GOV. BAcHELDER's VIEWS.
He Demands National and State Aid
for Roads as a Matter of JUS
tice to Farmers.

New Hampshire is one OF the states
which is making rapid strides in the inn
provement of her roads. Gov. Bachel-
der, of that state-and he is also an OH
Ger of the National Grange-is a very en-
thusiastic advocate of road improve
ment. In a recent address he said:
"The development and prosperity of
any state or nation depend in some de-
gree upon the transportation facilities
provided; and such facilities include
not only our rivers and harbors and our
great railway and steamboat conf
panies, but also the highways over which
all our products and all our people are
transported.
1.-THE important matter now before the
friends of good roads is to arouse the
people to a realization of their respon-
sibility in securing favorable state and
national legislation or the subject. The
| small pittance appropriated for the use
of the good roads bureau of the Depart
ment of agriculture is entirely out OF
proportion to the money appropriated
for other objects of a public nature
when their relative importance is con-
sidered.
Another important matter is the con-
struction of roads adapted to the needs
of travel over them. Much harm has
come to the good roads movement in
some sections of the country through the
advocacy of more expensive roads than
the of the people would war;
rant and demand. Costly stone roads
are economical upon portions of our
highways, but we must not overlook the
fact that there is a vast mileage of roads
that could be permanently improved by
the judicious expenditure of a compare
lively small sum of money per mile.
We should give due prominence to this
fact in considering the matter from a
state or national standpoint.
"As an official of the National Grange,
I desire to say a word for the farmers
of the country in regard to national aid
for road building. The farmers have
been loyal to the interests of the nation
in every emergency in the past. They
have contributed their full share in pro-
portion to their wealth to the revenues
for the support of the government. The
ablest statesmen and most successful
business men, contributing to the devel-
opment and prosperity of the country
point to the farms as their birthplace
When our country has been in danger
the farmer boys have responded nobly
to her defense. We have uncomplain.

ments, the construction of canals ant

We nov ask, in the name of justice, thai

ment of highways. This involves the
establishment of no new policy, but tho
extension of the former one. We asl

A Natural Mistake

Stranger-My! But this must be an
unhealthy town.
Extraordinarily? My friend, this
is one of the healthiest places in the
United States.
"But look at all the drug stores. Why,
there's II of them Oh every orner
The people must have to take a great
deal of medicine, or those stores
couldn't exist"
ooh, the drug stores are what made
you think this is an unhealthy town,
eh? Well, that just shows how a per-
son may be mistaken. This is a local
option district" - Chicago Evening

Catching FIamingoes.

The 1amingoes which fish in a lake
near Mount Ascotan, in the Andes, are
easily caught by the Indians. The lake
is fed by a hot spring, but most of the
surface is frozen every night. Accord
ingly the Indians, knowing that if the
birds fish in the colder places they will
befrozen fast by their legs, visitit every
morning to seize them before the hot
sun thaws the ice.-Chicago Inter

Youthful PHILOSOPHER.

1t was a philosophic six-year-old in
Eastport who had cut his shoe acciden-
tally while ''fooling' with a knife, and
whose father was ~reproving him at
great length for his ~carelessness. The
little fellow listened patiently for a
time, then looking up at his father,
said: Papa, if you don't stop talking
so much about it, you'll get me mad,
too."-Portland Advertiser.

tro, que en- un reducido numero de

que constituian la caracterfstica de

Todas las razas han caminado

sus tradiciones; todos los pueblos
han lido despoiandose del bagaje indtil,
de leyendas fantasticas, de habitos NAL
sanos, de practicas inmorales: pero
sin perder nj despojarse de aquellas
que, adaptables al progreso de los
tiempos, constituyen ell rasgo moral de
un pueblo.
Refornar no es destruir FL cul-

fdcil de5and ar en- un dia el largo pro-
ceso moral que por amos por siglos

renovation, SC reduce una simple
sustituci6n de los malos habitos y cos
tumbres primitivas, por costumbres,
hdbitos practieas, que no solo repre-
senten una innovation sino tambien
un mejoramiento una conveniencia.
Pero nosotros nos vamos despojando
de nuestras costumbres sin sustituirlas
con otras que representen algdn pro

Todas las eivilizaciones han tent
