MAKES A

Together with his wife, hand in

tie Goosedippers, the brave Commuter
took parting walk among his house

And when his emotion overcame
him and he stepped not unkindly but
heavily withal upon the cat the scene
was too pitiful for words.
1t was touching sight to see them.
Then with sob Goosedipper grab.
bed his lunchbox and was gone.
II caught train many years ago
but we had to change cars at Salt
Lake City, so I came home by the
way of Bangor, Maine," was the only
explanation the Commuter made.
Don't apologize. Claudius," said
the loving wife. II knew you would
be home some day If you had to wait
for the Panama Canal to get finished"
Such is the simple faith of the Com
muters
Where is Spartacus?" said Goose
dipper. when l left you he was our
oldest son. l hope no change has
happened to him, Mirabel? The day
before l went on the 1909 train little
Spartacus put on his first knickerbock-
er pants. Where is he?
THAT was many years ago." sighed
the wife. when Spartacus grew old
enough to learn the schedule of the
trains he swore never to leave home
until the railroads made some ar
rangement to get him back again, and
| so he is now a hermit
"A hermit?" inquired Goosedipper;
what is a hermit?"
"A hermit" answered the wife; "a

that crop can be marketed under
such conditions a. cheaply a. when the
roads are good, and Z single team can
handle the same at twice the speed.
The value of the farm does not de-
pend alone upon what the soil will pro-
duce. but upon its accessibility to
market, the environment and whether
the farm is in every way desirable as
a place to live. We spend money for
pleasure and for comfort, and it is
right that we should do so. Probably
as rule too little is spent for
this. Whenever good roads have been
built, in any community, there has
been sharp advance In the price of
land, because the farms are more &C.
cessible. The writer has in mind q
county In northern Indiana, where
about ten years ago a system of "a
miles Of hard roads were built, cover
ing the main highways of the town
ship. About $4,000 were spent upon
the improvements, the payment spread
over ten years. Within a year after
the roads were built the farmers were
asking and getting SIS to $25 an acre
more for their farms than they could
have gotten before the roads were
built. In some cases the advance was
even more. The increase in taxation
was hardly felt.
One of the prominent residents of
the township, in commenting upon the
Improvement, said that the building of
the roads exerted a powerful influence

miles with my produce easier than I
could come In 1--WE miles with bad
roads. Therefore to build good road
moves my farm in half way to town"
The writer has travelled in many
states and foreign countries and stud
led the road problem. In every local
ity where good roads have been built
the people are enthusiastic; they say
they do not see how they ever could
have gotten along SO many years with
out them, for they have better schools,
more social advantages, that the peo-
pie live better, dress better, and the
people in town are strongly attracted to
rural life; that where there was an op-
portunity to sell farm once with the
bad roads, there were several opportu-
mites with the good ones.
If any state or community will take
up the building of good roads upon the
right basis, and spread the payments
over a series of years, they will find
it is the best Investment they could
possibly make. More than one-half

anywhere from one-third to three

LIGHTS OF THE HOLY CITY
Kerosene Lamps Arc Principal lIIunr
tnation Of Nearly All Streets Of
JerusaIem.

The streets and nearly all of tho
buildings Of Jerusalem are lighted by
oil lamps of some sort, there being
only three private electric lighting
plants In the city. The Turkish gov.
eminent has recently asked for ten
ders for the installation and operation
Of an electric lighting concession for
that city, but considerable time
must necessarily elapse before any
such system will be ready for use.
In addition to the ordinary kero-
sene lamps, there are three makes
OF vapor gas lamps on the local mar.
ket, which consume gas generated
from kerosene or gasoline. Two of
these are Swedish, made in Stock
holm, and the third is American, man.
ufactured in Chicago, Ill. The for.
mer burn kerosene, while the latter
requires gasoline.
The city government of Jerusalem
now maintains about 1000 oil lamps
for street illumination, and a small
number of the Swedish vapor lamps
are located at the principal corners
and crossings where q stronger lfxht
is needed. It is proposed to even.
tually replace all these oil lamps BY
electric arc or incandescent lamps.

Also following the good roads, a town

to and from school. This was great
relief to the isolation tho young
people were placed under before the

In that township that the building of a
system of roads was the best invest
ment they had ever made, and under
no circumstances could they be in
duced to go back to the old way. It
is the same story everywhere; In every
locality where any community ever be-
gan to build good highways, and had
the experience Of building, using and
paying for them, the community was
not only satisfied but kept on build
ing more and more roads.
In the last analysis it will be found
that the building of highways adds to
the value Of the farm served by them
several times the cost, and this in
crease in farm values is only one of
the many advantages that grow out of
splendid highways.
Good roads will effect economies in
many ways; they will make life more
enjoyable: they mean better schools,
more social life and more profit; they
mean progress and civilization.

MONARCH OF ANIMAL KINGDOM

Mr.. Frank T. Bullen, in a recent
lecture to children arranged by the
Royal Geographical society, spoke of
the marvels Of deep sea life. The
sperm whale he characterized as the
monarch of the animal kingdom of
the sea. This largest and finest crea-
ture in the sea, said he. possessed
courage, vigor, initiative, and abil-
ity. He did not take attacks lying
down. as other whales did: he was
always ready to keep his end up. This
was not the whale that could not
swallow a herring; it was probably
he that swallowed the recalcitant pro-
phet. because If he felt inclined the
sperm whale could swallow half q
dozen Jonahs. and not boggle about
the task. Mr.. Bullen had found q
15-foot shark among the debris in .
whales stomach. The biggest crear

the result will be ESQ to 300 miles of

would prefer the farm upon the good

owner would say If he cared to sell,
would be that he could go to town any
