WHERE Is HEP
The man who thinks the bygone days

And practicing Old-fashioned ways
And still inclined to fret:
He speaks OF ills we have to bear
As things unknown before;
But where's the man who used to wear
The bristly pompadour2
The man with whiskers on his chin,
Cut a Ia William Goat,
Is with us STILL TO lose or win,
To sink or proudly float.
His collar button nestles there,
Well hidden as of yore,
But where's the man who used to wear
The bristly pompadour?
The man who sits around and signs,
Referring to the past.
And bOasting- of mothers pies
To life is clinging fast
He ne'er will disappear and ne'er
Find out that he's q bore:
But where's the man that used to wear
The bristly pompadour?

That in his boyhood days
He had to seek his meager joys
In hard and righteous ways

That KnighthOod is no more;
But where's the man who used to- wear
The bristly pompadour?

a coon ROADS ExPERTNrENT.

Some farmers living southwest of
Topeka have solved the good roads
problem in a large degree. They have
maintained five miles of country road
in good shape for a year at a cost of
$34
This road extends from Seabrook,
the suburb Of Topeka west of Wash
burn college. to Bradford N1iller's place
five miles west. A macadamized road
extends from the paved streets to Sea-
brook, but west of there the road Is of
the common dirt variety-the kind
that becomes very hard to travel in
muddy weather
Last year Nj. Miller interested the
farmers along this road in the King
road drag. and seventeen of them sub
scribed two dollars each to experiment
with the drag. The road was dragged
nineteen times from September to July
inclusive Three times each in Sep
TENDER and October. twice in Novem-
Der, once each in January, February
and March, hve times In April. and
once each in May, June and July. No
draggings at all were necessary. in De-
cember. but this is. of course. unusual.
The Kansas Farmer makes these com
ments on the subject:
Every one Of the seventeen sub
scribers is so well pleased with the re-
suit that the work is to be continued
under the same arrangement.
