Discussing the work now being don*
by the National Good Roads associa
tion, the Denver Republican says:
That the Invention of the bicycle
would result In a movement among the
American people for the construction
ftf good wagon roads was probably not
ao much as dreamed of when wheeling
was first Introduced aa a sport and
means of exercise. It Is a fact, how
ever, that wheelmen and especially the
League of American Wheelmen have
been a potent factor In starting just
such a movement.
Horatio Earle, president of the
league, la doing a great public work at
the same time he la promoting the In
terests of members of the league by his
efforts In behalf of good roads. At the
expense of the association he sends a
crew of road builders to different parts
of the country to construct a mile or
half a mile of sample road to show the
people what may be accomplished and
to Illustrate the advantages of main
taining highways of that kind.
It is expected that In course of time
hla crew will reach Denver and that a
strip of good road will be laid from the
city out into the country. When built.
It will be firm and substantial, and It
will be available as part of any pro
jected highway that the public may In
tend at some later date to construct.
Too much praise could hardly be given
an association which enables this to
be duue.
The fact that oar roads rarely get
muddy, like those In some parts of the
hiimH region, suggests that the good
roads problem Is not one In which Col
are deeply Interested. But
that Is a great mistake. There Is as
much need of good roads here as any
where else, though the expense of mak
ing them may be less. Colorado Is a
tourist state, and circumstances there
fore demand that It have better high
way* than states to which tourists rare
ly go. Driving over the highways of
certain European countries la one of
the delights of a foreign tour to that
part of the world. Bat in the United
States such pleasure la almost un
known. Absorbed In building railroads
with wonderful energy, the Americans
have paid too little attention to wagon
roads. Bnt, fortunately, the wheel
men and others are bringing about a
better condition.
IOWA ROADS IN SPRING.
■me I. vest IBCOITHUBM
■■4 LH> «• raratn.
Business ID most of the country
towns In lowa during this spring has
been at a standstill on account of the
almost unprecedented bad condition of
the roads. Not since the great flood la
the spring of 18H2 has there been as
much water In lowa as there Is this
spring. It is a serious and dangerous
undertaking for a farmer to start to
town with an empty wagon, and to
haul a loart Is out of the question.
They either go ou horseback or on foot
when It Is absolutely necessary to go
to the poetoffice or on some other er
rand to the nearest town.
The three snowstorms In the month
et March added very much to the mois
ture that was already In the ground
and that failed to soak In because of
the frost. When thia snow melted, It
washed out many culverts and made
dangerous places in the roads. In
aome parts of northern lowa, where
the soli Is thick and sticky, the mud
clogged upon the wheels so that they
oould not turn, and whoever started
out to drive with any sort of vehicle
usually carried a spade or an ax with
which to dig the mud off. Big heaps
of It may be seen alongside of the road
where people have stopped to unload
their wagons.
Nearly every line of business has
felt the effecta of these conditions.
Farmers could bring nothing to town
to tell, and they did not come to buy.
If they happened to be out of coal,
they either homed cobs or cut down a
few trees or burned np some old poets.
In many parts of the state all sorts of
farm work has been suspended be
cause the fields are covered with water
and are almost Impassable, even by a
man on foot. The streams and ponds
are filled as they have rarely been,
promising unusual plentlfulneas of
game during the spring and fall.
ChMsiaf Tralatse •■*—*-
It was not so very long ago thai
the ideal woman was believed to be
the embodiment of unselfishness—
strong, gentle, sweet, most lovable,
most faithful, but always displaying
these gracious qualities In devoted ef
forts to enhance the glory or the good
ness of the general well being of some
other human creature, generally some
mau, who, Indeed, might be far from
Ideal, in fact, the further he was re
moved from perfection the brighter
shone the virtue of the woman's de
votion. Unselfishness was and always
will be the dominant characteristic of
the Ideal woman; bat long before Cor
nelia's time, and for generations after
her time, unselfishness took the form
»112 selfishness, which Is quite another
thing and Is not of necessity either
admirable or good.
Today no oue can look Intelligently
at the conditlou of woman, especially
la America, and not see that Indiffer
ence to self as au end has almost
ceased, and that the feminine Ideal
of selfishness, which Cornelia embod
ies, Is subtllely and surely changing.
This change Is revealing Itself at
every turn, and as we look at It we
seesaw between hope and fear. The
good and the bad, the promise and the
threat, confront any thoughtful person.
Take, for Instance, the satisfaction and
anxiety we feel In recognising all that
la Involved In the change In the oc
cupations of women. The time was
when It would have been thought un
womanly for a woman to engage In
any business or pdrsuit which was fol
lowed by men. This was not because
a woman was In point of fact less
capable Intellectually then than now,
but because the bounds of convention
were so narrow and so rigid that un
le.ia she unsexed herself she could not
pasß them. But how has come a finer
sense of fltnesa which says, "Better
let a woman Work as a man works
thaa ataal a man's strenfth to support
a woman's useless idleness." As a
result of this nobler Ideal the occupa
tlons of women have widened Incredi
bly since those days when they had
only three businesses open to them
for self support, besides domestic serv
ice—teaching. nursing and sewing.—

