Tires for lieavv AVngon The Vermont Legislature has adopted a law requiring heavy wagons to have wide tires How to jMnkc Use of Convicts There can be no reasonable objection to the employment of convicts at road building It seems practically assured that the public highways will never be improved as they ought to be in any other wax and therefore the danger of bringing convict labor into competition with free labor is very remote In Eu rope it has long been the policy to build and improve roads with convict labor and some of the finest highways in the world are the result of that policy Leader A Stnte with Good Roads The annual report of the State Com missioner of Public Roads in 2sTew Jer sey is a document of great interest and importance at the present time when in many of the States the almost uni versal desire for good roads seems about to crystallize into laws looking to systematic and permanent improve ment of the public highways Six years ago New Jersey set out intelligently to provide the State with good hard smooth roads and within that period 1400000 has been expended by the State counties and individuals on per manent roads of which sum the State expended 4G0ui3 leaving nearly 1 000000 which has been raised by the counties and individuals to meet the State appropriation As a result of this expenditure 300 miles of the most fre quented highways have been perma nently improved on modern lines the antiquated highways having been turned into smooth hard roads with foot paths and cycle paths and beauti fied by trees and shrubbery whereby the appearance of various communi ties has been so changed that they have become attractive centers of set tlement Convinced not only of the popularity of the good roads idea but of its practical benefits as well the Commissioner recommends an annual State appropriation of 300000 and in his plea for this appropriation says Such an appropriation would give to each county each year a healthy mile age the taxation to meet which would not be burdensome probably no more on the average than one eighth per cent on the ratables and would result in an annual expenditure of more than 1000000 for improved roads a rate that would soon place us in a position to attract millions of capital for invest ment and thousands of progressive citi zens for permanent residents Improved highways give new life io the country through which they pass as they are often thronged with bicy cles and other pleasure vehicles So anxious are the people to avail themselves of the fostering aid of the State in the matter of good roads that in many cases petitions of certain com munities have been on file for years And in Massachusetts not more than 15 per cent of similar petitions could be acted on last year for lack of State funds New Jersey and Massachusetts have demonstrated the value of good roads 0 a community and as a result the fear of increased taxation which has in other States prevented in some cases the adoption of a liberal and sys tematic plan of road construction has been completely overcome farmers and all others being eager to add to the at tractiveness and value of their lands in this way In this work of permanent road im provement the good roads leagues and associations formed throughout the State have been an important factor in educating public sentiment Too much stress says Commissioner Budd can not be laid upon the importance of these associations There is no power so useful as that which persuades each and every person or community to do their best to help themselves by their own labor and contributions Such leagues and associations should be formed at once throughout Illinois and the work of improving and beauti fying this great State by a system of splendid highways should receive the most careful attention of the present Legislature As a motto for good roads associations it would be difficult to improve upon that of the advocates of good roads in New Jersey Good roads decrease taxation de crease living expenses increase prop erty values Increase farmers incomes increase railroad business promote prosperity promote civilization Chi cago Record American Men and Women An elevator in the American Tract Society Building in New York City broke the other day and tne platform fell from the tenth story to the srouud There were nine men and one woman on it at the time of the accdenr The leg of one man was broken the arm of another and all were injured more or less by the terrible shock The voman escaped unhurt it is said because ihe men all stood close togethe a id lift ing her above them in the air saved her from any concussion more severe than a jar Each man there must have felt that there was a chance of his death in the next minute The prompting in these men that led them with one im pulse to save her was not because siie was especially pretty or young or old but simply because she was a woman Nor did the act receive any marked no tice from the newspapers It s natural and usual for American men to protect any helpless woman A chamber in the British Museum filled with relies of far away centuries offers a picture which indicates the dif ference in the position of women of former days and now Huge friezes and the bas reliefs carved upon the famous Harpy -to nib show glimpses of the habits and customs of nations so long extinct In these the harpies the vicious friends and the wlciced prison ers are all females while the gods and heroes who are trampling and thrust ing them down into torture are all men No race ancient or modern has ever given to the weaker sex thu universal honor paid to it by the American man A witty woman with quick seeing eyes and keen perceptions who had traveled much said An Englishman is not rude to a woman if she belongs to a higher class than his own a Frenchman compliments her if she is young and pretty but an American takes care of her though she be old and ugly and poor because he believes her to be gentler and better than himself The American woman should con sider long before she risks the losing of this prerogative by becoming a loud boastful weak imitation of a man Saved by a Hatchet Golden Days tells a story of a pros pector in Alaska who in company with eight other men was walking across a great ice field At one place a thin sheet of ice hid from view a crack about three feet wide The party approached the crevasse diagonally the prospector in advance when suddenly he and the