How Judge of Maiben, Miss, Ties

Judge Norman Moore, the rhyming
jurist, now mayor of Maiben, perform
ed in verse the ceremony that made
James Davis and Bette johnson man
and wife. The exact words were:
Jim. will you take Bet
Without regret
To love and cherish
Until one Of you perish
And is laid under sod,
SO help you God?
The bridegroom replied In the af-
firmative. Then, turning TO the bride,
Judge Moore said
Bet will you take Jim
And cling to him
Both in and out,
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart
Until death you do part?
The bride bMshed with a modest
bow OF consent, and Judge Moore dis
missed them as follows:
Through lifes alternative joy and strife,
now pronounce you man and wife
Go up lifes rugged hin
Until you both reach the level
And now salute your bride.

DIRT ROAD PROBLEM
Good Results Can be Obtained
Through Drainage System.
STAGNANT WATER AN ENEMY.

It Is One Of the Chief Evils of High
ways Of Earth-Good Road Work Of
an Illinois nstitution--Bsd Drainage
Expensive.
In the movement for good roads to
have practical results 1t is well to rec
ognize the fact that over large sections
Of the country rock or gravel roads
are. for local and economic reasons,
unattainable and even unnecessary.
Dirt roads will prevail in the more
strictly rural districts for many years
to come. possibly until aeroplanes and
dirigible balloons take the place OF
the good old farm wagon.
Therefore it will be well to look
around and try to learn from the ex-
perience of others how such roads
have been made In other countries suf-
fcient for all the needs of rural life.
what has been found to be the chief
enemy to overcome and how the con-
quest has been effected.
The one great enemy of dirt roads
is stagnant water. which, after heavy
rains, and especially in clay soils, is
unable to get away. Realizing the SOL
vent properties of water, ii is easy to
understand how destructive its con-
tinued presence is to the solidity of a
dirt road and therefore how necessary
is its removal.
1t is not only the surface water of
heavy rains or melting snow that has
to be got rid Of The action of what
science knows as "capillarity." the
constant rising of water from great
depths toward the surface, has also to
be contended with. That this natural
process is always going on is well I'M
derstood, though its causes and meth
DDS of action still form matter for de-
bate To catch and control this water
coming thus and to establish what is
known as a water plane some three or
four feet below the surface of the
ground, where it can do the most
good to vegetation, and, as sort of
side issue, the least harm to the roads,
has been sought for and found in the
modern scientific system of land drain
age.
Some time ago the use of brush filed
drains was very effective in o. section
of Illinois where the soil is much of
the nature of the Kansas gumbo. An
institution which owned a farm of 400

THE RUSSIAN PEASANT.
Stupid and Poor, Good Fellow Who
Merely Exists.

The Russian peasant does not live;
he merely exists. "Nitchevo" CIT is
nothing, he merely says when any
thing happens to him Nothing mat
tiers, nothing could be worse, and
"Nitcheyo" is his panacea for all evils.
And yet the Russian up6 * is really d
fine fellow. Ordinarily. e. Z. Kennard

Peasant he is a splendid well built
man, large limbed, large headed and
healthy. He is equally unaffected by
20 degrees of frost or twenty glasses Of
vodka He is clothed In uncured sheep
skins and carries in winter more
clothes than the average Englishman
could stand up in.
He is unspeakably stupid, however,
and his dream of happiness Is TO gorge,
TO sleep as much as possible through
the winter and dance and sing in the
summer But the strangers first OBJ
lection to the moujik is that he smells

self. AS matter of fact. in every vii
lage there are public baths-baaza-
and the peasants wash themselves
there unfailingly every Saturday in
order to be allowed to go to church on
Sunday, for the Orthodox church en-
joins cleanliness.
The Russian peasant is always poor
and generally In debt. lie plows the
land in the same way that his father
plowed it and gets as little for his la

pay the governors taxes. If he says
he cannot pay he is fiogged, or perhaps
he will sell part of his next years

On Christmas night at dusk the mar
riageable village girls go out into the
streets and meet their young men, and
one says, what Is your name?" The
young man answers "Foma," and she
replies, MY husbands name is Foma."
Some days later at the girls home

The rate OF gain In wealth as the
farmers increase in age win be q gen.
eral index to the proftableness Of
farming as an occupation In different
sections Of the country.
The question of tenure, from many
standpoints. is one of the most inter
esting on the schedule. The three
principal tenuTes are owner, cash ten
ant and share tenant Formerly the
decrease in number of owners and the
Increase In number of tenants were de-
plored by many writers as an indica-
ton that farm lands were passing into
the hands of capitalists and that ten
ants had eorrespondingly less oppor-
tunity Of becoming farm owners. The
constant relative increase in the num-
Der of tenants Is now believed to indi-
cate that steadily increasing number
of farm laborers are rising through
farm tenancy to farm ownership and
that a growing number of farm own
ers become independent in later life
and retire from active management.
In other words. tenancy is regarded as
the stepping stone whereby young
farm laborers ultimately become farm
owners

Mr. O'Connor said the problem of the
congested districts was still serious
one and probably the improvement in
this regard is not so great.
Mr. O'Connor said he noticed some
new Dreadnoughts among New York's
tall buildings.
He went into the involved question
of the land act and explained how
they were attempting to adjust its
financial difficulties and how some
lands were bought not sold" He
said he could not see how the house
of lords would be so foolish as to
throw out the budget when that action
would give the Irish party such a
