and is entitled under the law, her chill
dren probably never would have been
killed, and she herself would not be
the nervous, shuddering wreck she is
today.
The United Charities may say, and
say with perfect truth, that they have
done the best they possibly could with
the funds at their disposal.
= But this is not the point. The point

is that if Mrs. Ustich had been given
the mothers pension the people of
Illinois intended her to have and
which she was prevented from get
ting only by the United Charities.
there would have been no need for
the United Charities to give such>an
exhibition of its incapability, and Mrs..
Ustich need never have been the re-
cipient of charity.

JONES'S DAILY MAGAZINE.

For some months The CHICAGO RE-
CORD-HERALD has been trying out the
newest idea in journalism-a daily mag
azine printed in the regular columns of
the paper.and it can no longer be de-
MED that it is a popular success. ''Jone's
Daily Magazine fills three or four
columns daily and a whole page
ISrlday, offering diverting variety of
short stories, jokes, clever anecdotes,
humorous pictures and well-selected
miscellaneous matter of light reading.
In short, readers of THE RECORD HER
AID not only have all the news of the
world each morning, but a high-class
vaudeville besides.
In order to test the popularity of this
feature the editors recently printed a
series of pictures without titles, offering
prizes for the best titles suggested by
readers Thousands of letters about
each picture promptly demonstrated
| that the people were reading and en-
joying Jones Daily Magazine, Since
then a special staff of editors from the
Sunday department has been assigned
to conduct this novel feature. Contri-
| buttons from outside are solicited and
/ paid for, the same as with a regular
magazine, and the editors already have
| bushels of manuscript to sift every
week.
| If S. E. Kiser's "Whimwhams and
Sentiment" column in the same paper
were not so unfailingly fine it would be
overshadowed by Jones Daily Maga-
zine" but nothing this side of New
York can throw the delectabie Kiser
into the shade THE RECORu-HERALD
is to be congratulated upon having two
such breezy attractions every day in
the week.

D. c. Forrest Off To Gettsburg.

D. C. Forrest of Padus, veteran of
the civil war and who fought in the
battle of Gettsburg for three days,
left Wabeno last Friday to attend the
reunion of soldiers on the famous
field. He will join a large party of
Badger veterans at Chicago and to-
gether they will journey on to Gets
burg, Pa, in special train. Frank
Fosdick, also of Padus, veteran of the
war, had intended to attend the re-
union but as he was not in the battle
of Gettsburg he was not eligible to at
tend at the expense of the state. 1t
seems that only those who took part
in the famous battle on July ], and
3, 1868 are eligible to attend.

EXPRESSION ON
THE ROAD QUESTION
Advocates Commissioners Court In

Couhtles-Also Approves,
the Test Short Road.
70 the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
| am glad to see the good roads
question again coming to the fore. !
was glad to see the favorable inter
view of my good friend, Jesse Gilpin
of Kurten, which appeared in The
Eagle a few days ago. 1t will be re-
membered that Kurten hit the bond
issue "a thousand in the election last
year, and anything favorable to the
Improvement of our public highways
coming from Kurten is strong evil
dence that a change of mind has come
to our people in regard to this, the
most important question that has ever
been up for consideration by the peo-
pie of Brazos or any other county;
though | never have believed that our
people in that election voted their real
sentiments, and | am yet to be con-
vinced that our people are against
good roads, or are against contribut-
ing to the building of good roads. As
soon as they are convinced that they
are going to get a square deal in the
spending of their money | feel sure
that they are ready to be taxed extra
for this purpose.
We have one of the best little coun.
ties in Texas, and when | say Texas,
| mean the whole world, and am still
Of the opinion that there are no better
people that live on this earth than the
people in Brazos County, and all a
man has to do to be convinced of this
fact is to get out amongst them and
mingle with them and enjoy their hos
pitality in their homes. Then | am
sure that we are all Of n opinion
when it comes to Bryan as a business
center. We all believe in it as m Of
the best towns of its size anywhere.
But the county nor the town are half
so good as they might be made by
united effort of all our people of both
country and town. When | am going
up and down the public roads bog
ging in the mud and dragging through
the ruts and meet my farmer friends
going with a load or after a load MAX
ing about three miles an hour with
about one.third Of what an average
team could pull in a trot on a good
road, | ask myself the question, Is it
possible that it will always be thus in
our good county? And the answer
comes back, "A county or a town is
just what its people make it," | then
say to myself: IF this be true, l know
that they will some day be better, for
our people deserve better, and if they
deserve it they will have it,"
We are ordinarily a progressive
people. and with our natural advan-
tages should be a happy people; but
as long as we are begged down in the
mud in both town and country we
never a be either, Then as honest
folks let us begin to think and dis.
cuss what is best to be done in order
to get good roads, and remember all
the while the longer we put this off
the nor they are going to cost us.
At the present rate we are and have
been spending $25,O 900 annually on our
public roads, besides the labor that is
put on them by the citizens under the
fve-day law; still we are in the mud
and instead CT getting better they will
continue to grow worse, for the rea
