says Good Roads Magazine. Many
cases are on record of where n stone
road has gone to pieces within very
short time after its completion owing
to negligence in giving the matter of
repair due attention. Experience shows
that Il road once properly built can be
maintained indefinitely by making
prompt repair as soon as weak spot
is discovered. The practice in Euro
pcan countries could we'll he followed

and attention for It's upkecp the same

of a maCalam road is too great to al
low it to 90 to pieces within year or
so and then practically rebuild it, Most
failures are due to the fact that no adc-
quate provision for repairs has been
made by the county or state Since
roads cannot take care of themselves,
they must be looked after constantly if
rebuilding is to he avoided.

The Circus and the Arab Stead.

Circuses are perhaps more to blame
for the misrepresentation of the Arab
horse than any other source. A friend
Of mine owns a circus, and I saw his
posters a few years ago claiming to ex-
hibit eighteen or twenty of the only
Arabian horses brought to America
He said they were captured with great
difficulty and brought to New York by
a special permit of the sultan; that
they were of the family known in his
tory as the eagle feather horses, so
much priced in the queen of Sheba's
days; that they were snow white, with
big markings in their spots of the tip
Of eagle feathers. We don't have to
believe everything we read on the cir
Gus posters. In this case am mighty
certain these spotted Arabians" were
bought at Albany, Ore The most pc
culiar part of this spotted horse bust
ness is this, and it is not very strange
reason when you know 1t, that spotted
anything is created by a mixture of
different races or different breeds, and
that likely accounts for the fact that
the Arabian desert in all It's history
has never produced a spotted, or pie
bald, horse, possible from the fact that
there is never any mixture of blood

Popular Approval of Theft.

The idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the mass
es of the people and never had their
cordial approval as an institution. The
most popular songs and ballads of our
nation in all ages, it may be noted,
have been those which described SYM
pathetically attacks on private proper
ty from the Robin Hood cycle to the
broad sheets in which Turpin and
Sheppard were made heroes. Even
nowadays the literature that really
touches the people, the literature that
the educated classes seldom so much
as see exposed for sale, the literature
that is sold in the small general"
shop in the back street and costs fewer
pennies than the novel we know costs
shillings, still very largely deals with
the romantic exploits of the robber
He is never a villain; he is noble and
generous to a fault, but he is con-
WINGED of the improperly of persons
