Case Of William Woods, Who Lost
Both Feet, Very Pitiful.

Special to Times-Republican
Mason City, March 25.-Misfortune
has started another pitiful beggar out
on the road. William Woods, who last
winter had his feet so badly frozen
that both had to be amputated. left
this city today to try to earn his living
by selling notions. He now walks on
little wooden slabs, fitted upon his
Bonded knees, the stumps of his legs
being as yet to tender to admit of arti-
fetal limbs. Over a year ago, Woods
fell into the Des Moines river near
Boone. 1t was bitter cold, and he was
fortunate enough to meet a farmer who
took him to town. During the drive, his
feet were terribly frozen. In Boone for
no known reason, he was placed on a
train on a cot and provided with a
ticket to this city. That. ride cost him
his feet, for when he arrived here. the
frozen members had gone uncared for
too long to admit of being saved.

Iowa Falls, March 25.-This city has
lust received a $1,000 consignment of

BOWLING EXPERTS TO TOUR.
BrookIyn's Crack Five to Play In
Many Cities.

Bowlers from all sections of the

highest possible score of 300 in his
very first game.

FINE ROAD BUILDING
Experimental Work of the Agri-

ALWAYS READY TO INSTRUCT
Government Anxious to Help Any
Community That Wishes to Improve
Its Hishways-How to Obtain As
sistance of the Department.

The Office of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture is making its
influence felt throughout the United
States, and in no place is it more con-
spicuous than in the vicinity of Wash
ington. The District of Columbia, Ma
ryland and Virginia each have some
thing to show for the work that has
been done in the way of road improve
ment, and, while comparatively little
has been accomplished in comparison
to the vast length of highways that
need improvement, there is sufficient
to form an interesting object lesson to
guide local authorities in the extension
of the good work which has been be-
gun and in which instruction has been
given by the agents of the government.
The work of road improvement was
begun by the government in compli-
ance with law directing the secretary
Of agriculture to furnish expert advice
in road building. In their effort to
comply with the law in an efficient
manner the Office of public roads has
offered to local communities through
out the United States the services of
its corps of highway engineers and ex-
perts, who are prepared to advise wit
persons in such communities as to the
best methods of construction to be en-
ployed in any locality.
Any community DESTROYS of con-
structing an object lesson road will
find the office of public roads ready to
act as instructor in the good work, but
the office has had to make plain to peo-
pie in various sections that, while it
will assist in such work, the communi-
ty itself must take it up in a substan-
tial manner The office undertakes to
provide both highway engineers and
experts, who go over the ground and
consider the questions of available ma
terials for road construction as well as
plan for the road to be built They
prepare plans with proper grades and

JOHNSON S.DESTEpS
ON JEFFRIES FIGHT
Refuses to Be Pinned Down to
Details.

Vancouver, B. c., March Ivan
couver hotel proprietors drew the
color line very strictly when Jack
Johnson, the black heavyweight cham
pion. attempted to secure accommo-
dations. Coming up from the steam
er, the colored man with his white
wife and friends went to the st. Fran
els hotel. Johnson was politely told
that the hotel was filed to overflow
ing. The fighter took the rundown
with good grace the first time, but
when it was repeated in five other
hotels he was abusive. He said very
little, but was much Disguised at the
turn of affairs. They finally obtained
accommodations at the Dominion, a
downtown hotel.
Sporting men here are inclined to
comment on Johnson's lack of def
niteness in making possible arrange
ments for a fight with Jeffries. He
invariably replied, "Oh, yes, I will
take on anybody" But when it came
to pinning down the black man to de-
tails that brought up in mind vision
of himself in the circle with the big
boilermaker, Johnson sidestepped
across the Pacific to some more or
less irrelevant story as to his treat
ment in Australia. Time and again

New York State. BY no means, how
ever, is the significance of its En-
|glish- teaching order to be measured
by these statistical details.
Should we respond to advances
from the south by giving the Spanish
tongue better place in our school
|curriculums? From trade point of
view at least this would be good pol
icy. Spanish is one of the three Ian

the other two, which are dominant
in any great proportion of new lands.
1t was spoken by 46,OO0,OOO people
in 1901, and only 1S,0OO,000 of these
were in Spain. 1t is the living, grow
ing tongue of these nations of the
|0ther Americas with which some day,
unless destiny is rogue, we shall
have interests peculiarly intimate.
German we teach in our schools to
commercial and literary purpose.
French we have as language of cul-
ture, and still, to some extent, of
diplomacy. The Pan-American call
is to a tongue which in the year 1000,
according to daring estimate, will
be that of countries having an ag-
|gregate population of 3O0,0O0,OO0
souls, or 8 per cent of the earth's
total.
