A MUCH-TRAVELED KING.
eign Lands as Prince and
Ruler.

Alexander and Caesar, Hannibal
and Peter the Great must be accounted
mere stay-at-homes compared with
Edward VII. Before he was of age as
prince of Wales, besides visiting most
of the European courts, he had passed
across the Atlantic-nO holiday affair
in 1S60-on his tour through Canada
and his visit to the United States. He
witnessed Niagara illuminated and he
saw Blondin carry man pick-a-back
across the falls. Side by side with
President Buchanan he stood at the
graveside of WashingtOn-the man
who had wrested an empire from his
great-grandfathe George Ill, says
the London Outlook.
Later, under the guidance OF Dean
Stanley, he saw the holy land. He has
ascended the great pyramid. He has
steamed up the Nile and traversed the
Suez canal. He has threaded the OAR
danelles with a sultan of Turkey and
accompanied the remains of car
from the Crimea to the Kremlin at
Moscow. The glories of Athens and
of its modern northern prototype are
alike familiar to him. From Colombo
to Connomara, from Nepaul to New
foundland, this spacious yet daily mar
rowing globe of ours is to King Ed
ward an open book.

CARRIED OUT HIS PLANS.
Last Request of a Dying Millionaire
Obeyed by His Mourning
Children.

A millionaire had died. There had
been great apparent grief among those
who had been most substantially re-
membered. And some real-for-sure re-
greet among those who had expected to,
and hadn't got a dollar, relates the
Baltimore American.
The funeral was over. The million
aires sons had gathered for confer
ence. Among the pet plans of the old
mans declining days was magnificent
palace, on whose style of construc-
ton he had disagreed with every other
member of the family.
''You will remember" said the eldest
son, choking back his emotion wonder
fully well, that it was the last request
that we carry out every plan he had
made regarding the new house"
Eyes," they groaned in chorus.
swell, l have arranged that it be
done.'
Thereupon he piled all the plans of
his fathers architect into a large
wastebasket and bore them triumph
antly out to the rubbish bin in the
back alley.
81 may say truthfully that it is
pleasure to carry out the plans, even
though we disagreed in their forming"
replied the young man as he returned
with the empty basket.

CHANGE BADLY NEEDED.
Our Road System, as Now in Vogue
in Most States, Is the Worst
Kind of Failure.

With the ground full of water when
it froze up and with fairly open win
ter and liberal amount of rain during
the latter part, we have a new empha-
sis placed upon the good roads problem
in some sections having newly estab-
lished free delivery mail routes. When
the patrons are shut in for three or
four days at time without their mall,
the roseate hue of the new system
begins to fade away. The establish
ment Of centralized school systems
will present still another argument
for road improvement. In many see
tions of the prairie the pavement of
roads with stone or even gravel is very
expensive owing to q lack of such ma
terials in those localities. Very great
improvement may, however, be made
with the materials at hand. Dirt roads
can be made that will be passable I'M
der practically all kinds of weather and
that, during the greater part of the
year, will be very good roads. One of
the most universal failings of our roads
is lack Of proper undertakings. This
is the first essential of good road, re-
gardless of the kind of material used
for the surface. Stone or any other
kind of paving will not keep in shape
on top of a soft, spongy, water-soaked
foundation. With a porous reservoir
beneath the roadbed, into which the
water taken up thereby can persoIate.
the old mudhOle without a bottom will
be thing of the past. Perhaps the
next most important step in the Sc
curing of better roads is provision
whereby they will have constant at
tention and repairs will be made
promptly before the disorder becomes
extensive. This will involve the abol-
ishment of the old-fashioned system
whereby the road work is done by the
farmers when they have nothing else
to do, and will involve also the payment
of the road taxes in cash and the en-
ployment of competent man by the
year, who will devote his whole time to
the work, and, with crew of men con-
stantly at work. will repair defects
whenever and wherever they occur.
and such improvements as are made
will be made at the time when the
work can be done the most economical
ly and the best results be obtained,
rather than when it suits the convent
ence of those performing the work.
This change of system has been tried
in number of places in different states
and is found entirely satisfactory and
to give much better results than the
old method. One of thechief stumbling
blocks in the way of inaugurating this
new system is the objection on the
part of the farmers to paying their
road taxes in cash. but when they
once try it they prefer it to the old
way. 1t is the universal experience
that the same expenditure of money
gives a far better road service under
this system. Those who have the time
and would prefer to work out their
taxes can offset the cash payment by
hiring out to the road engineer for
such time as they may choose. Few
realize how much more effective road
work is when done at the right time.

Dynamite in free PIant,nr

When transplanting young trees
success is half insured if the ground
is perfectly prepared in advance. We
find that thorough subsoilng is a sure
way of obtaining success This can
be best accomplished by making a
hole, with a long crow-bar, in the
ground where the tree is to stand.
Let it be three or four feet deep.
Place one-ffth of stick of dynamite
deep down in the hole and fire it off.
After the firing you will find the
loosened up quite deep. making it
easier for the. roots of the tree to
penetrate into the soil.-L. o. Folio.

The rest Farmer Defined.

The best farmer is not always the
one who derives the most profit from
a farm. Happening to grow certain
crops that failed to grow elsewhere,
or a chance rise in the price of some
product, may result favorably to any
one who is so situated as to take adj
vantage of opportunities. A good
farmer keeps his house and grounds
in perfect order, weeds are not al
lowed to his farm, he uses the best
broods of animals and the most pro-
ductive varieties of plants, while the
farm is not allowed to depreciate in
fertility.
