FOR GOOD ROADS
PLEA OF DOCTOR o. n. ooueAn

After Tour Of Europe the Doctor De.
eIares That Good Roads In the
Mountains Would b Of Immense
Benefit to Colorado.
Dr.. D. H. Dougan. president Of the
National Bank OF Commerce, at Den.
yer. who has returned from his sum-
mer trip abroad. travelled In England,
France. Ireland and Switzerland and
declares that II Colorado had the splen.
did roads of these countries 1t would
mean millions of dollars annually spent
in the state by tourists.
''The roads are simply perfect, and |
had an opportunity Of observing them,
for I covered France and Switzerland
thoroughly with an automobile and did
considerable automobiling over Eng.
land and Ireland" said Mr.. Dougan. "I
am speaking particularly Of France
and Switzerland when l say that the
roads are perfect and an automobile
runs rs smoothly along these roads as
1t would along a floor. have attained
on the French roads a speed Of sixty
miles an hour. while from forty to Fifty
miles an hour Is common.
THE French roads are macadam-
lied. Crushed stone is put down to a
great depth and thoroughly packed and
then sand Is placed upon 1t and it Is
rolled by . heavy steam roller. There
is . gradual but slight curvature to
the road and about every dozen feet
there is q drain. while every twenty
feet 10 . pile of stone .or repairs. The
repairs are made promptly and with as
much care as q dentist would use in
filling a cavity in tooth.
I'm Switzerland these roads traverse
the Alps and they are perfect roads.
Ns had no difficulty whatever In going
everywhere in an automobile
"As a result OF these roads there are
thous ands and thousands of tourists in
through the country and they are there
to spend money-and do. II we had
such a system OF roads In Colorado it
would mean millions Of dollars spent
in this state every year. believe that
these roads should be built by the
state and by the prisoners In the state
penitent' 1ry. l don't believe that
there would be any complaint from the
labor unions, as such work would not
compete with free labor. l would sug.
gest road from Denver to Grand
Junction, from Denver to Middle park
and TO North Park and to other sec
tions with connecting roads. 1t would
require years, of course. for tle con.
struction Of these roads, but we should
be at 1t. Such roads would enable au.
tomobilists to traverse Colorado as
they do Switzerland
I'm the matter OF scenery the Alps
aren't in 1t with the Rockies. Switzer.
land hasn't anything to compare with
our mountains. I'll venture the asser-
tion that we have 200 mountains
grander and greater than anything
they have in Switzerland. Mt. Blanc
doesn't compare in beauty and majesty
with Mt. Sopris. crossed the Alps In
two different places and I didn't see
anything that comes anywhere near
what We have in Colorado"

COULD NOT WORRY DisRAELi.
Public Posting Of His Debts In No
Way Affected COMING Premier.

Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Beacons-
field. premier of England. was noted
for his nonchalance and what would
be called in American slang nerve"
One time when he was still young
man he was driving with Sir Philip
Rose to Shrewsbury, where. at the
general election, he had been nomi-
mated as the conservative candidate
for parliament. AS they neared the
borough Sir Philip noticed large
poster. stopped the carriage and. call
ing his friends attention to it. re-
marked: 1T is something about you"
Disraeli read the words printed In
large letters: Judgment debts of
Benjamin DisrGeli. tory candidate for
Shrewsbury" Underneath was \ INST
c, debts upon which judgment had
been signed. This he perused care
fully. Then he turned to Sir Philip
and said placidly: How accurate 1t
is! Now let us go on or we shall be
late" He won the election.

Little Things Of Life.

DR.. johnson wisely said: He who
waits to do great deal OF good at
once will never do anything" Life Is
made up of little things. 1t is but
once in an age that occasion is Of
fered for great deed. True great.
ness exists in being great in little
things. We should be willing to do a
little good at time and never wait
to do a great deal of good at once.
If we would do much good in the
world we must be willing to do good
in little things. little acts one after
another. speaking word here. CIV
ing help there. and setting good ex.
ample at all times: we must do the
first good thing we can. and then the
next. and so keep on doing.

The Story Of Ianan.

The late Lafcadio Hearn passed by
cable the final proof of the last chap
ter OF his new book the day before his
death. 1t was singularly dramatic
ending Of a life unusually full OF dra-
matte incidents, that he should have
finished his most ambitious analysis
OF the Japanese the very day before he
died. His new book, Japan: An At
tempt at Interpretation" will be pub
lished at once by The Macmillan Com
pany. This Interpretation OF the jap
anese. their history. and their place IN
The modern world, has peculiar timeli-
ness.

Celestial Refreshments.

Places of rest and refreshment are
commonly to be found at the hating
stations on the highways in the in
terrier. or at the villages on the banks
OF the great rivers of China. They
frequently take the form of small
mud hut, having dark interior filed
with smoke. tea tables. forms. ami an
oven. where cook is kept busy oak.
ing tea bread and frying puddings for
the entertainment of the customers,
whose favorite beverage is tea, a..
though when times are good and the
weather cold they indulge in some.
thing stronger, which often inebriates,
and that at avery cheap rate.

Qualities for FRIENDSHIP,

Give me for my friend one who will
will throw himself into my cause and
interest, who will take Fart when
am attacked. who will be sure before
hand that am in the right. and if he
is critical, as he may have cause to
be, towards being of sin and imper
fection, will be so from very love and
loyalty. and wish that others should
love me as heartily as he.-Cardinal
Newman.

The Camera fiend,

He took the house. he took the barn.

hasn't got temper. But when temper

Gold VS.. Grain,

All the gold In America-the great
est hoard Of the yellow metal ever
gathered in any country-could not
buy one years harvest of our corn and
wheat. To buy one seasons wheat
crop would take all the gold mined in
this country In six years. In the past
seven years all the gold mines have
only produced enough to buy one
years yield of our six leading cereals.

OLD TIME STICK PLAY.
Pat with His Shillalah and john
hull With His Cudgel.

The shillalah is the most essential
oart Of the equipment of an Irishman
as seen on the stage or In the comic
papers. Pat, to be recognized as
genuine Uibernian, must wear knee
breeches. have his pipe thrust through
the band of his 'caubeen'' and must
flourish a stout stick, while it Is al
ways understood that he is forever
spoilng for a fight and so his constant
invitation is. who'll tread on the tall
of my coat :" The picture is of course
grossly overcolored. One might trave!
many miles and many days in Ireland
without meeting an lriShman with hls
pipe in the band of his hat; but, on tue
other hand, if the shllalah Is not tor
ever in his hand he is certainly IL

made baseball the national outdoor

a long time in the United States. Fen

football cycling and other sports have
been tried to some extent. When a
