When the Lightning Strikes

When the Lightning Strikes.
Here is suggestion from an ex-
change that may prove of some value:
The season of lightning losses is now
on. A large share of losses which
the farmers mutual insurance COM
panies are called upon to pay is caused
by loss Of stock by lightning. This
results from the almost universal use
Of wire fencing for the pastures and
the failure to properly ground the
wires, the wire on the fence being
able to carry a current heavy enough
to kill stock half a mile from the
point Of discharge. A crow bar, some
short pieces Of wire. and a man can
protect an ordinary pasture in half
. day. A piece Of wire attached, to
the fence wire and run in the ground
to a depth of three feet will do the
work II placed every 80 or 40 rods along
the fence.

with unsuccessful farmers was their
lack of ability to plan. He himself al

cited the instance of one farmer that
lacked this power. He would not try
to think what to do till the day came
when the work was to be done, and
then he never succeeded in arranging
his work SO as to save time. He would
say to one man: s'Well, you go over
and repair that fence" and he would go
perhaps a mile to make little repair

Russian Public Houses.

A remarkable scene was witnessed q
few years ago, when the car of Russia
ordered that the private manufacture
Of vodka (the national drink) should
cease, and that the business should be
taken over BY the state and conducted
on Temperance lines. The new state
monopoly was inaugurated in re.
markable way. Priests attended at all
the drinking shops by oncial COM
mand, and conducted special services.
The public houses were dedicated to
God. and prayers offered that under the
new regime drunkenness might be
abolished and the spiritual welfare OF
the people improved. S.

OLD FASHIONED
But Still in the Fashion.

1t is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.
For two years I was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
There was nothing I could eat but
20 or 30 minutes later would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until
would be very faint and weak. This
went on from day to day until I was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospects of being helped.
Zone day I was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream,
leaving of all fatty food. I had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me. as I had tried so
many things without any help. But
It was SO simple I thought would
give 1t trial, she insisted So
"Well, I ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me, and asked
Il had tried her advice.
Glad you did, child, do you feel
some better?'
:" No. said. 4 do not knew as

have no sour stomach, and come to
think Of it, I haven't spit up your four
Teaspoons Of Grape Nuts yeti !

Jefferson's first title to fame remains
preeminent. Few documents were ever
penned which had SO great an effect on
history The principles of freedom
which 1t contains have not faded from
the minds Of men, even though the ink
Jefferson used has begun to lose its
brililance. He lived long enough to
know that the world agreed with his
estimate of the immortal declaration,
for he did not die till July 4, 1926, the
fiftieth anniversary Of its adoption.

An ENEMY OF GOOD ROADS
Watsr Does More Harm Than Al ths
Other Dsstzuetivs Agencies x.svn
- 1ngtneers.

Among the elements and forces Of Ma
ture there are several enemies Of good
roads. but the greatest of them 10 water.
1t washes away the material of the road.
1t soaks into the road and softens it 20
that the wagon wheels cut into the sur
face making ruts and holes. It pene-
trates and softens the foundation SO that
the surface Of the road sinks or breaks
up. In the winter the water that is In the
road freezes, expands and loosens and
dtstntegrates the road material.
The most important thing in the build
Ing OF roads is to lesson or prevent the
ravages Of water; yet no feature of the
work is 30 neglected as this. Many local
road supervisors seem to give no con-
sideration to the question of drainage,
and the result is a regular mud blockage
during several weeks or months of the
year.
The following are q few simple rules
the observance Of which would 60 far
toward lettering the roads of this coun-
try:
First-The road should be so located
and constructed as to avoid steep grades
down which the water rushes during
heavy rains, tearing up and washing
away the road material.
Sccond-The foundation of the road
should be thoroughly drained by open
side bitches which will carry 1.-THE wa
ter, and where necessary tile drains
should be laid in the foundation itself
Third-The surface of the road should
be hard and smooth and have sufficient
slope toward the sides to shed the sur.
face water.
Eourth-Ruts and holes on the surface
of the finished road should be filled as
fast as made SO that water can lie or
the surface to be worked up into mud.
These rules are simple and easy to fol-
low. and anyone who gives any serious
thought to the matter can see the wisdom
OF following them. Still they are al
most universally ignored. as the con.
dition Of our roads abundantly proves.
What this country needs is a radical
change, new era in road building. The
people have been moving in ruts in more
senses than one, and II each local com.
munity is left to work out the road prob.
lem alone, they will continue to move in
the same ruts, and every year millions
Of dollars will be thrown into the mud
to say nothing of the losses resulting
from the use Of bad roads. Lectures on
raad improvement seem to do very little
good. Books and bulletins on road build.
ing appear to have very little effect.
What the local committees need 4.
practical object lessons, and actual as,
sistance, and these can come only from
the state governments and the fedora
government. 1t is for this reason tina,
road reformers everywhere are turning
toward state and national aid as the only
solution of the road problem.

