society. They imagine that these forms
are shams and hollow mockeries
This is not the case save in exceptional
instances. The rules for conduct. the
principles upon which we form our
manners. should all be based upon the
law of kindness. They must arise from
an unselfish desire to make others COM
Portable and happy. Without this I'M

ing investigated the proposed route for
a road along the south side of the kan
sas river from Auburndale to the brick
plant bridge.
The petitioners have asked that the
road be located between the Rock Is
land railroad tracks and the river. The
commissioners are not in favor of the
road as they consider it an unsafe To-
cation, with the railroad tracks on one
side and the river on the other. In three
places the space between the tracks and
the river is but SO feet and in another
place the space is but 40 feet. The
commissioners do not think that a good
road could be built along the proposed
route.
