now satisfied that all those holding

Lost Ills Shoes.

Tough, sticky, ruination, yes.
that is the condition Of a piece
OF clay road down by Hassard.
The 'clay is so tenacious and
deep-knee deep-that it actu
ally pulled the shoessoff of John
Boarman's saddle horse.
Now how many farmers are
there who travel that road who
are willing to first throw up a
road bed and then put in one
week with team to give it a
good deep gravel dressing:
There is the only solution OF
that bad road. 1t will save

SENATOR HEATHER
Scores University Professors, TheiI
Methods and BugOlOgy.

Senator Heather offered an
amendment to cut down The
university appropriation from
Sl5O,OOO to SI32,OO0. The item
he wanted reduced was for the
departments at Columbia.
In the House bill, this is
S148, 700 and Senator Heathers'
amendment was to reduce this
to 500, In urging the
reduction Senator Heather had
the clerk read a list Of the sal,
aries received by each officer
professor of the university. He
said he wanted the senate to
know just where the money was
going.
When the clerk had finished,
Heather declared that represen-
tatives of the university did
more lobbying than Col. "BilP'
Phelps and his assistants.
They come down here, wine
and dine us and take us carriage
riding. 1t some one goes home
on a pass, they hold up their
hands in holy horror and talk
about lobby.
ooh, it makes a difference
who does these things.
Il am in favor of higher edu
cation, but the houses that
shelter the insane should come
first"
Heather tod the Senate
about the buildings for hatch
ing and propagating bugs.
"Our farmers boys go dowr
there and are taught bugology,
he said They breed bugs
there. In winter they are fed
and warmed and cared for. Ii
summer they are cooled by
electric fans. Then they art
scientifically xii ed and mounted
on cards. That's what we ar,
appropriating money for" =
Being a Varsity man, Heathe
ought to know.

Gibson, who has lived with him

In speaking OF this man the

Il DO not know whether I be

gether for thirty years. and we

TEMPERANCE UNIOl
Jersey City Men Are Out to Reform
Their Brethren.

Jersey City.-The bartenders
of this city are discussing a
proposition to form a temper
ance society. There will be a
meeting tonight, when it is un-
derstood the subject will re
ceive consideration. One of tn e
leaders in the movement is
quoted as saying:
Il think the idea good one.
Why should not bartenders be
total abstalners? The interests
Of their employers demand that
they shall at all times be
steady, sober and Industrious.
Why should Il bartender be
obliged to drink every time he
is invited to do 50 by a custo-
mer? 1t is pernicious custom.
I believe two thirds of the
bartenders are ready to become
total abstainers."

What will the Queen of the

because the collector is short
on energy or to save money,
short on deputies, or will the