THE GAME CHICKEN.

The game chicken as a farmer's fowl
among the new departures. Many
good things are told of the games. The
true games ure very vigorous. They
are go«xl foragers, pushing boldly out
In search of insect food, and it is even
said that a mother hen has been known
to put up a fight against a hawk in de
fense of her brood. All these qualities
adapt th£m to farm conditions.
The true old English game is of me
dium size and fills the bill as to poul

Cornish and White varieties, are popu

CORNISH INDIAN GAMES.
the Atlantic. They are extensively
used in England and in many instance#
In this country for crossing purposes.
The hens are reported fairly good lay
ers of an egg of medium size. Chick
ens are fairly hardy and make satisfac
tory development.
Some authorities claim that, while
the Cornish are a variation on the orig
inal type in the direction of blocky
build and development of flesh, they
also mark a great departure from the
original hardiness and egg producing
merits of the type.
The Duckwing Leghorns, which are
newcomers and comparatively little
known, are said to contain both game
and Dorking blood and to approximate
closely the good points in the typical

BIQ PROFIT IN CHERRIES.
Dull Varieties the Money Makers,
With Windsor la the Leai.
The best sweet cherries I have seen
south of central New York are along
the fences where the cultivator has not
disturbed them. In northern Delaware
there are several famous sweet cher
ries in the fence rows and corners, but
nearly all of the orchards that I have
seen in which modern cultivation meth
ods are attempted have been failures.
In central and eastern New York the
■weet cherry has to be kept on medium
thin land. My father has a young or
chard that Is booming on land that
would be considered poor for farming
purposes, but the trees respond ; here to
tillage.
The sour cherries will probably do
best under high culture. While they
grow well along the fences, they need
more moisture than the sweet varieties
and pay well under the best treatment.
The dark kinds are the money mak
ers. Black Tartarian, Black Eagle,
Windsor and Dlkeman are the leading
sorts at home. There Is big money in
Windsor, and if Dikeman turns out as
we expect It there ought to be more in
It.
Sometimes the sweet cherry needs
lime and dies for want of It. Some
kinds ne«d It more than others. Tarta
rian, I believe, to one of them. Thus
writes Professor O. H Powell to ltural
New Yorker.

