state Roads and the uniyerslty.

It Is with great pleasure we note the
that the large sum OF money in the
State Treasury be used TO prepare one
Of the State schools for development
into a university and to give us State
system of roads. 1t is entirely clear
that the same money can be used for
both purposes the university need
only be assured of revenue in time
of need to begin its growth immediate
ly, and the sums invested in the roads
would be the best investment educa-
tional interests could desire. The
counties paying the revenue to the
university would make money, instead
of taxing property, because the road
would be worth far more than it would
cost in the permanent increase Of value
given to the lands along its route and
the encouragement afforded to invest.
ment, while the returns made by the
university would also pay dividends in
the brains that are worth dollars ten
TO one, or even sixteen TO one.
AS yet the discussion has confined
itself to the fundamental proposition,
but we hope the members-elect Of the
next Legislature will be ready to deal
practically with the responsibility of
having a sum so large in ready money.
Every day this is idle loss is inflicted
on the people Of the State and on great
public interests. Practically, the State
has no debt to pay, because she is her
own creditor, and to wipe out the
bonds would only give another sum
for investment. Clearly the money
should be invested in that great public
improvement which can best promise
safety and volume Of returns. TO drain

Saved His Master From a Bear.

The five-year-old son Of John Lu'
kens, living on a farm east of Hanton
postoffice, in southeastern Shasta, was
saved from death by faithful shep'
herd dog. The boy had gone into the
woods with his elder brother hunting,
and the dog accompanied them as COM
pany for the small boy, to whom he
was firmly attached.
A short distance from the farm the
elder Lukens sped a squirrel and gave
chase. the little boy and dog staying
behind. In short time the cries of
the child and baying Of the dog
brought the elder Lukens boy back
to the spot where he had left them.
The dog had nearly finished a good.
sized brown bear IN bloody fight.
The bear had evidently attacked the
boy and handled him roughly, as sew.
eral severe scratches and cuts were
found on his head. The dog appar.
entity sprang to the rescue and saved
the youngsters life. The bears hide
now adorns the Lukcns' sitting-room

The Rally For Liberty.

"Gentlemen," said. the speaker, ris-
ing to his full height and almost car
rying his hearers off their feet with
his matchless eloquence, 'the time has
come for us to assert our independ-
ence. We are free-born citizens. God
has given us as birthright the privil.
ege of governing ourselves as We see
fit We bow our knee to no kings and
no princes. We have only ourselves
TO blame if we permit others to deny
the liberty that our fathers have be-
queathed to us-the liberty made sa-
cred by their hallowed blood. appeal
to you, my fellow citizens, to arise in
your might. Let us exhibit our man

lesson Of independence. Let us"

the doors were locked and the great
rally for liberty was one Of the things

VN an address before the American
Society for Municipal Improve
ment, delivered at the ninth annual
n session, held in Rochester, n. Y,
on October 0. Nelson p. Lewis, Chair.
man of the Committee on Street Paw
ing, made the following remarks con-
cerning pavements in the smaller cities
and suburban districts:
"In the forty-six papers on street
paving read before the society little at
tention has been given to the improve
ments which are of most interest to the
smaller cities and suburban districts,
where permanent and costly pave
ments are out of the question, while
the subject of interurban roads has not
been touched upon.
whenever suburban districts are
added to our cities there is immediate
ly presented the problem not only of
maintaining such improved streets or
roads as the new territory may pos
sess, but the extension of those in'
provements on a scale suitable to the
needs and requirements Of the commu-
nifty.
at is time, therefore, that the sub.
iect Of roads, as distinguished from
city streets--a subject which has thus
far been neglected in our meetings
should receive the consideration which
it's growing Importance merits. The
building Of a system of roads 10 con
meet different cities and towns, IL left
to the initiative of the towns them
selves. would be almost impossible Of
consummation. The State alone is ca
pable of planning and executing such
an Improvement. The first State to
take up this question on an extensive
scale was New Jersey which has now
a splendid system Of highways connect
ing nearly every city and village with
in its borders. Massachusetts has for
some years been creating an excellent
system of modern roads. During the
last few years New York has devoted
, much attention to the subject OF roads
and many miles of fine highway have
been built and are under construction
Michigan also is intensely interested
in the question of well-built highways.
"It will be seen that the propaganda,
which may be fairly said to have been
started by the blcyclists a few years
ago, has been steadily gaining ground.
The automobile is now an important
ally of the good roads advocate. High
speed cranks are, however, the worst
enemy Of the good roads cause
"But the building and maintenance
of macadam roads are not only OF in
terest to the small city and good roads
enthusiast. Many Of our larger cities
have miles of their streets so improved,
and they are, as a rule. grossly neglect
ed while such repairs as are made are
carried out in an unintelligent and eX-
/ travagant manner. The proper build
| ing and intelligent care Of such roads,
therefore, cannot be a matter Of indif.
/ ference to our larger cities, but it is of
the most vital Importance"

