married folk belong to both the Bene-
diets and the Monday Night Dancing
class. They made their membership
ninety-nine just because they wanted
something odd.
The committee decided that while

essential. one would have much bet

President Taft is an early riser. It
an appearance in the white house Of
fees at O'Clock in the morning.
He is always ready for work, and
when he can find a stenographer to
take dictation the president frequent
ly disposes of days work before the
office force begins to straggle in about
8 o'clock.
When there is a message to con-
gress pending, as recently. much
judicial thought is given to the matter
and all necessary data are on hand
before word is written. The psyche
logical moment for starting the mes
sage may come with the break Of
dawn. The president is soon dressed
and in his Office. looking for a stenog-
rapher.
One morning early last winter.
when the press Of official papers was
extraordinarily heavy. President Taft
startled the lone policeman in the out
er reception room by strolling in and
inquiring il there was a stenographer
about. A negative reply caused the
president to go to the door and look
across the lonely white house lawn
and scan the walks and driveways in
the vain hope that some one who
could take dictation might be seen.
Retracing his steps, he walked from
room to room, until in the file room
he found young chap. busily at work
sorting out papers.
DO you write shorthand?"

They repaired to the presidents Of

when the president finally said:

The career of Ransford d. Buck

The Missouri plan was launched by
Mrs. Henrietta c. Cosgrove of Jop-

worked zealously in its behalf for

within another five years every state

children, on their statute books.
Mrs. Cosgrove is a widow, but is

BETTER ROADS

One of the greatest factors in secur-
ing and maintaining good roads in
country districts is the rural mail ser,
vice, for the government specifies that
in order to have their mail delivered
farmers must keep the public highways
in good repair, and see that they are
properly plowed out after heavy snow
storms. When the patrons OF the rural
routes fail TO do this the postmaster has
the power TO order the free delivery of
mail discontinued until the roads are
placed in proper condition. This is a
wise provision, for the ones who enjoy
a privilege should be willing TO give
something in return. Good roads are
the most valuable asset a rural COM
munity can have, and when they are
kept in proper condition there is a
general benefit that is shar ID by the
entire population of the county. The
good road has come to stay and the
townships that have not seen fit to
come under the county system must
make up their minds that they will
have to keep their highways in proper
condition if they are to receive the
benefits of free mail delivery.
