Hit Him With a SNOWFALL,

There are various ways of getting a
husband. Some advertise and take
their pick at their leisure, while others
purchase complete assortment OF
complexion at the drug store and try
their best to make a noise like an heir
ess.
A Chicago girl has just married a
man she got acquainted with last win
ter by hitting him with SNOWFALL.
That is much better way than to
wait until after marriage and then be-
gin throwing bottles and tlatirons at
him. Before marriage a man may
think it is real cunning to get pasted
on the ear with soft bunch Of snow
by pretty girl, but after he has her
secure such things are apt to make him
grouchy.
Little dill the girl know what she
was doing when she tossed the white
ball at a passing man, and she was
probably scared to death when she
saw that it hit him, and if she was
throwing at Il COW on the other side of
the street, which is more than likely
she will wait year or two before tell
ing him.

What Good Roads Cost.

Interesting facts as to the cost or
main road maintenance in the county
Of Yorkshire England, are sent by
Consul Walter G. Hamm Of Hull. The
roads were well constructed originally
and are we'll cared for now. 1t is IL
rare sight to see a rutty or muddy
country road in the neighborhood. Most
all Of them are macadamized, well
drained and kept in good repair. AS a
consequence one horse can draw load
which would require two or three
horses over the usual country road in
America There are about LOO miles
of road in the county, and the cost of
the roads has increased from $134,0OO
in 1895 to 100000 in 1906, and the cost
per mile from $G54 to 1892 in the same
period. There is constant tendency
to increase in the cost of maintenance,
but this increase is in part accounted
for by the construction of footpathS
and the placing of granite sets to
protect the roads from injury by troll
ley lines.

Share the Expense.

If one county cannot afford to en-
ploy an engineer, let two or three
counties share the expense and the
benefits, says the director of the Unit
ed States office of public roads. Under
this engineers immediate jurisdiction
should be placed number of skilled
road supervisors or road overseerS
each to have a given territory fol
which he should be responsible. III

Build For Permanency.

Land and property, said speaker at

in proportion to their accessibility to
market or pleasure, and whatever adds
to the accessibility enhances values.
The history of the country, he stated,
bore witness to the most useless and
wasteful extravaganza in the use of
money and labor on its highways, and
the lesson to be learned was to build
as did the ancients, for permanency
and with the utmost care and thought
for the future.