Brave Rogue, Good Soldier.

"a brave rogue will make good
soldier" wrote the kaiser on report
setting forth that Johann Schmitz,
afraid Of being drafted as a recruit,
went to bed with his trousers on and
twenty bees in the pockets Of same
this during the night preceding the day
of inspection. Johann fondly hoped
TO be judged "unfit' If his leg was
swollen and stiff, owing to the impris.

Useless Beauty.

l have before me photograph of a
silver ever Of the school Of Benyenuto
Cellini. Its general outline is graceful
in the abstract being one which, with
many minor variations, characterizes
a large class Of Greek vases. But the
neck is so small, and the shoulder Of
the body is so pronounced, that the
vessel would have to be completely
inverted TO empty it. The ornamental
handle is shaped and adjusted with
no respect to facility Of grasp, OF
ease of pouring. 1t rises from the top
Of the shoulder close to the neck, so
that. 1t would require painful effort
to tilt the jug when filed. 1t is rem
dered further difficult to handle by
very salient ornaments which leave
no portion smooth enough for com.
fort to the hand A silver cup with
handles, of the same school Of work
men, has a rim which flares so that it
must be difficult TO drink from, and
the handles, here also, are armed with
projecting points Of ornament painful
TO grasp. OF the numerous silver plates
by Cellini and his followers, few, If
any, could be made serviceable on ac-
count of the ornaments in high relief
with which their surfaces are loaded.
The forms of these objects ere not al
ways beautiful even in the abstract;
but in respect to adaptation to use
they are often ridiculous, and as mod
els they can be only stumbling-blocks
to the craftsman.--Charles NJ. Moore,

Fourth, If you hear a noise in the
house. and your wife hears it and
wants you to go down in the cellar
with light, don't go. Don't light the
gas, either, to see what the noise Is
about. The darkness makes q perfect
shelter for the burglar. while the light
makes of you q perfect target for his
bullet. Many men have been shot TO
death or wounded because they fol-
lowed the natural impulse to get up
and strike light. Get your revolver
well gripped, lie still and await devel-
opments, which are sure TO come if the
noise is caused by a burglar. Ii he
comes into your room fire at him as
soon as you can discern his shadowy
form. If you wish to investigate, do
your exploring in the darkness. You
know your own house; the intruder
does not. You place the boot on the
other foot when you follow t'Ns, the
unusual plan. for you are in the dark,
and IL he is kindly packing up your sill
verware from your dining room side
board to save your hired girl the trou-
bic Of keeping it clean, you can kill
him easily il you have the requisite
nerve. II you haven't, lock your door,
stick your heard out Of the window,
call for the police and fire OFF your
gun. You will then scare the fellow
away. at least.
Fifth, if you have neither revolver
nor nerve, and you hear Il burglar in
the house or think you do, just lie
still and scream good and loud If
you are a woman, and give a Com
anche yell If you are man. The
chances Of your being shot are thus
lessened than if you got up and raised
the roof with your voice. He will
take the hint and get out quick If you
happen to wake up and find him in
your room and you are timid, let him
have your valuables and you lie very
still You may replace your valuables,
but not the life he will take If you are
foolhardy enough to taclle him bare
handed.
