Good Stories All Old

Lord Byron, in one of his prose writ
ings, declared that there were only
seven stories in the world. and that
all other anecdotes and jokes were
adaptations, variations or d~egenera-
tons of the original seven.
Wendell Phillips, in his Lost Arts
declares that all the good stories of
the present day accredited to the
Irish are really the product of the
original Greeks.

Paris.-The correspondent Of New
York Sun with the Foreign Legion.
at the front writes:
A postcard came from Torole say,
ing that he is acting as mechanic for
an American aviator with the fifteenth,
squadron of the royal flying corps at
Farnsborough, England. He adds that
he has been granted ten days vacation.
and received $40 advance pay and that
The feeding is fine, especially the ham
and eggs.
Fred Stone. a New Yorker, has been
wounded by shrapnel while on sen.
tinel duty in the trenches at the town
Of. Two bullets entered his body,
but DR., Van Worst, who attended him,
assured us he was all right.
A later letter says:
This is my birthday. Heavy snow
has fallen. Strange. for only yester.
day as we were on our way to the
shooting trenches from the sugar re.
finery on the canal, where we had all
taken hot shower baths. l was think
ing of writing to ask you to send us
a baseball outfit. Spring was in the
air, and everything was beautiful, so
no wonder We all got baseball fever.
Many Of the Americans here are col.
lege men. There are at least three in
the rear and thirteen here. We had
IA, but C~arstairs is gone, Rockwell
Is in the hospital at Mont Meriel.
Olinger is at the depot at Orleans, and
so is Collins, who is still i'll. Narwich
has just Joined US again with some
others who have come to fill our ranks.
Ganson is also at Orleans. Casey has
gone for an eight-day rest.
You may think the idea Of baseball
here is crazy, but why not?- The Eng
fish play football in the rear Of the
lines. Do not forget that this war is
the most remarkable war in many 9th
er ways than its size. 1t has been
pointed out often enough that the
firing line is 200 miles in length, but
not much attention has been paid to its
width. It's depth Is so comparatively
insignificant that we can play ball If
we will when out Of the trenches.
OF course shells fall in this village
where ! am writing, where we rest, but
we can go another half mile or so to
the rear and be entirely out of the dan,
ger zone. People are living there
again as before the war. They hear
the distant. o "a of cannon, but the
noise becomes a habit. Anyone who
wants a fine reproduction of the front
when firing is going on-not a battle
but the ordinary firing-has only to go
to some big construction work in New
York, where he will hear exactly what
we hear every day.
The blasting initiates the cannon,
the hammer striking the steel girde1

when dropped reproduces a cannon
fire effect, especially through the vi,
brations caused. But the most re.
markable imitation is the hydraulic
hammer, that c%ontrivance with which

instrument exactly initiates a machine
gun in action. If l ever get back to
to New York I shall jump whenever
I hear me-.

lII. "sea Serpent

A member Of the Big Stove club Of
Bath, Me-, told the following expert
ence with a sea serpent. He was ct
the wheel Of his little fishing schooner
In Long Island sound when he heard
a swishing sound behind his vessel
Peering behind he could just make
out the long. sinuous body of a sea ser
pent with an enormous head and q
pair of flashing eyes. The serpent,
however, kept his distance. The next
morning the sailor found that a rope
from the schooner had become entan-
gled in a lobster trap and had towed
1t up the sound.

Marry the Mature Man.

The girl who marries a man older
than herself is often happier than the
crepe hangers foretell. She has the
advantage of all those years during
which he has gained in understanding,
mental balance and experience. An.
older man is settled in his actions; he
is not likely to change. He expects.
less of a woman than a younger man.
because he is not so ~idealistic. He
has ceased to look upon woman as on
a pedestal, and he sees her with her
feet upon the ground. And. after all.
the human attitude is best.-Exchsnge.

EVAN MAY FIGHT!

It's beginning to look as
though the village Of Evan will
have a lawsuit on her hands if
she does not pay damages for
having a car smashed on one of
her roads last Monday. John
Hanson, a Brookville farmer
living nine miles from Evan,
while coming to town Monday
afternoon in his five passenger
automobile ran into hole in
the road within the corporate
limits of Evan and broke the
braces on the front wheels of
the car. The damage, he fig
ures is about SIS to $40 and he
wants Evan to pay it threat
ening he will sue them if they
don't. It is generally admitted
that the hole is a bad one, how
ever, this is the first accident
we know of to result from it.
At what speed Mr.. Hanson was
going when he ran into the hole
is not known. The outcome of
this affair will be watched with
much eagerness.-Sleepy Eye

tribution Of the state road fund

Surely, the rural highways are
of benefit to the cities, for they
bring in the produce to markets.
Aimed at Simple Law
"What I aimed at in drafting
the socalled Dunn road law was
to make it simple and workable.
For that reason, the law gives
control of town and county roads
to town and county boards. Why,
the law is so broad that it is
made possible for town boards
to repair any defects in town,
county or state roads within
their district and present the
bill for the work to the subdivi-
sion of the bodybuilding authori-
ties ehargable for that particu.
lar piece of road.
"Some of the rural districts
seem to have a fear that we
have put too much authority in
the hands of the state highway
commission. I tell you it is nee
essary to have some central au-
thority. We want good roads
radiating from the population
| centers out into the country.
Some one has to plan them and
supervise the construction, if we
are going to have any system to
our road building.
Better Roads Come Slowly
"Good Gravel Roads, rounded
and drained, are the roads we
must expect to use for many
years yet in Minnesota. The So
called permanent roads may
come but they will come slow
ly. We must pay as we go, and
that is just why the Elwell road
! law was repealed. 1t permitted
/ the bonding Of the people to pay
! lin the future for roads that
/ would be worn out before they
were paid for.
"That we can't have concrete
roads to any great extent in the
country districts for years is
1 shown right here in the city OF
Minneapolis. You can't pave all
the streets. The people couldn't
stand the taxes. So the thing
] to do is build gravel roads, OF
roads crowned with crushed
rock il, you can. g.

Mother,
How About
Refinishing That
Old Home?

Ever get tired of the old doors,
the old wood work and the old
floors?
Of course you have, but you
never thought you could throw
them away and get new like you
can an old rug, carpet or chair.
But you can. People often do
that-re-trim the entire inside
of a house, make it look like new.
No it's not hard to do and
neither is it very expensive.
Let me show you the material
necessary, give you the cost and
any carpenter can quickly tell
you the labor cost.
It's. worth while thinking
about and investigating.
If you need a new home this
is the year to build.

and keep it shaped"
Senator Dunn declared that
arterial roads are essential but
are next to useless if the coun-
try roads that feed them are
impossible. He urged the town
and village officers to take pride
in the upkeep Of the roads in
their districts and predicted that
their example would go far to
making the city authorities link
up to their roads with roads just
as passable.

more than 3 per cent Of the road
fund to any one county.
