had at last got the opportunity to
give him just what he needed.
Jack cleared up his throat and
commenced to beg, and said, “He
had always treated Pearl as best he
could,” and began to shed tears.
When Jack came to his senses
before him was placed a fine new
cabinet High Arm S6O sewing ma
chine which she presented to him
and his good wife. Alli that poor
Jack could say was: “Well, mo
ther, I have always heard that
mother-in-laws gave a fellow h’ll,
but I am glad that I have one that
gave me a machine.
Farmer’s Girl.
The people of Kansas are re
ducing their ideas on road-making
to a practical common sense basis. I
At the meeting of the Good Roads ;
Association this week a legislative I
committee was appointed to pre
sent the claims of the association I
to the next legislature, and have ■
charge of the campaign for good i
roads. The following resolution j
was unanimously adopted:
“ Whereas, Large sums of money j
ere raised by taxation for road
purposes in Kansas, and that much
of the road tax is unwisely spent
for lack of engineering skill and
intelligent economy, therefore be it
“Resolved, That a practical
state engineer be placed in charge ■
and have supervision of the road
officers of the state and that he be .
a man who will work with all the
county surveyors in creating sys
tem and economy.”
The county road commissioner
should be a civil engineer and in ;
connection with the surveyor lay
out a scheme of county roads, and ,
judiciously and economically use i
the money raised for road building, j
Five miles of really good road'
built each year would be of much ।
more benefit than 10(1 miles botched ;
up as we have been having it done I
in the past. Good roads are aI
fundamental necessity to commer-’
eial success. The only question is I
when will we begin to lay plans
and work them out. The farmer
can live without good roads, but■
the merchant can’t.

A Warning to Mother*.
Too much care cannot be used
with small children during the hot
weather of the summer months to
guard against bowel troubles. As
a rule it is only necessary to give
the child a dose of castor oil to
correct any disorder of the bowels.
Do not use any substitute, but give
the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has a tendency to
gripe. If tins does not check the
bowels give Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and then a dose of castor oil, and
the disease may be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided.
The castor oil and this remedy
should be procured at once and
kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most
successful treatment known and
may be relied upon with implicit
confideuce even iu cases of cholera
infantum. For sale by C. H. Gay
