When the two cent fare bill was up in the legislature during the ses- sion of 1907, the railroad companies presented a proposition to that body through R. A. Wilkinson, Brown and Pierre Butler as their representatives, offering as a com- promise measure to which they would submit without opposition, as to pas- senger rates, round trip tickets, five hundred mile family mileage books good on road of issuance, one thousand mile mileage books good on any good road, all at two cents a mile flat. They also offered to continue all special and rates as before. In fact, the proposi- tion of the roads differed from the law as finally passed only in asking three cents a mile for one way tick- ets. Now they restore the cent rate because a judge has de- excursion three cided that the two cent rate is “con- fiscatory” and we will pay three tcents a mile for all travel in this state. two cent rate on everything but one way tickets and the evident large increase in travel under the two cent rate, the public will have to will believe for a minute that the latter rate is not profitable to the roads on a fair basis of figuring.— Hutchinson Leader. HOW IT WORKS. At the present time when there is so much agitation for new and im- proved roads it may be well to recite, in a general way, the provisions of the R. C. Dunn good roads bill which was passed by the Iast'legislature. The bill provides for a one-fourth jmill tax on all taxable property in the state, to be added to the State road and bridge fund, which fund is used for the purpose of the state paying one-halt of the cost of con- structing and improving roads, and is to be pro rated among the count- ies according to area, amount ex- pended for roads, difficulties and ex- ‘pense of road construction, and ex- with the territory in develop- ment of new each county. Every commission year the State highway estimates the total amount accruing to the road bridge fund, for that year, both from this tax and from other sources, and apportions to each county the sum which the state will contribute for road building in that county. and For the purpose of identifying the roads to the construction of which the state contributed by paying one- half the cost, these roads are to be designated as state roads, and are to be built in conformity with the rules and regulation of the highway com- mission, and under the direct super- vision of an assistant highway en- the highway commission. These Assistant highway engineers are ap- pointed on merits and qualifications only, and are assigned to a district counties, and are required to advise and con- or county boards, when they so request and to lay out comprising one or more sult with town and supervise the work or any town, There are at present six comets’ nightly cutting capers in the sky and the whole bunch doesn’t attracfl half as much attention as one real | star on the stage. | Former Congressman Tawney has | gone into the soap business at Win- After what happened last fall' Jim probably feels that there are a good many down that way who need‘ cleaning up. 1 ona.

Spicy Business Talks. Among the most popular-and valu- able features now appearing in any newspaper are the pungent business sermons of Herbert Kaufman in The Chicago Record-Herald. These breezy articles, printed each Sunday in big, distinctive type, have a national rep- utation. They are eagerly read by imen, young and old, in every line of business, and we believe they are do- ing more practical good than any- ithing else of the kind now appear- ing in print. Mr. Kaufman’s way of things is all his own. Somebody has icalled his husiness talk “inspired common sense, seasoned with dyna- mite.” He hits the nail on the head in every sentence—often with a: isledgehammer. He knows life and | Jhuman nature, he knows every pit- i fall that spells failure, he knows the highway to success, and, best of all, he knows how to speak the fiery word {that starts men out on that highway with beating hearts and shining eyes. His ideas are a moral tonic. With all his italics and whiplash metaphors, his advice is always sound, sane, deep rooted in the eternal principles of, right action. It would be a ndtional blessing if every young man in the land- could saying It would mean fewer failures in life. The Sunday Record- Herald has many entertaining fea- tures, but we know of none that can be read with more real zest or more lasting benefit than Mr. Kaufman's live common sense. Notice!

A charming story is told of Pasteur, the scientist, and Victor Duruy, whe der the second empire. ‘The author of the “Histoire des Romains"” was a Moreover, they were near neighbors, one residing in the Rue d'Ulm and the other in the Rue de Medicis. One Thursday, the day of the sittings of the academy, the two friends met at a cab stand by the Luxembourg. "Are you going to the institute?” asked the minister. answered the savant, and they both entered the same cab. Arrived at theit Jjourney’s end, Duruy tendered a five franc piece to the cabman, who, of course, had no change. Then said Duruy: “Keep the coin as a souvenir of this memorable ride. You have driven the greatest savhnt of the cen- tury.” Next came Pasteur’s turn. He put his hand in his pocket and with- drew a five franc piece, which he handed to the “cocher” with the re mark: “Take care of it. You have driven the greatest minister of the sec ond empire.”—London Globe. When Kurds and Turkomans Fight. Describing a feature of a fight be tween Turkomans and Kurds in Per- sia, a traveler says: “The Turkomans, who always fight on foot. were ulti- mately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were taken, and still more captives were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had Jjoined the expedition in order to se- cure a new wife. The damsel in ques- tion came up during the interrogatory and brained her captor with a stone. During these raids, past and present, the Turboman appeared to have en- joyed a great and permanent advan- tage in that neither Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women or chil- dren owing to their ugliness, The Turkomans, on the other hand, pre- ferred Persian to their own women and thus had a keen incentive, apart from the purely commercial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary.”—Chicago News. Happiness at least is not solitary. It joys to communicate; it loves others, for it depends on them for its exist- ence. B - “Yes," | R The Trade Winds. The constancy of trade winds is due |- to the permanence of the conditions which rule them. As the heated air at the equator ascends surface winds set in from porth and soath and, uniting, ascend in their turn and flow off in opposite directions. As the velocity of the earth’s revolution from east to west is much greater at the equator than at the poles, wind blowing along its surface to the equator is constantly arriving at places which have a higher velocity than itself: hence it is retard- ed and must lag behind. and under the infuence of two opposing forces it is compelled to take an intermediate di- rection, so that what was originally a north wind is deflected and flows southwest, while what started as a south wind becomes northwest. From the great service they have rendered to navigation these reliable winds are called trade winds. His Black Suit. He was not a good card player. He admitted it. His game was pingpong. But that was no reason why his part- ner should be so disagreeable when- i ever bhe made mistakes. After a particularly glaring error the pestering partner turned upon him with real anger. “Why dido't you follow my lead?" he asked “It 1 followed anybody's lead, sir,” exclaimed the novice hotly, “it cer tainly wouldn't be yours.” His partner snorted and subsided. But in the next hand he threw down his cards tu desperation. “Look here” he cried; “didn’t you see me call for a spade or club? Have ¥you no black suit?" “Yes. 1 have,” retorted the movice. with warmth *“But I'm keeping it for your funeral.” AWAKE NIGHTS Children were intended to sleep nights, When they are wakeful and.fretful, it is time to worry.
