If the inventor should be so for

mount of the so much needed

near so as possible, the benefits.
| am opposed to the issuing of
county bonds to build roads. Be-
cause that system would necessa-
rily require new officers. And
after all the officers were paid a
large salary, il would be like the
fines and forfeitures paid into the
State treasury. 1t is said that
this money goes to the State.

5 percent for the state. Just SO
with this proposed bond system,
fear Morgan county may issue a
5000. 900 bond and there would
not be money enough expended
on the roads of that amount, to
build the proposed road 25 miles
unless more economic principles
are adopted than have formerly
been.

SCHOOL NOTES.
BY BERNARD WHIT

"The fate of empires depends
upon the education of the youth"
believe Aristotle might have
added "the education of the
youth depends upon the cooper
alton Of parents and teachers?
Education means more than con-
jugation of verbs, and bounding
states. 1t is such a training as
will fit one for the struggles of
this life, and secure a place of
eternal bliss in the next.
| often wish that the parent
could step into the teachers place
for a few days. or could step in
to the future and view the destiny
of their boys and girls. Would
they send their boy who is loaf
ing away the golden moments Of
opportunity, to school? Would
they condemn the teacher for
enforcing heavens first law?
Would they expect the teacher
never to make a mistake, when
it is human to err? Would the
teacher not strive harder to do
his duty?

But remember those fingers they

In raising the merry strains of his

And all the pretty colleens around

How I love to muse on the days of
my boyhood,
Though four score and three years
have flew by them.
It's kings sweet reflection that every
young JOY,
For the merry-hearted boys make
the best of old men.
At fair or wake could twist
my shillelah.
And trip through a dance wild my
brogue wild straw;
There all the pretty maidens around
me gather,
Call me their bold Pheiim Brady.

Yet Ireland's my home and a DWELL

And, oh, let the turf that my old
bones shall cover
Be cut from the land that Is trod
by the free.
And when Sergeant Death In his cold
arms doth embrace
And lull me to sleep with old Erin

By the side of my Kathleen, my dear
pride, place me,
Then forget Pheiin Brady, the

An old goose who had warned the

she heard their decision. You will

she said, "or any other time, II you

"Oh, beg of you my dears," said

she was young and liked to have a

to take a moonlight walk, and she

And in walked the silly goose and
hen, and that was the last that was
ever seen or heard of them; a few
feathers were all that was left to tell
of their foolishness.
But the wise old goose the next
morning told tho others of Mr.. Fox's
visit and how she had tried to warn
the silly goose and hen, and they all
shook their heads and looked in the
direction of Mr.. Fox's home.
1t was not long after that the
farmer found Mr.. Fox one morning
fast I'm a trap he had set for him,
and the old wise goose walked at a
safe distance from Mr.. Fox and said:
You are caught at last. I see. Even
