Need of Good Roads.

The awakening of the country to
the need of good roads has just be-
gun. The next few years will see
some rapid strides in this matter. Two
of the most potent factors IN the
present awakening are the automo-
bile and rural free delivery.
The transcontinental automobile
race, which was pulled off last sum-
mer, resulted in the accumulation OF
much valuable information as to the
road conditions between New York
city and Portland, Oregon. The two
acknowledgements runabouts which
contested made the distance of 1000
miles in A days, demonstrating the
feasibility Of the automobile as a
means of long-distance transportation.
The finish of the race was made in
Portland in time for the national good
roads convention.

He is THE TALLEsT SOLDIER.
Lieutenant In kaiser's Bodyguard Is
Over Seven Feet Tall.

Over Seven Feet Tall.
Undoubtedly the tallest soldier in
the world is Josef Handel, who has
recently been made lieutenant in the
kaiser's famous bodyguard. During
the past year and before he became
soldier he was exhibited under the
simple name of der LANCE JOSEF in
the Berlin Panopjtikon and other
places Of interest in the large cities
of Germany as the tallest youth on
earth, a distinction to which he is
easily entitled, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Handel is not % years old, yet he
stands feet inches in his stockings.
Though he was earning a big salary
he did not hesitate moment when
the kaiser called him to his body
guard in Potsdam. He would never
have been given the honor If the kali
ser's physicians had not pronounced
him perfectly proportioned physically
and of sound health. A remarkable
fact is that Handlers parents, who
live In Leipzig, are people of ordinary
size, as are also his brothers and Sis
tiers, of whom there are seven. Handel
makes picturesque figure in his
guard uniform and the high helmet
makes him look veritable Goliath.
Frederick the Great would have given
his BEST pipe to have added such a
giant to his guard Of tall soldiers.

the woman who drank her tea with

RUTLAND. Vt, Nov. 20.-The last of all the widows of veterans of the war of the revolution. Mrs. Esther Damon. died recently at her home ip Plymouth Union, Windsor county. She was 92 years old. Charles Sum- ner was her cousin.
 She was born long after tae war for independence in the little crossroads hamlet in which she died. Tho iase of her birth was August 1, 1874.

He could remember George Washington and battle fields and incidents of the great struggle for independence, but he could also let his young wife support him. and she did.

Some of the sacred fires of InCia have been burning for twelve ceu- turtles and promise to continue to send forth cheerful glow as long as the man who pays for the fuel is willing to keep putting up the price.
 That is a long time to keep fire so- ing in one spot. and the janitor who wheels out the ashes must have quite pile in the back lot by this time. but think what snap it would be to have a fireman like that about the place during the cold winter evenings.

THE ERECTION OF
 STATE REPRESENTATIVES.

Our present system of electi1g state representatives as prescribed by the constitution is one of the failures of political reform 1t was designed to give all of the. people free play in getting representation in the state legislature. It has resulted in sivng a greater preponderance of influence to those men in the two leading po- litcai parties who control the nomina- tions than they could otherwise have obtained.
 Of late there has been an attemp; 10 secure a reform in the manner in which the system Is worked. It has bcea 9 fafscre. and if WIS indeed doomed to be a failure from the start It is requiring too much of the two parties which elect the great bulk of the representatives to ask them tc nominate in each district more candi- dates than they feel they have good chance to eiecs.
