The Road of the Gfafter.

Reader.
 The road of the grafter Is not an easy one. The temptation to graft is insidious, and men who mean to conduct themselves with honesty and dignity may be betrayed into it. "Modern business methods" is sufficiently euphonious term to fool d brisk and ambitious man not too much given to reflections or self examnation. And all goes well for a time. The bank account increases, the man feels himself to be sherwd and influential; he is able to put his family "at the top of the heap" honors come easily to him, and young men are fatter- ed to be associated with him in business. Then, the exposure comes. Those that have trusted him know him for what he is; his own spacious plea of "the modern business method" sounds strangely inadequate even to himself. His name, which he hoped to see as sociated in the minds of men with great enterprise, and which he ex- pected his sons to use as a sort of "open sesame, becomes, sudden ly, the synonym for dishonesty, greed and failure. The grafter has, perhaps, thought himself hardened. He finds, to his dismay, that he Is not. Shame awakens 1; conscience no longer sleeps. The dreams of his ambitious youth come to haunt him. He would give his fortune, many times duph cated, for the innocence and integ- rity of his early manhood. He is not bad man,-he can suffer, he can be ashamed, he can long for in- noeence. Perhaps, on reflection, there are no bad men. At any rate, the grafter has shown him self capable of dying broken-heart- ed, or of going, melancholy lunatic, to the asylum for the insane. His career requires stern metal. Let him who enters it be sure that his conscience is dead, his family pride buried, his self respect quenched, and that he is obdurate to the reproachful tears of the women who love him! Having made quite, quite sure of all this, one might adopt a grating career in an expectant spirit.

they of the South CT of q e %orth-oue and all are found ready to blHrt out tn it's defense some such stirring sentiment as that used by the Mercury. It is true the words of the song are the silliest imaginable, but the melody inspiring in the extreme.
 Indeed, there Is something weird about Dixie Song writer after song writer has felt its powers, but none has been able to give in words an interpretation accepta- ble to the public. It seems as if the strains of "Dixie" are above word expression that II bears its message to men in its own Ian guage. so naturally and so directly as to dispense with the common vehicle of mere words. It is not remarkable, then, that il has caught this New England journal in it's coils and has caused its editor to issue his bold defiance of bis Yaukee readers. .-Commercial Alp peal.

One of the first moves made by the next legislature should be to amend the Road law so as to do away with road over-seerers and authorize the working of the public roads by contract. Give the County Judge power to let out sections of the roads by con tract at so much per mile, and have all free labor apportioned to the contractor who has the work nearest.their homes. The amount of labor subject to road duty, could always beconsidered in making of the contract, and the road worker could then either serve his time under the contractor or pay his money in lieu thereof. In this way better roads would be had.

PERcHED ON HORSES NECK
End of the Hen That Used Dobbin as
Roost-New Animal
Seals Fate.

Alton, IIl.-A hen with bad habit,
which had become the talk of poultry
circles at Upper Alton, H., came to
grief this week. The hen belonged to
John Cartright. She was a good layer,
cheerful sitter and successful
brooder, but she would persist in
perching upon the neck of a certain
horse in Mr. Cartrights stable at night.
The horse rather enjoyed the novel
sensation of having a hen on its neck
at first. 1t was a distinction which
gave Dobbin chance to put on airs
among her equine friends. But in time
the experience grew monotonous
When night came in would walk Bi1dy
and proceed to appropriate her Gus
tomary seat on the horses bony neck.
Dobbin was moved to another stall.
but Biddy followed him
One night, however. a strange horse.
which had not been accustomed to hav-
ing its neck used for a chicken roost,
was placed in Dobbin's stall. The old
hen came in, looked anxio sly around
for Dobtin, and as he was nowhere in
sight, flew to the neck of the strange
horse The latter gave an up-to-date
imitation of bucking cayuse. The
next day was Biddy's last.

influential Churchill connection: THE
Churchill family, for the first time in
its history, is rent In twain: the duke
OF Marlborough, the duchess, his
aunts, the Countess Howe, the dowager
duchess OF Roxbxurghe, Lady Sarah
Wilson, Lady de Ramsay and their
families are on the side of protection,
while Winston Churchill, his mother,
and the other aunt, Lady Winborne,
and her family are uncompromisingly

1t may be of interest to hear little
of the back talk" English political
opponents use in their campaign ora
tory. Mr.. Chamberlain In one of his
speeches waxed more than usually sar-
castle, ironically referred to the "efful-
gent blaze of this new government of
all the talents and all the virtues In
another speech the apostle of protec-
ton got himself into trouble, entered
into losing debate with the sturdy
labor leader, John Burns.
Rowdyism Is a marked feature of
the political meetings; and no matter
how high the position of the speaker
addressing an audience in a campaign
fight, there may be such heckling-a
term borrowed from the Scotch--he
cannot make himself heard. During
the recent contest. both the prime
minister and MIR. Balfour were some
times met with uproar of sucn might
as TO make it most difficult for them
to proceed. When Mr.. Balfour stepped
out on the platform one night at Man
chester the hecklers began with fire
of questions. Listen to his speech
they would not, so he good-naturedly
gave IN and for once was witnessed
the rare spectacle of hot converse
tionai duel between the horny handed
sons Of toll and the polished aristo-
crat, which ended by the latter appeal
ing for fairness at the hands of his
opponents. I have served you 20
years. he said. Then now you deserve

The French peasant who, sind

France into kind of walled
