LONDOX , July 24. ( Special to Tun UGH. ]
No slnRlo work written n-ithtn the Inst 2.V )
year * has Imd unlvnuully so wholesome In
fluence as hunk Walton's "Complete
An lcr , " imtl I can call to mind no other
writer who tins , during the same period ,
through his sweet anil culm personality nnd
wurk , so held , If often unwittingly and un *
rcullrcilf what may bo termed the literary
conscience of mankind so tenderly close to
the traiiriulllztng touch ot nature's out
stretched tcndor hand.
This Is not only n fact of excellent signifi
cance as showing the vnluo nnd permanency
of purity nnd simplicity In all art , but It Is n
tribute to the hoalthfulncss of motive hi
sought-for source of Inspiration by literary
people ; and Its accuracy Is easily shown , II
needs ho , In nn impressive manner by cltn <
tlon , contrast and Illustration fron the hcsl
known literature between Walton's tlmo and
this. In many Instances It hus boon clearly
acknowledged by literary men themselves ,
In others the Identification Is so clear and
true as to admit of no possible doubt. The
frankest , though still Indirect , aud tlio most
clearly traced Indebtedness of this prompt
Ing influence to nature-loving In these whose
pcnlus.transmlts the same loving quality u
others , Is mailu by that master of Ungltsl
prone , Washington Irving.
While under the spell of Walton ho be
came for the nonce an angler. "I hookct
myself. " ho charmingly confesses , "Instcat
of tno fish ; tangled my line In every tree
lost my bait ; broke my rod , until 1 gave U |
the attempt In despair , nnd passed the daj
under the trees , rending old Izuult , satlsllci
that it was his charming vein of honest situ
pltclty and rural fcollnir that had howitchci
mo , and not the passion of angling. " Wi
nru certainly largely Indebted to this be
witchmcnt by Walton of Irving for thu
ruinbllni ; , nature communing mood whcuci
was Jllturcd through his loving fancy thi
.folk loroof the legend haunted Hudson , am
gave us the sweetest nnd bcntof all his worl
in those tender talcs of the Sketch Book ,
Worilgworth'rt Trlliutn to Walton.
No less undeniably , and far moro con
Eclously and direct , has Wordsworth , him
self dlvinu interpreter of nature's holies
moods and influences , paid tribute to Wai
ton's powcr'for purest inspiration , llo toll ;
us of "meek Walton's heavenly memory,1
ono of thu most beautiful expressions o
praise and reverence to 'be found in our lati
gunge , and in the same tribute to Walton'
Lives of Hooker. Sanderson , Wooton , Donn
and George Herbert , Wordsworth agai
bursts forth in this incomparable strum G
eulogy.

Pages could be llllcd with most uriefl
noted admissions by the Immortals of th
gentle angler's subtle pouer to draw thei
to the over-living fountain of purity , sin
plicity and truth. Justly then , I/aak Walto
nnd his work must bo framed In u ditTcrun
perspective than that of their common !
accepted setting. He must not be inerel
regarded ushonest Izaak Walton , father c
thu gcntlo art of anirling. " There were nbl
writers before his time upon this ongngln
diversion. Most of what ho wrote , as purel
Instructive , has been more than half
century out of date. Ono must bo moro tha
R deft and successful angler to bo a dlscipl
of Walton , and this truly lovable epithet i
almost universally misapplied. I would sn
then that thu name and fame of Izaak Wa
ton Increase with the centuries because
truly good and sweetly pious life with
glorious genius constantly shine clean
ind brighter through his incomparabl
pages into our later and bettor understam
Ings. His "Complete Angler , " which it mui
bo remembered is also the "Contomplatl\
Man's Recreation. " is nn impcrishab
ihrino in the world of letters , because , aftc
Iho bible , it Is the mqst perfect guide to th
ivorship of nature and nature's Go

