AS to the president, J. L. Long. who
is writing this, he was permitted by
courtesy to speak first and longest at
all the meetings and many were kind
enough to compliment him occasionally
on the practical sense of his talk and
all we're courteous enough to listen.
He disclaimed all intention to tell them
how to make good roads, assuming,
rightly, that in every community there
are plenty OF men who know how or
can quickly learn, but announced as
his purpose in working in the move
ment, ITO get them to DO IT and DO
IT NOW"
Being Organized.
Organizations are pretty well COM
pleted and three-fourths of the route
is now fully covered with agreements
to maintain the road. We might write
MANY columns and tell items OF gen.
eral interest in regard to the trip and
the road, but each community deals
with it's local conditions and we found
no place where there seemed to be any
lack of disposition to do SO.
The Blue Grass Road will be in six
weeks the most travelled and most pas
sable OF all the roads Of Iowa.

The Druids were evidently of very great antiquity. for there cannot be much doubt that 1t was one of their customs that Virgil had In mind when he wrote In the "Aeneid," VI, l42. that the "onIy means of access for a living mortal to the world of spirits was the carrying of a golden twig which grew in a dark and thick grove" The re- sembIance of the story to the Druidical rite is perfect The Druids practiced their rites in dark groves. If a mis- tletoe was discovered growing upon an oak a priest severed 1t with a knife, and a festival was held under the tree at which two milk white bulls were offered as a sacrifice. This was sac rifce to the sun god, and the mistleioe, from its pale greenish yellow tint, was regarded as a kind of vegetable gold and was accordingly looked upon as being a it offering to the sun.-New York American.

A Huntlnu Story.

An old backwoodsman that Abra-
ham Lincoln often told of had very
heavy, over-hanging eyebrows, and
wore big spectacles with brass rims.
One day he came rushing into his
cabin and selling his rife, aimed 1t
carefully through crack of the door
at a great oak tree that stood near
and fired.
What is it," whispered his wife.
"A wildcat, Sairy," he said, ex
citedly, "an' | missed him!"
He hastily loaded and fired again,
and then again.
Now, hold on, joshua" said his
good wife. Let me look at you
Why, laws-a-daisy, it's nothin' but a
little bug on one O. your eyebrows!"-
