proposition TO bond the state for

was done so for the reason that a
number of counties had bonded
themselves and built macadam
roads all over their principal roads

Leap year ends with far fewer
New York girls having taken advan-
tage OF leap year than Chicago girls
have. Compared with an increase
OF over 5000 marriages in Ch:c.so
this year. as reported in a dispatch
from that city, the marriage license
bureau in New York announces an
excess OF only about 1000 marriages
here over the number last year.
The total for the year has been 49,

SPEEDWELL.

PA00ON VII Qu1Cuy Ill
Speedwell, and the boys had a nice
game OF base ball, which the writer
enjoyed very much. Our boys are
catching on to the fact that public
drunkenness is a public disgrace,
and that it mortifes the feelings of
the kind parents, and reflects dis
honor upon themselves. l am of
the opinion that soon our civiliza-
ton will wipe this practice Tor
habit of getting drunk on Christ
mas) away. I hope soon we can
number this habit as a relic of the
past. Our young people must have
higher aims in life, if they would
make their mark in this life. Much
depends on how our young folks
are taught at home. If the kind
parent sees his boy leaning in the
wrong direction, then the brakes
should be applied. This can usual
ly be done by sound counsel, spiced
with love and affection. The boy
who will not heed the low
ing counsel of the kind parent is in
a most dangerous position, and
needs the strong ties of the fathers
and mothers love thrown closely
around him, together with kind
words from all good people who
know him. believe every boy
could be redeemed from ruinous
habits if every parent and person
would throw the proper influence
around him. The first step would
to be careful and set the proper ex-
ample for him to follow. Then at
all times have his best interest at
heart. We never can stop onI boys
curslng or from any other evil habit
If we practice those habits our
selves. Our boys are naturally i'm
itative, hence importance of correct
living on our part. The lives of
the children are a continuation of
the lives of the parents, as a rule.
Children inherit to a great extent,
the ways, habits, customs, features,
health, etc., of the parents. Honor
thy father and mother that thy
days may be many on this earth.
