A Query Answered.
Ed. Nobthwesi: Friday's news in de
scribing the features of Mrs, Jplia Ward
Howe credited her with an "aristocratic
nose." Will you please tell us what for snuff
tank that is? Farmer.
We comply for the sake of this farmer and
others who know not the latest style. Did
you ever see a lady or girl wearing a p roboscis,
which for architecture borders on that of the
Roman and the pose of said nose suggestive
of something being woefully wrong with the
odor of the atmosphere? If such you have
seen, and without doubt you have, recognize
in it a real, blue-blooded aristocratic nose.
No other explanation is'necessary.

He has had Ten
Gravel Roads: The Fqaestrian't Pray
er. A predominant class of farmers in Henry
county are content with urging their horses
'over all but impassible roads by spur and
whip on an average of threo-fonrtha of the
year. - This class in so doing is moving in
conjunction with the saying "gap at a gnat
and swallow an elephant,'' and the most de
plorable portion of this darkness is that their
shortsightedness will not permit them to re
alize this fact. For all time to coma and
during all time patted, the departure of Jack
Frost from earth and clay, will and has, left
the roads in a condition to make travel, if
possible at all, a toil to be dreaded.
There is but one remedy for this great in
convenienceone straight path leading from
this labyrinth of difficulty characterizing all
newly settled countries, to tfe privileges
which we, as a connty seventy five years old
have a right to ask and demand. Both gravel
and stone roads have been tried and proven
to be impervious to the whims of a warm
sun on the still more whimsical Jack Frost,
or the opening wide of heaven's flood-gates.
No weather can be so inclement as to prohibit
travel altogether on gravel roads, and it is a
well known faot that stone roads cannot be ef
fected after once constructed.
But the merits and utility of stone or gravel
roads are incontrovertable and not the ques
tion hers set forth. The question is rsther,
why property owners will "gap at the gnat"
of a small assessment for road improvements
while they oontinoe year after year to gulp
down impassable roads and subsequent wear
and tear on harness and horse, broken down
vehicle and great loss of time, which, when
correctly computed in profit and loss Will
swell the loss column to such excess as to
stagger the shortsighted "economical farm
er." Economy? Bosh! What constitutes
economy?, Is it refusing to oast your vote foi
good roads, thus avoiding a small sum for
such improvement when fully twice the sum
is paid out indirectly for the privilege of us
ing bad roads? It is well known that many
blinded by cupidity entertain this sort of log
io and steadfastly refuse to give their good
oommon sense possession long enough to
eradicate suoh avaricioueness.
The law for years has given each township
the right to oonstruot road improvements at
their will. How have they availed themselves
of this privilege? Napoleon township and
corporation have both done the fair thing,
while all others save a small portion of Free
dom and Ridgeville, have been shamefully re
creant to the trust reposed. Richfield, Bart
low and Marion are the only townships at all
excusable for remaining aloof from this
swim of progress inasmuch as the land there
in is far from possessing a perfect system of
drainage. Bat for the other townships, there
is no excuse for perpetrating this gross injus
tice upon themselves and others. By what
right or equity have Flatrock, Pleasant, Har
rison, Monroe and Marion to, year in and year
out, drive miles out of their way in order to
utilize Napoleon township pikes, while they
all steadfastly refuse to oonstruot such on
their own territory?
Flatrock maintains that were she to con
struct a continuance, of gravel road on the
Kalida pike to her southern boundary, Mon
roe would derive as muoh benefit as herself at
no cost whatever. Such would be true if
Monroe shonld avail herself of suoh eon.
temptib'.e injustice, and not gravel one of her
great north and south roads. Surely these
two belligerent townships should blush with
shame when they oonside what Napoleon
township has done, and that too without a
manner. But such is not the esse. Flat
rook for fear of benefitting Monroe, has made
up het mind to let Kalida pike remain in its
present condition until the end of time,
while on the other hand Monroe says nothing
but waits, hoping her long winded neighbor
will soon give in.
There are those living in both townships
who acknowledge that the pike should be im
proved and advocate a "three mile system"
whereby both will contribute an equal share.
To be more explicit: As the road in ques
tion is praotically on the boundary line, they
hold that it should be built by three miles
east and west, thus making a full township
the ratio of assessment to be according to
benefit derived. For example : the first mile
$3, the second $2 and the third $1 on eaoh
hundred of valuation. The project was feasi
ble but we understand the third mile in
Monroe absolutely refused, and many in
eluded in the first mile adjacent to them of
the second mile raised vigorous objections
because their assessments were a trifle higher
than their near neighbors. With such self
evident little facts, backed with stinginess
and jealousy, the really tenable scheme was
killed and all hope of a solution to the di
lemma abandoned.
Daring the past week frequent thaws, fol
lowed by copious rains have transformed
the so called highways into veritable quag.
mires. Especially has this been so of those
most traveled, the Kalida "pike" leading the
list. Very few think of coming to town oth
erwise than afoot, while many have been
forced to abandon single buggies in the
middle of the road and make their destina
tion horseback. Wiseacres shake heads and
"low" something should be done, but do
nothing. A few severe frosts will make
passable, though very bard riding roads, and
the question relegated to a backnumbership
until another such occasion.
The cost of extending Napoleon township'
gravel road to the southern boundary line of
Pleasant would be barely perceptible to
tbosedefraying it; then farmers, why do yon
