Capt. Sewall Patterson died at the
Soldiers Home in Chelsea, Mass, Oct. 10th,
of which place he had been an inmate since
July last. He was born in Belfast JAM 19,
1922, son of George and Hannah Patterson.
He began following the sea in boyhOod, and
continued until late in life. He was captain
of fishing vessels from Belfast and other
Maine ports, and for several years had COM
mand of a British schooner plying between
st. John, N. B., and Boston. He was in
the navy during the Civil War, serving in
the ships Sabine and North Carolina. The
only break in his sea faring career was
seven years spent in the mines in Colorado.
He was remarkably strong and robust, and
was typical New England sailor and fish
erman. AS advancing age prevented him
from following the more arduOus duties of
the sea, he bought small vessel and went
fishing in the calmer waters of Penobscot
Bay, and followed it until about two years
ago when he went to Fitchburg, Mass, to
live with his daughter. He married R0xe-
lany Hayc0ck Of Isle au Haut, who died
seven years ago. He leaves two daughters,

Cured Without the Boar.

Old Henry was a stickler for anti
quated customs and luck-lore. He was
Mrs. Newrich's gardener, and she bade
him transplant some parsley. 1t was
not parsley planting season, however,
so there was war between her will
and his superstition. His superstition
prevailed and with a little careless
laugh, lifting her pretty silk skirts
high, she trIpped back to the cottage.
Later in the afternoon she explained
TO some callers old Henry's e~ccentrici-
ties. "And just think" she continued,
che said to me once, with a note of
interrogation in his voice, thai he
had heard say the whooping cough

"Of course" she added, "Mr. New

to get the bear, but l wouldn't hear to
1t, and baby got well of the whooping
cough without it."

Colonel Hepburn,s View.


IN n recent review Hon. William
T. Hepburn. member Of Congress from
Iowa. expressed himself as follows:
MY idea Of q comprehensive scheme
for the permanent betterment of the
roads In the United States involves
an equallzing Of the expense. I would
be in favor Of appropriatlng one-third
Of the cost Of any particular stretch
Of highway out Of the treasury, the
State to pay an equal proportion. and
the township the remaining one-third.
In this way the weight of expense
would be so distributed as not to be
oppressive to any Of the contributors,
and in the course Of ten years the
mud hole aud the bottomless pit of
the spring season, when the frost
energies from the ground. will have
disappeared. and a macadamlzed road
will pass every farmers home.
at has taken the farmers a long
time to come to a realization of the
value and Importance to themselves OF
good roads. They are now thoroughly
awake to the fact, however, and are
ready to press their sturdy shoulders
against The wheel of progress which
leads to the elimination of the bottom
less road. The movement has already
begun in Iowa, and many towns are
reached by farmers travelling over
macadamized roads. These farmers
have discovered that the hard, dry.
always passable road pays big diyi-
dends in more ways than one. They
have found that 1t has put from So to
$40 per acre upon the valuation of their
land. Incidentally these facts are be-
coming generally known, and Iowa
farmers are ready to grasp any COM
prehensive scheme that will give them
permanent highways, and they are
willing to pay for them.
Il find many representatives in Con-
gress who are deeply interested in the
good roads proposition, and they have
Indicated a willingness to take the mt
ter up from the viewpoint of national
cooperation under proper conditions.
I believe the subject will receive at
tention at the hands of the ifty-eighth
Congress and that some practical re.
suits will very soon follow"

The Money Value of Good Roads.

There are at least five ways in
which good roads will put money in
ths farmers pocket or prevent its be-
Ing spent wastefully; for a good road
will
i. Economize time and force In
transportation between farm and
market.
2. Enable farmers to take advantage
Of market fluctuations in buying ard

8. Permit transportation Of farm
products and purchased commodities
during times of comparative leisure.
4. Reduce wear and tear OH horses,

8. Enhance the market value of real