OLD COLLEGE CLASSES.
Plans Formed in the Fullness Of
Youthful Ambition Have Not
All Been Worked Out.

It was graduated half century ago
in prehistoric time, so it seems to the
class of the current year. But in 1854
Q group of young men stood on the
threshold, looking out into the un-
known. This month they are old men
those who have survived-and instead
of looking forward their eyes are on
the past. wistfully, maybe. and now and
then dimmed with tears. says Youths
Companion.
The dreams of their youth, where
are they now? The young lawyer was
going to end his days on the supreme
court bench, but somehow things we're
ordered differently. The young preach
er hoped by his eloquence to sway
multitudes in the city. but he has kept
only a handful in the country true to
their heavenly vision. The physician
planned to manage hospital. but it
has turned out that its wards have been
q countryside.
On the other hand, the youth who
was going back to the farm, who was
regarded by his classmates as hum
drum fellow destined to live and die
obscure, is now q conspicuous leader in
congress-.
There is probably not one in all that
class whose life has been ordered even
approximately as he had dreamed. This
does not mean that the men have not
succeeded. Some of them have sue
ceeded far. more abundantly than they
expected, but in q different way What
a man Of "a, regards as success is usual
ly a more gentle and human and kind
ly thing than that which youth calls
by that name.
The class of 1904 will doubtless have
. history similar to that Of its half
century-old predecessor. 1t may not be
Improbable for its members to think,
q moment or two at least, of the old
men holding reunions this month. and
strive to get some of the tolerance and
charity that characterize those who

leads from the college door.

DECLARATION IS vNFAoEo.
0ri9inal Draft Of Je6erson's 1Ani.
lssto Of Indepsndsace Yet
Perfectly Legible.

Although the onicial copy Of the Dec
laration of Independence was recently
deposited in q steel safe. to prevent il
fading away completely. Jefferson's
original draft of that great manifesto
may still be seen in the library of the
state department in Washington. The
ink on this paper seems peculiarly
strong, states Youths Companion.
The erasures and interlineations tes-
tify to the care with which Jefferson
worked out the eloquent sentences.
Wherever . change was made by either
of his principal collaborators-Benja-
min Franklin and John Adams-he took
pains to note it by inserting in the mar
gin: "Dr. Franklin's handwriting" or
'.Mr. Adams handwriting" in order that
the exact limits of his own authorship
might never be disputed.
This is one of the papers Of the old
congress of the confederation. 1t was
put into the custody of the state depart
ment when that executive branch was
organized. Some visitors doubted that
this famous paper was really in Jeffer-
sons handwriting. To satisfy them the
department officers had framed by its
side, from their Jefferson papers. the
slip on which he wrote out directions for
his burial.
Aside from furnishing evidence of the
genuineness of the handwriting, these
directions are appropriate there, because
they give Jefferson's own estimate Of
the Importance of the Declaration. He
described the simple monument which
was to stand over his remains. and then
wrote for 1t this inscription. specifying
that it should contain mot word