A MAN'S WAY.
By Katherine Harger.
"Tou was a sick man, Mr. Clark.
When I woke "Gran to stay with you
whll« I went fur the doctor. Gin went
right 'long with me to saddle Nance an
staid right with me all the way, au
'twas a right smart step too. Mountain
seemed mighty loug an steep that
night, Mr. Clark, but I wasn't skeer
td."
"But, Bess, that Mas too much to do
for me. I would never have allowed It
had I known. Of course, as I told you
before, you saved my life, and—well, if
here Isn't Ginger!" as the door flew
open and a large reddish brown dog
entered. "Tell me, Bess, what have you
been doing since I was here last sum
mer? Did you study real hard, as you
promised me you would, or did you go
to school all winter and fall in love
with the gentleman teacher, same as
the other girls?"
A flush spread over her already rosy
face as she replied: "I don't know
much 'bout love, but I didn't like that
feller teacher, an I wouldn't goto be
teached by him. The winter was mighty
long an lonesome some way, lonesomer
'an us'al. 'Bout all the 'joyments I had
was when I read your letters an the
books you sent me. Orter seen me
watch fur youh letters. I would go
down the mountain most ever' night to
see if I wouldn't git one. You didn'
write very of'en, but I s'poee you was
busy with all 'em balls an dinners an
things. 1 read the books, all of 'em.
Some of 'em had mighty long words,
an I had to spell 'em out, an w'en I
didn' know what they meant I Jest
s'posed 'em. I liked that story 'bout the
king's sister best. Mary Tudor was her
name. Do you know, Mr. Clark, if I
was beautiful an rich I would do jest
as she did. I would marry the man I
loved, an If he didn' love me—well, I
would make him, that's all; I would
make him, jest make him, love me. I
am only a dumb, know nothin moun
tain gal; no one wants me or loves me,
an I can't do nuthin. W'en I do want
tome one to love me, they won't do It,
an I can't make 'em, 'cause I am—jest
Bess, that's all."
"I declare, Bess, you're getting senti
mental. Every one loves you. You are
a dear little girl, and—why. 1 love you,
Bess. I often thought of you when I
would be out somewhere last winter. 1
would see some girl who reminded me
of you, and I would think. 'She looks
like Bessie Carr, only Bess would be
prettier than she is with those same j
togs.' Sometimes In the office I would
sit half asleep and would dream of the ,
Jolly times we had last summer—such ;
fishing and hunting trips and flower :
gathering excursions. I tell you, Bess,
you're all right. You know how to treat
a fellow. It seems a relief to get to the 112
mountains and you after putting in a J
season with so many designing girls
one meets. I'm glad you are Just the
way you are. You're my wild mountain
rose."
It was several weeks later. The trees
were filled with blossoms, likewise the
ground. The birds were singing Joyous
ly In the branches, making the earth
seem unusually attractive, but not to
the girl, who sat with a man and gin
ger colored dog beneath the tree. Her
face wore a look of sadness.
"Don't look so down In the mouth,
Bess," the man was saying. "Of course
I am sorry I must go. I hate to leave
you. In spite of my sickness I have
had a royal time and thank you for It.
I have been wanting to have a long
talk with you, Bessie, but have been

conceited enough to think you liked me
pretty well; too well, you know. I
know now I was wrong, and I am glad
of It, for you are too good a girl to fall
In love with a wild fellow like me. I
am glad you told me what you did yes
terday—that you would not be surpris

Bess, that's what Is going to happen. I
am going to marry Mildred, the girl I
talked about wfien I was sick, the girl
you kissed me for, but she will forgive
you. Bees. Don't look so sad about It.
She will come up with me the next
time I come to thank you for restoring
me to health and her.
"She is a splendid girl, and when you
come to the city you will pay us a long
visit, and you will like each other, I
know. Mildred will treat you right,
and you must come. You know you
often promised me you would pay me a
visit some day. By the way, Bess, here
Is a little trinket I want to give you to
show my appreciation of your kindness
when 1 was sick. My mother gave It to
me, and I would not part with It under
any other conditions." As he spoke he
drew from his little finger a magnifi
cent diamond ring, and, taking the
trembling hand of the girl Into bis, be
placed the ring upon her finger.
"I must go now. Kiss me goodby,
Besi." The drooping head was raised;
the kiss was eagerly given. "Remem
ber we will expect a visit if we do not
come back this summer. I will write
you when I have time. Goodby, Bess;

