Paderewsk
When we entered the box the concert had begun
The audience sitting hushed under the spell of
sweet sounds that stirred the soul But arrival
caused heads to turn l could see people nudge each
other, and say that it Joseph Jefferson who had
just come in. For moment attention wandered from
the music. 1t was plain to that Paderewski,
sensitive to slight impressions, felt it. He half
turned his head with just slight suggestion of
annoyance
But, of course, there was break in that wonderful
flow of music Jefferson, with the fine instinct that
made him desirOus not to interfere in the slightest
degree with the performance of another took seat
far back in the box possible and in a moment the
audience again under the sway of music that
full of strange whisperings.
When Paderewsk ceased, with a final burst of
rhapsody, the rows OF statues in the seats suddenly
became animate with wild enthusiasm. The pianist
bowed distantly, and then glanced toward box.
Jefferson had left his chair and leaning recklessy
over the railing, clapplng his hands with the gusto
of boy.
Paderewsli recognized him. Instantly his alb
stracted expression changed smiles, and ignoring
now the demonstrative applause in front, he bowed
directly to Jefferson The latter put fresh impetus
into his hand-clapping. The pianist bowed to him
again. Jefferson clapped harder still Once more
Paderewsk bowed and in the actors response
it seemed though he surely would split his gloves
The pianist suddenly laughed and Jefferson laughed
and the audience laughed
Then the latter realizing that before their eyes
was the pretty comedy of two celebrated artists
exchanging tributes of appreciation and each try
ing to outdo the other, gave vent to a burst of
applause that sounded like a sudden rush of mighty
waters.
1t was some moments before the house became
quiet enough for Paderewski to continue his recital
After it was over took Jefferson back to the green
room to meet his fellow conqueror in the field of art
and their hand-grasp long one

Second. Our long familiarity with
bad roads and the Indifference of those

Third. The lack of appreciation of
the social, commercial. and economic

Fifth. The lack of general authori-

STATE AND NATIONAL. AID.
The experience of Europe in road
Improvement shows that the highways
should be taken "a much a possible out

administered by the state governments.

niHrd Thoroughly that road, left to

The states of Massachusetts, New

creasing sentiment in middle western
states in favor of state and national aid
in permanent road building. Replies
to direct inquiries in IA majority of the
counties in Iowa and Missouri have in
nine cases ont of ten been favorable to
this plan Practical experience in the
older states has demonstrated that state
administration and aid in highway
construction is a great step toward the
solution of the road problem. The
Governments work for good roads at

detrimental. 1t is now claimed by some
that. if the government can aid rail-

there is no satisfactory reason why 1t

ppOGRESS OF ROAD BUILDING
!, the Middle West by ". R Rchar dson.
Special Agent of the Western D''s'o" o
public Road Inquiries. An Article That
Should be Read by Every Farmer.
TIVE RURAL POPULATION AND THE
ROADS.

ROADS.
1t has long been considered IN THIS
country that the public roads are Tor
tho exclusive Use and benefit of the
neonle living in the rural districts, ana
that this class alone should be held re
snon,ible for their construction, care
and maintenance. This is an erroneous
idea II is true that in tn" middle west
large majority of the population re-
sides in the country, either IN tn" small
,owns or on the farms In Iowa. with
a population Of more than 2,-Voo0o'
there are residing in the country dis
triets l.65O.O 900. In Missouri. with
population of more than 3,lo0, oo0' there
are living in the country ncarl! or quite
1000 900: and conditions are much the
same in the other middle west states.
In this section the rural population has,
during the ter years ending with 300,
increased faster in comparison with
the urban population than during pre-
yious decades. This has resulted from
the building of trolley and ,team-rail-
road lines. If such result /, produced
by the extension of electric lines ana
steam railways. how much more may
be expected when the common road, OF
the country are brought up to the same
degree of perfection. 1t will speedily
remove apprehension Of the serious
and congested condition Of our cities: it
will dspel the isolation of country life,
and it will assure happy homes with
pure air and elbow room for larger
element of our population. \ large
majority of the people will be directly
benefited by the Improvement of the
roads. 1t may be asserted that, as the
greater number of the people live in
the country and as the agricultural in
terests are more directly benefited by
good highways, it is but ust that they
should bear the burden of their cost
looked, however, that the cities are the
centers OF commerce and wealth, the
focus points of all public roads, and
that they are sustained principally by
this rural population. They should,
therefore. bear their part in maintain
ing adequate means of intercommuni-
cation. AS the whole people are bene-
fitted by improved roads. all should
share the burden of their cost and
maintenance. The plan of depending
upon the rural districts alone to provide
durable highways has signally failed.
