THE HORSES SIDE or THE
GOOD ROAD PROPOSITION.

In considering the question of
good roads we should not over
look the humane side Of tie
question and consider the ami
mails upon whom fall the heavy
burden of farm work.
These animals are the willing
slaves Of man and in his deal
ings with them they should re
ceive at his hands the best al
tention and kindest treatment.
The man who sits upon his
loaded wagon with whip in hand
can hardly enter into sympathy
with the horse who is drawing
the load through deep sand OF
mud over unworked and almost
impossible roads. He also fails
to take into consideration that
the money invested IN his work
stock will not yield a fair return
unless the stock is given an op-
portunity to do a full value OF
service. This cannot be done
except under the most favorable
condition.
At times like these we need
good roads. Many a poor old
horse and mule will hardly get a
square veal until this country is
well supplied with food stuffs.
These seasons of shortage of corn
and hay and oats frequently
come in this section and the
loads on i'll fed stock should be
lightened by good roads.

A drayman in st. Louis fell off
his wagon and the hind wheel
ran over his face making 33
fractures of the bones and en-
tireIy destroying his countenance.
In working his face over the
physicians have greatly i'm
proved his visage and it is conf
dentially believed among his
friends that the girl who has
persistently refused him will
now accept him.

When the tongue of trade is
coated, when the eyes and limbs
of the clerk are dull and languid,
When the raging fever tackles
the empty vitals of the till, when
the spider roosts in the cashbox,
and bouquets of decay are on the
chandeliers, it is conclusive that
the advertising doctor has not
been consulted. = Chardon, Ohio,

Plan for New Bond Issue Goes Over at

ne directors of the Norfolk &, Western

ouI' contrary to expectations In some quar-
ters, adjourned without announcing any ac-
non upon hnancial matters. 1t was
learned, however, that a plan for an issue
or new bonds had been considered, but that
owing to the enforced absence Of several
members of the finance committee no de-
clSlon was reached on the subject That
something in the way OF new financing will
be announced in the near future is thought
probable in we'll informed quarters The
proceeds from the sale of new securities.
whatever form they may take will be used,
II is understood, for new construction.
There have been persistent rumors in the
financial district Of a prospective increase
IN the Norfolk & Western common dvi-
dend from to per cent. but nothing off
cial could be learned about this yesterday.
although il is believed that there is some
foundation for the reports. IL is regarded
as improbable, however. that anything will
be done IN this direction before the COM
ing summer when it is believed the earn
