TO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE.
Evidently MT. Jimso Was to Get a Plentiful Quantity of Fresh
 Air That Night.

MT. Jimso was in the habit of at tending meetings which often de- tained him after the usual hour of re- tirement. One night he was exceed. ingly late, and his wife, after fretting herself into a temper. went to bed, determined to give her husband a lesson. When she had been upstairs about ten minutes she heard a knock, so, putting her head out of the win dow, she inquired:
 "Is that you, Tom?"
 "Yes, Kate; come and open the door," was the answer.
 What has kept you out so late?" asked his wife.
 we have been discussing the real benefits of fresh air." answered he.
 Well" returned his better half, you can lecture tomorrow night from experience" and down went the win dow with bang.

FINE ROADS ATTRACT lFilic; TRADE
Pedestrianse Go Around Bad Streets to Reach Shops on Good HIshways
 Add to Realty Value.
(By L. K. COOPERl

(By l.. K. COOPER.) .-.
 It would seem that in this late day and age advocating good roads as good for mankind generally and business particularly would be unnecessary
 Good roads mean good business. Have you. eyer noticed that in towns immediately after street has been paved or resurfaced, pedestrians and vehicles begin to multiply on those roads?
 It does not take long before every. body, it seems, knows of the newly paved streets and many go out of the way to travel them. Last summer the pavement on street near my home was torn up for repatching. The con. tractors were so long in even attempt ing to get started on the work that merchants along the street started suit against the city for business they knew they had lost because the street was impossible.
 If good streets-and street is only another name for road-mean so much to the city business man, it is to be supposed they are just as valuable an asset to the business man or the farm.

 It is always best to buy registered animals for breeding, but if crosses are used with registered stallion one can in time breed; up to a very high standard Shetlands are very easily kept They require but little grain. and VIII do very well on rocky hill sides where there is fair pasturage.
 They need shelter in bad weather, of course, but an open shed, wind tight on three sides, leaving the south side open, will be all that is necessary.
 A good wire fence is required to keep them in bounds, as Shetlands are extremely curious and somewhat rest. less, and will manage to get over, un. der, or through the average farm fence.
 If handled from birth they are very easily broken, and at three years old will be ready to ride or drive. Pure. bred Shetlands find ready sale at prices ranging from $125 to $200, and exceptionally fine specimens bring even higher prices.

BOTH ADEPTS IN DECEIT|
How Signals Arranged For Between Soldier and His Wife Really
 Were Carried On.

The captain had not been long mar ried when he was ordered into camp. To be sure, the camp was in plain sight of the captains residence, but then it was still separation; and to tighten this terrible condition it was arranged that the bereaved husband and wife should signal to each other often with their handkerchiefs. It was on theSlecond day that the young wife was seated on the porch reading. Tell me, Jane," said she, is the captain still signaling?" Yes, ma'am," an swered the maid. Then keep waving your handkerchief. I want to finish this novel," At the same time, in camp an officer from an adjoining company stepped up to the captain. T say, old fellow" he asked, why do you keep that man out there all day waving a handkerchief" "Oh, it's merely bit of signal-code practice for him.

hunter, going through the wood, saw the same dove sitting on the branch of a tree, and determined to kill 1t. The dove, intent upon watching her nest, did not see the hunter, and so did not fly away; but the ant, watch ing the hunter while he loaded his gun, knew that the dove was in dam ger, and determined, if possible. to save her. He ran as fast as he could toward the hunter, and reached him just as he was making ready to fire.
 "Scrambling as fast as he could up the hunters leg, he reached a bare hunter aimed his gun, and, biting him as hard as he could, he made the hunter miss his aim, and the sound of the gun alarming the dove, she flew away to safe place."
 Well" said Jack Rabbit, "that was certainly fine thing for the ant to do, and particularly as it is not likely the dove ever knew why it was the hunter missed his aim"
 Indeed" said MT. Fox, "it was all the more credit to the ant that he performed the kindness without ex- pecting the whole world to know of it. And the whole story" continued MT. Fox, furnishes proof of the lesson that even the smallest sort of kind ness is profitable to the one who does 1t.
 And now I am going in to take a nap" said MT. Fox, flor have had a very busy night and morning doing 8 kindness to Farmer Wilson's chickens He had built a fence so tight that there was no way they could get out of their yard; but I have dug them a nice hole under the fence, and l think one or two of them will get out by tomorrow morning."

