BIG LEPER COLONY.
Massachusetts Develops the Largest
One in United States.

Massachusetts Develops the Largest
One in United States.
Massachusetts, has developed the
largest leper colony in the United
States since it established a colony
for the lepers on Penikese Island,
off the Atlantic coast, a few years
ago There are eleven lepers on the
island, and two waiting for places
there. The doctor in charge expects
that the number will be a good deal
larger within ten years, and he has
asked, with the assent of the state
board of charities, that the plan of
the islands be changed from cottage
habitations for the lepers to one large
building constructed to take care of
all who may come under state con-
troll. The six cottages built a few
years ago are thus placed on the re-
tired list and the state is asked for
at least $4,000 to put up a big
building. 1t is claimed that the
lepers are able to do much of the
work, and that some of the material
may be secured on the island, which
has large crop of stone always in
sight. Cape Cod appears to be the
| leper locality of Massachusetts. Five
years ago there were no known lepers
in the commonwealth. Now there
are thirteen, and most of them were
discovered down on the Cape, or be-
cause of having been there a good
deal. The island doctor says he does
not pretend to explain why it is that
the Cape develops so much leprosy
or why this state got along so many
years without a case and then found
itself a leper hotbed suddenly.

The question of good roads is one
of vital Importance, and one that de-
mands more consideration than it
now receives in some sections. Their
stimulating influence to a community
| can hardly be exaggerated, for any
one with any knowledge of conditions
readily sees the benefits and helps
)accruing from good, well-kept roads.
! In the course of his address at the
international Good Roads Congress
in Buffalo Governor LOnginO of the
state of Mississippi remarked: Much
as we appreciate railroads, rivers and
canals as means for the tranSporta-
ton of the commerce of the country
they are, in my judgment, of less
importance to mankind, to the mass
es of the people and to all classes
of people, than are good country
roads" Statistics show that as much
as 95 per cent. of every material that
passes over railroads and canals in
the first instance passes over primary
roads. AS a chief factor in promOt-
ing and fostering commercial devel-
opment and intercourse between
communities, the value of good roads
is we'll night infinite.
The rural roads have the same re-
lation to the farmer as the well built
and regulated streets have to the
cities, and without them, just as the
city's commercial power and pros
perity is retarded, so in like manner
the country is held in restraint. 1t
seriously suffers in enterprise, wealth
and progressiveness. In this day of
unchecked progress there is just as
strong competition brought to bear
upon the farmer as upon the manu-
facturer or tradesman, and in order
for him to hold his own he must en-
JOY all present day advantages.
There are many requisites to his sue
cess. He must first have an accurate
knowledge of business methods, and
needs executive ability, with some
degree Of sagacity and ingenuity,
for there are times when in order
to realize all his products are worth
he has to make use of these quail
ties. But there is no essential to his
prosperity and happiness SO 'ndis-
pensable as that one of having good
roads He will surely be left be-
hind, as the expression runs, if he
relies too much on the ways and sys-
TENS of our fathers and fore
fathers. Their regime has had it's
day, and now must be relegated
to the rear and be supplanted by
processes more improved, intelligent
and scientific. We have only to turn
our attention to those sections which
have mouernized to appreciate what
these new methods mean in advant-
ages and superiorities. These sec
lions are of denser and more en-
lightened population, of higher NOR
ais, possess more wealth, and, in fact,
all their enterprises are more ex-
tensive and developed and lucrative
The benefits attendant on good
roads are many and various. The
natural possibilities are multiplied.
By reason of good roads the prOduc-
tive capacity of a community is sure
ly increased. With easy and ecOnom-
ical ways for marketing his goods
the farmer receives an incentive and
boost to enlarge. He finds he Sc
cures a greater profit on his goods
with a less amount of expenditure
than he did while contending with
i'll roads. He is enabled to reach
market with more ease, with less

