I believe that the correct Il 3 thing to do is that when one has some. b thing bad to say of some one, he should Sesay it first and ease his conscience after. a wards by ending with the good. Now, the only ugly things I have to say say of the "Hub' city is about its food, i and ugly only to we Louisianian fort they, (Bostonians) and others, are de . lighted over their cooking, etc. r Thb uotabte articl of food bren is the 'Boston Baked Beans,' the citizens pay t itig .gO }o00.00. a year for them, They P seesome 80,000,000 quarts of them pe annum, that being an aversae.,per capita d consumptnon of thirty seven quarts per year.

Wednesdays and e. bY pecially Sundays are been days withl Bostonians. l Their beef is splendid and appetizing; tt their vegetables are, it anything better re than ours. I am alluding to the raw material, bien eutendu," but their fish is if eiecrable, being mostly of the oily i epecies and none of them have the bright Sappiearauce of those caiught in the Gulf n of Merico.

Good roads enable him tO reach the markets, as bad weather does not prevent his traveling any time of the year- His produce need not perish and he can then sell on a rising market. Good roads not only increase the value of the farmer's land, but adjacent property as well, and they enhance the value of men and -animals. Good public highways carry with them higher and more per fect ideals of life. They create ideals which bring better condi tions and fuller opportunities for the community. They promote and are the means of circulating | ideas-an important element, in theexchangeof ideas is most im ' portant essential to progress. Worldly Wisdom People who borrow trouble place a mortgage on their future. Even a slight misunderstan ding may make a big difference.
