The Riqht Road,

The right road is a long road.
And at times it may be rough;
But don't leave it for the wrong road
That is paved with sham and bluff.
And don't mistake the smiling
OF the men who travel there;
Or the gold that they are piling.
AS a sign that all is fair.
For beneath the jewels shining
And the pleasures they possess,
And behind their hours of winning.
There is fearful loneliness.
Though the road that they are taking
Seems a splendid ~thoroughfare,
Hearts for honest joys are aching.
And the lives they live are bare.
There are rough spots in the right road
There are dangers grim to face;
And it's often not a bright road,
But it's free from all disgrace.
And it's lined with friends to love you.
And its joys are of the best;
And when stars come out above you,
With a conscience clear you rest.

tween the Two Brings Good Results.
Macon, Mo.-Macon county is full Of
patriotic citizens these days who carry
hoes to do emergency work on the
roads. The hoe. ana sometimes Il
shovel also. is carried behind the motor
car, and whenever the public spirited
citizen runs into Il mudhole or Il
place which he thinks he can improve
with a little work, he gets out and
does it. 1t is considered bad citizen
ship here to pass over a mudhole with
out trying to repair it.
Farmers used to smile when the
town men talked about working on the
roads, but since they have shown so
much interest in the matter the farm
ers welcome them in the all important
road work. OF course one man and
one hoe can't do any great amount of
work, but the man can start on the
job, and if he finds it too big to tackle
he IAN give the emergency signal with
his motorcar horn. and there are plenty
Of farmers who will respond to his call
and help do the job.
DIR. a. Is. Miller, former president of
the Macon Good Roads club, leader of
The Man With the Hoe" organization,
said:
'The biggest thing the town man
with the hoe does on the country road
is to convince the farmer that he is
really in earnest in this matter of good
road work. When the farmer is salts
fed that his city brother is going With
him he will go to the limit. 1t means
that before long we are going to have
in this county such Il sentiment as will
vote almost unanimously for any prop
osition that tends to insure roads that
will be good all year.
I'VE are approaching the era Of hard
surface roads. When we get every
body thinking and approving the road
campaign it will be an easy matter to
get the money necessary to carry on
the Work. 1t is no uncommon thing in
driving owe the country to see q
preacher OF a merchant on Il highway
alone tearing up weeds, %shoveling dirt
in 4 mudholc or cleaning out a ditch
with q shovel. The work of these vol
unteer workers is bound to result in a
perfect highway system. The funda-
mental is to get the people firmly de-
cided on a thing and then they will go
after it."

Man and FIicht.

Mathematician have calculated that
man is too heavy ever to be sustained
in air by the power Of his own mus
cles. no matter how large the wings
are which he fastens to his body. The
weight limit is probably approached
by the largest birds, such as the Aus
tralian crane, which still flies. although
it weighs about twenty pounds. The
ostrich long ago gave up all hope of
winging it's way through the air. An
aeroplane can be built, say the experts,
which will sustain a man and use but
three horsepower, but as the best ath-
letes can exert only a maximum of
about two horsepower for fifteen sec

Pedaqogue.

The word "pedagogue," as applied to
schoolteachers, is from a Greek word,
paidagogos. compounded of pals, boy
and agogos, leader; hence paidagogos,
leader Of boys. In ancient Greece the
paidagoges was not strictly an in
structor, but a domestic slave who
looked after the boys of family, took
them to and from school and kept
them off the streets. The boys were
put In his charge at the age of six, and
he probably sat with them in school.
Although his position was simply that
of trusted servant, it came in time to
be applied to the teacher, though al
ways with a slurring or contemptuous
significance.

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds Of the heart itself the es-
cape of blood is never in large quaint
ty, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape Of blood
from within its cavity of cavities into

mechanically interrupts the alternate
contraction and expansion by which
its pumping action is maintained. Ac-
cordingly the results Of the wound of

Couple" Black in InGrmary;
Look For Early Recovery

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 22.-With
the announcement that "Cupie" Black.
Yale's football captain, was in the
infirmary, Yale football circles were in
a furry of excitement yesterday. but
assurances were given last night by
DR.. Leonard c. Sanford, the team s
physician, that aside from a slight
fever and sore throat. the Ellis fight
ing leader was all right. He will be
out again to-day, Is the belief, and
Will get into practice on Thursday, If
not to-day. With Black on the side
lines there would be little hope of vic
tory for Yale over Harvard, in the
opinion of those who have followed
the team this year.
"Chub" Sheldon, out of the game for
over month because of an attack of
tnf1ammatory rheumatism, took Blacks
place during the forty-five minutes
signal drill. Sheldon went through the
practice apparently in as good con-
dition as ever, but because of his long
absence from the game he could not
play the entire game against Harvard.
He Will be ready to go in the second or
third quarter If necessary, Tad Jones
announced last night.
TraVer Smith, the quarterback who
was compelled to absent himself from
the Princeton game at the eleventh
hour because of illness. was in his
street clothes at the field yesterday.
He will be ready to take his place in
the scrimmage which has been or
dered for to-day. Smith has entirely
recovered from illness and will surely
play against Harvard. With the dash
ing quarterback directing the Blue
team, Yale men figured that their
chances of beating Harvard are at
least even. LaRoche, who ran the
team at Princeton, will be his first
substitute.
