About Good Roads.
MANS MEMORY is short

W @AANO mAhOis1 10 oiiNA W
AhA Last winter, when deep,
sticky, hold-fast mud covered
the places where the roads ought
to have been, everybody was
bowling for good roads, but when
the spring sunshine dried up the
mud and made it possible to get
by, the people forgot and we'll
have the same experience again
this winter.
1t is to be devoutly hoped that
Judge Sebastian, when he begins
his term, will have the courage
and the ability to begin the work
of building good roads. Not a
futile struggle to get the over
seers to fix up" the roads, bul
a real start toward good road
building. The public must b.
educated to the value of good
roads, and the best way to edu.
cate is by doing. Build some
good roads and let the people gel
the benefit of it. Every mile Of
good roads will make a hundred
converts to the good roads propa.
yanda. 1t will require courage
to rightly overcome some of the
obstacles, but it is worth daring
much for. Some greedy, unpa-
triotic land owner may try t.
lold the county up and rob it in
tight-of-way graft, but if the Of
icials in charge will stand firm
md condemn, the juries may be
depended upon to keep off exces-
,ive charges. A good road will
increase the value of any farm
chat it touches, so that there can
oe no damage by the building oi
| good, scientifically constructed
,oad.

They stopped to take breath, and
started off again. Again they stop
ped, and again they went on, trem-
bling in every limb, as if they were
being chased by ever so many ban
dts, or as if they were afraid they
would be too late for the fair; on
and on, until : < Towards eve
ming they began to slacken their
speed, and they stopped.
Said the elder brother to the
younger:
"Do you know what l will tell
you, Schneyer?"
what, for instance, Meyer?"
"For instance, | am not so tired
from walking as I am faint for want
of food"
II am the same"
The two brothers talked in this
way for some time, and they saw in
the distance : < What do you
suppose they saw? Perhaps flow
ing stream whose waters were pure
as crystal? Or sweet smelling
bread fresh from the oven? Or hot
fish fried in butter? Or, perhaps,
dish of meat seasoned with garlic,
the smell of which drove straight
into their nostrils? Goodness knows
what you may imagine; but you are
surely wide of the mark. Sitting on
the grass in the middle of a field,
they saw two Cossacks, ordinary
Cossacks. They had long pixies and
short whips, Nagaikas, I mean, and
red stripes on their trousers. They
were half lying on the ground,
leaning on their elbows. Their caps
were on one side, their hair was
smoothed down and curled up be-
hind their ears In one ear they
had silver earring. Their faces
were red burned from the SUM- Their
teeth were white as milk. They
had 'straws in their mouths Their
horses were browsing in the grass,
with lowered heads An iron pot
was hanging from tripod over
fire, and in the pot there was some
thing boiling = what, was not
known, whether it was meat or fish
or borsht or porridge. But it GER
tainly was not bad, judging by the
smell. The only thing was whether
it was Kosher

"What, for instance, Meyer"
"For instance. What have we to

beaten and down-trodden? And I
tell you, it is the very reverse. Every
one stands up for the Jew. To prove
this, I will tell you, if you like, a
story about two brothers. And we
will see what you will say after
wards.
There were two brothers. One
was called-what difference can it
make to you what he was called ?
Imagine that one was called Meyer
and the other Shneyer, and it hap
pened in Lithuania or Poland, or
Volhynia or Courland, and it was
about the time when the fighting
and the revolutions had just begun
in the world. The people were talk
ing of pogrom, an ordinary Jew
ish massacre that was to take place
shortly. And though our two
brothers had nothing to protect, for
they had neither houses nor shops
nor any property whatever, nor even
wives and children, they were afraid.
They feared for their lives.
They rose up early one fine morn
ing, betook themselves to the road,
in whatever direction their eyes
might lead them in quiet haste
Why this haste? Must one run the
moment one hears rumors of pog-
rom? The answer is: The village
was already very lively, Cossacks
rode about the streets cracking their
Nagaikas. What business had the
Cossacks in a quiet village, Jew
ish village, two thousand miles from
Manchuria?
Anyhow, imagine that there was
pogrom, and our two giants, Meyer
and Shneyer, were flying like ar
rows from a bow. And because of
their great haste they forgot to take
with them an extra shirt, or pair
of trousers, or pillow to sleep on.
In short, they forgot everything that
human being needs on the road.
Bread, for instance, to say nothing
ofsother food, dried sausages, smok
ed tongues, etc. speak Of nothing
else but bread, plain bread, without
which no son of Adam can live, even
if he were to go to the end of the
earth. When the time comes, you
see, when your stomach demands
something to fill it, you may be the
wisest man, the greatest philoso-
pher, but you will not rid of it's
demands until you have satisfied it.
That's how the Lord made man
and it's useless to rebel What say
you; is it not so?

own free will, they would have gone
under compulsion. For the Cos
sacks saw the two Jews, winked at
one another and cried, in their Gu
rious Yiddish
"Eh, Itzka, Chayim, come here !"
Little father little mother Bal
ly-bally bangH
And there began between the two
pairs-between the two Cossacks
and the two brothers, a sort of con-
versation which even if you had
eighteen heads you could not under
stand. For the most part, the two
soldiers would speak nothing but
Yiddish. And they could talk Yid
dish about as we'll as the two broth
ers could talk Russian. The broth
ers knew only one word, "Skud-
ene." Naturally, their hearts stood
still. How could they tell the Co.'S
sacks that they were flying from a
pogrom? What does Cossack
know of a pogrom? Our brothers
bethought them of plan. They
would pretend they were stupid and
did not understand word of Rus
sian.
And instead of answering where
they were going, they pointed to the
pot and the food that was boiling
in it. They shifted the air, swal-
lowed it, as much as to say: 1--WE
are hungry. We want to eat. And
you worry us with your 'skudene'."
1t seemed that the Cossacks I'M
derstood the Jews wanted to eat
They put off their "skudene" and
betook themselves to the good deed
of looking after their guests; but in
soldier fashion. How, for instance,
they made game of the Jewish CAB
erdines and their curled earlocks!
Then they insisted that one of the
Jews was named Itzka and the other
Chayim. They offered them por-
ridge and stuffed them with swine
flesh. And as stuffing a Jew with
swine flesh is a good deed, they di-
vided the work. One took hold of
Itzka and the other of Chayim.
They all sat upon the ground, and
the Jews were given bowls full of
porridge with plenty of fat in it.
Two wooden spoons were put into
their hands, and in soldiers slang,
they were ordered to eat. In the
ordinary way, the words might
mean: "Do us the favor; come and
eat with u.s." But, from the tones
of the soldiers voices, they meant,
