THE INCIDENT OF FAILURE
Only TO Temporary
Setback.

To an able man failure doesn't matter.
Wise and experienced persons know It.
When william II. and James II. Moore
failed in 1896 their account balanced about
like this: Liabilities, SO 100, 900; assets 81"
Some creditors looked at the balance sheet
and clamored; talked about law and attach
ments and so on Others looked at the
clear-eyed, urbane, nervy debtors and just
wiped the slate-canceled the indebtedness
out Of hand; made the debtors a Christmas
present OF IT,. These latter the Moores let
into their subsequent great iron and rail-
road deals and made them profits that
amply compensated for the cancelled debts.
Probably sheer courage is more important
than anything else. Knowing the rules, as
deduced from experience, doesn't help
much Ten years ago the Illinois National
bank failed calamitously, its back broken by
carrying an unweildly street railroad The
clearing house committee sat upon 1t one
night just before Christmas; decided that
II had sinned and must die John r. Walsh
was a member Of that committee. He laid
down the rule very clearly; A bank that
tied up its assets IN promoting a street
railroad had no right to exist. For twenty
years Walshs name was synonymous with
soundest, most conservative business judg-
ment. Then the clearing house committee
had TO sit upon him It found that he
had tied up the assets Of his bank in pro-
noting a steam railroad. He had been do
ing precisely the thing that he had so
clearly seen TO be inevitably disastrous
when the Illinois National did 1t ten years
before-only doing Il on a larger scale.
His bank failed, with an attendant ava
Ianche OF disgrace. In the afternoon Of the
exciting day Of the failure gray fellow
banker was asked as to the outlook. Il be-
ueve Walsh will pull out" he said. i've
tust seen him. He hasn't lost a particle OF
his courage" You see. he wasn't looking at
the statement OF assets and Liabilities, but
into the eye Of the man.-wil Payne in

The Revival of an Old Assembly.

Few Americans of the present day,
writes Peter Freneau in the June
D~elineatOr, ever pause to think of the
generations that came before them
and who helped to build the greatest
country in the world. \ step toward
correcting this condition of mind is
discovered in the recent Assembly
Ball, which took place in April at the
Aston House. New York Citv-hOme
of all functions of this character in
the old days. 1t may be interesting
to know, as, the author tells US, it
was there, in the early part of the
last century, the wicked waltz was
introduced, much to the horror of all
straight-laced Gotham danes. Later,
the affairs were revived at the City
Hall and the AstOr House, which came
near being called the Park Hotel.
This famous hostelry a opened in
May 1886, and decided by John Jacob
Aston to his son William for one
dollar. Seventy years is a very long
time for a public building to stand in
the city of mushroom changes. One
month after the Aston House was
finished the Union Club was founded.
and in the Autumn Aaron Burr died
over at New Brighton. At the theatres
Charlotte Cushman and lovely Ellen
Tree were delighting the town, and d
little later some ventureSOme dandy
was seen on Broadway with a nous
tache, causing all old mother knick-
erbrOcke, to exclaim. "Oh. the hor-
rid Turk The ball was held here in
the costume and with all the ceremony
of a a a century ago.

in securing this demonstration
work, and should we simply real
ize as a result of it that building
good roads, even of dirt, requires
both knowledge and skill, we
will be amply repaid for the money
spent. The idea prevalent for
years and years that any man
with good common sense could
supervise road construction, has
cost thousands upon thousands
of dollars without any adequate
return. Looking upon the con
ditiOn of the roads today and
comparing with the past shows
practically no Improvement and
yet their cost has been exceed
ingly heavy.
A. a result of these road de-
mOnStratiOnS there will surely
follow a recognition of the fact
that working the roads" and
"building' good roads are anti
theses of each other, and let US
hope that this recognition will
manifest itself so vigorously in
this parish that a superintendent
of roads who is a practical road
builder will take charge of our
highways as a bonded officer,
to see that every dollar of the
road fund and every other dollar
we can spare for the roads, shall
be expended economically and
efficiently.

The Cane Crop
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana Planter.
During the week the progress
of the cane crop has been brought
to a srandstill by the extraOr-
binary norther which has been
prevailing, giving us the coolest
week in May that has been ex-
perienced for many years. The
previous warm weather did
great good to the whole crop,
plant cane and stubble, and in
many cases established the fact
that the dormant canes are
sound even where they have not
yet appeared above the surface
of the ground.
Stubble canes in black lands,
which are warmer than the rest,
are generally making a fine show
ing. at least where the lands are
not too low, and good reports
come from the plant cane crop.
The present cold weather is
now passing away and we shall
hope a week later to report the
cane crop in full growth, no harm
having been done by the norther,
other than an additional week
lost, placing the whole crop at
least a month behind its normal
condition at this season of the
year.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROAD
DEMONSTRATION.


DEMONSTRATION.
The discussions whichhave been
going on for the past few years
as to the economy. convenience
and advantage of good roads has
drawn attention to the condition
of our public roads to such good
purpose that everywhere a strong
sentiment has been awakened In
favor of good roads.
That the public should have
paid so little attention to such an
important matter in the past, es
pecially in the South, is because
their energies were required in
other and more pressing direc-
tions. Now, however, that pros
perity is manifest everywhere
and the entire country busy with
an unprecedented era of develop
ment, a point has been reached
where it is possible to stop and
take stock. as it were, of our
achievements. not forgetting to
calculate the cost in energy and
the loss because of urgency.
And this calculating has largely
been the cause of the present
agitation for good roads, because
it has revealed the fact that neg
lect of the roads on account of
pressure because of other things,
has shown an enormous ecOnO-
mic loss; bad roads have cost the
people millions upon millions
that had they been applied to the
correction of road conditions
would have made a marvellous diff
ference in the highways of to-
day.
This discovery by the general
public has set in motion an active
campaign for good roads that
promises a revolution in roads,
fOrecasting the time when every
main highway will be broad and
firm and level and maintained
with the care now devoted to rail
road beds.
The government anticipating
that the Importance of good roads
would impress itself upon the
minds of the people and lead them
to ask for trained men to show
them how to build them, founded
years ago a good roads depart
ment, which has given it's whole
attention to road building. I'm
der it's direction able men have
been studying the subject from
every standpoint. They have in
vestigated soil and conditions in
all sections of the country, they
have experimental, tested and
corrected until today the govern
ment has at it's command men
learned in road building, who
known scientifically and practi-
cally how to build a road any
where and out of any kind of ma
terial.
The government has made al.
these efforts, has expended all
this money, has trained all these
men, with but one purpose in
view---to teach the people how to
build good roads, and SO when
Lafayette in earnest spirit, asked
of the government for teachers,
they were favored highly indeed
by having some of the most capa-
BILE men of the department as
signed here.
These road experts are now
busily engaged in building an
object lesson dirt road and a
piece of permanent road in front
of the Industrial Institute, thanks

A minister of the gospel, according
to this tale, was walking to and fro In
a long passage that ran through the
house and medltatlng upon his next
sermon There brushed by him a
housemaid. He watched her pass and
enter his study. Fearing that she
would disarrange his papers, he hurried
after her, went into his study-and no
one was there. No means of egress
was possible but by the one door
through which he had seen the girl en-
ter. He rang the bell and--the house
maid came down from the top OF the
house, where she had been performing
her duties. And the unusual part Of
the story Is that nothing happensd--
no one slekened and died. The young
woman married happily. And yet that
minister of the gospel IL sure that he
saw that housemald pass him. Nor to
