be some progressive road move
ment in keeping with the pro-
gress Of our county.
Our roads are in bad shape, =
in places they are too narrow
for vehicles to pass, in places
they are unreasonably crooked, :,
other places unnecessarily steep,
and in many places rugged and
strewn with loose rocks. While
the majority of our clay roads
are not sufficiently drained, the
center or middle of the roads
often serving the purpose Of a
ditch or drain to convey the
water off from large fields that
have been cleared along them.
The mud holes in places are not
filled up from year to year and
the travelling public often has to
travel for miles out of the way
to get decent road to market
or to church.
This is a deplorable condition
for the roads of Lancaster county
and it is now time her citizens
were devising some plan to get
out of the mud.
AS our citizens become betteried-
ucated we will have better roads,
but this is too slow process to
meet the present demand of the
travelling public.
AS one might expect, you will
generally find good roads where
there is flourishing school and
a friendly and unselfish commu
nifty, and bad roads where edu-
cation is not looked after and
where selfishness and ill will
rules the hearts of our people.
One good man in any commu-
nifty who is public spirited may
do a great deal toward getting
better roads if he will only exert
himself and keep on the good
side of his best neighbors, while
a careless or selfish man may pay
of duty or in other ways do much
towards retarding the progress of
the road work in his communi
ty.
L want to encourage every man
who is interested in our roads to
put forth little extra effort, or
work, 10 help us get better roads.
l know there are many who are
discouraged because they didn' I
get their choice for supervisor.
but we hope they will all join in
and help US all they can to get
better roads. Let u all demand

let each one of US help the su,

The General Belief In Fabulous Mon

Now that the cold light of science
has thrown it's ray upon the most re-
mote parts of our globe there is no
longer room for legendary creatures
save the sea serpent-and we are told
that the mermaid is nothing more than
a dugong, unicorn either rhinoceros
or Tibetan antelope, while the cocka-
trice, the phoenix and the roc appear
to be pure imaginations.
But In the Elizabethan AEGEAN age
when the dodo had but recently been
discovered-these and many other
mythical creatures were, If not living,
at all events actual realities to the or
binary public, and as such were refer
red to in the works of the great drama
fist and other contemporary writer's.
We meet, for instance, in the "Win-
ters Tale the line, "Make me not
sighted like the basilisk," and in 1.-THE
Tempest "Now l will believe that
there are >unicorns"' But not only was
more or less of credulity given to the
existence of these and such like fabu-
lous monsters, but web Of mystic
lore encircled the most common and
best known of beasts, birds and fishes.
Who, for instance, is forgetful Of the
popular superstitions connected with
the salamander, the newt and the
blindWorm, and who fails to remember
Whites account of the ''shrewash" at

still survive among uneducated peas

1t Is said that the time which Mozart
most willingly employed in compost
ton was the morning from 6 or Z
O'Clock until 10, his hour Of rising. Aft
er this he did no more for the rest of
the day unless he had to finish some
particular composition at given time.
He worked very irregularly. At times
he could not be drawn from an idea
which possessed him. At other times
he had a distaste for work. 1t once
happened that he put off some music
which he had engaged to furnish for a
court concert so long that he had not
time to write out the part which he
himself was to perform. The EN-
peror Joseph, who was peeping every
where, cast his eyes on the sheet from
which Mozart appeared to be playing
and was surprised to see nothing but
lines upon it.

curiously.
