We scarcely pick up a paper, either pnklished at home o~ elsewhere, without seeing something that has been done under the influence of liquor, i aad for which this demon is responsible. This is a very regrettable state of affairs, and yet some people, who ought to know better, will advocate the sale of it in some form or other. The railroad crossings on Second and Hugee streets are getting to be dangerous. With the Increased number of trains and the Increasing amount of business on both sides of the railroad, which necessarily increases the movement of pedestrians and vehicles across the track, and thus the Increasing danger at these crossings. It is hoped that the town authorities will look into this matter and devise some scheme to safeguard (fee interests of the public. The Pnblle Roads We ean never have good roads un-1 till we have a change in the system of maintaining the roads. 11 the roads are worked by forces employed directly by the county supervisor, either convicts are hired labor. road gang goes over a piece of road, and puts it into good condition, and then goes to another piece of road. The force employed is small, and there is a great deal of work to do. The result is that a road is rarely given attention more man once a year. A road soon begins to go down after being put into good condition. A little work, at the proper time, would keep it good condition, but it is impossible, under the present system, for the road to receive this little attention at the time it is needed, and as a consefuenee, by the time the county hands get around to it again it is in about as bad condition as it ever was. We should have a system of maintaining the roads by private contract. ? , Iff pet he>tt*r results and at lew expense, than under the present system.

An old darkey driving a cab horse which stopped In every block, apparently anxious to find the end of hib journey was asked if his horse was sick, and his answer was: "No, boss, he ain't sick; he is Just doing like lots of folks. He is just trying to get a living without worklag for it." The world is full of men and boys Who, like the old horse, are trying to get a living without working for it. They do a little work; they travel along for a short distance and then they stop, discontented, or with some kind of an excuse to keep from worktag, hoping to be able to get a living without earning It. What a contrast between the horse that stop* In every block, and has to ha urged on, and the thoroughbred horse that, If need be, will go at full peed until he drops in his tracks! The contrast Is equally as great between the man or boy who halts, or hesitates over his work, is slow and Idle about It; who never originates or Initiates anything, but in a humdrum way plods along, anxious for even ehance to quit, and the boy or the man Who goes at his work with eager zest, determined to conquer.?Baltimore Manufasturers' Record. That the above is true every reader of The Chronicle knows. It describes accurately conditions to be seen in everyday life In every community. The man or b07 who does just as little work as possible, who takes no Interact In hla own affal.'s or in the affairs f hla employer, will never amount to a row of pina, while on the other hand the man or boy who isn t always watching the clock for the closing hour of buainess, who studies his eraployer'a interest and makes himself indispensable, he is the man or boy who will achieve things. Sever Another Food Famine. Officials of the federal agricultural department say that there Is no danger of a shortage of food stuffs in the United States for since the South has discovered the process by which cotton seed can ee turned into meal or flour, a short wheat crop would not areata an advance in the price of bread. Cotton seed meal, say officials of tha department, is a good substitute for flour, although it has not the light jcolor of wheat, but, its nutritive qualties exced that contained in wheat. I If the men engaged in producing cotton seed meal advertised the merits of cotton seed meal and quoted from the reports of the experts of the agricultural department, which places that product in the front rank of food stuffs, the demand for it would soon grow to such a point that cotton seed meal would be a close second to wheat. An Odd Apology. This is the classic apology of a celebrated statesman of the last generation: "Mr. Speaker, in the heat of debate I stated that the right honorable gentleman opposite was a dishonest and unprincipled adventurer. I have now, in a calmer moment, to state that I am sorry for It." Tho Elevator Man's Joke. Hobbs?I guess the elevator is out of order. What is that sign on the door?

A physician while talking with a group of friends remarked: "It is common to bear people speak about poisonous serpents. Serpents are never poisonous: they are venomous. A poison cannot be taken Internally without bad effects; a venom can. Venoms ?/\ ho offor>fIro hnvfl to ho lntected dl rectly Into tbe circulation, and this is : the manner In which tbe snake kills.

"My dear," he said to her, "1 saw something today that I hope I shall never be pained to hear of yon doing." "What was that, papa?" the daugbter asked. "I saw little Mary Goodgirl stick her tongue out at a man today." The child, evidently thinking that it was an occasion to tell of the fnalts of the other girl, said: "Papa. I saw Mary"? The doctor interrupted and told the child she must not gossip and if she knew anything that was not nice about anybody sae must keep it to herself. The child looked at her father and then said quickly: "Well, papa, why did you tell me about Mary?" The physicinn was so surprised be could not answer.?Philadelphia Times. His Only Blemish.
