MIGHT SERVE AS A MODEL
Beautiful Rural Home, Properly Laid
Out and Kept UP, Nearly Ap-
preached the Ideal.

A short time ago the writer rode
past a rural home that certainly
should satisfy any earthly being for a
place Of residence.
A hundred feet highway frontage
had been reserved in the middle OF an
orchard of 20 acres about square. Tne
house stood about one hundred feet
back, the whole plat was inclosed by
q neat wire-mesh fence covered with
roses and various climbers. A Few
clumps of shrubs were arranged just
inside the gateway along front and
side fence and about the foundations
Of the house. Very few trees were IN
the foreground and these few were
kept out of the lawn center, but on
either side of the house yet not close
to the building were fanked quite q
number. thinly planted in front but
more thickly about rear of house so
one could not look beyond a point op'
posite the rear corner Of the house. IN
the front was blue grass lawn, fa1r-
ly well kept and occasionally moved,
though quite long at the time of obser'
vation. The lawn did not look as
though it had teen "barbered" for q
month nor as though 1t proved PROB
lem to keep it up except with great
labor. Two or three vines lightly
draped the house, a few flowers were
to be seen in all parts and In some
spots bright mass spoke of Towering
annuals or perennials. All was neat
and clean yet did not look as though
raked and swept every day or even
every week. The whole place harmon
lied with the spirit Of nature and
rurality, where every prospect pleases
and not even man is vile. The home
and all surrounding looked 80 suttl-
cient, so satifying. SO rural, without 8
suggestion of the artiicialty found In
cities or suburban districts. that 1t
called vividly to mind the happy pas
toral scenes Of old suggested by Gold
smiths couplet:
"A time there was, ere England's
griefs began,
When every rood Of ground main
tanned its man"
1t costs but little to so arrange the
home grounds. its upkeep calls for but
little of time or money, yet such homes
are the country's strongest asset,
speaking volumes for the prosperity
and happiness Of the rural residents-

Surprising discoveries have been
made in the effort to excavate the

"BlG-NAVY" BOOSTING.

There is one potent stimulus to
naval expansion that has been lack
ing in Canada, and we may note
the fact for our own instruction. The
money for ships and guns was all to
ne spent out of the country. Canada
has no ornaments ring, like Eng
land, France and Germany, to pull
wires, promote scares and spend
money in all the various ways that
bring in orders for war material.
Without enthusiasm to bring re-
cruits, without contractors to
groundbait public opinion and ear
wig government officials, without
any foreign responsibility, desire to
interfere with other peoples affairs
or fear of being interfered with by
other people, Canada has failed to
see the necessity for entering into
the competition of ornaments. Hap

Christmas Present.

Governor Hatfield gave William
Slaughter, who was sentenced to
the state penitentIary for life, his
freedom as Christmas present.
He had served seventeen years OF
his sentence and was the oldest
'lifeI In the institution. This
custom of giving the old II offer"
his freedom just before Christmas,
was established by Governor Geo.
w. Atkinson. "a hen Slaughter
entered the penitentiary seventeen
years ago, having been convicted
OF murder, he could not read or
write. Now he can do both and
has also learned trade, whereby
he can earn all honest living. Just
before he was liberated he was
asked what he would do after
having been gwen freedom. He
answered that he would return to
his home county (Fayette) and
when not earning at his trade will
act as an evangelist among bis ac-
qualntaucee. During his eighteen
years of prison life he earned aud
saved seven hundred dollars,
which be took home with him.

Good Work Judge.

We regret that we do not have
the name Of the police Judge who
imposed fine OF three dollars up
on Gustave Koch, who lives III
New York, for trying to convert
his own Six year old son to the
faith tina there il no Santa Claus.
The name of that judge ought to
be handed down to prosperity.
koch's sister-Iu-law, who was
chief witness against him, testified
that she had pleaded and wept
when he tried to persuade the boy
that Santa was myth. Her cries
hnally brought policeman to the
house, the thurman father was es-
corted to a police station III the
Bronx, and there the fine was i'm
posed. No Santa for siX>yeAr.olde
indeed! Koch ought to have been
fined three hundred instead Of
three; even though the judge had
found it expedIent to remit the fine
and place the offender on good be-
havlor. There Is a Santa Claus
for six-year-oids, under and over,
and he's coming to every little boy
and girl In Charleston this night,
and don't you forget it. And when
the father, uncle, male cousin or
any other male relative of a six
year-old tries to persuade that
there isn't Santa Claus, that per.

Of course there's Santa Claus

Are Building Roads.

Citizens of the northern part of

themselves on the action of the coun-

from Buffalo creek to Ceredo. The
road is built on the east side of

cess to Ceredo over the proposed
new bridge for which the piers have

We believe the members of the
present comfy court are doing the
best they can with the limited
amount of funds at their disposal,
but Wayne county will never have
good, substantial roads unless we
do as many other counties I'M the
state are dong, viz: Issue bonds

The bill introduced by Congress
man Moss of this state, for the Fed
eral construction of roads, is the
most comprehensive bill that has
been introduced. He abandons all
conditions of state aid and provides
that the Federal government shall
cause to be repaired and put into
frst-class repair all roads over
which United States mail is carried,
and to maintain them in good re
PAIR. His bill provides for an APP
preparation of $50. OOO,OO for i'm
mediate use and for annual appro.
Priations of $40, 900 thereafter,
and that in apportioning these funds
10 the states the authorities shall be
guided not by population or area,
but by the necessity of road i'm.
ProVements, with view to giving
to each state and territory the same
standard of road efficiency. By
the provisions of the bill every road
over which mail is carried is made
a post road. Should the bill be.
come law it would be of special
benefit to West Virginia and SINH
lar states, where there are few brick
or macadamized roads and where
the main need is an Improvement
Of the condition of existing dirt
roads. 1t would be long step to-
ward the solution Of the road prob