Attuned to tlio God-sent harmonics of natui

that time is no moro. Loiter and dulvo i
ono may about old Fleet street nnd Chancoi

of Walton nnd his timo. So fur as I a

Undoubtedly Dovo'U.ilo , the waterway of
the vagarous and Impetuous river Dove ,
forming the boundary between Derbyshire
ami Staffordshire In the romantic region ot
the Derby Peak , retains least changed the
natural scenes most loved of Izaak Walton ,
It is hero his summer months for years wcro
passed , In an almost Idvlllc enjoyment of
Ills favorite pastime , nnd in u friendship
with Cotton of so perfect u nature that It at
least exalted an otherwise characterless
man of no llttlo talent to nobler aspirations
nnd accomplishments. 1C very ono is familiar
with this strange and unequal attachment :
how Walton , almost saintly In char.ictcr ana
14 year * the elder of the blase spendthrift
and scribbler of unreadable themes , bccanio
his friend and companion In Bcrosford hall ;
how Cotton built the famous "Fishing
Houso" beside the Dove , with Us intertwined -
twined escutcheon of his own nnd Walton's
Initials and the motto , "Plscatorlbus
Sacrum , " above the door : how their affec
tion ripened until Cotton adopted Walton as
his "father" and Walton the spendthrift
gentleman as his "son ; " nnd how It all had
a riood ending when , nt Walton's request ,
Cotton aci-oinulished the best work of Ills
llfo In part second of the "Anglor , " "Being
Instructions How to Anglo for u Trout or
Grayling in a Clear Stream , " prefaced by
"Tho Hutlrcment. " or "Stanzes Irregullcrs
to Mr. Izaak Walton , " of much poetic power ,
beginning with the lines :
Furovull , Hum busy world , and may
Wo nevur nn-ot again'
I always love to Imagine this odd friend'
ship not to have been nn "unaccountable11
matter , but an afllnlty of opposltes , bugitv
nine away back there as Walton "stretched
his legs uu Tottenham hill" and first mot the
waywardi ill-directed , though undoubtodlj
appreciative and sympathetic , Cotton as
none other than Venator who. from the in
stlnctivcdofcrcnco to a great soul which made
tlm word "master" unconsciously burst fron
his lips , came by degrees of betterment
grateful love nnd reverence to know the
gen tlo angler who had saved him from him
self ns a "father" in the highest and purcsl
spiritual sense. The whole romantic viilloy I :
redolent of legend and memory of Cottoi
and Walton. The ancient Boresford hall I :
changed , but the "Walton Hiiom" Is intact
The bowling green beside the Dove is ! is I
was nearly a quarter of a thousand ye-ii-i
ago ; and tno old stone "Fishing House. '
now moro than " 0(1 years old , still stands it
Iho murmurous dale , ono of the truest tnon
union ts in England to a strange but seathlesi
friendship.
lilt-option to Class anil MUH Distinction
The distinction between classes am
masses wns immeasurably closer drawn ii
England in Walton's time than now. Fov
laymen , and particularly tradesmen , en
joyed even ordinary familiarity with men o
consequence in church and state. In thi
respect Walton was an extraordinary cxccri
tlon. All authorities hold that no man o
his time enjoyed so lofty a personal rcgari
among the noblest and most famous men o
that day. Two facts contributed to this
Though but a simple linen draper , the grace
of his perfect life and the winsome qualitle
of hie Intellect ami heart gave him not enl ;
the unqualified respect , but the unlimltei
affection of men of high dcarec.
Besides this , his relation by birth am
marriage made recognition of his personalit ,
and its logical result a matter of natural sc
qucnco. Some biographers bollovohismothc
to have been a niecn of Archbishop Cranmct
His first wife , Hachol Floud , whom he mat
rled in 10SO and who died in 1040. was i
great-grandnicco of that prolate. Ills second
end wife , Anne Ken , whom he married Ii
1C415 and who died in luO'J , was a half-slate
of Bishop Thomas Ken , author of the More
Ing and Evening hymns , and I have seen
memorial tablet to her memory , written b
Walton himself , in the Lady chapel of Woi
coster cathedral. His son , Izaak , became
canon in Salisbury cathedral , where his n
mains and these of some of his descendant
now lie.
During many of the later years of Walton' '
life apartments were constantly reserved fo
him and his daughter Anne at the Eplscom
residences of Dr. Ward , bishop of Salisbury
and Dr. Morley , bishop of Winchester , an
I the marriage of this daughter Anne to Di
Hawkins , prebendary of Winchester c.itlu
t , dral , in whose house Walton died Decembc
i 15. IfiS'J , centered still closer to historl
I Winchester , for centuries the royal capltr
of England , the closing memories \Valton' '
peaceful life , while the grand old cathedrc
hero bccanio a good man's tomb. Thus mi
morials in three of England's noblest ccch
slastical structures preserve his gloriou
name.
Because these things about Walton ar
nowhere collectively made conclso and clcai
I have dwelt upon them hero , and dcllgli
nlso to point out another remarkable fact 1
his career Illustrating how the human it
tolled secures exalted and | > owerful suster
tation from pure and cquabln physical an
moral llfo. Walton was GO years of ago whe

