Harrington was obliged to leave
home to notify her husband who
was at work seven miles away, OF
some mishap to the stock. She left
the three children, the oldest boy
of n early five, a babe and Ethel at
home. The door is closed with a
latch, and some time after the
| mother had gone Ethel expressed a
desire to 90 and meet her papa, and
the boy opened the door and the lit
tie one passed out. The parents
reached home at 5 o'clock and imme
diately began searching the nearby
places, and finally sent to nearest
neighbors for assistance. Provided
with lanterns the search was kept
up all night by nearly a dozen, and
on Tuesdar and in fact during the
baeance Of the week, a company OF
eighty horsemen made a systematic
search OF every foot AT d wide area
of country. Every nook was scru-
tented, and every pond and water
hole hand-raked. The efforts, long
continued and persistent, developed
not even the falntest clue as to
where and by what agency the little
one had been spirited away.
The great mystery, and one that
is torturing the hearts of the par
ents, is to account for the where
abouts of the little. innocent Ethel.
| Left to her own exertions she could
not have gone far in the two hours.
Some there are who entertain a
belief that the child was carried
away by a wolf to it's den, while
others are of the opinion that she
was kidnapped by Indians or by
someone passing through that sec,
ton. 1t is said that Mr.. Harring.
ton believes that the child was
stolen, and he is now conducting the
search to verify the belief.
VIM. Manse, the well-known wolfel
of this city, who knows the nature
of wolves thoroughly, SCOTS at the
thought of a wolf carrying away the
little one, The wolf, he says, has ;
mortal fear Of humankind. He Says

GOOD ROAD SCHEME
How they Build Good Roads in
Iowa

A typical Good road should have
track twenty five feet wide in thu
center that is hard and solid at all
seasons of the year. On each side
of this there should be soil track
on which to travel when it is dry
and good, which would De perhaps
four tifths of the year. Outside of
this there should be ample passage
for the water to run off, and if need
be q sidewalk on the margin.
The hard track il constantly used
will make the horses feet sore, will
wear out their shoes fast; it is noisy
for vehicles and wears out the tires
to the wheels rapidly. A horse soon
learns to seek the soil track when it
is dry if left to choose his own way.
Gravel, if run through machine
that brushes the round stones would
be better, as they are apt to work
up and roll around on the surface Of
the road. And a heavy roller to
pack the gravel and soil down solid
and hard would be good thing.
A road is better not to be too
high in the center, as it throws too
much weight on the lower wheels
when you drive on the sides of the
road. Gravel when worked down
and mixed with and packed hard in
the soil is an estructible thing.
COST OF GRAVEL ROAD.
The cost of graveling a road
depends on the distance it has to be
hauled; IN Milton it has cost from "a
to 30 cents per cubic yard to haul it
a mile or less, and nowhere more
than double that sum.
All our roads from the villages to
the town live are graveled, and il
helps materially in drawing business
to them. Our villages are not incor
porated yet: although they may bt
soon. Our farmers in drawing milk
to the factories would not know how
to get along without our grave
roads.
A team will haul twenty five can!
Ut milk on a good graveled roat
with more ease than it can haul the
empty wagon in the mud in thu
spring of the year.
Our rural mail carriers can make
their routes in one-half of the time
and with one-tenth of the hard wor
for the horses that they could with
out our graveled roads when IT,
frost first comes out in the spring
One man has bought an automobil
to run his route with this year,
HOW TAX is VOTED.
Our custom in carrying a grave
tax has been to vote by ballot
designating how much money was
be expended on each respectiy
road. The work was done unde
the supervision OF the supervisors
and the jobs let to the lowest bic
der.
One dollar thus expended in gray
cling the roads has been of MOI
lasting benefit than $40 under patti
masters. worked out in the old way
The road in this place that we FIR;
started is in fine condition. Vcl
little has been expended on it sine
it was made thirty years ago. HUI
dreds of teams pass over 1T ever
day in the week. 1t costs $40O pr
mile to gravel it. -Four thousar
dollars per mile will not make
good a road if built by state or 60
eminent aid
We never have known of a roo
being built buy state or governme
laid at less than $1,000 per mil
(which, for common practical use
,our rural district would be a pr
lhibitive price.

Is hung so that it runs through the

The crates are nailed together in the

what Men Have Not Fought
BY r. j. BURDETTE

My dear boy, men have fought, bled,
and died. but not for beer. Arnold
Winkelried did not throw himself upon
the Austrian spears because he was or
dered to close his saloon at nine o clock.
William Tell did not hide his arrow
under his vest to kill the tyrant because
the edict had gone forth that the free
born Swiss should not drink keg of beer
every Sunday. Ere edom did not Shrek
as Kosciusko fell over whisky barrel
Warren did not die that beer might
week. Even the battle of Brandy
wine was not fought that whiskey might
be free. No clause in the Declaration
of Independence declares that Sunday
concert garden, with five brass horns
and one hundred kegs of beer is the in
alienable right of "a free people and the
corner stone of good government.
Tea,-mild, harmless, innocent tea;
the much-sneered-at temperance bever-
age, the feeble drink of effeminate men
and good old women,-tea holds a
igher place, it fills u brighter. more
glorious page, and is Il grander figure
in the history Of this United States.
than beer. Men liked tea, my boy. but
the hurled it into the sea in the name
of liberty, and they died rather than
drink it until they made it free. 1t
seems to be worth fighting for, and the
best men in the world fought for it,.
The history of the United States is in
complete with tea left out. AS well
might the historian omit Faneuil Hall
and Bunker Hill as tea. But there is
no story of herosm or patriotism with
rum for its hero.
The battles of this world, my son,
have been fought for grander things
than free whisky. The heroes who fail
in the struggles for rum, fall shot in
the neck, and their martyrdom is
clouded by the haunting phanloms Of
the jim-jams. Whiskey makes men
fight, it is true, but they usually fight
other drunken men. The champion Of
Deer does not stand in the temple of
fame; he stands in the police court
