an
increased volume Of freight. but the
movement is none the less praisewOr-
thy for that. The railroads are ex-
pending vast sums In impressing south
erners with the benefit of good roads
and illustrating their argument with
the construction of well drained and
well laid out dirt highways. graded
and kept according to scientific engi-
neering principles. says the Richmond
(VaJ Times. In carrying out this good
work these roads are looking long
way ahead-looking in fact, to a time
when the country farmer will be able

ROADS IN DELAWARE.
The State Badly In Need Of Better
Highways.

From one end Of Delaware to the
other goes up the cry for good roads.
The old time patching methods and
the dumping of mud on the roads. only
to he washed away by the next rain,
carry off the hard earned money paid
by the farmers for road taxes.
The first step for good roads will be
taken this season when the cOnvicts
will furnish broken stone with which
to begin the work of building a solid
state road. says the Philadelphia North
American. Water and narrow tires
are two causes which contribute to the
ruin Of ronds The rut from a passing
wagon forms the trough for rain. and
the next wagon simply digs deeper,
and the destruction continues. Wide
tires roll and harden the surface. and
every wide tired wagon and traction
engine becomes road roller.
A movement is now on foot to have a
wide tire law enacted by the next leg
islature. Every wagon which cuts up
the roads can be changed into help
i'm making better roads. The recent
storm left in its wake wagons and
carriages by the hundreds in the state
as a monument to bad roads. Turn
where you may. broken vehicles are
lying by the roadside. telling Of the
February storm and the bad roads Of
Delaware.