aid says: Tricky little Cupid put
| across one of his most capricious
J pranks when Mrs Elizabeth NJ
Smith and U. G. Baumgardner, both
of Louisville, Ky, were married in
Washington at the parsonage of st.
Paul's Lutheran church.
! Mrs. Smith is nearly so years old,
and one of the wealthiest women in
/ the Blue Grass state, while her hus-
band counts "a years to his credit,
and is chef at dairy lunch in Louis
Vile. Both are we'll known in Louis
vile, and the aged bride is connected
with many of the old families of her
state.
When the news of the marriage
reached Louisville friends were
istruck almost speeches., but when
| confirmation of the report was gained
| gossip flew thick at many tea tables.
The romantic wedding of the
wealthy widow to the man young

year.
For years Mrs. Smith was a leader
in Kentucky society Her handsome
residence was the scene of many So
cial functions, though in later years
she has done little entertaining. Her
first husband was Marshall E. Maxon,
who went to Louisville years ago as
state agent for a life insurance COM
pany.
Shortly after Mrs. Maxon became
a widow, Kilbourne w Smith step
ped into her first husbands place,
both in her affections and into the
business position of her husband,
taking over the state agency for the
insurance concern.
Four years ago Mr.. Smith died,
leaving his widow an estate valued
at 100000. Mrs. Smith then closed
her palatial residence, and the great
entertainments were no more.
Only a few months ago she became
acquainted with Baumgardner. He
is tall and distinguished looking. A
strong friendship grew between
them, and of late it is said that he
had called at the Smith mansion
twice each day.
No one suspected that a marriage
was contemplated, as not the slight
est intimation had ever been given
relatives or friends.

| Good roads will as quickly as mos
any other agent cause country farms
| to enhance in value. This is a quite
apparent truth, and we need only tC
refer to records to find it's substantial
| ton. We all know when the Valua-
! ton of a piece of property is made
one of the first things considered is
its location and existing road facili-
ties to the nearest market. A farm
ten miles from a market with SPLEEN
did roads is really more valuable
than one only five miles, but having
poor, troublesome roads.
Country life is in itself one of the
pleasantest lives, but there is moth
ing that so materially bestows beauty
and attractiveness upon it as do
good roads. The commonly supposed
isolation of the country home will to
a marked degree be Obliterated, and
social life with all its merits and
virtues will be given an effectual
stimulus. And what is so useful to
any community as social intercourse?
This will tend to place country peO-
pie in a more educated plane, will
cultivate in them ease and grace and
culture, and what is so important
will dispel gloom from the homes
and bring in rays of sunshine. Their
whole moral system will receive
tendance will increase by affording
to the tired farmer the pleasure Of
riding great distances, if the case
may be, without discomfort to him
self or injury to his tired beasts
Thus we see the community will de-
rive benefits in a moral, mental,
financial and social way.
1t is hardly worth while to enum-
crate the numerous evils of bad
country roads, for they are very
self-evident. Every community needs
good roads, and until they get them
they will and cannot enjoy all their
possible pleasures and advantages.
An eminent writer says: The road
is that physical sign or symbol by
which you will best understand an
age or a people. If they have no
roads they are savage, for the road
is the creation of man and the type
of civilized society" This state
old Roman life. We all know what
master minds Rome has furnished in
the realms of art, science and lite'ra-
ture, and know that her culture and
refinement was of high type. Her
civilization was at it's zenith when
she constructed those magnificent
durable roads, connecting her with
the remotest confines of her vast en-
pires, of which we still find well pre-
served traces.
Our own American roads are far
below the average. They are among
the worst in the civilized world.
Their condition is due mainly to our
disregard to location and construc-
ton. We permit local circumstances
to govern too much, with too little
regard for any general system. What
we need is to work with a good sys-
TEN towards the ultimate end of get
I ting good roads. The country should
entrust this matter to the hands of
those who can judiciously give the
work their best efforts. 1t will take
organization, concentrated effort and
system to realize this result.
Let's all lend our efforts and give
God-speed to the good road train for

AT THE LADIES WINDOW !"
HARMLESS ROMANCE AND DIRE
TRAGEDY ARE BROUGHT
TO LIGHT.

