who was holding on to/a strap. as be

seated near the ea sto:e. "you have a

"Hey W' t's that," growled the
young il. - ooking at him sidewise.
"I say ou have a remarkable mus
tache."
"",.tist let it alone, will you'"
/Yes. I'll Ict it alone. I'm not a bar
ber, you know. Still, there can't be
any harm in telling a man, when he's
got a mustache like yours, that it's
something worth while looking at.
You'll pardon me for calling your at
tention to the fact that it grows
straight out from your lip for about
an Inch, at a right angle, and then
most of the hairs turn directly up,
while the others turn directly down.
That shows it's natural. It couldn't
be waxed so as to stand out that way.
It's like the long arm of the letter F".
A man couldn't train it in that shape
in a million years. I don't suppose,
now, you ever took two looking glass
es and stood so as to get a side view of
that mustache, did youy'
'None of your business." responded
the young man. "I'll thank you to at
tend to your own affairs, if you have
any, and let mine alone."
"JvCt so," placidly repiled the other.
"Some people like to have their pecul
iarities pointed out to them and some
don't. It's all in th way you look at
it. You are not asking ny advice, of
course, but if I were in your place I
should trim that thicket, that chap
aral,'that .:heval-de-frise, as we would
bay in French, close to the lip. and
then it wouldn't attract general atten
tion. Most men, I dare say, look bet
ter with a mustache, but that's prob
ably bec-ause it hides their mouths. In
your case, now, it doesn't hide the
mouth at all. It runs right away from
it. It's out of the question to"
"Say, if you don't want to get your
head punched. you shut up: You've
got more blamed gall than any man I
ever saw. Mind your own business."
"Certainly, certainly. That's all the
thanks a man ever gets for trying to
be an altruist in his own way. I re
member I once called a fellow's at
tention to a wig he was wearing. I
told him it was all right, considered as
a wig, but he didn't think it fooled
anybody. It was so palpably a wig
that it gave itself away as soon as you
looked at it. I could see that he
thought it was a perfect imitation of
the natural hair, but it wasn't, and
somebody oughl' to tell him it wasn't.
That was the position I took. lHe got
angry, just as you're doing. bat I
didn't mind that. I'm always getting
peopile down on me when i'm trying to
do them a favor, -just in that way, and
I suppose i always will be'. I don't let
it bother me as much as I used to.
Still, .young man, I wouM adv'ise yout
not to go punching heads.''
"Why not, sir?' demanded the owu
er of the bristling mustache belliger
ently. "WXhat would you do'"
"Nothing. B~ut some of these women

GOOD ROADS NOTES, I
State Aid For Good Roads.
The progress ma'e in the develop
ment of good rural highways by thos,
States that have adopted what is knowi
as the "State aid" system furnishe
abundant evidence that the systen
embodies the only plan that will pro
vide a State with country roads tha
are of any permanent lue to the agri
cultural interests.1
It has taken an endless amount o
agitation and education to convince th,
farmers that old methods of road
building must be abandoned. WhilE
admitting the need of better highways
the average farmer has always resentei
any atempts to impress upon him hi
obligations to the State at large in thi
matter of supporting practical scheme:
for road construction. He has alwayi
regarded road building as his owi
affair. to be carried on according t<
his individual whims and convenience
As a rule he has subordinated the mat
ter of highways to other work on thi
farm, unmindful of the fact that im
proved roads add immeasurably to thi
value of his land and its products.
That the State aid system has solved
the problem of country roads improve
ment to the farmers' satisfaction i
shown by Otto Dorner, chairman o
the national committee for highway im
provement of the League of Americal
Wheelmen, in an article in the Forum
This system has been adopted in vari
ous for_., by New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New York and Massachusetts, whili
in many northwestern States, notabli
Wisconsin and Minnesota, constitu:
tional obstacles to State aid have re
cently been removed. The systen
divides the cost of road improvemen
between the State, the county and th
owners of abutting property. Improve
meats are made only upon a petitiot
from' the o.-ners of abutting property,
stating the character of the improve
ments to be made and consenting to ar
assessment of their property to cove,
one-tenth of the cost. When the im
provements are completed the Statc
pays to the county one-third the cost
the county paying the remainder oui
of its treasury.
The system properly leaves the ini
tiative in the hands of the farmer, ani
relieves hini of the largest part of the
cost. As the success of the systen
ha: been amply demonstrated it wouli
seem that Illinois cannot afford to las
very far behind the procession of
States that are certain to adopt it iv
the near future..-Chicago Timea.

Our Great National Enemy.
Mud is the greatest enemy this na
tion has to contend with. Tho alleged
wrongs inflicted upon the Cubans and
Filipinos, by Spain, are as nothing tc
the want, squalor, ignorance and dis
tress occasioned by' mud in this, ouw
own fair land.
Mud impoverishes our farms, de
stroys business, breeds disease, fos
ters isolation and ignorance, and
thereby increases crime.
Mud costs this country more money
every year than it would have re
quired to purchase Cuba peacefully.
The most humane, Christianizing,
civilizing "expansion policy" this na
tion could inaugurate would be one
for expanding the good roads from one
end of the country to the other.
Mud has imprisoned and enslaved
thousands of families in our own
proud domain. "Freedom" to them
is but a dream. They are bound and
shackled-by mud. They are not per
mitted to enjoy the privileges of a jail
"trusty." They cannot go to the
neighbors and the neighbors cannot
come to them. The postman cannol
convey to them the daily papers and
other great voices of the living world.
They cannot con verse with their fel
lowmen. Their ears and their month!
arc bestopped w:ith mud.
Millions for war, but not for peace,
External expansion, internal decay.
The mnost up-to-date warships; the
most out-of-date mud roadAs. Every
thing~ for the heathen; most any oh
thi:im for the folks at home.
The legislator who votes million!
for foreign conflicts and opposes ap
propriating a few thousauds for in
ternal improvement, in the way o
bettering the highways, is a man wh(
would rather- daub war paint on hi~
face than to receive the grace of Go
in his heart. As has alr-eady been re
marked, "We want good roads."--L.

Owing to recent rains and sofi
weather, the roads on Long Island

Even that is a double burden for th<

Edison's Plan for Removing Snow.
Edison's latest suggestion is that
snow can be removed from city streets
not by melting machines. but by port
able steam power compressors, which
will scoop up the snow in steel scoop
buckets and squeeze it into cakes 12x
12x12 inches in volune, which will be
practically solid ice. Carts and men
following the compressor can take up
the cakes with tongs as they drop to
the street, says Edison, and a market
can be found for enough snow cubes to
pay the interest on the cost of the
machinery.
