The Farmer and State and Nation
al Aid for Building Wagon Roads

Four states. New York, Massachu-
sets, Now Jersey and Connecticut,
have in the past ten years spent
about SO, 100000 as state aid for wag-
on roads. About 81, 000. 900 has been
added to this sum by the counties and
towns where the state roads were
built, and about $500 miles CT state
roads have been completed in these
four states. Pennsylvania last year
Appropriated s6,5OOOOO for the build
ing Of state roads. Wherever state
roads have been built the selling
price of farm lands has been increased
from 20 per cent to 30 per cent, and
even more in some cases. The geo
miles Of state road already built have
been of such benefit to the farmer
that they have caused great demand
for more good road. Five states
found it good to aid in the building OF
wagon roads by state appropriations.
Why should not the National govern
ment aid i'm building roads in every
state in the Union7 Congressman
Brownlow of Tennessee has answered
this question by introducing in Con
gress bill appropriating s2i, 100000
a. national aid for building wagon
roads This sum is available at the
rate of SS,OOO,0O a year for three
wears, and is distributed to each state
according to its population, except
that no state shall receive less than
$3.50 goo The state or counties re-
ceiving this money must add like
amount. This SPLENDID appropriation
will brld between 5000 and 1000
miles of SPLENDID national road and
will build from 100 to 500 miles of
hard road in each state of the Union,
1t seems to many farmers that it is
time tor the national government TO
aid them. and they hope the bill Will
become law.

sSlR JOHN SOANE'S WtIIM.
The Practio al Joke Celebrated Man
Played on Posterfty.

One of the most famous of postmor
TEN jokes was that perpetrated by the
donor of the celebrated Soane museum
Of pictures and other valuable objects
dart to England, the late Sir John
Soane, who died in 1887. In his viii
Sir John made provision for the open
ing of three sealed cupboards on Ger
tain specified dates in the presence OF
the trustees In 1866 that Is TO say
almost thirty years after the death OF
the testator, the first OF the mysterious
receptacles was with much ceremony
and breaking Of seals opened in the
presence OF a committee of men, WITH
the then president OF the Royal acad-
envy. Sir +. Grant, at their head. In
stead Of priceless treasure or some
evidence that would throw an entirely
new light upon some doubtful incident
in political history the contents of the
cupboard proved to be worthless ac.
counts, letters and stationery.
Twenty years passed by, and the in.
terest that had smoldered after the
disappointment OF 1866 was again
famed into flame at the prospect OF
breaking the seals of the second cup
board at which rite there We're pres
ent among others DR. Alfred Water
house, X. A., and Sir then DrJ Il. w,
Richardson. Like the cupboard mention
ed in the we'll known nursery rhyme, Sill
Johns second cabinet proved bare
of any sensation, the contents being
chiefly composed OF letters relating to
certain long forgotten family quarrels
that had not even the merit of being
interesting If some of those author

fall upon the contents thereof after
sixty years darkness one at least, Sill
y. W Richardson, looked forward
with uuabated interest to that day II
1896 when the last seal would b.
broken and the mystery solved, but he
alas. died just two days before the
ceremony was performed and the fact
that Sir JOHN had played practical
joke upon pOsterity was duly confirm

perfectly worthless letters and papers

HOW TO WIN A HUSBAND.

Woman's sphere in this 2oth century Is
no limited any more than is mans. She
can occupy almost any business position
or profession, and yet the popular view of
womanhood is that she best Ats the posi-
ton of wife and mother and head of the
household. Every girl should know her
heart and also know that her womanly
system is equal to the strain of marriage.
If a girl is nervous and irritable ten chances
to one 1t is due to some trouble peculiar to
womanhood.
Cupid has no place in a girls heart il
she Is nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down, worn out for no reason that she can
think OF. The weak back, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only symp-
toms. Go to the source of the trouble and
correct the irregularity. Stop the drains
on the womanly system and the other
symptoms will disappear, This can be
done easily and i~ntelligently. So sure Of
it is the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, the proprietors of Dr.. Pierce's Fs
yofite Prescription, that they offer $500
reward for women who cannot be cured of
leucorrhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or
falling of the womb. All they ask Is a fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.

Last week Yankton college ex-
perienced a college fight. The
Freshmen and Sophomore went out
onto the campas and as a challenge
to the Juniors and Seniors erected a
large telephone pole and attached
the fusion colors. Then the other
alliance took a hand 10 the game.
The fight was bitter and the last
named outfit found it impossible to
dislodge the fusionists by brute
strength so they started a little
prairie fire. The fire spread and
both factions abandoned the fight
long enough to save Ward Hall.
Meantime the faculty got busy with
a Ratchet and cut the pole down.
All efforts on the part of the faculty
to stop the fight by influence or
threats were futile.
Why would it not be a good
plan for the merchants of De Smet to
follow the plan here outlined. An
exchange in referring to the plan
says: The business men Of a certain
town get together every Saturday
and offer SIS TO the farmer who drives
the greatest distance to the town on
business. He must be a farmer and
must come on business. He must
market some produce Of the farm or
he must come and do some trading
either buy some hardware or gen
eral merchandise, get a shave or
patronize the newspaper. He must
prove c~onclusively the distance he
came and the farmer making the
longest trip gets the parsc. IL has
proven a great drawing card for the
town and men come with their
families As miles.
