A lecture was recently delivered by a
member of the road board before the
Royal institution Of London on 1.-THE
Road. Past. Present and Future" The
lecturer said the problem was to find
the best mode by which road should
be constructed no that its surface
would NOT be broken by traffic. SO that
the transit might he easier for both
passengers and goods. a road which
would form neither puddle holes nor
exude mud from vehicles and create
no dust when the weather was dry.
One thing was universally recog-
uixed-that the road of the. future
should be truly bound rond in which
whatever kind Of stone was used the
stone should be held together so that

suggested that what he called car

John Sharp Williams says the best
nominating speech he ever heard was
made by Private John Allen. who used
to be member of the house from
Mississippi. The man Allen wished to
get on the ticket was an ex-Confedsr-
ate soldier who had lost both legs and
had crippled arm. There were many
things that could have been said about
the mans war record. but Allen wished
to be brief. He got up. looked at the
fellow and brought the entire gather

READ AND REFLECT ON THIS.


Here IS some sound gospel tfuA
from the Ardmoreite which makes
timely reading for the people of Chick
asha at the present moment:
Are you booster?"
We do not mean by this to ask il
you are one who announces to the
public that the general good the com.
munity demands that such and suoh
things should be done, but to ask If
you are one Of those who win grab
hold and 90 out and help to do these
things? II you belong to the first
class you are several degrees above
the town mocker, but are by no means
entitled to wings Of gauze or halo.
If you belong to the second classic
the class made up Of the truly public
spirited who work, as well as talk, for
the benefit Of the town, and Of all the
people in the town, then you are a
live wire and really entitled to have
your name, carved on the corner stones
Of some Of the buildings which will
stand after you have been gathered
to your fathers.
Everybody knows the bnocker His
name is legion and he is to be found
in every community, from the village
Of fifty inhabitants to the city with
its hundreds OF thousands. He is n
harmful element in the poulation Of
every state, Of every city, OF every
town-but he is not nearly so harm
ful as the lukewarm booster-the fell
low VINO says everything under tho
sun could and should find an abiding
place in the portion Of the universe
which he enriches and honors by living
in it, but who when it comes to
show down is willing to do nothing
but the shouting. Such men make
good starters, but awfully poor finish
ers.
The man who will attend the mass
meeting and crate at great length on
the good things which are to be deriy-
ed from the encouragement Of any
new idea or enterprise, and then will
crawl into his hole, there to hibernate
until the enterprise is carried out, is
as guilty Of its murder as is the most
red-handed knocker who will stand oa
the sidewalks breezy edge and tell all
passera-by that the scheme may be
al right, but the ones behind the
movement are not the right sort"
The class of men which viii build
up nations and towns are the fellows
who win roll up their sleeves and
plant their patent feathers in the mud
in an honest endeaYor to roll the
wheels of enterprise out Of the hogs
and miry places which they inevitably
encounter in the outset Of their jour
