AN EXPERTS ADVICE ON MAKING A

"Cheapness in road construction is r most extravagant luxury.
"A good road is he that fits the traffic.
First cost is minor item in road economy. The way to figure
economy is to measure it by the condition of the road to bear most
easily the traffic to which it may be subjected
These and other highway precepts we're laid down by James 1.
McCleary, highway engineer OF Cuyahoga county, Ohio, adjoining
Cleveland, during the greater part OF the time when that countys 400
mile system OF brick roads werec constructed. McC1eary a assigned
to speak before the Northwestern Road congress in Milwaukee, Wis,
IN methods OF brick construction, but he also paid his respects to what
he called the literary and oratorical side of highway building"
For arousing public interest" he said, the literary and oratorical
forces should receive commendauon. They would be subject to n o crit
icSm if they rested a this point, but they have usurped the place of the
engineer in telling the public what kind Of roads to build and what
kind OF roads o tito build.
"The most ambitious schemes of nter-county highways do OF cover
more than a tenth Of the total rural mileage. The cheaper forms OF road
construction must always survive for the less travelled roads. For the
main roads, permanence is the only worthy criterion"
The roads radiatng from Cleveland, he said, proved that the cost OF
repairs on brick roads is negligible for the first two decades, providing
the brick is properly laid.

One of the gratifying results of the election in California, says the
Sacramento Bee, is the abolition of the state pon-tax and every other
form of headtax in California.
The amendment adopted by the people is comprehensive and pro-
hbiory in its terms-notm merely a repeal of the old state pon-taX. 1t
says: NO poLtax Or headtax for any purpose whatsoever shall be
levied or collected in the state OF California"
This wipes u headtaxes for roads, county hospitals and every
other possible local purpose, in addition to the regular annual state poll
tax.
The amendment thus relieves many thousands of poor and needy
laborng men from an unjust burden, which many times has proved a
serious hardship and deprivation. Many IN industrious workngman, IN
fortunate through loss of employment or illness, has had his last dollar
taken from him by the poltax collector.
The polLtax "a wrong in principle, for it rested on TIL: falacy that
persons not paying a direct property tax escape taxation entirely.
pays in rent and prices taxes in much higher proportion to income than
do rich property owners.
The chief excuse for the polltax "a that the sun co1ected-atter
deductng the very large cost of colecton-was paid into the state
school fund.
But that was merely a cloak for its iniquity. The effect a simply
to lessen the state taxes on corporations or other property owners.
The schools will not suffer by the abolition OF poItaxes.
The constitution, as amended some years ago, provides that the
legislature, out OF the general revenues of the state, shall set apart the
money needful for support of the schools, before making any other a-
preparations.
Three-quarters OF the states have II o pon-tax. Even III sorelytaxed
England there has been no pol-tax for ove 200 years.

FEEDING BIRDS IN WINTER
Kindly Act to Set "DInner Table" for
the Wild Feathered Song
aters.

How best to feed the birds is al
most an art in itself. A winter lunch
counter spread with suet, nuts. hemp
seed, meat and crumbs will attract
nuthatches, chickadees, downy and
hairy woodpeckers, creepers, bluejays.
etc. Canary seed, buckwheat, oats
and hay chaff scattered on the
ground beneath will provide an ire
sistible banquet for other feathered
boarders. A feeding place of this sort
can be arranged for convenient obser-
vation, from a window and afford no
end OF diversion and instruction. But
whether close to home or far af1eld,
the great secret Of success In such
work is regularity. Begin to put the
food out early in November, and let
the birds get to know that they are
always sure to find a supply of dain-
ties, In a certain spot, and the news
will soon spread among them. In win
try weather, especially, 1t is amazing
what can be accomplished by feeding
the, birds regularly, and at least the
following birds have been induced to
feed from the human hand: Chicka-
dee, white breasted nuthatch. red
breasted nuthatch. brown creeper,
Carolina wren. cardinal. evening gr0s.

senger, as the man whom he had seen
closest to the Princes person, he de-
ferred to him, and Francois realized
that he must make, and make quickly.
a momentous decision. The arsenal
was immense and lightly guarded. De
Persigny had been sent with a small
| force to take it, for the ammunition
it held might at any moment be of
supreme Importance. 1t seemed that
the detachment which guarded it had
been underrated, for it had made pris-
oners of De Persigny and his men.
and this aide-de-camp had alone es-
capped II they were to be rescued, If
the arsenal was to be gained for the
Prince, this very moment must be
seized. General Voirol, royalist, the
commandant at Boulogne, was on his
way with reinforcements and the
third might we'll hold the arsenal
against him but not gain 1t from him.
With his whole being concentrated
Francois thought. The orders were
plain to lead the third artillery to join
the Prince on the ramparts. But there
are times in history when to obey or
ders is treachery. Was not this mo-
ment heavy with the right or wrong
of his decision, one of them? Was it
not the part of mind capable of
greatness to know and grasp the flying
second of opportunity? Would not the
Prince reproach him, If he stupidity let
this one chance in a thousand go by,
for servile fear Of disobeying orders?
He had left his Highness safe with
two regiments at his back; this other
could do nothing at the Place d Alton
barracks but swell the ranks; here, by
a turn of hand, they might win for
the cause the very blood and bones
of success, a mighty arsenal, and for
| themselves honor and gratitude from
their Emperor. In Francois mind
was touch of innocent vanity that he
should have the power to render 80
signal service, yet no thought at all
! for himself or for the honor he might
gain or lose; whole-heartedly he
weighed the reasons why or why not
1t would be best for the Prince.
The aide-de-camp's voice broke in.

Prince loves him--he will be very

CHAPTER XXI.
The Runle-CaIl.


The gray dawn Of Sunday morning
began to break over the sleeping city
Of Boulogne, yet earlier than the dawn
anxious eyes opened to watch, and
mems hearts beat fast to meet 1t.
Scattered in lodging-houses and bar
racks Louis Napoleon's followers were
waiting before daylight for the part
they had to play. No man among them
was as quiet, as little nervous as the
Prince, yet his as we'll as every gal
liant heart of them felt a throb Of
relief with its bound of excitement
when trumpet from the Austerlitz
barracks, the barracks of the fourth
artillery, Napoleon's own regiment,
suddenly sounded.
1t was the signal, and in a moment
the Prince and his escort were NOV
ing down the dark street toward
Colonel Vaudrey's quarters, toward
that ringing note not yet died out from
the pulsing air.
The city was tranquil when Prince
Louis reached the barrack-gate, and
the soldier-blood in him rushed in a
tide when he saw sixty mounted artil-
lerymen posted at the entrance, and
beyond, in the yard, statue-like, war
like, silent, the regiment formed in
square. If the fourth artillery fol-
lowed its colonel, if the day went we'll,
this was the core Of his army Colonel
Vaudrey was in the center of the
square; the Prince marched quietly
to him and as he came, with a sharp
simultaneous clatter that was the mu-
