QUILTING THE MOB

On of his vacations in the country a circus ticket seller took with him his parrot During the season the bird kept in a he wicket. She had many a big camoring for tickets, and heard her master quietly talking to the throng as he made change with lightning rapid .ity.
 But the second day in the country parrot strayed away Going into the orchard n search for her the snowman attracted to where a huge flock of making d great tion Polly the the excitement. rounded and pecked at from every side, scarcely q feather left her body But above the caws of the crows he could hear his pet solemny admonishing: Don't crowd!

THE ROAD

CBerton Braley in Bellefontain O. EXan'-Aer) I sing you ode
 Of the country road
 The umpy road
 And the bumpy road,
 That jolts the wagon and spills the load Mud to the hubs when the rain comes down, Filled with ruts when the fields are brown And the sun is hot and the air is dry It's clogged with gravel and packed with sand So built and graded and laid and planned That it takes team, And sometimes two,
 TO do the work horse should do It racks the wagons with jolts and jars, It ruins horses and motor cars, Keeps back crops from the market place, Piles up debts the farmers place The old time road is a plain disgrace. But the modern road is a different thing, A worthy theme for the bard to sing: Put together
 For every weather,
 Smooth and dustess and good to see, And graded right, road should be; Useful always and muddy never thing beauty-a joy forever.

kIPLING WRITES OF GUEST ART

 MT. R. Kiplng felt flash of his old fire and threw in high speed: On an old symbolic staircase Looking forty ways at once: There's Cubist Nude descending With the queerest of stunts For the staircase a-falling. And the Noodle seems to say Tho you may hear my soul a-calling You can't me, anyway"
 Oh, this Symbol balderdash And this Post-Impresson trash; Cant you their paint a-chuckn' in q hotchv-

THE LONGEST GOOD ROAD
(San Antonio Express)


 With the completion of the Meridian highway from Winnipeg, Canada, to Laredo on the Rio Crande the notable undertaking in public road construction this country. far distance is concerned will have been accomplished and it seems quite probable that this work will be finished, the close of the year, at least during the half 1914.
 This highway has already been completed from Winnipeg south to the north line of Kansas, so It s only necessary for the states of Kansas, Okla and Texas to do their part in order that there may be a continuous highway from Canada to the Mexican line, passing entirely through the United States. Already sections have been completed in Texas and with the awakened interest manifest e the construction of good roads it may be eN- pected that all the work necessary in Texas will be done shortly
 The road will follow almost q direct lne' pass states of North Dakota. south Da- kota. Nebraska. Kansas and Oklahoma, thence into Texas ending, for the present at least, at the Mexican border, though it is planned ultimately to construct it farther south into Mexico and on into Central America Ii will thus be an international highway, linking together the principal poHtlcal divisions continent and facilitating travel for millions of people.

NEED CARE IN ARRANGEMENT
Proper Display Of Trees and Shrubs
Must Be Made, to Secure the
Best Results.

Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, one of our
most artistic writer's on the subject
Of landscape gardening, says:
eff now we ask when and where we
need the fine art of landscape garden
ing, must not the nswer be: When
ever and wherever we touch the sur
face of the ground and the plants 1t
bears with the wish to produce an or
ganized result that shall please the
eye? The name we usually apply to
it must not mislead us into thinking
that this art is needed only for the
creation of broad landscape effects.
1t Is needed wherever we do more
than grow plants for the money we
may save or gain by them. 1t does
not matter whether we have in mind
a great park or a snail city square a
large estate or a modest d%ooryard,
we must go about our work In an ar
tistic spirit If W. want a good result.
Two trees and six shrubs, a scrap OF
lawn and a dozen Towering plants
may form either a beautiful little pic
ture or a disarray Of forms and col

The breaking of the Beluah
levee in the lower Mississippi
river district on Saturday morn
ing caused widespread c~onstern-
alton among the planters and
tenants of many of the finest
plantations of the delta. Fifteen
feet of water poured through a
crevasse of 200 feet and swept
over the surrounding country be-
fore the people could get to places
of safety. Refuge was taken in
many instances on tops of hous-
es and in tree tops and the work
of rescuing these was a difficult
task. The contract for the con-
struction of the levee had not
been completed, work being in
progress during the winter. With
a foundation of soft dirt the wa
ter found an easy opening and
will doubtless continue to widen
despite the efforts made to tie
the ends of the breaks. Coming
early in the season the planters
will incur heavy expense in car
ing for the tenants and livestock
during the period of high water.

BEAUTY IN AMERICAN CITIES
Field for Artists Has as Yet Scarcely
Been Prospected, Says Writer
In Scribner's.

