sc1hico the Jester Is the second of that
series of historical novels by Dumas
known as the Valois Romances, the first
being Margaret of Palois. and the third
s'The Forty Five Guardsmen." In this
abridgment use ia made OF The Forty
five Guardsmen" to indicate the ultimate
fate OF principal characters. the careers
of most Of whom are left hanging In
the air." as it were. In Dumas "Chico,
"Chico the Jester is remarkable for the
tremendous energy which pervades every
line OF it-there is something doing all
the time. There Is lighting enough to
satisfy the most bioodthirsty or the most
adventurous, and the combats are not too
complicated TO be easily followed. Also,
the character drawing Of historical per
sonages is wonderfully well done. Henri
III may or may not have been exactly
the man Dumas drew, but his portrait
has been so forcefuily and so cleverly
painted by Dumas that whatever his
forical doubts" may be raised Henry OF
VaIois is damned to everlasting fame as
the king in Chico" AS for the inverted
morality of the story that so pervades all
Dumas work that it must be accepted as

=. No Free Mail II Roads Are Bad.

1he government mas taken a nano
in the good road movement in many
states, and patrons Of rural mail
routes are being notified that the
roads along their property must be
put in good condition this summer
and kept that way. Otherwise there
will be no mail deliveries next winter.
In states like Kansas, Iowa and
Nebraska, when the roads are good
it is hard to beat them for smooth.
ness and freedom from dust, but
when there are continued rains and
considerable snow the swamp roads
of the east and south and are not
much worse than these.
Many roads are simply wagon
tracks across the prairie or hills of
dirt plowed up in lanes following, of
course, the section lines. In many
sections there has been little or no
organized read work and but slight
effort made to improve the roads so
they would be fairly good during the
winter and rainy spells. But the
government is going to change all
this. Postmasters from whose Office
a rural mail carrier works will receive
notice within the next two weeks
which says:
"You are directed to inform your
self with reference to the conditions
Of roads aud bridges on the rural
routes out Of your Office, and if you
find that they require improvement
you should present the matter in the
strongest and most positive way to
the patrons and road officials, in
} forming them that improvements
must be made as soon as practic-
able.
, r'If, after a reasonable time has
elapsed, the Improvements have not
been made or started, you will report
, the fact to this Office in order thai
action may be taken looking to the
, discontinuance of the service.
J The rural mail service costs a
! good many million dollars year and
e the government feels that the farmers
} along the routes ought ito take suf'
} ficient interest in the service 10 keep
; the roads up. During the last WIN.
e ter several routes we're discontinued
. for a number of months on account
i. of bad roads and many others were
] discontinued for short periods be,
calse the roads are impossible.
, A good many patrons thought the
! government was blufiing them when
! it threatened to stop the service anc
\ they paid no attention to the urging
o. the carriers to work the roads.
But when the service did stop there
/ was trouble, and the postmasters
i just smiled and told the patrons to
3 get the roads into shape and the
service would be started again.
. This year the postofice department
. is notifying the patrons early and
: gives practically seven months to ge
: : the roads into first class condition fo
. the winter Heretofore, there ha!
. been little or no road work except tc
