BRING ON The AERopLaNEs.

It might be we'll to call attention
once again ito the fact that just now
and for a few years past history has
been INDUCING in rapid transit. The
latest event that marks period is the
flight of a Frenchman across the Eng
fish channel launched from cliff to cliff
as on the wings of an eagle. The right
little tight little island has lost its
peculiar intrenchment. The seas no
longer guard her and render her in
vulnerable With all her rejoicing and
enthusiasm over the successful bird
flight she has added another terror to
the future. 1t may be confidently pre-
sumed that the Frenchmans feat is but
a promise to the near future. If one
man may fly into England across the
protecting channel he has sown Cad
maean crop that may fill the sky with
the swift sailing armies of invasion.
NO great strain of the imag ination is
required to see the peaceful expert
mentor supplanted by regiments swoop-
ing across the channel and STOPPING

THE NARROW PUBLIC ROAD.

l1ui iilSl 1dZelle
In some sections of thes state Of
Iowa the people are beginning to
reduce the width of the country roads.
To be sure it looked progressive and
generous and what not to establish
roads a hundred and even more feet
in width. When it came to making
these roads passable or just to keep
ing down the weeds that flourished in
these roads and that blew their seeds
into the adjoining fields, the PROPOSE
ton assumed a different aspect. BY
and by the price of farm lands began
to advance by leaps and bounds and
the farmers began to wonder why that
valuable ground should be left unoc-
cupied and unused. And when they
did get out to improve the roads they
began to see the impossibility of i'm
proving and keeping in condition their
unnecessarily wide roads, and now
they are cutting country roads down
to fifty feet. And that is plenty. In
many of the cities of the state there
are paved streets that are much very
much narrower, and that, in addition
to much other traffic, accommodate a
street railway. The narrower the
country roads are, the easier will they
be improved and kept in repair and
the cheaper will the Improvement and
the repairs be. There is no road in
Iowa, no general rural road, that needs
to be more than fifty feet wide, and
by and by there will be none of a
greater width. For it is better to
grow corn and pumpkins and beans
and potatoes on a we'll titled field, than
to grow cookie burrs and all sorts of
other weeds on an ugly ill-kempt
country road, and then have the seed
from the weeds blown into the WELL
kept fields.

waited for Chance to switch his plan Of

before the Champions, made desperate,

Bresnahan changed on every batter,
out guessing them all the time.
Ut was just like men matching heads
and tails, each manager sticking to his
own plan, Bresnahan turning heads
every time and Chance tails, each ex-
pecting the other to change"
