not be q misnomer.

The Office of township trustee will be
no sinecure durin. the coming year,
1t is we'll known that the legislature,
says an exchange, has revolutionized
the system of working the rural high
ways, Heretofore the townships were
divided into road districts with road
supervisors who had charge of the
highways in their own particular dis.
tricts and whose duty it was to see that
taxes were worked out by those against
whom they we're assessed. This has
been changed by the abolition OF the
road district system. Hereafter the
township trustees will have charge of
the highways of the entire township.
and it will be their duty to employ a
superintendent who will have charge
of the work upon the highways. The
roadtaxes hereafter will be paid entire.
ly in money! and the uperintendent
will hire such hands as he needs to
keep the roads in repair. No doubt
the change from one system to the
other will be the cause of no little
friction, and the condition of the high
ways of various townships will depend
largely upon the executive ability of
those men who have been elected town
ship trustees. They are going to have
no little trouble in the selection of
good men for road superintendent and
that township is going to be best
served whose trustees are fortunate in
the selection of a man for that posi-
tion. Among the questions already
agtating the supervisors is the dispo
sition of road scrapers and other tools
belonging to certain road districts

TUGS AT HIS ANCHOR.

Our esteemed friend the Arion
Anchor has worked up quite case of
hysteria, over very pertinent sugges-
tion made by the REVIEW that it give
credit for the items it copies from
other papers. The REVIEW did not
intend to hurt the Anchors feelings
so badly. What thai paper says about
the REVIEW taking news from other
papers without credit is false SO far as
the REVIEW or its management Is con-
cerned. AS to the acts of discharged
employ ee, perhaps that was one OF the
reasons ave discharged him. Ii the
editor Of the Anchor is such splendid
news gatherer as he modestly admits
himself to be, he can surely afford to
give due credit to his weaker srethern
of the county press for their feeble eff
forts. We believe the other editors OF
the county will agree that this is their
due. Naturally we all look up to the
Anchor editor, as the incompatible
and uncorrupted Nestor OF Crawford
county journalism. He is wonder.
We admit it. We honor him no less
for the greatness of his intellect than
for that study integrity, that sterling
manhood which has made his name a
household word wherever he has
honored any place with his residence.
Charter Oak has never recovered from
the blow of his departure. Since going
to Arion The Anchor has doubled
the population of that thriving city, 1t
has established mills, elevators anG
many oJher industries in its columns.
Its editor is an indefatig BILE WORKER,
nothing escapes his argurs eye. but this
is a II the more reason why he should
have that feeling of "noblesse oblige,"
that would compel him to be honest
with his less gifted fellow workers who
are working hard to publish papers IN
such insignificant towns as Denison,
Charter OAK, Manila, Dow City and
Vail. Let the Anchor be e-cnristened

ing Out of Mere Curiosity.
Between bites of the simple break
fast he had ordered the young clerk
ga1ed nervously at the restaurant
clock. 1t was plain he had oversight
himself and was paving the way to flu
ture indigestion by boiling his food
The coffee was the stumbling block. 1t
was hot-very ot-but the clerk need
ed it badly, and he slipped it carefully,
having due regard for his mouth and
tongue.
But time pressed and, with parting
glance at the clock, he reached for his
glass of ice water and prepared to pour
Some of the frigid fluid into his cup.
Don't spoil your coffee, young man, ;"
said an elderly gentleman who was
eating his breakfast on the other side

sent the Interference. but the patri-
archal appearance Of the other man
tempered his resentment.

late for the office, and l want this cof-

LET me show you little scheme"
said the elderly man. Taking the cylin-
drical saltcellar from the table, he
wiped it carefully with a napkin, then,
reaching over, deposited the glass YES
sci in the cup of coffee.
Salt. you know, has peculiar cooling
properties" he said, meanwhile hold
ing the receptacle firmly in position.
''They put it with ice to intensity the
cold when making ice cream. 1t is used
extensively in cold storage warehouses
for cooling purposes, and being incased
in glass does not affect it's power to
any great extent"
AS he spoke he withdrew the saltcel-
lar from the coffee and motioned to the
younger man to drink. He raised the
cup to his lips and. to his surprise,
found the liquid cooled to such an ex-
tent that he could drink it without in
convenience.

the elderly man, with the air of one be-
ginning lecture. Il remember once

A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY.

every time l tell this story"
bright society matron remarked,
somebody accuses me of making it
up, but it is true story nevertheless.
Up in the Virginia mountains David
and I took a long walk to explore the
wild country road near our hotel.
Away up on the rough mountain side
was q little cabin. and as l have a
most fervent human interest in the
home life Of all peoples remote from
cities l proposed that we visit the cab
in, with the wayfarers' usual preteXt,
to ask for d drink Of water. In the
one room Of the small house We're the
usual furnishings, few chairs, many
dogs lying about, guns on the wall,
high bed in each corner and homely
table spread with homely crockery in
the center of the household picture. A
plain little woman. worn and aged,
but very neat il calico frock and ging-
ham apron, met us at the door and
asked us in, while one of the rough
boys lounging on the porch was dis
patched to the spring for fresh water.
instead of the usual mountaineer's
open fireplace, with iron crane and
kettles, was Il surprising arrangement
of d cooking stove mounted on a kitch-
en- table. My glance reverted to this
curious sight SO often that our noun
tain hostess seemed constrained to eX-
plain.
You uns amt used to seein' cook
stoves fixed up that way. l reckon
she said ALPHABETICALLY. Pap he got
the cook stove down in town way las
May. and he didn' think bout the
stovepipe, and he didn git huff to
reach up to that there hole in the
chimbly, so we uns jes' histed the
cook stove up on that there table till
he gifts time to go to town and git
some more stovepipe. 'Tain't handy to
climb up on cheer to cook, and
wish TO the land pap'd hurry hisself
and git to town arter that there stove
pipe. It'd be heap handler to hev
that there cook stove down on the
groun'.'
'Of course we uns' agreed with the
good woman that her complaint was
well based. but we praised her clever
ness and originality in utilizing the
kitchen table. Probably not one wo-
man in 100000 would have ever sug-
gested that way out of the domestic
hculty."-Detroit Free Press.

Honor Of Governor.
Manila, Jan. 12.-The general regret
OF the Filipino people at the possible
departure of Governor Taft resulted
yesterday in q popular demonstration
to influence the governor to remain in
the islands. The streets have been
placarded, saying. I'VE want Governor
Taft, in English, Tagalo and Spanish.
A crowd of 5000 men marched TO
Malacanan palace, the governors resi-
dence, yesterday. Upon reaching the
palace speeches were made by repre-
sentatives OF the federal, liberal and
nationalist parties, in which the gov
ernor was urged to remain. The
speakers said Mr.. Taft's presence was
necessary to preserve order. for the
prevention of political disruption and
to insure the maintenance or3he pres
ent policy. The speakers paid per-
sonal tributes to the governor, the
crowd cheering its approVSl.
In reply to the addresses Governor
Taft said it would not be decided at
present whether he leave the islands
or remain until next August. He as
sured the people that if he did leave
the present policy of the American
government would not be changed,
it being not a question of Individual
policy.
