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.

continue to throw away many thousands

"A Living Without Working For It."
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."

The Serpent'e Venom.
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

Her Qoodby.
She was one of those very gushing,
effusive ladles who occasionally infest
newspaper offices, and she bad been
admitted Into the sanctum of the managing
editor of the paper on which
Homer Davenport was cartoonist, recites
the Saturday Evening Post. Mr.
Davenport was in the room at the
time. When the time came for ber departure
she flrst grasped the hand of
the managing editor, saying, "Qoodby,
Mr. Nlles, goodbyl"
Then, turning to the assistant managing
editor, she also shook him effusively

A noted doctor believes in training
children to reason for themselves, and
this policy be carries ont with his own
child, a little girl of eight, and be tells
a story in connection with her with
great glee.
"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?"