So as the peaceful evening of his llfo wr

CHICAGO , Aug. 2. [ Special to THE Dns. ]
On tlicso warm sunny days at the fnlr ono
sometimes becomes dreamy and listless nnd
qulto iiullrrorent to practical ntTntrs of life ,
ntul ns 1 pause to rest upon onoof thobrldges
crossing the lagoon I vviUch the people como
and go and wonder why It Is that In this
great human family , where all men nro
brothers tuid all women are sisters , the gen
eral resemblance is so gro.it. Yut no two
are Just aliko. Each Is stamped by some
peculiar individuality of form or gait or
features which marks him dllToront from
his follows.
11 lit this loitering step must bo exchanged
for ono of quicker pace , I tell myself , and
soon I stand In ( rout of the Virginia build
ing , which is nn exact counterpart of the
Mount Vernon mansion , wboro Qenoral
Washington lived ami died. In it art ) to bo
seen valuable personal mementoes upon
which it is a delightful privilcgo to giizo and
to bo able tu touch with one's own hands the
very pieces of furnlturo once in dally use in
that historical homo. Precious treasures
are these to the patriotic American heart.
They will bo guarded with reverential care ,
and handed down from generation to genera
tion until time lias crumolod thorn to dust.
In a ktnall room to the loft of the front
entrance will bolounu General Washington's
secretary , well preserved and looking almost
now , with the brass handles of tno lower
drawers brluht with recent polishing , liut
the small brass rings of the upper drawers
are somewhat worn ami bent. On the ton of
the secretary I wrlto thcso very notes , and
as I pull out the llttlo drawers and peep into
the tiny pigeonholes only : i spot of black Ink
greets the curious eye. Uut how many pic
tures in fancy glldo before the mental vision
as I touch with reverent hands the little desk
and wonder what important papers pertain
ing to the future welfare of our country may
bavo reposed therein , in those b.\ gone days
when the owner of this picco of furnlturo
was the first president of the United States.
No doubt he often rested In yonder rod up
holstered chair , habited perchance in the
selfsame blue coat with gold trimmings
that is kept in a glass case in a room across
the hall , beside his snuff box of tortoise
shell Inlaid with trold and his well worn
knife with horn handle and steel blade upon
which is stamped the date 1760. Here nlso
is a small piece at the white silk bridal
gown of Martha Washington which she
wore ut his birthntght ball. Here , too , is
preserved his original will , and one may see
the chlrography of the father of our couti'
try I for one feel quite encouraged thereby ,
In the same room is un antique piano , ttu
same style as that given to Ncllio Custis by
Washington. Onoo upon a time , no doubt , il
gave forth the music for many a merry waits
or stately minuet. But the hand that sweep ;
its yellow keys today will only bo rewarded
by a jingle of discordant notes. Among tlu
mementoes is ono that I cannot appreciate
ciato , and wonder why any one
should faney such a gruesome relic
It is a piece of the wood from which wai
made Washington's coftlu box. In this cast
also is a pistol with a history. It is of darl
wood , with barrel and trigger of iron , some
what rusty now with ago and long disuse
But the last bullet which left its rust :
throat was ilred by Aaron Burr when hi
fought that famous duel in which Alcxandoi
Hamilton lost his llfo. Half way up thii
stairway stands Washington's family deck
and I wonaor if its heavy pondulom tickoi
away the last moments that marked thi
close of the uoblo hero's earthly career.

