Improving the Capitol.

st. Paul-An imposing entrance to
the grounds of the new capitol, which
may require the vacation of that por-
ton of Wabasha street from Central
avenue to Rice street, will probably be
the next important task undertaken
by the state capitol commission or its
successor.
The capitol commission has practi-
cally decided not to undertake the con-
struction of an approach this year, and
it is possible that the matter will be
deferred until after the next session of
the legislature. The plan that has
been suggested would require the ex-
penditure of considerable money, more
than the commission has left out of the
81, 500, 900 tax levy.

. We were talking recently with
prominent citizen Of Sydney, Austria
liza, who Is in this country for visit.
He tells us that the rabbit Is still one
Of the greatest Of pests in that country
and that every means so far tried
to exterminate it has utterly failed.
Tight fencing, with the fence sunk
foot or more in the ground, Is the only
means Of protecting crops.
It is all we'll enough to talk and
write about the simple life, but what
Is one to do when trains run seventy
miles an hour and Sunday papers run
up to hundred pages, every little
town with a Chautauqua, the society
machine carrying 21O pounds Of steam
and athletics knocking the classics out
at our colleges? The simple life means
getting very far away from our mod
ern civilization.
The shrinkage Of hay after being in
the NOW for six months has been de-
termined to be about 20 per cent.
Therefore, when you can sell new hay
from the field at 81 per ton it Is just
as well sold as it would be in the win
ter from the barn at S., and you are
ahead the interest on the value Of the
hay and the labor OF hauling it to the
barn. This is for well cured hay. It
is oftener much more than this.
The average tramp will not work If
he can possibly help it and for this
reason Is entitled to no aid or sympa-
thy whatever. He is parasite pure
and simple. Society does itself q
wrong when it allows sympathy and
charity to be extended in any manner
to him. The old doctrine that If
man will not work neither shall he eat
should be made to apply in the most
literal sort of way to this social pest.
We lately passed through twenty
mile strip Of country, prairie valley
with 200 foot bluffs hemming it in on
either side. as charming bit Of scenery
as we have come across in many day.
Still it was hard proposition from an
agricultural standpoint. The crops had
been badly washed out by the floods in
the valley, while the hills were at best
very poor pasture ground. Beautiful
landscapes and profitable farming
don't mix very well.

Through all the country there is an
awakening interest in securing better
roads. The time has come when men
no longer figure to see how little work
they can give in payment Of their, road
taxes, and in many places large
amount of purely voluntary work is
being done on the roads. This is a
good sign. for in common with the care
given the cemetery and the position
accorded to woman the good road indi-
Gates the progressive civilization Of q
community.

It beats all how much annoyance
and vexation can be worked up out Of
the everyday work of life if one is al
ways looking for trouble and bound to
find it. And, inverting this statement,
it also beats all how cheerful and
hopeful way of looking at life and it's
work will checkmate trouble and make
life worth living. We always feel sorry
for that person who is born with the
corners Of his mouth turned down.
