sTEvENsoN'S REGRET.
The Authors Picture Of the British
Throne at Washington.

The Authors Picture Of the British
Throne at Washington.
Mrs. Osbourne gives an interesting
glimpse of Robert Louis Stevenson in
conversation In the following account
of his second call on Mrs. Virgil Will
liams:
HE had a peculiarly beautiful voice,
with a rich. round. but not provincial
Scotch accent While he conversed
with Mrs. Williams he paced up and
down the floor In his usual fashion,
with rapid and graceful motion, or
hung on the mantelplece. 1t was not
strange that the conversation turned
on the subject of the relations OF
America and Great Britain.
stevenson regretted that England
had lost the colonies. He pictured the
states under British rule. with Amer
ica the seat of government of the
whole empire. he dwelt upon the
benefits that would have accrued to
the whole English king race from
such a union and to all mankind. with
Great Britain and America ruling the
world for peace and Righteousness. In
q flight Of fancy and with all the rich
ness of language that was his he pic
tured the actual transporting Of the
royal family and all the paraphernalla
of government across the Atlantic, the
pageantry of the ships and the gor-
geous landing and the setting up Of
the throne at Washington.
while Stevenson was talking Mr..
Williams came In. he looked doubt
fully from Mrs. Williams to the stran-
ger, for, as he told his wife afterward.
he thought tramp had got In and she
could not get him out again. But 1t
was only for a moment. and soon the
two men were talking with all the In
terest and pleasure of those who feel
much In common. and from that day
began a friendship that never ended
until the death of Virgil Williams

Women In Politics.

AS long ago as 1876 women were
among the speakers at both Republican
and Democratic national conventions.
and in 1900 Mr.. Bryan's nomination
was seconded by a woman delegate
from Utah. The first woman's suffrage
convention was held at Seneca Falls.
N. Y, in ls4S. But the movement was
by no means new even then. Abigail
Adams and Mary Warren tried to Sc
cure recognition of women when the
federal constitution was made. and In
colonial days Margaret Brent. as ex'
ecutrix Of Lord Baltimore, demanded
a seat In the assembly Of Maryland
Chicago News.

Roads

One of the good roads in this coun.
ely is the stretch of road from the
New York line to Mount Anthony
This is due to the efficient use of the
splitlog drag. An automobile passing
over this road and seeing a man us
ing a split-log drag. stopped, gave the
man fifty cents and told him that IL
was the best road that they had
been over since they had left Troy.
Clippings Worthy Of Note
Road building is a science" said
G.. L. Cooley, representing the Good
Roads Department of the Federal
Government at the Good Roads Con.
vention at Dallas, Texas Fair. There
is no more reason why a man should
work out his road tax than that he
should teach out his school tax. We
lose millions of dollars annually by
lack of intelligent application of road
funds"
The improvement OF public high.
ways adds three times their cost 10
adjoining property and every argu-
ment that applies to the improvement
OF private property will apply with
multiplied force to the Improvement
OF public property and especially to
public highways as everyone must
use the roads. Build roads and in.
crease the value Of your property"
That not less than $3.50. OO0. 600

ALWAYS TIME FOR COURTESY
Even In This Age Of Rush and Hustle
the Wise Person VIII Never
Neglect Il.

Life IL not 80 short but there is
always time enough for courtesy"
30 says the wisest Of American phil
osophers, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and
all will agree with him.
It is said, however, that this most
pleasing quality has deteriorated since
the days Of chivalry, and since the
time has grown so short for the 40
complishment Of all that we have TO
do In this busy. bustling world. But
this should not be. Gracious courtesy
is well worth the trouble which It en-
tails. 1t costs but 30 little to bestow,
and yet means 30 much to the recipi-
ent.
Lord Lytton, tho polished novelist
and gentleman, tells us: What q rare
gift IL that Of manners! How diflcult
to define-how much more difficult to
impartl"
The receipt is given by Emerson
In these few words, Good manners
are made up Of petty sacriflcss."
Not big sacrifices, but petty sacri-
fces. It is the little things that tell,
and the courteous man is careful to
and please them.
Where'er they be, all hearts of gentle
strain
Still cannot choose but courtesy pursue;
For they from nature and habit gain
What they henceforth can never more
undo.
These are the words Of the Italian
bard, which tell at once Of the need
and the advantage OF courtesy.
But II we would fully appreciate tho
charm Of courtesy We should view Il
In contrast with that most abhorrent
churlishness by which some portion
Of the humanity seem TO like to be
distinguished. Let us be courteous
ourselves and learn our manners from
tho unmanerly, as did Lucian the fab
ulist.

ton he lived in the very house where
Daniel Webster had resided for six
years while serving as secretary Of
state and later az member of tho
senate.
A member Of the English nobility
replied:
"Ah, indeed, most interestingl Your
Webster was q most extraordinary
man. In England we have nothing to
compare with your Webster, who, as
I learn, was your greatest statesman
and orator, wrote dictionary and
was hanged for killing a client"

HeIpinq the Books.

Persons about to install new libra
ries or those who find their books in
bad condition will be glad Of the ad-
vice offered on this subject by writer
in Les Annales Paris. Glass cases
should always be avoided except for a
few precious volumes which are spe-
cially looked after and frequently dust
ed since the confined atmosphere and
lack of air circulation in such book
cases are favorable to the development
Of germs, insects and mold. Second
"" adds the Scientific American, "the
simple precautiOn should be taken of
placing on the shelves behind the
books strips of cloth or flannel mOis-
tened with benZine. phenol, tobacco
juice or turpentine. These strips give
excellent results if renewed from time
to time"

Where is Happiness.

Happiness! Where shall hap
piness be found-in life or in
death, in health or in pain? The
world was started in the suicide
of General Nogi and his wife.
1t was their tribute to their de-
parted Emperor and friend.
With the boom of the signal gun
from the palace grounds at Toxic,
announcing that the body of
the Emperor was starting
in its funeral car to its final
resting place, the brave hero of
Fort Arthur and his wife laid
down their lives in the quiet of
their home. 1t is said that the
veteran did not wish the Mikao's
spirit to go forth alone into the
realms beyond. We may call
