Life is the narrow vale be-
tween the cold and barren peaks
of two eternities. We strive
in vain to look beyond the
heights, We cry aloud and the
only answer is the echo Of our
wailing cry. From the voice
less lips of the unreplying dead
there comes no word; but in
the night of death, hope sees a
star, and listening love can hear
the rustic of an angels wing.

craftsmanship; the wheels went
round as slick as grease. and never
made a slip. I dearly loved for
hours to stand and watch the pen

liked to hear the blamed thing strike
but on one fateful day, the boss

with his feet, and famed me with a
chair, and when I landed in the
street my shoes were in the air. O..

THE GOOD ROADS AMENDMENT.

One of the most important pro-
positions to be considered at the
coming election is the amendment to
the constitution known as amend
ment number one on the good roads
amendment.
As the constitution and road law
now stands the state pays one third
of the cost of state roads or bridges
provided the same are continued
under the rules and regulations of
the highway commission,
The proposed amendment provides
that the state shall pay one half in
stead of one third. At present if
the state contributes one thousand
in aid of state road work the coun.
ties must contribute twice as much or
$4,000.
With the proposed amendment in
force the counties would be required
to expend only $1,000 to the states
thousand.
The state aid fund is provided by
a tax on all the property in the state,
but no part of the same is expended
within the corporate. limits of any
city or village, and as such cities
and villages in the aggregate con-
tribute about about one half of the
total fund it will be readily seen
that the agricultural communities
will be to a great extend the gamer
by the adoption of this amendment.

question of where this exposition

New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold

days to San Francisco. Ia
In other words. the people of
Minnesota can 60 to New Orleans,
spend seven or eight days visiting
an exposition and return to their
homes in less time than would be
required simply for the round trip
journey to the Pacific Coast. s
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
therefrom. @54
Within radius of 1900 miles
from New Orleans there are 100000
900 people. Within the same radius
from San Francisco there are only
100000 people.
Besides all this, many visitors to
an Exposition celebrating the COM
pletion of the Canal will wish to
visit Panama. This can be accom-
plished via New Orleans with great
ease, as New Orleans is only 1880
miles from the Canal, while San
Franciso is 1900 miles distant there
from. ~:
