OF the name of a horse as a hold,
And let his desire to be gone be afre.
And let him be snorting and bold!
And then with swing. on his back let
me fling
My leg that is naked as steel,
And let us away, to the end of the day,
To quiet the tempest feel!
And keen as the wind, with the cities be-
hind
And prairie before like sea.
With billows of grass that lash as we
Make way fer my stallion and me!
And up with his nose, till his nostril
aglows.
And out with his tail and his name,
And up with my breast till the breath of
the West
Is shifting mcknight of the plain!
All. give me gleam of your eyes. love. a

With the kiss of the sun and the dew,
And mountain Hor swale, nor scorch nor

Shall halt me from squirting to you!

My heart at your feet--and my soul!

by the Apaches.
Col. Edward Hunter, u. s. A., re-
tired, says that when he was a young
captain in the army, fighting Indians
In Arizona, the major of the regiment
was an enthusiastic trout fisherman.
On one occasion when the regiment
encamped near a trout stream the
major, as soon as his duties would
permit, took his rod and began to fish,
Presently an arrow whizzed by his
head and then rifle bullet sung
close to his ear. The Apaches were
lowering near, and, seeing the major
alone and unarmed, were trying to
pick him off. Some men, under the
circumstances, would have quit fish
ing. Not so the major. He called out
detail of armed men and had them
stationed along either bank of the
stream, the men moving down stream
as the major fished along, the soldiers
keeping pace with the major and
beating back the redskins every time
they advanced to the attack. Thus
protected, the major fished peaceful
ly and comfortably and succeeded in
securing fine string of rainbow
trout.

A Japanese officer serving on a
torpedo boat has been telling his ex-

spite the bitter weather. The off,
Ger attributes this to the fact that
they did not expose themselves to
variations of temperature, as is the
case with men in big ship where
cabins can be warmed and heat-gener-

stroyer or a torpedo boat the only
source of artificial heat is a brazier.
and braziers have two serious draw
backs; one that in little craft pitch

a dangerous companion; the other

YVES nothing for it, consequently, but

ances, and the men, living in a uni

generating artificial heat been acces-
sible.

MAKING GOOD ROADS
GREAT PROGRESS UNDER THE
sTATE-AiD PLAN.
Thousands Of Miles Of Fine Thorough
fares In Existence In the Northeast.
New York Proposes to Spend s5o,-
1000.


In the Northeastern states from
Maine to Pennsylvania more progress
has recently been made In building
good roads than in any other section
of the United States. This is mainly
due to the adoption of the state-aid
plan.
New Jersey was the first state to
adopt this plan. The law enacted
there in 1891 provided that the state
pay one-third of the cost OF improv-
ing the roads, and the counties two
thirds, part of which may be charged
up to the towns in which the roads
are built. The farmers were at first
opposed to this law. but now they
are enthusiastic in its support More
than a million and a half dollars have
been appropriated by the state under
this law. Nearly 1000 miles of road
have been macadamized. The state
aided roads must conform to the plans
laid down by the state commissioner
of highways.
In Massachusetts the state pays the
entire cost of building the roads, but
requires the counties to pay back one
fourth of the cost Nearly half mil
lion is appropriated annually for this
purpose. Nearly five million dollars
have already been invested in roads
by the state. AS a result Massachu-
sets has hundreds of miles of as fine
roads as any in the world.
Connecticut has also operated under
this plan since 1895. The state puts
up two-thirds of the money for road
building. The plan is considered a
great success. More than a million
and half has been appropriated and
spent, and about 500 miles of fine
roads have been built.
In New York State the state pays
one-half the cost of building the
roads, the counties 35 per cent, and
the township Is per cent, and the
plan is working admirably. Last year
100000 was appropriated by the leg
islature, and over two millions have
been voted since the law was enacted.
1t is now proposed to raise by an is
sue of bonds fifty millions to be spent
Turing the next ten years.
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island and Delaware all have
state aid laws which are working sat
isfactorily, though expenditures and
operations are on a smaller scale than
in the other states named.
The fundamental principal on
which the state aid plan rests is that
the public highways are for the use
and benefit of the whole people, and
that all should, therefore, share in the
cost of their improvement.
From state aid to national aid is
but a single step. Both embody the
same principle. 1t is an interesting
fact that the people of these states
are enthusiastically in favor of taking
Uncle Sam" into the general scheme
of cooperation. The state highway
commissioners of New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts. Rhode Island
and Vermont are outspoken advocates
of national aid; and the New York
Legislature has memorialized Con-
gress to enact the Brownlow bill.
II national aid would accomplish
for the whole country what state aid
is doing where adopted. it certainly
deserves serious consideration.
