It is announced that the govern
ment will look more carefully 10 the
enforcement of its rule regard ne
the roads over which rural free d.
livery is established. The present
requirement is ssRoads traversed
shall be kept in good condition and
unobstructed by gates; there must
be no unabridged creeks or streams
not fordable at any season of the
year" In many cases the residents
along proposed routes have made
improvements that enable them to
obtain rural delivery services, but
sometimes the efforts to keep up the
roads are relaxed. But the govern
ment has desired that unless the
roads travelled by the carriers are
properly maintained, the service
will be withdrawn. The postofice
department now calls en- TIE car
riers for reports on the roads, and
will stop the service where the high
ways in question are bad.
The IS, 975 rural delivery carriers
now employed cover S65,563 miles
daily, and it is unreasonable to ex-
pect them to contend with neglected
roads, or to work for communities
lacking the enterprise to keep their
common highways in decent shape.
Wherever a route is discontinued
the inhabitants themselves will be to
blame for it, for if alive to their own
interests and their duty to the public
they would give their roads vigor-
ous and constant attention. The
idea that a route once authorized
Is necessarily permanent is mistake.
Advice on the best road methods is
supplied by the agricultural depart
nent, and neighborhood that loses
It's rural delivery must itself bear
he discredit for so unpleasant and
lumiliating an event.

SCHMIDT-EDWARDS WED-
 DING ENDS ROMANCE.
POPULAR MINING MAN WEEDS WOMAN VII ONuRSED HIM
 BACK TO HEALTH.

The ending of a very pretty romance came yesterday when Rev. Harvey M. Shields pronounced the words which made Frand Schmidt, a popular mining man and merchant of Lowell, and Miss Everna Edwards man and wife. Beginning at time when Mf. Schmidt lay on a couch in the Calu- met & Arizona hospital, fighting with grim death, when Miss Edwards first saw the suffering man, the romance has been nurtured until Cupid entered the field. encirciins the hearts of the two young people and claiming them as his victim.
 For Miss Edwards 1t was case of love at first sight, love fully recipro- cated on the part of the young man who knew that he owed his life to the tender words and loving caresses which were his during the long weeks of convalescence. And 1t Is rumored that Schmidt was a patient at the hos pitai long after he continued to be care to the physicians. However that may be, the pretty nurse and the handsome patient found time to ex- change thesr condolences, and before MT. Schmidt was discharged from the hospital he had sustained wound which nothing but the lifelong minis t-ations of his enamorata could heal A fitting ending came yesterday when Miss Edwards was lead to the hyme- nial altar on the arm of the lucky pa tient.
 Mir. and Mrs. Schmidt left for the coast, where they will spend their honeymoon.

yet we were glad 10 listen 10 the sad,
sweet strain, which because of a human
interest appeals so strongly TO senti-

were reminded of a letter written to a
London paper by Sir Edwin Arnold when
touring the states, as follows:

river ran down from the Georgia hills in
a lively current, broken sometimes into
rapids and little cataracts where the red
and black rocks lay across its channel,
and then widened out into picturesque

Mrs. StuyvesRnt Fish is this summer, as
formerly. the leading society parsonage in
America. Mrs. Fish is undoubtedly the
hardest notable woman in America TO
photograph. She is continually on her
guard against the snapshot man, especial
ly, and she does not hesitate to go to ex-
treme lengths to BATTLE him. Owing TO
this dislike on her part the ordinary pho
tographs of Mrs. Fish that have been
doing duty show her as she was years
ago.
Mrs Fish enjoys the distinction Of
being the leading society parsonage in
America largely because of the fact that
she has given more novel, not to say
bizarre social functions" than any other
person in or beyond the pale of the So
called Four Hundred. She is the original
entertainer, par excellence, Of the New
port summer colony. Whatever she does
makes that jaded coterie Of multi-million-
aire families sit up and display decided
interest. Incidentally the same effect is
noticeable pretty generally throughout
this country.
Mrs. Fish's Fourth of July contribution
to the entertainment of Newport. and the
gossip of a nation was to have been a
bathing suit dinner, but a dOwnpour Of
rain caused the plan to be changed, the
guests appearing in conventional garb.
One of Mrs. Fish's most daring and
costly functions was given three years
ago. when she hired the entire Chinese
Honeymoon" company to provide fun for
her guests assembled in her Newport cot
tage. This happened on st. Valentine s
day. and was the talk of the socially elect
for months, so successfully did she sur
prise them out OF their state of real and
assumed ennui.
Among Mrs. Fishs earlier social sue
cesses was the umbrella dinner Each
guest sat beneath as costly shade piece
as the agents of the hostess could pro-
cure Another much talked-of entertain

London Tit-Bits.)

The recent discovery of a valuable
Correggio in the mountain home OF a
Moroccan bandit furnished the latest
example OF the romantic vicissitudes of
old masters, many of which are at least
as strange as fiction.
If pictures had tongues what curious
stories of wandering and adventure
some of them could tell! Take, for in
stance, that magnificent picture of
Titan, canvas sixteen feet long and
seven feet high. representing the en-
tombment of Christ, which was lost
for centuries, only TO come to- light in
a church in the heart of Mexico; or
that portrait of Nell Gwyn by Sir Peter
Lely. which was discovered not long
ago by doctor in Birmingham slum.
Take, too, Raphaels famous "Massa-
ere of the Innocents," which was found,
after generations of disappearance, in
the cottage Of a poor widow at Como.
Piece by piece it was possible, with
much difficulty, to reconstruct some of
the history of this treasure Of art and
a strange story IL is. At one time it
belonged to the celebrated Cardinal
Yppolito d'Este, Ariestos patron, from
whose hands 1t passed into those of
another cardinal, Luigi d'Este. At his
death a priest of Reggie became its
ONllCI lOI tic SUN VI al SOW
ereign: and he. after refusing thrice
this sum for II. presented 1t to the
Duke Alfonso d'Este. who in turn gave
1t to the Princess Margherita Gonzaga,
his niece.
When the princess died the picture
passed to the Duke of Urbino, and from
that stage of its history nothing more
was heard of il until 1858, when the
Duke d'Este employed a Franciscan
monk to find II at any cost. For five
years the monk sought everywhere In
vain and at the end of the time he re-
ported to the duke that after having
travelled all over Italy on his quest and
employing every means, both spiritual
and material. he was forced to aban-
don the hopeless task" And now. two
and half centuries later, the long lost
picture has come thus strangely tc
light
"A few years ago one Of Albert Dur
er's masterpieces was discovered, dust
