GOOD ROADS Needed In Audubon County But The System By Which To Construct Here An Experiment It is said that India possesses some tine roads though the fact is not gen erftHy known. One of the bpst which run from Bombay to Dehli is 900 miles long. One of even greater length is that on the Afghanistan frontier from Peshawur to Calcutta. These roads were built before the days of the rail road to serve as military highways. The native princes take pride in keep ing them in repair. The automobiiist iu rudia is constantly surprised and delighted by the ease by which he may travei from one place to another. Gotch-Mabmoimt At the Dexter I'avillion iu Chicago last night occurred the greatest of all wrestling matches the Champion of Kuropu against the Ciiampion of America. People came from hundreds of miles to see the bout but it was of shortduratiou as Gotch threw his man the first time in eight minutes and the second time thus retaining the cham pionship.

The singer who tremolos constantly finds a passage of passion or ecstasy that calls for a touch of tremolo naturally: as his voice has always been tretn b!iog, he must get the needed effect by giving more sweep and speed to his previous tremoio. Hut that sets a nc.v standard of "sympathetic wi.iMith" as he would say, end so he adopts the more vigorous "wobble.'' So the degeneration goe-i on stage by stage until he has lost all sense of length, pitch or power. The cat in "Alice iu Wonderland" ditappeared, but left her smile behind! so, many a voice long since disap peared and left only a "wobble" Are we too hard on this vulgar habit? Hear what the eminent l)r. Mclveuzie has to say about it. Tremolo is injur ious as tending to beget a depraved habit of singing. The voice like the hands may tremble from emotion hut continual quavering is as disagreeable as the tremulous fingers of the drunk ard 1 Sense and Nonsense From Our Manges The world consumes about five million dollars worth of quinine. The volcano of Colima, in Mexico, which has long been quiet, has again become active. A house is made of sticks and stones Of sills nnd posts and piers: But a home is made of loving deeds That stand a thousand jears. The frosting on the window pane May pretty pictures rnaka, But though they're fine I'll choose for mine The frosting on the cake. Today King Alfonso of Spain as sisted by the grandees will wash the feet of twelve poor men in imitation of Christ, and will set before them with his own hands a mammoth feast.

'That's right, but do me a favor old man. Don't let her wear her now furs. I don't want my wife to see them just now,' 'Why? That's what we are coming for.' 'I love you,' sang an ardent swain 'Far more than words can say,' A bnll dog aame upon the scene, The young man sneaked away. Altho 'twas true he loved the maid No Romeo could beat him, He didn't love her quite enongh To let the bull dog eat him. A Missouri farmer was the owner of a very good Alderney cow. One day a stranger who had seen the cow met her owner and inquired what he would take for her.

Little Rose disliked the study of geography and day after day passed with her geography lesson unlearned Finally her teacher sent a note to the child's mother requesting her to see that the lesson was learned.

'But Roger, my dear boy, I am sure yoa cau not eat anymore pud ding!' said his mother as he passed his plate the third time for more. 'Y'es I think I could if I stood up,' Roger answered. 'Husband, do you remember how you used to promise to lavish money ©n me?' Tgh.' 'Could you lavish as much as 40 cents today? I want to get my shoes half soled.'

A tariff is a simple thing It seems surpassing queer That men so many words should bring, To something that is clear If broadcast duties you impose, Just be discreet and try To tax all articles save those That I'm compelled to buy. The day of the fly, the bothersome fly,_ Is drawing nigh uncomfortably nigh: The pesky mosquito with unsatis fied bill, Is coming his long-thirsty carcass to till.

Strenuous life in educational matters is carried to a point which aston ies even tho laborious German students. An American met a friend in Ger many who was also an American. In the course of the conversation one of them made the remark "The Emper or is a fool." The words haa hardly been spoken when a man stepped up to the couple and said: 'You are under arrest, you slandered the em peror.' 'Not at all. I wiis speaking of the Htnperor of China.' said the Ameri can. 'That's not true, you can't fool me there's only one fool emperor.' said the German, and the Americans were obliged to make further explan ations. Oh, we'll sing a song of the Uu-sy hand! Let the dreamers uiope, if they will The song and praise belongs to him, Who faithfully turns tho mill Who sees the furrow is straight and true, Aud the cattle are housed aud fed: Who does the work that he finds to do. While the sluggard lies in bed. Take otl your hat to tho one who acts hile the others only plan: Who patiently ends the tedious task, That a weaker soul began ho is up aud doing to blaze the trail, And to clear the weeds away And who always a brave 'I can,' When tho rest of ns say 'I may.'