In most of the larger postoffces
of the country is a small window
bearing the inscription, Ladies
Window, General Delivery" where
day after day thousands of letters
are turned over to the fair applicants
with no questions asked unless the
official in charge has his doubts as
to whether the one seeking a letter
has the right to it. Then the only
question generally asked is the name
of the town or place from where it
was expected To the initiated this
window gives forth different story
almost with everyone who stops
there.
Here may be seen a couple of
school girls, laughing and joking,
expecting a letter from some young
fellow to whom the home address
could not be given. Their little Sc
cret may be a harmless one, but
they are venturing upon dangerous
ground.
A woman whose face and clothing
tell the bitter struggle she is max
ing gets letter from home, the let
ter which was sent through the gen.
eral delivery because she did not
want the folks at home to know
where she could be found.
Another woman, well dressed, the
expensive furs and jewelry stamp
ing her as the wife of some pros
porous man, walks past the window
and back again, until she is sure
there is no one around to see her re-
ceive the letter written in a bold
masculine hand. She is rich enough
to rent hundred private boxes, if
necessary, but experience has taught
her that private boxes have failed
more than once, while few mistakes
are made at this window of the gen
eral delivery.
Next comes a woman with hard
set features, her eyes narrowed al
most to Sits, sizing up everyone in
that corridor. Anything the least bit
suspicious to her and she leaves to
return some time later The letter
cannot be handed out too quickly.
Her story is easily read. Someone
dear to her is in trouble. The police
are watching her home, the postal
officials have been instructed to in
tercept any mail directed to her, and
so she has learned that any other
name will do. and that the general
delivery window is the last channel
through which she can be kept in
formed of the troubled ones move
ments.
So they come and go. The young
woman who has eloped, the young
girl with a harmless Irritation, the
mother who has made the fatal mis-
take, the daughter to whom the gayer
side of life appeals, the maid or the
matron, each with her own reason
for not having her mail sent to her
home address
Some read the letters in Sc
Guided corner of that large building
where their contents bring forth
peals of laughter, or sudden, sharp
cries of pain. Others read them as
they walk along the street, finally
to place them in some secure hiding
place, or tear them up in the most
minute pieces, throwing them away
at long intervals so that no one could
ever recover the telltale fragments

COL. ROBERTSON, EDITOR OF
YAKIMA REPUBLIC, HAS BET
TER IDEA OF WENATCHEE
VALLEY SINCE RECENT TRIP.

Col. w. w. Robertson, publisher
of the Yakima Daily Republic, made
trip to this valley some two weeks
ago. He was given an auto ride
through the orchard section of the
valley by Mayor John A. Gellatly
and expressed himself as very much
surprised at the extent of the valley
and also at the scientific manner in
which apple growing is conducted.
In a recent editorial on the apple
business the Yakima Republic says:
"The claim has been made by our
fruit growers on several occasions
when their apples have been placed
on exhibition in competition with
Wenatchee fruit, and they have lost
out, that the decisions were unfair.
We do not know how that may have
been; b ut Wenatchee soil and climate
is mighty good for apples, and can
did observers say that there is no
reason why Wenatchee growers
should not break even with Yakima
growers when the prizes at the apple
show are distributed without bias or
prejudice.

the order. Much can be done. In
stead of leaving the work of prepar-
ing for the exhibitions to the CONNER
cial club and publicity bureaus, the
producers should take the task upon
themselves They should also en-
deavor to spread useful and up-to-
date information about planting,
growing, harvesting and packing.
They should vigorously discourage
the production of inferior fruit and
the planting of land not especially
adapted to apples. They ought to
form guild, or union,o their own,
and advance its interests in every
way possible. Untilt hey do some
things of this kind,t heyhave no right
to expect that their product is going
to have the reputation in the mar
