Thev | figured thai a road built of crushed'-) stone would not only endure the con-I (< slanl traffic of iron-fired vehicles, bill would improve because the metal-bound wheels would be constantly clashing I lie stones and forming ^ rock dusl. Thai dust would, they argued. not merely sift itself into all *' 'racks and interslices. but would till 1 all surface inequality's and whyi wot (l would be rolled into a smooth, im- ' pervious, water-shedding, shell-like s surface. |' They reasoned well, built wisely, \ and lor over u century and a qnartor I lie so-called macadam road did ' e\cry!Iiing llial Ibe famous Krone j and Scotch highway engineers claim- ' cd il capuble of. || cunie lo he the (1 ideal road for suburban sections, ami :1 thousands of miles were (mill.

Prior to (he advent of the aulomobile the roads improved, but the mod- :1 orn speed vehicles had not been Ira- '! versing I he modern highways long before a pronounced retrogression of s fhe most generally traveled s|retches avus very noticeable. Complaints eamo n from tanners and from dwellers along S suburban roads that a great dust a nuisance bad also sprung up and n that emerald lawns were taking on ibe hue ol London fog and that box hedge was dove grey rather than green. Fruit farmers noted (heir pro- r diifes becoming grillv and prices 'fell off. Investigation proved at once that fhe now conditions had been created a by the automobile and highway en- d 'gineers in every civilized land began |j studying Ibe new condition and seek- | mg for a remedy. In this country, ? Director Pago conducted a series of interesting experiments.

It was decided to summon j the thought, skill and intelligence of , tho world to combat a condition which t means groat financial losses and the , official invitations to tho congress were sent out, the French govern- | wont formally requesting the United, ] States government to parficiplato in ^ tho congress. ^ That President Roosevelt is per- c % sonally so deeply interested iu the coming gathering as to sond the director of roads and his distinguished associates to P'ranco may by some be regarded as cvideuco of a national awakening to the vast importance good roads are to the nation. Invitations have been transmitted through tlie office of public roads to Hate highway commissioners, city engineers and park commissioners to attend the congress and already a number of delegates have been selected.

I A WOLF HUNT. n Which Cyanide and Strychnine Were Used to Kill. * t With the object of learning more I bout our enemies, and in the hope of t rawing attention to this wolf question, it was after many weeks of an- t icipation and preparation that five of ? is at lost made a ;-r.irt on Jan. 17, | lound for the Kippewa district of 1 Quebec, close to the Ontario boun- 'I arv, which locality wo had lieaid, i fas a likely one in which to do some 1 xeeulion. Two of our members had t (receded us some few days to select ( i good camping site and look the < :roiind over. The next day at noon t ire reached Nipigon station on the < 'anadiau Pacific railroad, the end of < dir train journey, and oh! what a lay il was?blowing a gale and snow- I ng hard. Any idea of making an im- I iiediato start lo find our camp out on | he shores of a lake many miles dis- ( ant was out of the question?at least, < hat was what our teamsters said. < lowovor. the first breath of the fresh s lir had aroused an appetite which 1 vas not to be denied, and, having sat- 1 slieil Unit appetite at the hotel, at 4 i >'clock in the afternoon, as the wea- I her had somewhat abated, we In- j luced our teamsters lo make a start, i \\ o wore arrayed in full outfit, and 1 hough the temperature was well be- ( ow zero and a strong wind blowing, < ,vp were perfectly snug and warm. i\ e only made slow progress when we rot on the lake, (he horses having to, i proceed at a walk, owing to the heavy snow and slush. Wo were beginning to havo had enough of the slow progress when we sighted a lumberman's stopping place. A suggestion to mako a stop for tea being hailed with delight, our drivers put on a spurt, and upon reaching it was received a cherry welcomo from the owner and his wife. As the v.-/atftor was very bad again, and the moon of no particular use, hidden by snow and leaden skies, we decided ro spend the night where we were. There was only one spare room, but it was a large one, so, having east lots for the bed, the rest of us.i-tct'i .*.;? ? *c floor space. The next morning the temperature v as 80 bel<w zero, but our one day in the open had already hardened us, so, dii the right of a goo*"! breakfast, we left the house at 7 a. m. It seeinimI incredible to us that the cold was really so intense, lint when we readied a large stretch of open lake we were ready to believe 7n any reading >f the thermometer. We had no difficulty in finding tlie camp, which was situated on an island. Our tirst diock was finding that our guides had left half our blankets behind at the lumberman's place, but the weather changed suddenly anil became quite mild. This change seemed good to I lie new members, but tlie old hands knew the sort of snowshoeing there i would be. Our tents were pitched on j Ihe hare snow, the centre pole being j I lie stove pipe, and the stove was tn ' inverted iron nine with no bottom. This may sound slr.-nge to English- I nen, hut the fires burned splendidly. We had hot water day end night. I in?l the pineapple toddies, when ad- ! ninistercd to the members and j rnides in that sociable round tent once : nice every twenty-four ohurs, at night ' villi our feel toward the round stove, i 1 nosed the otherwise very tight guide's i ongues, and from tliein we heard : wmie very good stories of their ex- J H'rienee. J! The days went by full of enjoy- j1 licnt. eacli member gaining health at 1 i gallop, but with all our exertions ,ve had not secure 1 any wolves. We herefore decided that we would trvil he effect of poison. Wolves had kill- ' >d four deer within three miles of | inr camp, and though we had heard < hem at night at a distance we were < mable lo get at them. The poison s ve tried tirst was canide of potas- ] iium, but though our ?5aits were takm by both wolves and foxes, the dose' ve gave them (about as much as vould stay on a sixpence) seemed on- i y t<> have temporarily upset ffiem, as, j ifter seeing evidence of illness in the I shape of staggering steps and dragring paws, these steps again became | egular. showing that either we had | lot given the right dose or had erred j n some other manner. With stryeli- ! line we were more successful, finding | < 'our dead wolves. So the days passed. and our ten days were gone before we realized it; but though we i lad sliot no wolves, we hod gained ij: ot of experience al"?ut their habits, ' lad laid in a new stock of health, and < )roved that a holiday can be spent in ' he woods in the depth of winter i vitli no discomfort whatever.?Lon- !

Gould, ' hen Miss Edith Kingdon, but few lave heard of her early struggles ' 'or fame and victory. { Miss Kingdon's tirst appearance on ] he professional stage was made in Newark, Nr. J., in the "Two Or- ' lhans," says a writer in the New) dea Woman's Magazine for July, j' The following year, 1883, she was do- L ng Eve in the play of "Youth," and 881 found her struggling with a hankless role called l'alnia, where >ven her ambitious spirit began to lroop under a mana^smeiit that oft- J inies forgot pay-day and cruelly eonlenined the company to weeks of j nie-nighl stands. Hut brighter days were just about 0 dawn; even then the .good ship ] 'ortunatus was cntenng port with a ' >recious cargo for our young actress, ^ne night in Host on August in Daly >trolled into a theatre and was at ' nice attracted by the personality of ( 1 beautiful girl playing a minor role. ] icing a man of action, it was not long leforc Miss Kingdon and the great nanager came to terms, and at once ' ie engaged her for a pari in a new day he was about to produce. Thus t came to pass that pretty Edith 1 Kingdon opened in Daly's Theatre, j ] October 7, 188-1, in a German comedy ] ailed "A Wooden Spoon." I i The songs you can not recall are lot the good songs.
