Some COLLEGE Humor.

A new German professor in a
girls college, wishing to detain one
of the students, said, ooh, Miss
may I hold you a minute aft
er class 7"
This advice was given by one Of
the students to her mates: "Girls,
take all the courses you can with
the men professors, for the women
of the faculty try to find out how
much you know and the men try TO
show Off how much they know"
The wife Of one Of the professors
warned him as he went off to Off
ciate at funeral one rainy day:
ssNow, John, don't stand with your
bare head on the damp ground.
You'll surely catch cold Life.

TOWNSPE0PLE INTERESTED.
Concerned In Condition of Roads as
Much as Farmers.

Concerned In Condition of Roads as,
Much as Farmers.
Not few people make the mistake
of supposing that the good roads ques-
ton is one for farmers mainly. 1.-THE
people who live in towns" declared the
Illinois state engineer recently in a
goods road speech at Peoria, ARE con-
cerned in the general condition of the
roads as much as the people who live
out of the towns on the highways"
This Is very true.
While the farmers reap directly the
most benefit, pleasure and convenience
from good roads. the condition Of the
roads affects the towns vitality. The
average community finds business ex-
tremely dull when the rural popula-
ton Is bottled up by mud.
There are times in the United States
in this dawning twentieth century
when conditions obtain that existed in
England 500 years ago; when produce
needed in town for food rots a few
miles out in the country because the
farmer can't haul it.

The Nightingale In Scotland.

A century ago Sir John Sinclair
tried to establish the nightingale
in Scotland. He bought in Lon
don as many nightingales' eggs as
he could get at a shilling each,
which were well packed in wool and
sent to Scotland Trustworthy men
were engaged to take care Of all
robins nests in places where the
imported eggs could be Matched in
safety. AS these arrived from Lon
don the robins eggs were removed
and replaced by those Of the night
ingale, which we're in due course
sat upon, Matched and reared by
their foster mothers. The young
nightingales when fully fedged
seemed perfectly at home, and in
September, the usual period Of mi
grafton, they departed, but they
never returned.

WASTE OF BAD ROADS.
About s25o,Ooo,ooo Said to Be Annual
Toll of Poor Highways.

Two hundred and fifty million dol
lars are wasted annually on bad roads
in this country, which is noted for it's
business sagacity and thrift and which
has been pronounced a great success as
a business community.
Add that waste to losses occasioned
by bad roads and the sum leaps to a
billion year. 1t is estimated that, in
short, each man. woman and child in
the United States bears a tax of $3.50
because of bad roads.
If this doesn't show that good roads
are national question that bu1ks as
big as the tariff, the navy. foreign rela-
tons, commerce-anythin if it doesn't
prove that the federal government
ought to turn to the roads question
with as much energy as it expends on
anything else. then there is nothing
more to be said.

Advice of Mediators Given to Peru

Lima, Peru, Dec. 3O.-A joint note from
mediating powers the United States,
the government today advising Peru to
submit it's boundary dispute with Ecuador
to the Hague tribunal. The feeling here
is that Ecuador will not accept the sug-
gestion and that war will result The
newspapers urge the government to pre-
pare for the hoStilities.
The two countries were brought to the
verge of war last spring because of their
inability to reach a settlement of the
boundary dispute which had been submit
ted to King Alfonso of Spain as arbitra-
tor. His majesty delayed a award. in
timating that the parties themselves
might directly negotiate with better re-
suits. Meantime both countries sent
armies to the frontier.
Washington took the initiative and with
Brazil and Argentine offered its friendly
offices to assure peace. This was condi-
tional upon the withdrawal of both armies,
which was eventually accomplished The
republics, however. remained at odds.

The Superintendent has been appoint
ed. the wagons have been purchased and
delivered, coal has been hauled to the
bins, cans have been ordered and all
plans made for the opening of the To-
peka city garbage crematory Tuesday
morning, January 3, 1911.
NJ. c. Holman, city commissioner IN
charge of this work, announces today
that everything will be in readiness for
the kindling of the first fires in the
plant. Tuesday morning when the
black smoke issues from the big crema-
tory chimney the city's big sanitary
investment will begin on the first year
of maintenance revenues.
J. P Butterfly has been appointed
superintendent of the new crematory
by Commissioner Holman. Superin-
tendent Butterfly has prepared every
thing at the plant for the initial per-
Torrance and he says that as faSt as
the garbage wagons haul the trash and
material to the dumps the garbage
force will take care of it.
The new city crematory has capdc-
ity of 40 tons Of garbage day and II
will be as much as the people OF the
city are able to supply the wagons 10
keep the plant running at capacity pace.
1t is not expected by the officials in
charge that the moderator will be
supplied with 40 tons Of stuff until at
ter the winter months. .
At this time the city has found IL
necessary to use three wagons only.
The winter months do not require as
quick service and on account of the
general retrenchment in all city de-
partments Commissioner Holman has
not purchased as many wagons as could
be used in the city.
The three double wagons have been
delivered at the plant. They are big
heavy modern garbage wagons of the
best make and the latest type. They
will hold "a cubic feet of material

are of the dump variety-they can be
