AUSTRIAN EMPEROR WORKS HARD

rom Ine LOHuOn lcicSIdpl'
 When at Ischi the Emperor leaves his simple iron bedstead at 4, when his bath attendant awaits him, and he is en- veloped in icy, wet wrappings and after a satisfactory glow is reached, his maj esty completes his toilet-that is, he dons his oldest uniform and an overcoat of so ancient date that it daily rouses the scorn of his chamberlain, whose elo- quence upon the subject always fails to separate the coat and it's master.
 His breakfast consists of coffee and kipfein Ca kind of thin, curled roiD. From 5 until 6:45 the Emperor peruses his correspondence, then either rides or walks until S. On his return to the im- perial villa he is awaited by the courier from Vienna, with his many documents. Work continues until ?, with the inter- ruption of light lunch of. bouillon and some kind of meat. No document is overlooked; everything is thoroughly ex- amined before the Emperor's signature is given. His majesty bestows special at- tention upon matters connected with nominations, promotions and decorations.

From the New York World.
 There is nothing new in a Rockefeller on the stage; that is a tribute often paid to success. But in G. Loves Dickinson's s Bushes, as produced in London the dis guise seems thin; and veritable Miss Tarbell is there to prod him as in real life.
 These stage "take-offs" are an old de- vice to attract attention The Greek dramatsts used them. Moliere put his contemporaries on the stage and bor- rowed lines from their versees to put in- to their mouths. Nowadays We disguise the figures rather more. MT. Ditrichstein does not wear his hear Paderewski length in 'sThe Concert" nor is MT. Blinn's ap- pearance in "The Boss" suggestive of Fingy Corners, nor does MT. Beveridge resemble the virtuous stage hero of half a dozen political dramas. But one knows who suggested the type.
 The vanderbilt of his day and two of his sons were plainly used by Bronson How ard in ''The Henrietta" "The Third De- greer would never have been written but luSDeclOT by fnCo, tiiou6h ei'S N"''~sA ture does him injustice. When Oscar Wilde lectured in New York MT. Gros- smith was playing Wilde as Bunthorne under the same management. Mime. Tren- toni in Captain Jinks' was fictitious character, but her name was modelled upon Mime. Albanrs. Paris people laugh at Rostands paradoxical peacock in "Chantecler'' and hear in his whimsical remarks the latest "precieux' of verse. Sir Joseph Porter in ''Pinafore' cut deep into the truth. An able war minister under Gladstone was so baited by should er-strapped noodles because he was a mere business man and had never killed any one.
 The French "Revues'' have given us life like representations of Wilbur Wright and other heroes of the moment present. ed frankly under their own names. From , such permitted foolery to the blackface man who was hustled off the White House grounA for mimicking President is tha last descent of holding the mirror up to nature grotesquely askew. ..

 To turn a cute trick seems to be the ambition of many, boths in and out of the legislature. To get the best of the other fellow appears to be the predoml- nant spirit of the would-be leaders.

Report of Road 0Terseer No. 8.

To the Board of County Commission
ers of Newberry County.
I have inspected all roads il No. 8
township and find thecc in cest con-
dition ever known due to the dry win
ter, good work done by overseers in
1910, and the excellent work done by
chaingang in April and May.
I wish to make special mention OF
the work done by chaingang on the
Henderson's ferry road and on road
from Keitt's bridge to Gordon's bridge.
The board will do we'll to keep such
men as Messrs. Miller and Werts, as
they certainly know how to build good
roads. T would be glad that the board
would work portions of road with
gang on R. F. D. route from Blairs as
early as possible.
I do not find many roads worked
this year by overseers, but it has been
too dry to accomplish much. The
bridge near B. H. Maybin's, on Hen
derson's ferry road, needs repairing,
also most of lumber used on bridges
in Maybinton is only II feet long, anu
I think same should be at least 16
feet long. The work recommended in
my last report has all been completed
with exception of Keitt;s bridge, and
I am reliably informed that the work
will be done soou.
I wish to commend Commissioner
Leitzsey on his strenuous efforts to
keep bridges and ferries in good con-
dition and he has made some remark
able improvements in the last two
years.
7 think with the aid of changing
and with good overseers No. 8 town
ship will soon have some good roads.
Respectfully,
H. S. Graham.
