ative difficulty Of having good roads
in the country makes the difference
existing today between the progress
siveness Of town and country. Trade
relations, social relations, moral rela-
tions, and intellectual relations must
be stimulated and developed to make
an enlightened people. Give Us good
roads and there Is nothing surer than
that we shall soon have good schools
in the country and with good schools
and good roads, good people will flock
to the country, as they are now do
ing to the town. The county that has
a good superintendent Of education
and a good supervisor Of roads, will
as certainly have good farmers as life
follows light.
1t Is encouraging, indeed, to see the
great awakening in reference to the
needs of country life-that Is, taking
hold Of the American mind everywhere,
and grateful are we that the expires
ident of the nation has given as one
Of his last earnest words to congress-.
In a message, most forceful express
sion Of the nations anxiety that coun-
try life should have as great attrac-
tions for our most worthy people az
city life and 1t will be to the advan-
tage Of every resident in the country.
and especially to the teachers. In the
rural schools, to devote earnest study
not only to this magnificent message,
but to the edifying report Of the COM
mission on which 1t is based. It Is
the high privilege Of true patriots to
look for fields Of greatest usefulness
in the nations development, at every
period Of its history and certainly the
industrial field is the inviting place
for patriotic effort today. And as all
faithful service, to be most efficient,
must carry with 1t the elements Of
sacrifice, let US not wait until rural
life charms us with its attractions, to
begin the work Of rural school ad-
vancement; but now, while the needs
are the sorest and the hardships are
the greatest, let us enter into this
work, with earnest and persevering
labors for its betterment, IL we would
enjoy the highest privileges Of patri-
otic service.

The greatest organizer Of railroads
the world has ever known, died at his
magnificent home at Arden, N. Y.
yesterday afternoon at 1.S0 o'clock
Because Of the effect it was known
his death would have on the stocks OF
the thousands Of miles of railroad con-
trolled by him, the news Of his death
was suppressed until after the close OF
the stock exchange. Mr.. Harrimans
health had been factor in the stock
market since his return from Europe
and the extent to which his death may
have been discounted will develop la
ter. Mr. Hartman worked his way UP
in the railroad world from the bottom
and his wealth aggregates many mil
lions.

spirit after-ahem! the unpleasant af-
fair of the morning"
For years after Paulette could never
recall this night but with shudders-
the staring crowd, the hot air, the
lights, the whirlwind Of sweet sounds
from the orchestra, and, above all, the
Jupiter front Of the old aristocrat in
Varneck's seat, seen, as through a
glass, darkly.
1t was in the last act. Haggard and
deadly white, except for the spots OF
rouge on her cheeks, she had gone on
merrily, brilliantly, with her part
played it out almost to the bitter end
The electrified house could not but
applaud. Generous and hearty broke
out the voice Of the audience, and now
no Kisses mingled with it. She came
forward and stood before the foot
lights-pressed close up to their spurt-
ing jets like a daring little moth, her
dizzy eyes seeing nothing-all things
swimming together before her sight
AS she stood thus, the lights flickered
suddenly in a draught of air-a little
serpent-shape of fire leaped up and
fastened it's red tooth in the hem OF
her garment. The next moment Pau
lette was wrapped from head to foot
in a sheet Of flame.
"Merciful God, save her!" shrieked
n hundred yOiceS
UP leaped the audience en- masse
but the first to reach Paulette was the
Jupiter fronted figure from the or
chestra chair. He sprang upon the
stage with his heavy cloak in his hand
The roof that had not ceased to echo
the applause Of a moment before rang
now with frightened cries. Through
a veil of smoke and fire Paulette saw
the bronzed face with the white mus
tache, and felt his arms clasping her
tearing her draperies away, smother
ing and binding her in the great cloak
with the fur lining. Rolled therein, as
in a chrysalis, she stood, while he
squeezed out in it's hoary folds the hot
flames; then, snatching her like child
to his breast, he ran into the green
room. The curtain fell.

In conclusion, Mr.. Hester says the
facts concerning this remarkable year
in cotton consumption speak for
themselves, but 1t is safe to say that
had they been estimates instead of
plain. unvarnished truths, even extre-
mists would have been justified in
chasing them as exaggerations.
In the south he says, I'VE have
brushed 100000 bales closely during
the past year, and this close on the
heels of the panic, with 215 out of a
total of 7S6 mills from one to two
months late in getting under headway.
Most of the new, not complete spin
dies will be in working order before
the coming years close, and with these
on the basis of the 1904-05 consump-
ton per spindle, the capacity Of the
southern mills will be something like
100000 to 100000 bales"

sus report can not give the real value
Of sheep. Outside of the value of
sheep as producers Of meat and wool,
there is a benefit conferred by them to
land. Pastures occupied by sheep be-
come richer every year, and bushes,
weeds and briars, which so readily
grow where they are not desired, are
kept down by sheep and their places
occupied by grass. The poorest kind
of land, If given up to sheep, even If
it is necessary to allow feed to them,
will be made productive in a few
years.

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT FOR THE
SENATE.

Among the interesting possibilities
of 1911 is the appearance of both
Roosevelt and Bryan in the United
States senate. Sounded, the other
day, at Chicago as to his willingness
in the matter, Mr.. Bryan very clearly
indicated that such a service would
not be distasteful to him. AS for
Roosevelt, he has said nothing in
public with reference to the senator
ship for himself, but his friends in
New York and elsewhere have noted
that he will, according TO the present
program, return to this country from
his trip abroad about the time of the
expiration of Senator Depew. OF
course, to bring these two men to-
gether in the senate, New York would
need TO remain Republican, which is
likely, and Nebraska would need to
go Democratic, which is possible.
Whatever one may think of either or
both of these men, all are bound to
admit that there is in the immediate
future no more interesting political
possibility than their addition to the
forces of the United States senate.

BURIAL Of SEDDENS
At THE INFIRMARY

1t is likely that the body of William
Seddens, found dead at the city prison
a week ago, will be buried at the
county infirmary. His wife has re-
turned to Columbus, she being in such
circumstances that she could not stand
the expense of the funeral. For years
past burial in such cases have been at
the expense of the county. The in
terments usually took place at West
lawn cemetery, single burial places
being bought by the board of infrmary
directors. Since Director Correll has
taken his seat it is likely that a
change will be made, as he does not
believe in giving these people burial
in the cemetery at public expense,
while people who died at the county
infirmaTy must be buried at that insti-
tuition. Correll says that many of the
people who die at the infirmary were
former taxpayers in the county and if
the infirmary ground is good enough
for their bodies it is certainly good
enough for strangers who die in our
midst

Doesn't this cry come bit late?
