Start of an Iowa Layvye

An Iowa lawyer tells the following
story Of his first months of practice
He went to n small country town and
secured an office room. in front of
which was placed the usual sign. Then
he sat down and waited for his clients
to appear. all the while feeling very
much the dignity of his position. The
day passed. and no one called. and an
other and another, until weeks went
by, and still there had been no client.
One morning. however. he was ut the
depot to attend upon the arrival OF the
daily accommodation train. quite an
important function Of the town, when
n handsome. well dressed young lady
approached and inquired. "Is this Mr..

WINDOW BOXES.
They Beautify Residence and Street.
How to Make Them.


One of the best ways to bcautify y
residence and street as we'll Is by
means Of window boxes with growing
flowers, and the plan Is being adopted
in many cities and towns this year. In
a Massachusetts town recently the vii
lage Improvement society induced the
residents of an entire street To beauti-
fy their residences in this way, and 1t
hns resulted in one of the prettiest
streets in the state.
ANY one can make these window
boxes Mt home with very little trou-

for the ends about eight inches wl,i"
Nail the front boards over the edges
Of the side pieces unless the boxes are
mitered ut the corners, which would
make them more expensive by requir-
ing the services of carpenter. When
the boards are neatly nailed together
tack narrow mOldinS along the edges
and over the corners to give them Il
finished appearance. Then paint the
boxes the color of the trimmings of
the windows. Secure them with iron
brackets and fill them first with one
inch of broken ash coal and then we'll

holes in each box for drainage.

plan way, the building of which was
begun three centuries before Christ,
are still in use and in good repair. 1t
remained for John l.. Macadam, a
modern Englishman, to prove that the
great expenditure of time and money
required In the building Of the old Ro
man roads was largely wasted. He
demonstrated that smooth, hard, EN-
during road could be built Of crushed
stone few inches in depth properly
spread ana compacted on foundation
of earth.
The main points in successful macad-
am road building are, first, that the
foundation be properly constructed
and drained; second, that the surface
of the road be slightly curved, so as to
shed water, and, third that the surface
Of the finished road be made hard and
smooth and us nearly waterproof as
possible The last Of these qualities is
secured by spreading on the stone in
layers. beginning with n layer Of the
largest fragments and finishing with a
Rlti VI very uue tTuSleu StOHt, Wltu
which some sand Is often Incorporated.
Each layer is we'll compacted with
heavy roller.
Although the expense Of building
macadam roads Is trhing compared
with thnt of constructing stone paved
rond like that Of the Roman emperor
Appius Claudius, 1t Is still so great as
to form the principal obstacle to mac
adamizlng modern highways The cost
Of course depends largely on the case
with which suitable stone may be Sc
cured. Where the material has to be
transported by mil for Il considerable
distance the cost Is greatly increased.
Some OF the Massachusetts highways
have cost $1,000 to $4,000 a mile,
while in some other states good mac
adam roads have been built for $1,000
to $1,000 mile
Some friends Of the good roads move
ment hesitate to join In the demand
for national aid because they are ap-
palled by the enormous expense in
volved in mncadnmizing the entire road
mileage Of the country These persons
are laboring under mistake. The na-
tional aid bills do not propose to con-
struct any particular kind Of road.
They simply propose to Improve the
public roads" and provide for "investi-
cations and experiments to determine
the best kinds of road material and the
best methods of road building" In
recent article Representative Brown
low says:
any own individual opinion is that
some OF the principal thoroughfares
ought TO be macadamized. Well in
formed road experts have estimated
that If one-tenth of the road mileage
of the country We're macadamized and
the other nine-tenths were improved
In other and cheaper ways, using the
best local materials available the cost
Of hauling the farm products of the
United States to market would be re-
duced to one-half"
If this estimate Is correct the saw
Ing to the farmers would be enormous
and would in few years be sufficient
to cover the entire expense of making
the improvements. Besides lessening
the cost Of hauling good roads will
bring to the people Of the rural dis
tricts pleasures and benefits which
cannot be measured in money.

A Good Object Lesson.

Canadian miners in the Klondike are
said to be able to buy their supplies at
q quarter of the price Americans have
to pay In the ncighboring Yukon dis
trict. This is due to the fact that the
Canadian government has built good
roads In this region. while the United
States government has only talked
about doing so, says Good Roads Mag
azine. This is Il case where talk Is not
cheap-tO the miners. 1t Is just possi-
BILE that there is lesson In this for
states whose legislatures have for
years talked about good roads and state
aid laws, but have not enacted them.
Their inaction has imposed a heavy
tax upon the farmers Of those states
and handicapped them in the race for
prosperity.
