Tho Mud Tax.

The Mud Tax.
We wish our readers would take a
little time, eyen II the work is very
pressing just now, and figure up how
much they have lost through their
inability to take advantage OF Patterns
corner on wheat; how much through
not being able to market other grain;
how much more 1t has cost them, II
they did market 1t; how much extra
wear there has been IN horses. harness
and wagons; how much needless veal
on clothing; how much worry over
being obliged to travel over these bad
roads. This Is part Of mud tax that
you have paid and will continue to
pay until dry weather comes and the
roads are smoothed down. You will
continue to pay it every spring and
fall, year in and year out until we
have good roads.
Di1icult as It IS to figure up or even
estimate the mud tax, 1t is not nearly
so dificult Is TO know how to avoid
paying II Ia the future. This
difnculty varies In different sections.
In the eastern states, where there are
large cities and where the laws spread
the road tax to q certain extent over
the entire community, and especially
where road making material is avail
ablo, the problem is not SO difficult,
and ret We have known many prob
lemssthat were much easier Of solu-
tion.
It Is an entirely different PROPOSE
tion where the cities and towns are
small, where the country Is large,
whore the land In the road Is rich In
vegetable matter, and whore the
great bulk Of cost OF maintenance Of
the roads depends on the farmers, and
particularly whore there Is no available
road material except just plain mud
or dirt. Nevertheless, this mud tax
can b decreased materially even In
these purely agricultural districts,
whore the mud In the road suggests
money . well 6 misery. For, speak
ing agriculturally, these three seem
TO 60 togeathsr-mud, money, and
MISERY'S jos Trigg used to say.
III We are asked how It Is to be
avoided, We have no different answer
to make than the one we have been
giving for several years: First, drain
your roads. The mat vino objects
70 having : tile run through his farm
ia order 20 drain ! swamp yer which

The man Who objects to making .

The man who refuses TO make q drag
and smooth down the roads while the
mudh ret plastic, In order that the
windS may blow over 1t and 50 that
tho rains that fall can pass swiftly In
70 the aide ditch, Is not deserving of
any compassion during muddy and
rough roads.
Plainly, the farmers In the agricul-
tural sections must take up this road
problem for themselves, work to-

can, which for the present Is todrain

Our first railway experience in
Italy was not altogether pleasant.
We did not travel in a train de
luxe; the train dispatcher, with
out much dispatch, however,)
rang a bell that sounded like a
school-bell, whereupon the en-
CINE pulled itself off with almost
audible groans. There were fire.
quent and long stops, and it took
us between six and seven hours
to reach Rome. The weather
was torrid, and water not to be
had. Mary declared that "See
Naples and die" had new mean
ing to her, for she felt that she'd
never live to see Rome. But she
did, and so did the rest of us.
Despite the heat, we had to adj
mire the lovely country through
which we were passing, where
every prominent crag held
monastery or a castle, and every
inch of ground was cultivated.
Grapevines, olive-trees and small
farms and gardens were close to
the railway route; while pictures
que, rocky hills rose as back
ground, with, here and there, the
CLEAN of lake like it of blue
sky. GATHERINGS trouble was that
she couldn't see both sides at
once. Aunt Margaret told us all
about Monte Casino, as we pass
ed the little town at the foot of
the mountain which is crowned
with the great monastery found
ed by St. Benedict, and Mary
quoted Longfellow's lines written
at Monte Casino:
And there, uplifted, like passing
cloud
That pauses on a mountain
summit high,
Monte Casinos convent rears it's
proud
And venerable walls against
the sky.
Well I remember how on foot I
climbed
The stony pathway leading to
its gate;
Above, the convent bells for YES
pers chimed,
Below, the darkening town
grew desolate.

