 Mrs. F. c. Johnson, living four miles northwest of this place, was saved from drowning through a dream. Several nights ago she dreamed she had slipped into the well on the place while at tempting to draw water. So impressed was she with the dream that the next morning she fastened a long rope to a heavy iron stake. driven deep into the ground, and threw the loose end of the rope Into the we'll She instructed her little boy at the same time to grasp the rope should he fall into the we'll.
 During the afternoon she went to the well to draw water and, slipping on the wet platform, slid Into the open curb. The we'll is twenty y-four feet deep and half full of water The plunge took her away under but upon coming to the surface she seized the rope and climbed out hand over hand, using the side of the wall as a brace. In relating her ex- perience, Mrs. Johnson says that all she could think off while falling in the well was that the rope was there.

Where Four States Meet,

The only place in the world where
four states, territories or provinces
join, is where the boundry lines Of
Colorado Utah, New Mexico and Ari-
IONA meet. 1t is the only "four cor
ners CONDITION OF political divisions
of the kind on earth, and the United
States has marked the place with
stone monument, the names of the
four divisions being inscribed on the
shaft. The spot is in the heart of a
country, once density populated by cliff
jewellers, and access to it is so difficult
that few tourists make their way
there. Mancos, Colo, is the nearest
railroad town. and it is one hundred
miles distant. Were it not for the
boulders lying about wagon could be
set down with each wheel in a
different state.

No other form of poverty can
compare with mental restitution.
Though man own neither houses
nor lands nor money, yet, if he has a
cultivated mind and broad mental
horizon, if the door of his intellect has
been opened wide, so that he drinks
In beauty and intelligence wherever
he goes, and il he has developed his
Sympathies SO that he is in touch
with life at all points, he has found
the secret of success and happiness.
On the other hand, if man merely
accumulates millions of dollars,
though he own broad acres and live in
a palace, il his mind has been starved,
IL he is intellectually poor, he will
know nothing of the world beautiful
in books. he will see nothing to
admire ia art, nothing to soothe or
elevate in music; if he has been wholly
absorbed in crowding and elbowing
his way through the world to the
total neglect of his higher nature, in
spite Of his houses and lands, his
palatial residence and all his costly
surroundings, he is the most despicable
and pitiable kind of pauper.
Saving money and starving the
mind is the poorest business that any
human being can possibly engage in.
Wear threadbare clothes, if Unnecessary;
sleepin a bare attic, il you must;
sacrifice legitimate but unnecessary
amusements; do anything in reason
rather than Starve your mind. Feed
that at any cost short of injuring
health.
A youth who has learned the
alphabet has the key to all power.
He can make royal investments, for
mental investment is the greatest
any one can make It is a form OF
wealth that will stand by one when
panics or other misfortunes have
swept away property, when friends
fall away, when the whole world
seems to have turned against you.
No matter what happens, if you have
rich mind, il your intellect is a
stOreh0use Of precious knowledge
you can never in reality be poor.

THE PASSING OF
THE PATHMASTER

s'The pathmaSter is a pioneer handed
down into these days Of development
AS his name signifies, he was factor
of early days. He blazed the trail and
laid the path through forest and over
plain from settlement to settlement.
He was leader among the apostles OF
axe and gun who established the first
means Of local commerce. And like
the log house, the OK team and the
"InjunS" he is becoming thing of
the past. With all the good he has
been to history, like the ague, sand
flies, mosquitoes and leeky butter, be-
fore many generations more have
passed he will be only sweet memory.
La his flower he assembled the farmers
Of his road district after corn planting
to make about the same temporary
HlliDg in and diggings out that had
been made from year to year. He
would, each year, rebuild the same
culverts, repair the same 'crpssways,
cut the same overhanging brush and
I'LL in the same washouts. A new
piece Of road was sometimes cut, but
never built except in the most
temporary manner. In short, bis was
much less road factory than repair
shop.
"But a change is coming, in fact,
has come. The progressive farmer
now realizes that the highway is to
him what the railroad is to the city, a
poor one is better than none, but it
does not meet the demands of progress
and competition. With a road over
which he can haul his product to
market any day in the year be can
take advantage of the markets and is
pot at the mercy Of the weather for
the prices he may hope to get. He
also begins to realize that it is better
to raise moderate money tax and
have it effectually applied ih building
permanent. roads. than to pay a larger
tax and get no permanently good roads,
These changes in the farmers, senti-
ments toward the road question are
shown in the number OF townships
that are adopting the township road
system, with an occasional county
adopting the county system.
1.-THE pathmaster is slowly but surely
passing. He was a necessity to his
time. But like the rod and gun as
means of supporting the family, he is
no longer equal to the task. Well
tillde fields must have good roads or
their market value is much impaired.

LECTURE COURSE FOR
NEXT WINTER

For some time citizens committee
have been working on proposition
to secure a lecture course, or course
OF entertainments for this city to be
held the coming winter. It is not
yet however an assured fact, but
every indication points to complete
success. There has been two represen-
tatives here of late representing two
prominent lecture bureaus. At
present the committee are talking of
securing five entertainments two
lectures, two concerts ard one enter
tainer.
They find that they can secure the
following: VIM. Jenning Bryan,
lecture, Rev. Father F. T. Moran, of
Cleveland, lecture, Slayton Jubilee
Singers, concert. Dunbar Company,
male quartette concert, Germaine ma
gician entertainer. This would give us
five high grade entertainments which
can only be secured by contracting for
the same this spring.
There are ninety-four towns in this
state that have already secured a
course of entertainments for next
winter. More than two-thirds of
these towns are smaller than Grand
Rapids. There is no good reason
why this city should not have first
class course Of entertainments for
next winter.
