all the newer sections of the state that
a highway commission meant money
spent for expensive roads in settled dis
tricts, and standard of road making
which the newly settled counties cousi
not afford to observe. The hostility of
northern Minnesota defeated one bill af
ter another, till the session of 1905, when
Mr.. Cole was chairman of the house
committee on roads and bridges. Two
or three highway commission bills We're
introduced, but they all met with the
same old objection. Finally Mr.. Cole
himself took all the bills and worked out
draft which was adopted with hardly
any change. 1t gives every safeguard
necessary to prevent wasteful expendi-
lures of state money, and at the same
time is elastic enough to permit road
making on less expensive methods for
the newly settled counties. 1t also in
sures every county share in the fund,
complied with. 1t requires economy in
administration, which will mean that
every dollar in the road and bridge fund
will 90 into actual construction of roads
and bridges.
The measure gives promise of general
satisfactions and the credit for its pas.
sage is due to the republican nominee
for governor, more than any one man. In
his public life A. l.. Cole has been
man who does things.

We went one year ago today
To Grandma Buffers party,
And helped her celebrate the day
And cheered her good and hearty.
The days had rolled by, one by one
Until she was ninetyfour,
The oldest person in the town.
Now she counts on one year more.
Ninety-fve! And small and trim
She moves across the floor,
Or sitting in her old arm chair,
Counts her blessings DER.
She loves the peace and quiet
Of her daughters home we know
Grown ups and little children
She sees them come and 90.
We're glad you have your children
To care for you so well,
And grand children to love you
And great grandchildren, who can tell
How many is the number
OF great great -grandchildren-se
If any one can tell us,
How many now there be?
The mother of nine children;
Six are alive-no more,
And their united ages
Count up three hundred eighty-four
Grandchildren number thirty eight,
Great grandchildren one hundred and
And great great grandchildren
Count up twenty more,
One hundred and sixty eight,
AS we count your descendants DER.
In eighteen hundred and eleven,
Ninetyfive years ago,
You were born in New Jersey state,
Then New York was your home fos
years we know,
Then TO Jennings, Indiana,
In eighteen thirty six you came,
Living in that dear old home
Far over fifty years the same.
Then came to Minnesota
In eighteen hundred and eighty eight,
You made your home among us
In this western state.
You can thank your Heavenly Father,
Who has brought you all the way
And filled your life with blessings
Until the close of day.
Now scattered all over the United
States,
North, south, east and west,
Each relative claims portion
OF the love that is the best
And wishes for you all blessings
Until your life is done,
And you reach the home immortal
With your crown of glory won.
