TELL IT TO THE MARINES.
Now Famous Phrase First Used by
Charles the Second.

Now Famous Phrase First Used by
Charles the Second.
| The saying Tell 1t to the marines"
Is traced to Pepys, the author Of the
famous DIARY" and Il Is said by him
to have originated with Charles ii. of
England. 1t so befell, as the story
goes, that his llght-hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolllng In
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty.

who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever I think l did hear
In my life" Among the stories told
were of fish flying in the air. Fish
flying in the air." exclaimed his mai
esty. "Ha! ha! quaint conceit,
which 'twere too good to spoil WI
keeping! What no! sir"-he turned
and beckoned the colonel, Sir William
Killigrew of the newly raised mari
time regiment on foot, who was fol-
lowing In close conversation with the
duke Of York-"We would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
element. What say you, colonel, to
man who swears he hath seen fishes
fly In the air."
az should say. sir returned the
sea soldier simply, that the man hath
sailed In southern seas. For when
your majesty's business carried me
thither of late l did frequently observe
more flying fish in one hour than the
hairs OF my head in number
His majesty glanced narrowly at
the coloners frank, weatherbeaten
face. Then with a laugh he turned to
the secretary.
"'Mr. Pepys,' said he, from the
very nature Of their calling no class of
our subjects can have so wide knowl-
edge of seas and lands as the officers
and men of our loyal maritime regi-
ment. Henceforth ere ever we cast
doubts upon a tale that lacketh lIkeli-
hood we will first tell 1t to the ma
rines,'"

GOOD ROADS.

Touching upon the good roads "
idea, the National Live Stock Reporter
says: "There is no greater civilizer
than al improved highway. There is
no greater pioneer than the improver
of a highway, or one who blazes trail
or shows the way of transportation
into new country or resources or
opens up new territory or shortens
the travelling time between two points.
After Columbus showed the way to
the new world there we're other fol-
lowers and still Others for centuries
without making any material reduc-
tion in the travelling time between the
old world and the new. 1t took CEN
utries to shorten the days OF travel
across the Atlantic ocean, and II was
not until transportation between u e
two countries was made easier and
quicker that developments OF perma-
nent value were made. After tie
transportation problem had been
solved, America began to be. Even
after the country had become fairly
we'll settled, and internal strife had
been practically eliminated, it took
days il not weeks TO communicate
with the remote parts OF the early
Colonial country. 1t was big step in
the right direction when the national
government lent its aid TO the build
ing Of national highway. lt was
big step when later the states lent
within their own borders 1t is still
bigger and more important step for
the entire country when bands Of
steel bind remote districts together,
and after all these years it would
seem, with all the miles upon miles OF
railroad track, improved highways and
country roads, that the transportation
problem has been practically solved.
And yet there are districts in many
sections OF the country where the
transportation problem is burning
one. 1t is not enough that main
travelled road connect one town or city
with another in the rural sections Of
the country, 1t is not enough that
these highways furnish means Of
transportion for the farmer and the
other vehicle users Of the country, but
the time should be when every cross
road should be an improved road. The
time should come when all the legisla-
lures Of our states should furnish
means and methods for the improve
ment Of every roadway in every town.
ship, county and state in this country.
Better roads mean better homes Bet
ter homes mean higher ideals. Higher
ideals mean equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. There has
been some, In fact, considerable i'm
provement In our road-ways the past
few years, but in most cases the i'm
provsments have not been permanent,
and money has been wasted This
problem should be solved with fore
sight, Improvements should not be

THE FIRE Is NEVER OUT IN A
COLES ORIGINAL HOT
BLAST STOVE

The comfort of getting up in the
morning and dressing in a warm
room is one of the agreeable features
in the possession of Coles original
Hot Blast stove. The fire is never
out in this remarkable stove from
the time it is set up in the fall until
taken down in spring, and the rooms
can be kept warm all night and for
two or three hours in the morning
with the fuel put in the stove the
night before.
Just think what this means for
the promotion of health. Sickness
usually starts from a cold con
tracted in an unevenly heated house.
Where the home can be evenly
heated day and night colds are only
a memory, and much sickness is thus
prevented. Health, comfort, con
venience and economy all go with
the purchase of Coles Original
Hot Blast. Investigate to-day.

ABOUT THAT GRAPE BAND.
MORNING Symbol Out Of Place on the
Arms Of Gentlemen.

1t is astonishing how many persons,
both men and women, who give every
other indication of culture and refine
meat, are seen on the streets nova
day wearing Grape bands on their coat
sic ,e5, says the New FORK Herald.
This form of mourning was originally
a military one, the British officers cap,
with It's ridiculously low crown, not
admitting of a band. When he boosted
Il decoration the medal also was GOV.
cred with crepe.
From the military the sleeve band
descended to the coachman and foot
man, and has long been the recognized
servants mourning when there was a
death in the masters family. Then
the costermougcrs adopted il because
1t was cheap. When one OF 'Arry's
friends dies the purchase of a black
coat is out of the question, so he puts
the band of Grape around the sleeve of
his old coat and let's 1t go at that.
The well-to-do New Yorker who un.
Willingly adopts this custom is first

a coat of arms and picks out one with
bar sinister because he thinks 1t

Despite the fact that the great post

Congress" to be held at Denver this
month contain the name of w. NJ.
Jardine, of the Agricultural College
Of Utah, as one to appear ON the pro-
gram, the Deseret Farmer makes no
mention OF him at all and states that
"Dr. John A. Widtsoc has been in.
vited to give the principal address
from this state" Dr. Widtsoe's name
has not yet appeared in any OF the
official announcements OF the program
received at this office, and Mr.. jar
dimes name is there hence the Farm
er's statement seems just little
strange There Is no discounting DR..
Widtsoe's ability, and for the benefit
of the congress 1t is to be hoped that
he will appear on the program, but
this attempt of the Farmer to exalt
him at the expense of another Is txss
tremely petty; DR.. Widtsoe doesn't
need such efforts in his behalf, and we
are charitable enough to halfway be-
lieve that he doesn't quite sanction II.
