THE LONESOME HIGHWAYS
Waterloo Courier1

The bill providing for ultimate
hard-surfaced highways for Iowa is
being reported from the legislature at
an opportune moment; the subject OF
roads Is on everybod's tongue who does
not live in city or town OF paved
streets. The condition Of public high
ways throuout the state is the chief
subject Of conversation among people
who are able to congregate so as TO
carry on conversation.
Those who imagine roads in Black
Hawk and adjacent counties are bad
have but q faint notion of the condi-
ton Of roads further north. There
the highways are deserted and have
been, largely, for several months The
summer roads that knew the purr Of
the motor and the pressure of the
rubber tire. have forgotten what an
automobile looks like. Occasionally
lusty team waIlows thru, dragging
an empty wagon or buggy, but only
when the utmost urgency makes a trip
necessary. The rural carriers plow
thru in some fashion, altho many use
the horseback method OF transporta-
ton. The roads have been bad all
winter except for couple Of weeks.

THE PROMISE OF SPRING.
IfToledo ChronICle.)

Az our eyes opened the other morn
Ing and We stretched to look at the
Big Ben which was ticking away on
the dresser we heard cardinal just
outside the window. Directed by the
Joyous sound we saw the bird on the
bare branch Of a maple tree. There
he was standing like an ffnpresarfo
in the presence Of all the crowned
heads Of the universe. Then again
he lifted his head and sang until his
little body quivered with passion and
he seemed almost ready to dissolve
In the uncomfortable rapture Of life. 1t
was more beautiful than the crashing
melody Of an orchestra, sweet as the
tipkling splash OF the little cascade In
a woodland dill. IL meant the ap-
proach Of spring.
The past winter has not been as
severe as the one previous, but it has
been difficult one just the same.
The prevalence Of the influenza cpl
demic and the sickness and death OF
so many Of our neighbors and friends
has cas-, a gloom over all The long,
weary days waiting for the boys TO
come home and the anxiety over the
right kind OF a peace settlement has
made the winter one OF sober thoughts.
But now comes the promise OF
spring and the birds. Soon We viii be
enjoying dandelion greens. the green
grass and flowers. The future is more
certain. We live in the new hope OF
better and brighter days.

guished in Paris during 1892 for the
violence Of his revolutionary sentiments
and his denunciation OF all kings and
nobility. In 1915 he met another Off
Ger, Napoleon Bonaparte, also out of a
job at that time, and tine two became
friends.
Napoleon's rise is well known; Mu-
rat rose with HIM. He was born
soldier, fearless, headstrong,s and a
mastery leader of cavalry charges.
Many a battle was Won for Napoleon
by some reckless but successful charge
led by Murat. And finally, he married
Napoleon's sister and was created
king of Naples.
And now this denouncer Of kings be-
came a very ardent autocrat, swag-