In spite of the fact that the Nobraskt

tributed their skill to relieve , in a measure
the Darren walls , and I am proud to say , ii
praise of the women of our state , that the !
contributions outnumber these sent by tin
men and are far more interesting , with fov
exceptions. Quito a striking uicturo is tlui

Just over the stairway hangs a game picture
turo of a brace of wild ducks. The greei
and gray tones are very effective against th
sombre back ground and crude boari
fritino. Another picture by the sanu
artist , Ella Hostotter , hanirs botweei
the sldonwindows and represents a glas
bowl , in which are two bananas and som
sliced oranges. There is an excellent frul
pleco from the brush of Anna Slielton aj :
pies , green and red , two of which are re
llectod in a now tin pan. I have spoken ii
praise of this same picture before , but couli
not Joarn the name of the. artist. Iielo\
this , in a walnut frame , hangs an unpreteti
tlous bit of canvas ; the subject Is a vor ,
simple ono. "Only a Loaf of Uread , " no
bakurs' bread , but a dainty homo-made loa
that has remained in the oven long CIIC-UK !
to make the crust dollciously brown. Th
I side that was torn from n twin loaf is whit
i and llakcy and ono might imagine it stil
warm so that it would molt the butte
spread on it with the homely kitchen knifi
with horn-handled steel blade that Is phicc <
beside the inviting loaf. Mrs. Dr. Little
Hold of Palmyra , Neb , , is the artist , nnd tin
handled the subject with true fidelity , no
embellishing the homely study with any ai
tempt at elaborate background , which Is i
tones of dull ochre and dark gray. Th
value of this odd little painting In oil lies i
the fact that it Is strictly original , and I jus
suspect that the artist made that loaf c
broad with her own dainty hands.
i Miss Gertie Boon of Table Hock , Nob.
I contributes a little gem , It is hung to
high and to rot n close viuw , for it will boa

I do really covet the picture , for one woul
not weary of it in a lifetime. It Is a study c
several red and yellow cars of corn the
have been tossed upon the Darn lloor an
knocked off a lot of the kernels. Still Clint
Ing to the ripe red earn are some dried cor

intrinsic value ami if original displays tru

Wo are anxiously hoping for the deal
wail of that popular song , "After t bo Hall
Over , " It has been uung and resun ? 1
every Inhabitant of Chicago onu uvo :
visitor to the World's fair has had it dlnm
into hi * ears at all hours ami In all place
At the fair buildings it is played upon tl
exhibit plunoi , ttio ladles hum it , the stro
gamins yell it , the numerous organ grlndo
produce it in Installments of sobbing wall
the tallyho coachers toot it on their her
and Unit now nuisance of the street * , tl
piano on wheels , plays nothing else. Tl
very church bell * of Chicago soera rung
the popular air. Little strolling singers
6 and u years of ago appear frequently up
the curb tone oppotltoi the front door ,
While they lng "Afterfjjo Ball" a dhmM
old Indy adds to th brnVon-heartod melody
the Hill moro unwekpmo note * from a
breathless old nccordlinT Waked from a
restless sleep at carly'-d ' wn ono hoar the
sad refrain , or at the sMrfmn midnight hour
the drunken reveler DrnWls It forth , until
ono wishes that the Itttlo girl had never
lived to "Climb the Old Man's Knee , " or
that the old gcntlcman iad como in contact
with a live electric wfro ore the mournful
tale had fallen from Im'tVombllng ' lips.
But "llfo Is real , Hfd'ls' ' earnest. " and wo
must accept the Inevltuulo. which is to wait
with angelto patience until the song has
sung Itself out of existence , or some new
melody ( or malady ) makes its appearance.
I heard it whispered twit an appeal has
already been presented to the city council
to make the singing of "After the Ball , "
three times In succession , by ono person , a
punishable offense and the singer liable to
imincainto arrest.
A Joyful Ilnllrf.
Yesterday I saw a wandering atreot singer
pause before the house , rattle a tambourine
nnd open his mouthi I gave n weary sigh of
resignation. But that sigh was changed to
nn exclamation of delight , when ho began to
sing n parody , which was no doubt original.
The time was a little off. nnd not much
rhythm In the rhymo. But the words of
the chorus will tickle the oars of the Inhab
itants of "Furnished rooms " for thus it
ran : "Wait till the fair Is over. Watch all
the rents como down. Many's the hopes
that will vanish , after the fair. "
But rents have already "como down , "
just as I predicted last Juno. Chicago had
made arrangements to room the world , nnd
ono might well Imagine they also had de
signs on the inhabitant * of some of the
other pUnots. The world did not all como
out at once , nnd a largo nuuibcr of lodging
house keepers have already "gone broke , "
for lack of patronage , nnd people who have
waited to visit the fair until tlio present

