ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Energy Of Farmers Teams Conserved
by Pulling Heavy Loads Over Com
parativeIy Smooth Surface.

There is no doubt that good roads
tend to prosperity to the farmers who
live on them. Their teams are not
worn out with the effort to pull a
light load over bad road, for they
easily take a large one to market and
save not only the strength of the
team and wear of the wagon, but
what is of more importance still, the
time Of the owner.
He gets his product to market more
cheaply and that item alone tends to
more prosperity. Then, too, the value
OF his land is increased by the fact
that 1t is on well-made and we'll

or pays Is bad roads.

An analysis of eve milk shows II
to be very high in fat content. The
different breeds show some variation

they do later on.

The old despot who called himself the president of republic died July 2d with the world fully conscious th2t the condition of Mexico and the Mexican people is much worse than t was when he ruled with in- reu'gence and power, though he made farce of elections and turusd the forms of free institu- .ions into the instruments of per souaI and class domination.
 What time has done for Diaz is to show that attempts to make a real republic of Mexico have re sul.ea n chaos and widespread ruin, and that those who led the revolt which finally drcve him out of his country were wholly unable 10 ride the storm they raised or save Mexico from the MeXicans that Diaz knew so well and governed accordingly. Events have made Diaz sAiue by comparison with yari- Ous leaders, feeble or shameful or both, who have attemped to fill his place They have shown that he gave Mexico about as much liberty as its people have the ability to use and nst abuse, and there is no Ques- ton that he accomplished maryelS lu pr, noting and guiding the ma teriaI advance of the Mexican ua- Uion

Jefferson Davis asked for camels, and congress finally authorized an eXpedl- ton to the orient to buy them.
 The expedition brought back nearly 100 animals, which were added to from time to time till the number grew to 12S. They were stationed at Fl Paso, Yuma, Ariz.; San Antonio and other points on the frontier.
 The return trip across the ocean with the camels Is recorded In anus ing detail by Lieutenant D. D. Porter, who was In charge. Each animal was provided with a competent chauffeur, who was caretaker, interpreter and bag gage master in one. Most of the animals got seasick, and so did the drivers, and both complained bitterly of the ar rangements. The camels wished they hadn't come and showed it by kicking and biting pieces from various officers, who were not to blame.
 After landing in Texas the Camels did not Improve percepibly in their na- lures. Their particular aversion was the army mules. Even the younger, inexperienced camels learned quickly

to Kill a mule with one blow of the hind foot and indulged in that pas time frequently. Their taste for army officers remained undiminlshed, and the chaufreurs got the blame every time captain lost some of his anatomy.
 The soldiers took to the camel with reciprocal affection. In the first place, they didn't like his looks, contending that the soft, faraway look in the cam els eye indicated that his mind was not on his business. Then the soldiers couldn't get used to the Odor radiated by the oriental beast-circuses not be- ing in vOgue-and many of them said that Kipling was perfectly correct in his opinion that a camel smelled most awful vile. Kipling hadn't said it yet, but soldiers are farseelng and knew he was going to say 1t.
 Besides, the camel was no good 10 ride, the soldiers agreed. His ambling, rapid stride made them seasick, and they wanted no animal which It took ten minutes to awaken when the h. dlans attacked them in the night. No American had lived up to that period who could tie a cargo on one of the beasts so It would stay on. The cam el is not constructed flat on top, 1t Is remembered, and only clever Arab chauffeur could load one to travel any distance without losing the supplies.
 The high record in dead mules was made, 1t Is said, by a camel In San An tonic whose name was Major. Major kicked seven valuable mules into eter- nity, and one day some soldiers, friends of the late mules, took Major off up on high cliff and came back and said he had fallen of accidentally" No ex- haustiye probe was made of Majors disappearance.
 A caravan loaded with supplies went into the city of Sutherland Springs on one occasion, and the camels were wa tered at the town well. It was the boast of the city that the well had never gone dry. About half the cam els took a drink and the well was dry. The disturbance caused by the remain ing thirsty camels set the population into a panic.
 But the endless feud between the camels and the soldiers soon convinced the government that railroads would do just as well. The rush to Califor- nla was well over and frontier trou- bles were well under control by the time the war broke out. The govern ment withdrew the foreign camel agents and closed the foreign offices. By the time the war was over the cam- els died and some were stolen. Others escaped to the desert, and even today a hoary wild camel, white with age, occasionally territies Sunday newspa- per feature writers into writing some thing about 1t. Very likely the ones which didn't go to the desert swan back to Egypt, Both reports are au- thenticated in the same degree.-Kan- Sas City Star.

THE OLD MASTERS.
Paintinss Without Signatures Arc
 Judged by Their Teehnio.

Paintinss Without Signatures Arc
 Judged by Their Technio.
 It appears that many of the works of the old masters are not signed. Experts rarely rely on signatures alone in determining the authenticity of an old work, but trust rather to their knowledge of the painters technic, says the Philadelphia Record.
 False signatures can be easily de- tected. Spirits of wine or turpentine will usually remove q name of later date than the painting. In the course of time signatures often become very difficult to find. Painted originally in a shade slightly lighter than the ground, perhaps, they sink in, darken' and merge into the ground color CT they are almost rubbed away by sue cessIve cleanings. Recognizable one day in a specially favorable light, they may not be visible again for weeks.
 Experts speak of l-o'-the-wisp" signatures, and many collectors have encountered accidental strokes and
 
 cracks that tantalizingly suggest sig nature, though 1t can never be made definite. On the other hand, there have been remarkable cases of such marks, after careful study, resolving them selves into famous name.
 Sometimes the painters name Is most conspicuous as, for example, in Ra- phael's "Sposalizlo" at Milan. Proud of having surpassed his master, the youthful genius wrote on a frieze in the very center of the canvas, "Raphael Urbinas."
 Reynolds hardly ever signed his work. But upon the completion of the portrait of Mrs. Slddons as the Tragic Muse, he wrote hls name large on the gold embroidery of her dress. He was unable, he said, ''to resist the temptation of sending my name to pos terity on the hem of your garment"
