to be shut down was the means of keep
ing a number of people from attending,
but the lights will be on as usual to-
night.

assistant accountant in the office of
Fisher Bros, has resigned and will go
into business on his own account. He
will engage in the brokerage, insur-
ance and general commission business,

a success of the venture. Mr.. Lackey
is thoroughly conversant with the de-

THE moan pRoRLEaI.

A good roads convention was recently
held in one of the western states. 1t
was well attended, and a good many
theories We're advanced, but beyond
commencing thorough drainage of
the roadbed nothing practical was
brought out. The plain truth is that
nothing short of brick paving, mac
adam or foot of gravel will ever make
q black dirt passable during the spring
season in the north and the winter in
the south, and this method of treat
ment will cost from 5000 to $500 per
mile, according to the treatment given.
Such heavy expenditure the people
are not yet ready to authorize, and so
the whole problem may be said to have
settled down to this get rid of the wa
ter, grade up, gravel where possible,
and do the hauling when the roads are
good, letting the good Lord look after
the rural mail carriers and the milk
haulers when the roads are bad.

In the fixing up of the home place 1t
u a good deal us it is with woman
and her dress. Some women, by the
exercise of taste and having proper re-
gard for the fitness of things. can on
very moderate outlay FOR attire car
ry lots of style and be altogether
charmingly dressed, and so one may
take modest home place and by the
use of cultured taste so adorn it with
vine, tree, shrub and flower. with a bit
of lawn for Il foreground, and never
overlooking the paint pot, that it viii

passerby and ever be u saving, refin-
ing influence for all who call it home
1t fortunately does not require very
much money TO secure the incest things
for they are very apt to be the common
things Of life nicely placed and proper
ly cared for. There are greater charm
and satisfaction in having n bed of
violets costing 10 or 10 cents than in
owning a costly orchid and the most
labored effort of the costly dollhouse
has never yet produced anything finer
than the roses you may grow in your
garden at Il triHing cost. We think
that there are at least two things in
the adornment of the home place which
must have preeedence-a bit of we'll
kept lawn and here and there vine of
some sort, at the corner of the house,
over the porch or on latticework on
the walk. then not too many shade
trees. and such as there are to be of
different varieties; if any evergreens,
these always to be in the background
\ circular bed of cannas bordered
with coleuS, with a good border of
lawn around it, is always a very at
tractive feature as sort of central
flower piece. Then do not forget that
the back yard needs looking after as
well as the front. for our well dressed
lady is always scrupulously neat and
tasty all round. This simple beautify
ing of our home is in Il SAnse a re-
ligious work. for the influence of the
home upon the children is very far
reaching and indelible, and there are
but few of us SO thoroughly depraved
that we have not some latent sense of
appreciation and love for beautiful and
natural things. There can be no hard
and fast rules laid down for this work,
the style of home, size of lot and en-
vironment varying so much. but it is
hard proposition indeed where hc:ne
may not be much improved and beau
tiled along the lines we have indicated.
