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 minute aft
er class ~
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
eiate at q funeral one rainy day:
Nov, John, don't stand with your
bare head On the damp ground.
You'll surely catch cold Life.

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 were 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.

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

SObSSIISd W. SCHLItlOU OF nOaQS as
Much as Farmers.
Not a few people make the mistake
of supposing that the good roads ques-
ton is one for farmers mainly. "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.

WASTE OF BAD ROADS.

About $25O,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 bulks as
big as the tariff, the navy, foreign rela-
tons, commerce-anything 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.

The following is from the latest

1t has been the object of This

to utilize as far as possible local +
terial and to construct roads most :
able to the needs of the several ~
mnnities, taking into consideration

has proved very popular in the locs
ties where it is practicable. and | no
that the roads built in this manner
the eastern and southern portions
the state will demonstrate that +
roads in those sections may be great
improved at moderate cost.
1t is very important that some III
mite and positive legislation should
taken with reference to the mai
tenance Of roads which are being CO
structed with state aid. 1t is certain
not understood by the people general
that gravel and macadam roads ha
to be maintained.
Therefore proper attention has I
been given to this subject by the cou
ty authorities. There should be a Il
requiring the board of supervisors
road boards to make special provisi
for the maintenance or upkeep of I
roads which have been improved

that this department can require t
counties applying for state aid to p
vide the necessary funds for main

Mairtainina Gravel Roads.

In order to maintain gravel road in
good condition 1t is well to keep piles
OF gravel alongside at frequent inter-
walls, so that the persons who repair
the road can get the material without
going too far for it. As soon as ruts
or holes appear on the surface some Of
this good. fresh material should be
added and stamped into position or
kept raked smooth until properly con-
Bolidated.
