Improved roads should go along
with rural free delivery for the
mails. One great trouble with
road building is that it has been
left too much with raw hands.
There is a right way and a wrong
way to do everything and road
building is no exception. The
great thing is to learn how to use
the best material at hand in the
best way, and there is no depart
ment in which this principle shows
to better effect than the real road
improve. As for the whoa hysh-
haw-buck" style of building roads
the sooner it gives place to genuine
road improvement the better.

Does the Rather Talk Z?

"What is rattlesnake's rattle for?'
said John Lover, the zoo keeper, In re-
sponse to question by a Philadelphia
Record man.

his own question. ''The rattlesnake
with 1t calls his mate. A man was
telling me the other day that he

call that the rattle is used. though diff

and these sounds appear to have differ

"Once this man saw seven hogs at

to fight pluckily, and while he fought

An attempt to bull Jersey Central
stocks, conducted at the same time as

Keene might have succeeded in his

Oh! here, beneath this roof of green,
| throw me down and dream again
The golden dreams of what has been
And future harvests yet TO gaiu!
The wheat waves in the field close by,
An apple, ripened ere it's time,
Drops from the tree, the suns great ey
Seeks through the leaves, and, as
rhyme,
The birds weave to and fro and sing
The very songs l would declare,
And now and then the branches swing
Stirred gently by wandering air.
The binders, clicking in the wheat,
The whistle of a passing train,
The distant noises of the street.
Are to my song a low refrain.
To-day. To-day rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In solitude on twigs of pence
The fruits that only dreamers know.

Cold April Every 100 Years.

French meteorologists have worked
out the theory that exceptionally frig-
i'd Aprils occur at intervals of exactly
100 years. In April, 1903, the cutters
were frozen and snow fell in Paris.
In April. 1903, the price of wood rose
and people died Of cold in the streets,
while chronicler of the period writes:
There is snow at Versailles and we
are perishfng of cold at Paris at a
season when the sun ought to be
warming US. The north winds af11ict
us, bringing us cold from the noun
tains." Documentary evidence is not
needed to prove that April, 1903, was
also distinguished by low tempera-
lures.

WORLD NEEDs THE BIBLE.
BY Rev. G.. X. Wallace.

Man needs a revelation of deity.
Greece, the brain of the world in its
clearest p%hilosophic age, had its
Athens with an altar bearing the pitt
eous inscription, ITO the unknown
Cod" Socrates, the greatest pagan
thinker, acknowledged this need of
revelation, saying: I'VE must of ne
cessity wait till some one from Him
who careth for US shall come and in
struct us how we ought to behavs
toward God and toward men, Plato
said: I'VE cannot know of ourselves
what petition will be pleasing to God,
or what worship we should pay to
him, but it is necessary that n lawgiy-
en- should be sent from heaven to in
struct us. Oh, how greatly do l long
to see that man.
Man needs a revelation of duty. An

tics give us no code of morals COM
parable to the Bible code. Those fa-

tory Of Greece and Rome in their
balmiest days, rs well as the writings
and lives Of modern skeptics, such as
Rousseau, Voltaire. Paine md others,
need no demonstration of the worlds
