Thirty years ago Standing EMc caino to Major James McLaughlin, the author of "My Friend the Indian," and said, "Father, my wife will die today and she wants a coflln fr*-m you." The major aBked him what the ail merit was and ho replied; "Just nothing but thnt she hoard the ghoBts calling and muBt go." Homebody had told her, it turned out, that she was sick, so sho had "painted for death," and all her relatives had gathered about to bemoan her?and Incidentally divide her property as noon as she was dead. There was no use in the major's arguing about it, so ho had the cofJln made. In many cases those "painted for death" are actually bullied into dying, but Mrs. Standing Elk was stilt too vinorous. Finally in desnair sho carried the coffin into the house on her own shoulders and several years later the major Baw it still standing on end in her house. Shelves had been lifted into it, and it was doing duty as a cupboard.?I'ittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. A CHAIR ?OF GOOD ROADS. The directors of the Texas Sfata Agricultural and Mechanical College have determined to establish a good roads chair in that institution and their action is wise and commendable. Young men who are studying scientific methods of farming will be nono the worse off for knowing something about scientific roadmaking. Farms nnri mails lire eenernllv nrettv elnsn together?in fact a farm Is not a deBirablo possession unless there is a passably good road leading to it. Farmers ought to be interested in the road question, for in most localities they pay most of the taxes that go to the maintenance of highways. They do practically all the routine road work in States where the "Warningin" plan prevails. As to the indirect tax that is entailed by bad roads no one suffers more from it than the farmer. Despite these faets there aro many farmerB who are surprisingly indifferent to road improvement. Some of them, having known nothing but had roads all their lives, are content to plod along in the same old way their ancestors plodded. Others are affrighted hy the prospect of Increased taxation or do not realize the worth of a good road to a rural community. The young man who wants to become educated in farming is a progressive individual and is not going to be satisfied with running a farm on the conventional pattern that was handed down to him from his great grandfather. This young man expects to do things on a different plan. He is a believer in improvements and it is a safe bet that he is a believer in good roads?or will be by tho time ho gets back home from college. It Is this young man who must bo rolled upon to keep tho world from going "supporloss to bed," and it is highly appropriate that ho should ho taught something about road building. ?Louisville Court or* Journal.

The Good Roads Question. There are so many reasons foi good roads In the South that the subject could be discussed from now on. The sole cause of bad roads, however, is the indifference of Individuals. Men meet and blow off a lot of steam and resolute only to go back home and wait for the other fellow to start the work. The only hope is in perfect organization with a definite end in view? an organization that has some financial resource, and that is made up pntirely of people free from politics. So far as possible, the board or members at the head of such an organization should be made up of men scattered in all directions, and as far apart as possible in the territory to I be Improved. This will prevent any j clique or taction getting together and scheming to improve certain sections of the territory to be improved, and incidentally securing options and , gobbling up real estate along the line of improvement. This form of ; graft is what brings about much of ; the protest usually heard from small ( property owners who feel that they | are already tax-ridden. And their \ complaint is not without just cause often. The people who should take the most interest in good roads are tho | farmers. It means to them: Highways over which to haul t.heir crops to markets. Smooth, good roads that will save their time, and preserve their hardworked and high-priced live stock. Better facilities for sending their , children to school. Enhancement of their farms' values (for every man covets a wellkept. profitable farm facing a good road). In Davidson County, Tenn., in the wonderful bluegrass section around Nashville, the highways are dotted with profitable dairy farms. Tho great roads stretch for miles like white sheets ("pikes" they are cnlled up there), and in that section there Is no cry of "back to the farm." The greatest, iron dig seeing *.o ue 10 duuu up cities. What a sight it is to visit that section and notice the things you don't see. No farms without live stock, no idle fields, winter or summer, no unpainted farm homes, no isolated rural school houses, no big plantations rented to ignorant whites and negroes while the owner lives in a city mansion. Those folks live and die within their own domain and hand their lands down to the next generation. They are content with tlieir lot and live on the fat of the land. Their homes face the beautiful pikes and are surrounded by great groves and rolling, well-kept lawns. They do not call themselves farmers. They simply own a place where they raise everything they need. Fast horses carry them to and from town miles away. Automobiles carry them to the theatres and bring them home at night. Those folks are good roads cranks. Invariably the man who takes the least interest in good roads Is tho lenow wr.o owns a vast aiuouui 01 property. Ho is too greedy to sell that part of his land that he cannot till himself, and yet he is not willing to enter in a movoment that might so improve his land that the assessor will raise his tax. One of the greatest evils in the cotton belt to-day is the owning and controlling of vast plantations, and the renting of these lands by the owners who sap a living from the toil of poor white people and negroes ?"share croppers." The breaking np of these plantations will make our country the richest in the world. Good roads will break these up. The owners will groan under the ^ax and they will bo compelled to relinquish their holdings to people who are farmers and who want to farm. ?A1 em phis Ne ws-Scimitar. IMMMI riinm. Farms and roads are generally pretty close together?in fact a farm is not a desirable possession unless there is a passably good road leading to it. Farmers ought to bo Interested in the road question, for in most localities they pay most of the taxes that go to the maintenance of highways. They do practically all the routine road work in States where the "warning-in"' plan prevails. As to the Indirect tav that is entailed by bad roads, no one suffers more from it than the farmer.?Louisville Courier-Journal. Where Wo (Jet Asbestos. More than four-fifths of the world's supply of asbestos comes from tho Province of Quebec, in what is known as the serpentine belt, running through the counties of Thetford, Coleralne, Robertson and Rroughton, about 100 miles from Montreal. While the history of the Industry dates back to 1877, it has only expanded to its present proportions during the last few years. The province has already produced over $25,000,000 worth of asbestos, and is now averaging $2,000,000 worth a year.?* Chicago, Journal.

"Formaldehyde is a good fly killer and can be used with splendid re- j i suits," said A. P. Pannill, assistnnt "We tried it last year and found It I very effective. Put two teaspoonfuis of formaldehyde in a plate or saucer," said Mr. Pannill, and place tho vessel in a light place and the (lies will go to it. After drinking the poison they will fly away and Boon fall dead. While the flies will drink the formaldehyde if it is plac! ed in any part of the fooiu, the result will be better if the vessel containing the stuff is placed where it hi light, because the light attracts i the flies and for that reason many more will bo put out of existenco j than if the receptacle is kept in a I dark place. To place the saucer or plate in or near a window early in the morning will get tho reBt results." A Package Mailed f-ree on Request or MUNYONS PAWPAW PSLLS ^ The best Stomach and ..