At once Padre Bernardo came.
He had come up from the desert
that very day to say Mass in the
chapel on the ranch. While the
priest ministered to him, the men
retired, instinctively doffing their
hats regardless of their belief.
Meantime Tomas had taken Juan
Andres horse to ride for doctor.
How he rode those five miles to
San .Jacinto! The horse seemed
to understand when Tomas cried:
Easter, for Juan's sakew but to
no avail. Don Manuel went to
the chapel for the holy oils with
which Padre Bernardo would
anoint Juan. Juan Andres con-
fession was brief: time was short
and he had received Holy Com
munion when Dolores died. Now
the Indian committed to the
priest secret which he had
guarded many days-a legacy
from Dolores. The doctor came.
What do you think, loctor?"
asked Juan, who, turning at once
to the priest, answered his own
question: Father, ] am going
very soon to my wife. But who
will care for my boy Juanito?"
81 WILL" said the priest unhesi-
tatingly.
mo: /" pleaded Don Manuel.
Juan Andres smiled and an
swered feebly: "You both, Father
dear and dear friend,-one for the
body, the other for the soul. And
whispering: "Juanito, adios! Do
lores, I-am-coming!" he SEEM
ed to sigh-but the Indian never
sighs,-and he was dead.
They laid his body to rest be-
side that of Dolores in Soboda.
And for his soul even rough
ranchers dropped a tear and
prayer. Juanito found a home
where he is companion and broth
err to Carlos. Years have passed
since it was so, and Padre Ber-
nardo is happy and hopeful. He
dreams of Juanito as his successor
among the Indians with whom he
has labored forty long years. But
the priest guards the secret still,
even though Juanito, of his own
accord, has told it to him, too.
He watches and prays as did Do
lores from the time when in So
boda chapel she dedicated her
baby boy, and on her deathbed
she committed the secret as a
sacred legacy to Juan Andres.
Her prayer, which seems about
to be fulfilled, was that the boys
soul might. be kept pure; his body

spark from passing locomotive
fell on the thick fox-tail grass. At
once the twenty workmen realiz-
ed the danger that threatened
from the strong wind which was
blowing in the direction of the
bayfield,. They fastened with
wet grain-sacks to extinguish the
flames. But too late: already the
stubble had caught. The cut hay
was catching,-the fire must soon
reach the standing grain. How
it cracked! How it roared and
ran! None worked harder than
Juan Andres. Alone he fought
and nearly conquered long line
of burning grass; meantime the
others had gone to start back
fire in order to cut a wide swath
which the main fire could not
leap.
While he was left alone, the In
dian heard the sharp crack of
rifle. 1t was the gun that Tomas
had left on a pile of hay to shoot
the rabbits started by the reapers.
Juan Andres now remembered
that Carlos-little four-year-old
Carlos,-the youngest son of Don
Manuel, must still be sleeping
near by, where he had laid him,
when, weary from following the
horses round and round, the child
had lain down almost in his own
tracks. How tenderly he had
handled him! AS if he were his
own Juanito, as no man but a
widowed father can. And over
the child's head, to shield him
from the hot rays of the sun, he
had put his own coat hung upon
pitchfork. Fire now surround
ed the child on all sides; should
he waken in fear, into the flames
he must plunge.
'Jesus! Maria!" exclaimed the
Indian, dashing into the fiery vor-
tex. lie grabbed up the child,
who was now fully awakened,
and standing bewildered by the
noise and the heat and the light.
Toward the circle of flame the In
dian carried him; the smoke was
sitting, binding. On he went.
When, bark! A loud report was
heard by the fre-fghters. Look
ing, they saw Juan Andres stag
ger through the flame and fall.
They lifted him up quickly but
tenderly. Carlos was safe, but the
Indian was MORALLY wounded.
Both barrels of shotgun had
been exploded by the heat and
the charge had struck the brave
Indian in the back. Into the
shade of the old adobe barn they

Your assertion that " owed its origin

she could duplicate it for 81. and you do

The mention Of steamer hats sta rrs
a food Of "Reminiscences. A member Of the
corps recalls wildly that she came over
when she was 5. but she doesn't remember
what they wore then. Another goes poking
about among the multiplicity Of boxes

they have sold hundreds Of them for

later by saying that she is a new hand
and Us In her first place.
She is very anxious in a nice, ladylike
way that you should help her to make

to assure herself Of the permanency OF
her job.

she says rather sadly, "but I've got three

You mildly suggest at this point OF the
monologue that as you started u tC

housekeeping. but your objections il
