The interest or towns and cities IN
good roads Is easily demonstrated, and
In many eases Is already well under.
stood by these communities. The
whole people have equal rights on the
country roads. and those living In the
cities and towns have often greater
need OF them than the farmer. who
at pinch could live upon what he
raises. while the elites raise nothing
ana could not live day without the
country roads.
The farms OF the United States com.
prise less than one.fourth OF the total
property OF the country. yet that small
fraction pays the whole cost OF build.
ing roads. The injustice OF this sys-
ten. which We have Inherited from
the old countries, but which was abol-
lshed there many years ago. is not yet
fully appreciated by the farmers Of
this country, and the greatest dif.
nculty now experienced in road i'm.
provcmcnt is In getting the farmers
consent 10 have this injustice wiped
out, ana in inducing them TO accept
the aid which the cities and towns are
willing and anxious 20 give 90 the
general Improvement OF the highways.

Lack OF work turns men into tramps
but It docs not keep them tramps. de.
clares the Chicago Inter.ocean. The
man and the Job cannot always keep
apart unless the man so wishes. The
proof is the fact that thousands OF men
have been tramps and are so no long
er. And these men did not owe their
escape from tramphood to anything
that anybody did for them. They owed
It entirely to themselves. Taking his
life through. the average tramp is such
because he wishes to be-because he
falls into the delusion that It is easier
to beg and steal than to work. one Of
those economic lulls known as "hard
times" may have set him to trampng.
But when this lull was over he did not
remain tramp unless he wished to.

When the members OF the legislature

A great difference In roads lies IN Tho
nature OF their surface. on a well
made gravel road one horse can draw
twice as much as he can on a well
made earth road. while ON hard md
smooth stone road he cnn pull four
times as much. Consequently, where

while ON stone roads one horse VIII

road one horse can do the work OF
twenty or more horses over a level

qualities OF hardness ana smoothnese
should by all means be secured. The
various surfaces for good country ro1ts
win be considered In the following

Chicago Becord-Herald sayG "The
announcement OF new discoveries re.
gardlng the cause and infectious ma.
turo OF tuberculosis is naturally fol.
lowed by new theories OF prevention
and cure. Tho worldwide prevalence
OF tile white scourge' invests these an.
nouncements OF the doctors and scien-
lists with more than ordinary public
interest. While tuberculosis is robbed
OF much OF its terror through the dis
covery that the infected lung tissue IS
durable. at the same time the public
is impressed with n new sense or NJ
dangerous character through the very
discovery that II Is communicable and
that no one is immune from It."

College football is strenuous. but not
necessarily dangerous. An invostlga-
ton made nt the end OF the last foot
ball season by Professor Dexter, OF the
University of Illinois, showed that in
the last ten years there were. as far
as could be asccr,alned. only three men
who had died from the effects OF the
game OF football in the colleges. OF
these. one was a man who had been
forbidden 10 play 'he game because OF
a weak heart. and another was n man
who played without training. Less than
three per cent OF the men who played
on regular college teams were seri.

SIR MoRTIMER's FIRST JULEP.

SIR MORTIMER'S FIRST JULEP.
With June comes the season when
that captivating beverage, the mint
iulep properly compounded, is much
IN vogue. The Baltimore Sun thus
tells what a prominent Englishman
thought of the seductive julep alter
tasting it;
:'S:r Mortimer Duraud. the British
Amb assador o the United States, IS
not only level headed diplomat, but
man of approved taste, so far as the
cup that cheers, and, if abused, in
ebriates. is concerned.
A dispatch recently published in
the Sun states that at Winchester
day or two ago the Ambassador sip
ped his first mint julep. compounded
la Virginia. The beverage went to
his heart Immediately and made
lasting impression upon that one old
British organ. This, said NORTH
mer, is, indeed, fascinating drink,
and / must have another before l
leave"
That is the feeling which the Viz
ginia julep invariably arouses in
those who are able to appreciate its
grandeur Rut another is often but
the prelude to another and then
we'll, Sir Mortimer is too wise man
to need any advice on this subject. A
little julep now and then is relished
by the best of men, but little goes
long ways, as the British Ambassa-
doris fellow countryman, w. M.
Thackeray, discovered on the occs-
sion OF his visit to Richmond a halt
century ago"
