together. A good pattern can be bought
for Is cents. and few yards of mar
row ribbon completes the gifts at small
cost After cutting the kid, stitch the
edges together on the sewing machine

Circus Man Made Superintendent of City
Workhouse.

In the October American Magazine,
George Creel writes of Charles +, Ste

Mayor Whitlock appointed superintena-

man, who is entirely ignorant Of 'po-

Writes Mr. Creel:
"Mr. Stevens entered upon his new
duties with no other insignia Of office
than nice new shave. On his first
morning, as he walked around testing
the floors with reference to his weight,
the prisoners went marching by, each

and despairing rhythm.

An intensely human story is "The

November Suburban Life. Describing
the Homecoming Of little baby girl,

Eden, and Adams dear arms closed
around her, around them both and swept
them in. out OF the cold and the murk
and the heartache; into the heart Of
Eden, the great, warm firelit study
where they had lived and loved these
six happy years. And there on the
hearth, in the glow of the great fire,

hooded, wide-rockered cradle, soft with

Editor of the aMeschacebe,"

GdLOl VI tuc lheSCudCSU6y
spending to your kind invitation to
your readers to give their views on the
good roads movement in ST. John Parish,
| wish first to congratulate you, Mr..
Editor, on your advocacy of real good
roads, and secondly to assure the gentle
men in charge of this great public i'm
provement of my earnest desire to CO.
operate with them in any way that 1
can to make it complete success. If
can call into being any sentiment for
good roads that does not already exist l
shall be most happy to do so.
l have Just returned from trip
through Illinois and Wisconsin where
hundreds of miles of good roads are be-
ing built every year. have seen them
used by the farmers who now load auto
trucks with eggs and vegetables, and
send their produce over fine roads to the
cities at tritiing cost. have seen these
roads used by rich and poor with equal
benefit just as our roads will be used.
Good roads are even better than fine
public buildings. Our neighboring par
ish of Lafourche has just completed a
fine new court house, but the roads in
that parish are so bad that for weeks at
a time people living at distance are
unable to reach it during rainy season.
Good roads will enable our people to
reach their Churches for divine worship
on every Sunday of the whole year.
They will also have the services of priest
and physician with much less delay than
now. | will leave additional arguments
for good roads to your other contribu-
tors on this subject SO as not to cover
the same ground over again. merely ad
ding that when once in the possession
and enjoyment OF good solid roads we
will wonder why we did SO long without
them. Rev. FRANCIS BADEAUx.