AS l wandered about the streets
and the parks, studying them under
the constantly shifting and kaleidos-
copic effects which are peculiar to our
changeable climate lit might be at
twilight, with the lights reflected in
long streamers from the wet pave
ments, or perhaps twinkling through
a blur of SnoW-on rainy days, at
night, or during the Indian summer
days, when the tall skyscrapers show
ed only as towering ghosts through
the universal purple haze.) | came
gradually to perceive that here was
another kind of beautiful which, how
ever much it might differ from that to
which l had been so long accustomed
abroad, was none the less intrinsic
and admirable, says a writer In Serb
ner's. AS time went on | became more
and more fascinated with this strange
new loneliness. And now, after thirty
years, l have come to hold New York
the most beautiful city in the world!
Not Paris, o London, mol Rome, nor
Antwerp can, in my opinion, compare
with it, either In color or effect, or in
the unexpected character and beauty
of it's piled-up buildings. Even the ad-
mitted charm Of Venice becomes
somewhat petty by comparison; for
mere picturesqueness does not neces-
sarily %connote beauty, and a scene
which will make an excellent picture
postal card will not always make an
excellent picture.
] DOR found that what was true of
New York city was equally true OF
u American landscape tn general.
The quality of it's beauty differed Who'll
ly from that of northern Europe, but
1t was equally adapted to pictorial ex-
preston on anv 1t had only to be
approached by a systematic tempera-
ment and with unprejudiced eyes to
yield limitless material for the paint
er's art. And, inasmuch as natures
moods on this side Of the ocean are
infinitely more varied than they are
abroad, they lend themselves to the
most divergent artistic temperament
and permit Of a Try wide range Of
personal expressio srt.
Finally, 1t can Sd tated that
the field has as yet 81 pros
pected. Between Qu Z New
Orleans, between the coast of Maine
and California, there are countless
beauty spots which are still virgin
soil for the artist-each offering mo-
tives as different from those of In
ness, Wyant, Homer Martin and Win
slow Homer as theirs were from the
motives employed by Corot and
Mauve, and Millet and Monet.

The marriage of Miss Helen

The marriage Of Miss Helen
Gould at Lyndhurst, Tarrytown-
on-the-Hudson, on Wednesday
was solemnized by a simple eere-
mony performed in Miss Gould's
home. The guests mingling to-
gether on that occasion were Sc
lected from Miss Gould's set in
society and the tenants and SER
wants on her country place. The
marriage of Miss Gould to Mr..
Shepherd will in no wise inter-
fere with the benevolent work in
which her life has been spent,
but it is reported that her hus.
band will readily Join her in dis
pencing that charity which has
marked her career.

The negro who killed the chief
gress.'

The negro who killed the chief
of police of Biloxi was apprehen
ded, tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged within less
than eight hours after the killing
took place. Such haste is no
credit to the officers who took
part in the trial of this negro.
While he was evidently guilty
the court should not have respon-
ded to the impatience of the peo-
Pile for so speedy a trial. Men
should not be tried for their
lives when public opinion is in
famed. While there should be
no dilatory tactics permitted by
courts of justice, there should
not also be too great a rush to
get a mans head in a halter, be
he white or black. Mistakes are
sometimes made and after a man
is dead it is then too late to make
amends to him or his family.

Offenses Against Public Taste.

It Is astonishing that men of wealth
and culture should fail to recognize
the rights of the public in property
which is owned in fee by individuals
or corporations. Putting up bill boards.
unsightly walls or fences, the cutting
of a slightly tree or hedge or the fail
ure to cut an unsightly one are Of
lenses against the public which the
owner of otherwise private grounds
has no moral right to commit. We
should remember that the earth was
made for man-that we should keep
and leave it more beautiful than we
found it. This is true Of our home
acre as well as the more elaborate
park systems of our largest cities.

koa. Sam M. Taylor, 81 Pie
Bluff. Ark, was sworn in Mon
day as congressman from the
Sixth Arkansas district to sue
coed Gov. Robinson who resigned
to enter upon his duties as gov
ernor of the state. Mr.. Taylor
was elected in a special election
held to name Gov. Robison's sue
cessor. He has also been elected
to the full term beginning on
March 4. Mr.. Taylor was reared
at Verona where he first entered
upon the practice of law. He
represented Lee county in the
state legislature where he made
quite a reputation for himself.
Since his residence in Arkansas
he has been a conspicuous figure
in the politics of the state and
his election last fall fulflls the
prediction made by his friends
when he left here that some
day he would break into con-
gress."

The newspapers, always alert
to the trend of public events, have
at last announced positively that
w. J. Bryan will be Secretary of
State in the Wilson cabinet. Mr..
Bryan has cancelled all lecture
dates after the 4th of March
which the reporters accept as
proof positive that he will be a
member of the cabinet. Mr..
Wilson has given out nothing
and declines to say whether Mr.,
Bryon's selection has been made.
Mr. Bryan will prove to be a
secretary of great ability and at
the close of his term he will
doubtless have established a rec
ord that will prove as brilliant as
any made by his predecessors.

and the tramp. Davis describes
the tramp as men who live off

petty thievery, lowly tricks and
anything to get by without
compensation to the be%neIactor."
The hobo is described as "a

to work, and is willing to CON-
pensate his employer to the best
advantage and does not care for
charity, but pays for what he
