PRIZES FOR DRAGGING ROADS.
An Iowa Town Adopts Unique Way
to Improve Highways.

From the New York Independent.
A movement which promises many
beneficial results has just been tried out
by the people Of Stuart, Iowa, and vicin-
ity. The merchants of Stuart offered to
give FIVE dollars worth of merchandise
to every farmer of the surrounding coun-
try who came to town with his team
hitched to a drag on certain day. Each
merchant contributed Q value OF approx
mately % cents worth to each farmer.
and when the twenty lots OF that amount
were collected a varied assortment was
the result There were coffee and cigars,
hosiery and hair tonic, a buggy whip.
bottle of olives. ring Of bologna, can
of salmon. pail of ice cream. a package
of nails, breakfast foods and many other
things. The entire lot comprised the hve
dollars worth given to each drag driver,
and after all there was very little that
did not possess real, practical value for
the recipient. In addition q cash prize OF
SS went to the man who had come the
farthesi, and another. to the one having
the best drag, and another for the finest
team. The First Nationalt Bank gave
each man his dinner free. and a local
liveryman fed all the teams without
charge. -..
The Stuart Commercial Club originated
the idea ofAthe double purpose OF 1nouc-
ing people TO come shopping from a long
distance and to improve the roads lead
ing out from the village in all directions.
During the day total of over 100 miles
of roads was dragged and thus smoothed
down for the May and June rains to set
tie and pack. One man obtained the
longest-distance prize for coming ten and
one-half miles and another was a close
second at ten miles, The greater part of
the day was consumed in going this
twenty-one miles round trip. The farm
ers themselves decided on the prize win

From the Brooklyn Standard Union.
When the lamented death Of Augustine
Saint Gaudens deprived the Players OF
the possibility OF securing the Booth
statue for Gramercy Park from his gem
ius, Mr. MacMonnies was selected for the.
work. The idea was to have the great
actor depicted in his most characteristics
representation, that of Hamlet. and -
make the statue a portrait one OF tbs
man who was nearest to the ideal -.
the poet in his embodiment OF the melaf-i
choly Dane. But the sculptor evolved the
idea of presenting the statue within an
arch, representing the proscenium of
stage, making q construction much more
elaborate than was originally contem-
plated.
The fear that the arch would tend to
belittle the statue and other differences
have led to friction which eliminated in:
the withdrawal of the sculptor from the
completion Of the commission. But hopes
of harmony are not abandoned. and the
Hamlet OF Shakespeare and Booth. de-
Iineated by MacMonnies, may yet adorn
the park which faces the home OF the
Players. which the great actor founded.
