 and it's Powers.
 Marihuana is @ weed used by people of the lower class, and sometimes by soldiers, but those who make larger use of it are prisoners sentenced to long term. The use of the weed and it's sale, especially in barracks and prisons, is very severely punished, yet it has many depts, and Indian women cultivate it because they can sell it at rather high prices.
 The dry leaves of marihuana, alone or mixed with tobacco, make the smoker wilder than wild beast. It is said that immediately after the first three or four drafts smokers begin to feel a slight headache; then they see every thing moving, and finally they lose all control of their mental faculties. Eve rything the smokers sse takes the shape of monster, and men look like devils. They begin to fight, and, of course, ev- erything smashed is. a smonster" killed.

Now, let us count" the sheep" said the dealer. :
 There were exactly 19 and the sen- ator was calculating the cost at $1.50 per head when the artist pointed to some spots between the trees and against the horizon.
 But all these are sheep,' he de- clared; ethere are at least thousand sheep in the flock. Take this strong glass and see."
 The Senator obeyed and sure enough, there were sheep everywhere and quite diseernable, even to the naked eye, when one knew the dots were meant for sheep. The picture cost the Senator we'll up to $2,000, plus the cost of the frame. But he thinks even at these figures he got a bargain, and he was completely carried away hv the shrewdness of the unknown genius.- Washington Post. |, .... @5--s4~.

It will soon be time to give the
roads their annual dash of dirt which
must do them for another year. AS
soon think of curing an invalid by
giving him an annual dose of physic.
But good roads conventions and
meetings galore can help matters but
little until in some way cash can be
provided for prosecution of work on
the roads. The land road tax is
usually worked out in a haphazard
way and nothing is left for repair of
bad places during the balance of the
year. A bad place soon becomes
worse and the worse it is the more it
costs to repair it. What is needed is
a reserve which will enable road over
seers to do needed work at any time
of the year.
