Mr. Martin Bouse of Forks town ship, died Thursday, July 7, of ap poplexy, aged 53 years. Mr. Bouse was a highly respected citizen, and leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his loss. During the progress of the Demo cratic convention at St. Louis it was telegraphed all over the country: "The gold plank goes out." This was considered a triumph for Bryan. That old Democratic politician from New York Hill, smiled when ho agreed to h t the gold plank slide, lie knew his nominee. After the nomination was made, Judge Parker cooly informed the delegates at the convention that he was a gold man. They could take lum with that plank or they could go without him. After all Mr. Bryan was outwitUd. It is at least amusing politics. Husbands area peculiar animal. All families have at least one hut band among them, and husbands are (piite different from married men. A husband has more authority in his own house than his wife's mother. A married man can't even call his pants his own. A married man snea ks out to the stable to smoke. A hus band stalks into the parlor with a cigar in his mouth and if his wife ob jects swats her over the head with the family bible. Husbands were first invented for the amusement of the women folks. Married men were invented to henpeck.- Exchange. Lots of funny things occured in the convention at Chicago. One of them being when Chairman Champ Clark tried to make an announce ment in which he used the phrase "adjourn sine die." He called one of the men with leather lungs to his side announce it so the thousands could hear. The great voice roared out: "The committee will meet immej etly after the conventiou has ad journed, or die!" The convention roared. "Well, he has a wonderful voice, and Heaven couldn,t give one man everything," laughed Congressman Hitchcock. I THE CHANGE I Conducted by J. W. DARROW. Cbuhtn. N. Y.. Prem Corrttpttndtnt -Yew York State Orange THE GOOD ROADS QUESTION Jecretary Wllaon Addreasea the Good Hoads Conveatloa at St. Loala. Among the speakers wlio appeared before the good roads conventkm at Bt. Louis recently were Governor Hachelder of New Hampshire, who Is lecturer of the national grunge, and Secretary of Agriculture James Wil son of Washlugton, who la also a mem ber of the Order. Governor Hachelder spoke of the great need of good roads and of their Importance to the farmers. He discussed the best methods of lui proving roads and also how to Interest the people 111 the subject. Secretary Wilson, who cume on specially for the occasion, said, auioug other tilings, that roadmaking had not Improved very materially since Macadam applied broken rock, and It has come to be a question of e<-onomlc Importance to the American people. Continuing, he said: Wa have established within the depart ment at Washington an office for the study of road material. We arc failing upon young men who have graduated In engineering Institutions to take practlou! work with us* so that ws may he able to supply the demands coming from all parts of the country for men skilled in road- < making. Our laboratory Is designed to assist each locality In determining the use of mate rials It may happen to possess. Few of our towns and cities have facilities for doing this work. Many of the failures In road building In the past are due to the use of materials unstilted to the condi tions of climate and traffic. The work of the department of agrlcul- j ture along the line of road building Is In- i tended to be educational and experimental, as It Is along other lines In which It Is en gaged. 1 am well satisfied that tb« condl tlon of the public roads at the present ; time is a correct indication of ttie amount of educational work that has been done along the line of road building. If what the department is endeavoring to do now : with regard to helping to build object j lesspn roads (which has been done In ; half the states In the Union) and the i study of road material for the Information | 6t the people had been done when our government was organized the people would have understood how to build roads long befsre this time—would have under stood the values of the materials In all i parts of the United States. And 1 am j well satisfied also that when the people are thoroughly informed 111 the several , states and territories with regard to the science of road building there will be no hesitation hi levying taxee to carry on the 1 work. i Rach section of our country has prob i lems peculiar to Itself, and, to the end ; that all should have consideration, the department of agriculture has a science agent in each of our great subdivisions, bringing thein Into touch with the labora- j tory at Washington. The question will be with us always. : and roadmaklng will be cheapened as re search adds to our knowledge of mats rials. The understanding of roadmaklng will grow as related sciences are devel oped.

He must have been divinely Insured who conceived the idea of the tfiree graces—Ceres, I'omona and Fiona presiding at each meeting of the grange. The glamour of uiythotigy that envelops them, the mystical ob servances with which the most cul tured of all people encompassed them, ; lend them a dignity and charm seldom ! equaled and rarely surpassed. The j worship of Ceres "under the name of | the Kleuslnlan mysteries,ln the splen ! dor and solemnity of their observance, surpassed all other religious celebra tions among the Greeks."
