overwhelmingly of the need of good road

Montpelier. April i1-Thc Hon. c. w.
Gates of Franklin, State highway COM
missioner. met the road commissioners
OF Washington county to-day In the grand
jury room at the court house and dis
cusscd with them the problem of road
building. Nearly every road commissioner
in the county was present, as were sew
cral selcctmen and road commissioners
from towns in Orange county.
| Mr.. Gates called the meeting to order
about eleven O'Clock and after calling the
roll of road commissioners in the coun-
ty. and briefly outlining the object of the
meeting introduced r. s. Currier of Barre,
president of the Vermont Good Roads
association. Mr.. Currier touched upon the
object of the good roads association and
| the work it has already accomplished
and cited tho fact that while the state
school tax in the past ten years has been
increased from five to eight per cent.
the Stale highway tax has remained the
same. Mr.. Curricr spoke of bills intro
duccd in the last Legislature. having for
their object the Improvement of the high
ways of the State. which failed to pass.
Among these was the bill that provided
| that towns that receive State aid for
highways shall raise for that purpose at
at least % per cent. of the amount re-
ccived from the State
| Another good measure that failed was
the bill increasing the salary of the State
highway commissioners. We cannot build
bricks without straw in Vermont any
| more than il can be done elsewhere. That
bill provided that the State highway COM
missioner should put in all his time into
the work of his Office and should receive
for such work a fair salary. We pay the
| state superintendent of education more
than $500 n year and the State high
way commissioner receives 81 per day for
actual time spent. This bill also provided
| that the State highway commissioner
could send a deputy to lay out work i'm
the towns applying for State aid and
inspect the work when IL was completed.
1t is impossible for that official to visit
personally the 400 or more places where
permanent road work is being done. This
bill also provided that the State highway
commissioner should have an Office at the
State House. If we want to put this de-
partment on a reasonable basis with other
States more legislation along these lines
is necessary. In closing Mr. Currer urged
those present to use their influence to
to secure such legislation in 1906

MORE PENSION FRAUDS.
Pensions Granted to Men who Were

Never in United states Service.
Washington. April 1.-THE new pension
commissioner. Nespasian Warner, has
caused CONSERVATION in his department
| by notifying several members of the
board of review to show cause why they

rank. The commissioner is understood to
be campaigning against sljpshod methods
in his department
| The offense charged Is allowing pensions

in the service of the United States. These
men applied for pensions under President
Roosevelt's famous Executive order No
IS" demanding pensions on the ground
| that they were 81 years of age. Although
they never served in the army they got
the PENSIONS.

days, and many Of the men enlisted in

| Some years ago one Of the men applied

disallOwcd. The fact that the regiment
was not pensionablc was therefore Of
official record in the department. Never
theless. when the soldiers applied under
executive order No. 7S," the pensions
were granted. 1t also has been discovered
that pensions have been granted to men,

And now it is time to be thinking about

supposed to bark back thousands of years
even to the worship of Astartc, Queen OF
Heaven in the days of CecrOps, founder
of Athens. Many are the virtues that
have been attributed to these cakes IN
several counties of England, according to
one authority, a small loaf Of bread is
annually baked on Good Friday. and put
by as cure for many disorders until
the same anniversary comes again. Some
authorities date the origin of the cross
on the bun, to the plague stricken period
of the Middle Ages. when the church. al

ONE ON CONDUCTOR.
He Demanded Money, Got It, Kicked

Roast

Col. Sanders was q passenger on
enc of the Montana railroads at one
time. He had an annual pass on the
road but on this occasion he had left
il at home. He had Travelled the same
route many times before and was well
known to the conductor, relates the
Pittsburg Dispatch. When that Off
cial came around for tickets, the col
onel told him of his forgetfulness.
The conductor. however, was obdu-
rate; he must have ticket or money.
The colonel, rather than have scene,
finally pulled out five-dollar bill,
which was able to cover the expense
of his trip. 1t was a very ragged at.
fair-all torn and pasted
"That's a fine looking bill to give
me-" groWled the conductor
Col. Sanders was by this time thor
oushly nettled. "Well," he cr'ed in a
voice that could be heard all over the
car, eff you don't like it turn il in to
the copany."
The laugh that went up was 1T the

SAFETY IN HIGH SPEEDS.
Fast Trains Less Likely to be Thrown
From Rails Than Slow
Runners.

A few days ago an 1S-hour train on
the Pennsylvania railroad ran square
ly into a freight car and threw it
from the track Not a passenger was
aware of the accident at the time. The
flyer did not leave the rails. The only
person who was hurt was the engi-
neer, who jumped. A few days before
this occurred a writer in the Scientific
American said: "On the straight
stretches of the line the fast train,
because of it's higher velocity, is less
likely to be thrown from the track by
some obstruction than the slow train
The writer was once on an engine that
was laundering down grade through
the bad lands of Dakota, with a ten
car train behind it, at speed of over
GO miles an hour, when the engine
struck and swept through band of
wild horses that dashed out of neigh
boring canyon across the track just
as the train was upon them. The en-
gine and train kept the rails un-
harmed. At another time he was on
an engine that was crawling slowly
up grade, when small band of sheep
crossing the tracks proved enough to
derail the engine.
1T takes but a very small force to
iefect a billiard ball that is rolling
slowly across a billiard table, but if

stinctive recognition of this fact that

have seen that hey must hit COM
raratively light obstruction. to in

of the train.
Indeed. it is matter of record
that on one occasion the Twentieth
Cenury limited cut through a box car
hat had been thrown across the track
Immediately in front of it, with so H.

passengers knew nothing of the occur
