Good Way to Get Good Roads.

pierre.-In some of the northwest
counties Of the state, it has been sug-
gested as a method of handling the
road situation. that the townships
make no road levies. and accept a
general county levy of Ave mills as the
road tax. That this fund be used to
purchase the proper machinery and
construct main thoroughfares across
the county to the main market town,
with whatever side roads which can
be constructed within the amount
raised by this levy. to give the coun-
ties a good road system. instead of
leaving it to the townships, one OF
whicl, will grade and work one sec.
ton line. and ar adjoining township,
working another line without relation
to a connecting highway. The plan
should work to the general advantage
Of the public, but would be absolutely
a Voluntary one. as the attorney gen
eral holds that the county has no pow
er to make a road levy to apply to
towns and organized townships. in ad.
dition to any taxes they may levy.

Fiction and Reality.

1t is q simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact, as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part, for the first

Are you in trouble, little girl?" a
kind man asked her.
"Yes, kind sir" she said. 81 have
been robbed. Two men in the subway
were looking at me, and jostling me,
but I; didn't pay any attention. When
got off here l found that my stock
ing had been cut and ST taken. Ouch!
Something hurts my foot-it sticks

She took of her shoe. and when she
turned it over a glittering object feIi
cut on the platform.
"A diamond" her kind man friend
said. ITS worth 5000, # it's worth

when he cut my stocking-I noticed

So she went her way rejoicing, and
did not report the matter to the po-