next man in the line slipped through the thin coat ing of ice and disappeared in the chasm below Their cries narrowly prevented some of the others from meeting a simi lar fate The second man carried a gun and as he held on to it the weapon lodged crossways in the crevice and enabled him to be rescued but the prospector went down at least seventy five feet and was tightly jammed between the walls of ice He could not be seen but his voice could be distinctly heard directing the movements of his rescuers Blankets were torn into strips and tied into a rope This was lowered to the impris oned man who fastened one end around his body When the rope was pulled however it was found that he was jammed in so tightly that he could not be moved without tearing him asun der The rescuers were in a quandary but the Imprisoned man suggested that they lower him a hatchet and when this was done he chopped himself loose in short order Altogether he was thir ty minutes in the icy tomb and it was a week before he recovered from tho shock Indisputable Evidence The man on the bench was a typical magistrate of the cactus district He was even a greater terror than usual to evil doers because suffering the re actionary consequences of over stim tilation When the first dilapidated pris oner was brought before him the rug ged representative of the blind goddess showed his teeth Whats th charge agin this sneakin lookin coyote snarled the Court Whoopin yellin an

dogs behavior Seeing that the woman made no e fort to call off the animal the gentle man turned upon his persecutor and administered a hearty kick which made the enemy recoil with his tail between his legs and a loud ki yi Brute cried the woman to kicK a little dog like that That little crea ture sir is a pet and is unused to such treatment and she bestowed a freez ing glance upon the offender I

ALrica heap hell of coun tly The sign of a cheap person is one who waits until Valentines day to gej even with an enemy REPORTERS CHIPS FromJltP Advertiser Clinton Joica Every druggist in Clinton Iowa was interviewed to day and had good words for Dr Williams Pink Pills and not one of them -had other than good results to re port of those who had used them One of the druggists referred ine to a prom inent merchant in fJliuton whose wife had for the last five years been badly crippled and at times nearly helpless from the effects of rheumatism I was person ally acquainted with the family Mr and Mrs J II Bailey and called on them his afternoon and found Mrs Bailey very much improved since I was last there and congratulated them on her improved condition and inquired as to what means nau oeen used to oringanout tne goou results Mr Bailey said that for years they had tried one thing after another but had found nothing that afforded any relief hut they continued trying and final ly a few months since some one spoke good words for the Pink Pills as a safe and reliable remedy for rheumatic trou bles and thev concluded to try once more The Pink Pills were purchased and al though in her case there was no rapid re covery of health there was a decided change for the better and a continual steady improvement from week toveek which has given them confidence in the remedy and a belief that by their con tinued use she will soon be restored to complete health Mr Bailey told me of another case with which he was personally acquainted that of Mr George Brenizer one of the city officials for many years and that for the last two years he had been nearly help less from rheumatism but has of late been using Dr Williams Pink Pills and had been wonderfully helped by using them As I was also personally acquaint ed withhim I went out to his residence to get his personal testimony as to what had wrought the happy change in his sys tem but he has just moved to Chicago but I have every reason to believe that what Mr Bailey told me were the facts of the case as they were intimate friends Every druggist reports good sales of the pills but have but few facts outside of the demand for them but the money in the money drawer and that is in most cases all they know or care about I have called on quite a number of people tvIio have used them for nervous prostration and general debiiity and the universal testi mony is that the Pink Pills accomplished all they are recommended for I am per sonally acquainted with all the persons referred to in this letter and the facts have beer stated in each case Dr Williams Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sal low cheeks Pink Pills are sold in boxes never in loose bulk at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 250 and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail by addressing Dr Williams Medicine Company Schen ectady N Y He Toole the Joke A good story is told of a certain prom inent railway director who is equally renowned for his ability to take or make a joke A railway employe whose home is in the country applied to him for a pass to Visit his family You are in the employ of the com pany inquired the gentleman alluded to Yes You receive your pay regularly Yes Well now suppose you were word ing for a farmer instead of the com pany would you expect your employer to take out his horse every Saturday aight and carry you home No said the man promptly I would not expect that but if the farmer uad his horses out and was going my way I should call him a mean fellow if he would not let me ride The employee came out three minutes later with a pass good for twelve months Merit Wins The invention of Alabastine marked a new era in wall coatings and from the standpoint of the building owner was a most important discovery It has from a small beginning branched out into every country of the civilized world The name kalsomine has become so offensive to property owners that manufacturers of cheap kalsomine preparations are now calling them by some other name and at tempting to sell on the Alabastine com panys reputation Through extensive advertising and per sonal use the merits of the durable Ala bastine are so thoroughly known that the people insist on getting these goods and will tnke no chance of spoiling their walls for a possible saving of at the most but a few cents Thus it is again demonstrated that merit wins and that manufacturers of first class articles will be supported by the people To the Pyramids by Rail There is to be a railroad direct to the Pyramids The government has