FOX TELLS ANOTHER STORY.
coP3UfoHT IStcwef aEun~etN SyNoscArSN

'I wish MT. Fox would tell another story" said Jack Rabbit, as he pre- pared to go again to the hillside and which he had now come to depend very much.
 "That story which he told me re- gently of the mouse and the frog was very interesting, and it illustrated so we'll the fact that so many of us seem bound to make ourselves uncomfort- able by binding ourselves to persons and things unsuited to us. I shall certainly try to make him tell an- other story today"
 When Jack Rabbit got to MT. Fox's house he did not find him at home; but, knowing that unless something very important detained him, he would soon be there, he sat down to wait. And as he waited he saw on the ground beside him great number of ants, which were rushing about and hurrying in all directions-at least that was the way it seemed to Jack Rabbit, although he thought they must know what they were doing, else they would not be working so hard.
 He was busy watching the ants, when, all at once, he was surprised to find MT. Fox standing right beside him and saying: How do you do this morning?"
 Jack Rabbit was rather ashamed to be caught watching the ants, and started to make some explanation of what he was doing, when he was stopped by MT. Fox, who said: Don't excuse yourself for watching the ants. There are very few of us animals who could not learn more than we al. ready know from these little insects, for they are very wise, and do many things much better than even men, do them. They are systematic and me thodical; they know the rules of war and forms of government; they can lift more than their own weight and carry it a long way; they care for their sick. and provide for their flu . ture, and, above all, they have sense of gratitude, and after have goi some of this dirt of my paws and washed my face I will teach you 8 bit of wisdom by~telling you a story of an ant that was first told years and years ago by a wise old fox in Per sia, whose stories have been retold by many another fox who was not sc wise." j ;t. '
 Jack Rabbit was delighted to think that MT. Fox was going to tell him an other story without his even having to ask him, and he was very impatient while MT. Fox was washing his paws and face and getting off some of the dirt, which, fear. had got on them while he; was digging a hole under the fence which Farmer Wilson had recently built around his chicken yard.
 Finally, however, he completed his bath, and he had scarcely got to the door of his house before he began his

ROAD BUILDING
IMPROVE ROADS IN ILLINOIS
Expected That State WITT Spend Nearly $2oo,ooo, ,ooo for Better High.
 ways in Next Few Years.

(By H. A. JEFFRIES. Member of Illinois
 Good Roads Association)
 Illinois has been one of the last states to take up seriously the prob lem of improving it's roads, but now 1t Is going into it with a determination to make big advancement in a short time. A commission of Illinois road enthusiasts has been touring the states, inspecting roads and investi- gating the methods of road building. It is expected that the state will spend in the next few years nearly $20O, ,0OO,- 900 for good roads, and necessarily our people want to get the best roads possible.
 The question of whether there shall be macadam roads, brick roads or con- crete roads is one to be determined. Many of the new roads are of mac adam construction, and there has been a lot of sentiment for the brick high ways. Concrete roads have been ob- jected to largely because of the great cost of construction. It costs $14,OOO a mile for an 18-foot concrete road, and this initial outlay is so great that it ordinarily scares any community. The advantage of the concrete road, however, lies in the small cost of maintenance.
 The expense of keeping up a con- crete road, it is said, is less than $50 a year per mile, with the experience of New York, Massachusetts, New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania shows that it costs $500 mile to maintain mac. | adam and brick roads. | It makes no difference what kind of construction, so, long as we get inn proved roads, and we can we'll afford later on to change the style of road if we get a first-class highway, across the continent. which, believe, will be accomplished in the next ten | years. er: ,-. -,., t4 .-:N

FRENCH BOY DISPLAYS PLUCK
Cuts PIanks for Floor for Trench While Within Thirty-Six Yards of
 Enemy-Enemy Astonished.

A patient in the American am tells the following story of one of his comrades:
 We had been living in the trenches for days with the water above our ankles. At that time our trenches were only thirty-six yards away from the German trenches, so that we could hear the enemy talking and whistling, and, indeed, we often called across to them.
 One day, young F., who was hot. tempered chap about twenty-one years of age, threw down his shovel and said that he wouldn't work in such nasty hole another moment, and that he had rather die once from a German bullet than live another day in the trench. Anyhow, he was going out to chop some wood for a fioof and let the Germans shoot him fl they wished
 "Thereupon P. calmly crawled out of the trench, walked to a woodpile in full sight of the Germans, and be- gan making blanks from the wood. He worked a whole hour, for the Ger. mans were so much astonished at his audacity, and so delighted with his pluck, that they made no attempt to stop him.
 When he had finished the needed pile of boards, P. calmly carried them into the trench, and the men made a good floor of them."-Youth's Com paniol.

story. You see," said MT. Fox, that with all their other accomplishments the ants are not very good swimmers, and one day an ant, having ventured too near the edge of a brook, fell in, and was in great danger of being drowned. He called, in a feeble way, for help, but there seemed to be no one to hear him, aLd he had almost given up hope when the current of the brook carried him under a tree, upon a branch of which dove was resting.
 The ant, seeing the dove, thought to himself: Here is one last chance; I will call as loudly as I can, and if the dove does not help me 1 shall give myself up as lost
 So he called as loudly as he could and the dove, hearing him, looked down, and when he saw what the mat ter was, plucked leaf from the tree and dropped it into the water just beside the ant. Though fast losing strength, the ant managed to crawl upon it, and the breeze, blowing the leaf to the shore, he crawled upon dry ground and was saved.
 Now a good many animals and a good many men would have said to themselves: That leaf fell off the tree and 1 do not owe the dove anything for saving my life, and would have at once forgotten the act of kindness But the ant did not do this. Instead he said to himself: Some day l will have chance to repay the dove.

The making of good roads is one of the most important duties of the people and their prompt repair and careful maintenance Is essential. There is probably no subject in which the progressive farmer is more deep ly interested than that of having roads connecting him with his mar kets over which he must be able to haul the greatest possible load Good roads, like all other good things, are too expensive to build and of too much value to be neglected.