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or
healthy. The way to do is totakea bot
tle or glass tumbler, and fill it with urine.
If there is a sediment —a powderlike
substance —at the bottom after standing
u day and a night, there is something
wrong with the kidneys. Another sure
sign of disease is a desire to urinate often,
and still another sign is pain in the back.
If urine stains linen, tliere is no doubt
that the kidneys areaflected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary passag
es and constipation of the bowels are cur
ed bv Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy- There is no question about its
I being the best and surest medicine in
the world for such troubles. It quickly
relieves and cures inability to hold urine
and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up a number of
times during the night. For putting an
end to that scalding pain experienced in
passing urine, nothing is so good as Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. It
corrects the bad etiects of whiskey anil
beer; is pleasant to the taste, and does
not seum to be medicine at all. Diseas
es of the kidneys and the bladder often
require the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
be voided. In such cases Favorite Rem
edy should be taken without further de
lay or the disease may prove fatal. It is

GOOD ROADS ARGUMENT.
Vr*r Mall D*lN«*7 to C«ui Wtwi
Hlgkwayi Arc Kc|lml«4.
The postofflce department la trytai
to use the rural free delivery expert
ment as an argument in favor of good
roads, and where the experiment ha*
failed to Improve the bad roads along
the routes the service will have to be
abandoned.
The department has gone over the
records to see how many routes were
interrupted by the condition of the
roads last spring and has sent out,
notices that unless the roads are Im
proved to prevent similar Interruption
this spring those routes will have tc
be abandoned. The records show thai
a great many routes were Interrupted
from one to seven days last spring.
There were 40 of these routes In
lowa, 12 In Illinois, 10 In Wisconsin
and a less number in other western and
southern states. The record against
lowa Is not so bad as it seems because
that state has a great many more rural
free delivery routes than any other
state, and, like Illinois, the state suf
fers at times from bad roada which
cannot be Improved.
The department admits that It will
have to give some consideration to the
difficulty In building roads in lowa and
Illinois, where the depth of the soil
makes It almost Impossible to con
struct roads that will be passable at all
seasons of the year. It Is admitted
that there are routes In Illinois and
lowa where everything possible has
been done to make good roads, and
they have excellent roads for the great
er part of the year, but during the
spring freshets these may be lmpass
able for a few days.
The order Is meant to apply to those
routes where the people are indifferent
to the condition of the roads and have
allowed them to become Impassable
through neglect. The Inspectors will
report on the routes that are Interrupt
ed this spring, and where the Inter
ruption is due to neglect of tne roads
they will be abandoned. Where the
Interruption is due to conditions which
cannot be overcome the department
will make allowances and continue the
service.
Hut the department regards rural
Tree delivery as an argument and aD
Inducement to build good roads, and
wherever the people are Indifferent to
the advantages of the service the de
partment holds that the experiment Is
a failure. The demand for rural free
delivery 1b greater than the department
can meet with the appropriation by
congress, and It will favor those com
munities which show most apprecia
tion by building roads over which the
government can send malls with the
least possible Interruption.

" ' " THE HONEYBEE.
It* Ccrlou Jam and Ita ttmulrrtal
Little Tougur
With the closest scrutiny it be«nnes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house its tongue in Its
mouth, hut neatly.folds It back beneath
Its head. Bumblebees, when disturb
ed, have a way of thivatening with
their jaws, while the honeybee has
the more direct method of settling In
truders with her sting.
The Jaws of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite a for- I
mldable nip. Catch a bee In a net and
see how viciously It will bite at the
meshes, working its Jaws slih-ways In
stead of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement of j
the t>ee a tongue, but in reality it Is
more than this, for the whole arrange- ,
ment consists of two slender filaments 1
called maxilla?, the under lip and the
actual tongue. If a drop of honey lies ;
near the surface of a flower, tlte slen- !
der, active tongue, darting out from
the case formed by the maxilla', licks
It up with the same ease that a dog
licks a plate. Should the tube of the
flower be elongated the bee has at
command another length of tongue,
which Is shot out from within and
shuts up like a telescope when no
longer wanted.
To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa
rate It Into its component parts and
clean It out. The lengthening process
of the prolK>scls, as the tongue and its
allied parts are sometimes called, is
accomplished by a series of springs and
hinges. In addition to this telescoping
power, the tongue Is a hairy member, I
the hairs arranged In rings, the longest
ones toward the center. They assist in
lifting In the nectar and in pumping it
Into the mouth. Thence it goes to the j
honey sack.—Chautauquan.
