A Complete and Happy snrprise.

On Friday evening, Feb. 10Th, Rev
j.. nj. Hnpp was noat agreeably and
happily surprised. For some time
members of the Baptist church and
other friends had been planning u sur.
prise 10 honor of the pastors 43rd
birthday. The pastors wife was made
acquainted with the plans and proved
to the entire satisfaction of her hns-
band that ~ woman can keep secret
Owing to the fact that his birthday
came on Saturday it was thought best
TO arrange the surprise for Friday
evening. Rev Hupp was at Burbank
during the day, assisting as clerk at
the Engle Smith sale. Mrs. Hupp
drove over to Burbank In the after
noon, returning with her husband.
about $40 In the evening. Oscar met
them at the gate and took possession
of the horse aud buggy Rev. Hupp
stalked into the house, bag and bag
gage, when, lol TO his sur prise, every
room on the lower floor was filled with
guests.
A very pretty musical program was
carried out, after which Il substantial
lunch was served. After lunch, Mr.
s.. Al. Smith, on behalf 0f the guests
presented the pastor with an envelope
containing betweeen seven and eight
dollars In cash as q slight token of the
esteem Ia which he is held by the peo-
Die. In q few brief and we'll chosen
remarks Rev. Hupp thgsrIxed the do
nors, assuring them that their kind re-
membrance was reciproc ate,l
The only annoying feature Of the DC
casi0n was the refusal OF the pastors
vile to inform him that a delicious
supper awaited him NJ his home. She
allowed him to eat to the full before
leaving Burbank. while she Remained
as mum as an oyster. Alta late hour
the large crowd dispersed, wishing

AUTO GOGGLES FOR DOGS
Erenchmen Now Dress Their Canine
Pets in Up-to-Date Motoring
Costumes.

The automobile has always been bad
for the dog unlucky enough to stay in
fits way But il has also been and is
bad for the dog that rides in the car with
his master. The dust gives him sore
eyes and he catches cold.
The master, having devised means for
ais own comfort on the road, has at last
bethought himself Of his dumb COM
panion. 1t is no uncommon sight in
Paris now TO see the dog peering fro n
the front seat through enormous goggles
such as the chauffeur himself wears.
He wears heavy blanket, tailored to
fit as snugly as a coat, and a scarf about
his neck to keep pneumonia at a dis
lance.
Small wonder that the peasants on
country roads about Paris, seeing this
strange beast in the still terrifying mo-
tor car, alongside a creature more re-
sembling a gorilla than a man, raise
their eyes to heaven and murmur: Mad,
all mad!"

OF $4,000 to each state to be used IN SUD-
porting these agricultural colleges. This
annual appropriation has been increased
frora year to year until II is now SIS 900
ior each state. This direct appropria-
ton. added to the income which all the
states derive from the land grants of
1867. makes an aggregate OF nearly ST.
ooo.eO0 a year. which the states now re-
ceive as national aid to agricultural edu-
cation.
one Interesting feature of this gov
eminent aid scheme is that It involves
cooperation between the nation and the
states somewhat similar to that ow pro-
posed In the Observation-Disclosures road
Dill. The government appropriations
and the land grant funds must be used
only In maintaining the colleges. not in
establishing them. The states must pro-
vide the buildings and equipment. Most
OF the states also putup part Of the funds
used In paying the current expenses
In addition to all this, congress In 1887
passed the Hatch act making a gift of
$4,000 annually to each state to aid In
supporting state experiment station,
and In this we have another example of
the same kind OF cooperation The states
now receive from the government for the
support OF these stations nearly $500 900
annually. This added to the government
aid which the colleges enjoy makes q
grand total Of more than 200 900 an
nual1y.
The good roads people are asking why
their plan for national aid to road i'm
provement should be branded as uncon-
stttutional and paternalistic, while gov
eminent aid to education is a well estab-
lished feature Of our national policy.
They point out that. while the constitu-
ton expressly empowers congress to" es-
tablish post roads," 1t is silent on the
matter Of education. They also claim
that agricultural education is something
which the states could handle far more
easily than the improvement of the roads.
On the whole, it looks as though the
good roads advocates have the best of
the argument, and federal aid to educa-
ton will serve as strong precedent for
FEDERAL aid to road Improvement.

Work for Early Spring DAYS.

The fences will need looking after, and
that is a Job not to be put of. Drive a
few nails here and there where they will
do the most good. Very likely there is
post loosened by the frost, or gate that
says. or hinge out of order. Coal tar
and mortar, mixed, is a good thing to
stop the rat holes. 1t is something they
will not be apt TO gnaw. The drains
and the sewers ought to be watched and
kept clean. A little plaster, bone meal,
orsuperphosphatem makes good top dres-
sing for pasture lands, and for all grass
lands; and there Is no better time to put
1t on than this. when the coating OF
snow has left them soft.-Frank H.