Assuming that It is admitted to bo
doslrablo to construct correctly located
rends , the question at once nrlsos where
thcso now roads should bo located niul
how ?
Tills is n question that cannot bo
answered definitely except after the
most careful deliberation and with the
aid of complete surveys. Therefore It
must bo clearly understood that nil
remarks that nro made here are only
made in the most general way.
In the Ilrst plnco , where should these
rends bo located ?
To answer this question wo must ask
another what la the character of the
trnlllc to be handled ?
Clearly the roads nro to bo built for
the boncllt of the farming community.
Now in former centuries and before
fore the gonorul introduction of road
ways , rends wore built ns grand routes
of communication , lending from the
'
capital of a country to its 'remote dis
tricts or to the capitals of other
countries.
The conditions today nro nltored.
The railways furnish the grand routes
nnd to a largo extent the local routes.
The wagon roads nro merely to ho
regarded as feeders to the railway H.
The nearest railway station is the farm
er's market. The rnihvny utntions
should thot'otoro bo made tlio contort )
from which nil roads should radinto.
Perhaps the host way to accomplish this
vould bo to begin by cunneoting all of
.he . small railway stations in the county
vith roads located on the most feasible
outos obtainable.
Through the main valleys , such as the
lirco Papillion valleys , should each
invo roads traversing their cntiro
ength. Two or throe main roads should
u built from Omaha and South Omaha
cross the cntiro county in nn east and
vest direction. A system built in this
manner would , with its various rninill-
ations , reach every part of the county
and would place every farmer in tlio
closest possible communication with his
market.
In locating such roads the utmost
iaro should bo spent to secure the most
> raetienl routes. The divides should bo
rossod at the lowest points practical.
A.11 grades should bo carefully studied
ind the maximum adopted should be as
ow us possible. Care should bo taken
'M ' avoid wet nnd swampy ground , and
ilso to avoid spots where the snow is
inble to drift in winter. Sunny slopes
should bo clioson when possible in order
' .hat . the road may dry as quickly as pos-
ible. When it can bo done the heaviest
rndes should occur at the foot of nn
nscent , in order that they may bo over
come when the horses are f rosh and not
xhaustcd from a long climo. There
ro numerous other matters to bo ob
served in road location , but those given
are the principal ones selected from the
experience of many practical road
builders.
Careful attention to them is ns much
a necessity to successful road construc
tion as the stoppage of n leak is in any
'ino of business.
It is dilllcult to estimate- the vnluo of
so great n reform in our methods of road
instruction. In a previous article its
olTect on the cost of haulage has been
coimidered. but this is only n fraction of
the advantage to bo gained. Pages
might bo written on the great gain that
would bo felt by the farmers in thus re
moving the barriers from his free com
munication with his neighbor ttnd the
outside world. But these are questions
for the social philosopher , whereas wo
are only discussing the material bene
fits that would be secured.
Wore all traces of civilization to dis
appear from Douglas county today , nnd
none of man's work bo loft excepting our
roads for the future antiquary to judge
us by , ho would probably reason like
this : "Hero was a strange race of stupid
barbarians , who spent their energies in
herculean elTorts to elTaco the monuments
ments of nature. Thobo olTorts were
presumably for the purpose of levelling
the dilllcultios of transport , though in
the absence of further knowledge con
cerning their modes of lifo it is dilllcult
to understand their strange and illogical
methods. "
Such a judgment would bo n just ono
nnd though the antiquary may novot
render it , yet , unless wo alter our methods
ods , it will not bo many years before thi
future residents of this county will ron
'dor moro scathing tribute * to our luck o
common sense and ordinary buslnos
foresight.
