A prominent English statesman who Isited this country during the past summer was talking with friends about the national characteristics of Ameri cans, and gave it as his opinion that the Westerner Is the most truly hu morous of the citizens of the United States. "Why." said the Briton, in explana tion, "a relative of mine who frequent ly visits the States for purposes of sport tell3 rue that he was entranced by the reply made to him by the pro prietor of a hotel in Nebraska when he asked If there were any quail in the vicinity. 'Quail!' exclaimed the proprietor, "I should say bo! Why, they've got to be a regular nuisance 'round here.

J, VERNON writes as fol lows Ln the Press Bulle tin, New Slexico College q of Agriculture: Good roads are Indicative of a hich state of civilization. The im provement in the condition of the com mon highways proclaims in mute yet unmistakable language the advance ment in the civilization of a country. Highly specialized industries, which usually attend a high state of civiliza tion among a people, seldom flourish where means is unprovided for a quick exchange of commodities. As the standard of Jiving in a community rises, it soon finds expression in a de mand for better roads roads suitable for the gentleman's saddle horse, for the family carriage, for the salesman's road wagon, for the delivery man's automobile enr, and for the pleasure 6ekers' and tourists' automobiles. The most natural system to follow in road building is to begin the im provement in the city or village, work ing outward in the different directions on the lines of least resistance, but at all times striving to reach the greatest population and the heaviest traffic. The work should be placed in charge of a man who understands road build ing and road repair. This statement is equally true whether there be much or little moneyavailable for the work. The system which permits the appoint ment of men as road supervisors re gardless of their fitness for the posi tion is accountable in a great measure for poor roads and for the feeble in-, terest taken in road improvement. Probably there is no more road-work in many counties than could be super intended by one man, and that man could be selected with an eye to his qualifications for the work to be done, which would result not only in better roads, but also in greater efficiency and economy. Such a system prevails in many of the older States of the Union, and it has been suggested that it might prove most desirable in this section under our conditions. The uso of improved labor-saving machinery in the building and repair of the common highways no doubt would result advantageously to all concerned. To Illustrate: If a ma chine were devised whereby two men and four teams with the machine, could perform as much of a given kind of work in a day as ten men could perform in the same time with teams and the old slip scrapers, it is evident that the purchase and use of such a machine, provided, however, that the price was not exorbitant, would be most desirable and would result in much economy. Furthermore, if at the same time, with such a machine, the work could be done infinitely bet ter, it would seem to be the height of folly not to invest in one. The modern road grader is just such a machine. The road grader has become so popular in most of the older States to-day that the old slip scraper is seldom seen, and when it does appear it is used only in corners where the grader'can not reach the work. With a modern grader in the hands of an. expert in every county, the roads leading out from our cities and towns would soon discard their shrunken appearance and take on a more rounded, elevated form, and the holes and inequalities would gradually disappear, leaving a surface so uniform that they would delight the eye and afford pleasure to the traveler. Space will not permit of an extend ed discussion of the methods and means for road improvement, but at least enough has been said to intro duce a subject which is deserving of much thought among the people of this section. We are on the eve of a great wave of progress, and would it not pay both the merchant and the ranchman to give the matter of road building and road repair more atten tion? The Paramount Question. There is no question that can pos sibly be paramount to that of good roads. We have tried every suggested local system and found them all either impractical or inadequate. The State, county and district plans to have good wagon roads have all failed except in three or four of the wealthier States, and the roads are no better to-day (some of them are much worse) than they were fifty years ago, or when first opened to travel. Argu ment seems now to be superfious as to why the roads should be systemati cally Improved; the question is, how can we get them so improved? The experience of all the years proves abundantly that it can only be done by the general government leading the way. Senators and Representa tives will take notice that this is a question affecting very materially the whole body of the American people, In town, country and city; In every trade, calling and profession; the producer, the consumer and the dealer, the churches and every Institution per taining to the public well-being. It is a question of no particular locality, section or class, but touches vitally the affairs of every condition and situation of life. The wealth of the country is, every dollar of it, based upon agriculture. Mule Raced With Train. A thrse mile race between a freight train and a yearling mule was wit nessed here to-day, ending in a dead heat. The mule broke from its pasture just as the freight approached, and speed ing along the right of way kept .by the side of the train for a distance of three miles. In the race the mule cleared three cattle guards and did not 6top until it had reached the bridge over the Mus catatuck, where it left the right of way. The freight was running not less than thirty miles an hour, and the trainmen kept watch on the mule from the caboose as it made its record breaking run. Indianapolis Star.

THE LITTLE WIDOW A Mlcnty Good Sort of a Neighbor to Bin "A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San EernardlnS Co., Cat "I bad been ill and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostration for three long months after the birth of my second 'boy.

In two months, my weight increased from ninety-five to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything.

Probably the largest sawdust pile la tat world Is the cne at Cheboygan, Mica. This la the-product of one mill operated by the W. A. McArtanr Company. The mill beiag run .by water power had no way of dltposlcg of lta sawdust. The company was cot permitted to dump it Into the river and for a few years an attempt was made to burn it. There was so muca smoke that the village passed as ordinance prohibiting that form of de struction. As a consequence it was simply hauled oat tzto a vacant field and during ths thirty years of its growth h&s acquired monstrous pro portions. It is a hill 1.080 feet loag. 875 feet wide, and ranges from 20 to SO feet in height. The hill covers tome twelve acrca It is almost entirely white and Nor way pine sawdust, because this mill did net cut hemlock except fcr the last two or three jears before it waa closed down. The pile is undoubtedly rotting a little at the bottom, but it is well preserved and bright whea it is dug into, the top and sidej harlag crusted over forci a protection for the sawdust underneath. In its present state it contains rather too mucn moisture to admit of being used for fuel without treatment by some pro cess of drying. A number of chemists have exam ined it with a view to extracting the chemicals which it contains, but as yet nothing has been done in this direction. There is no question but that it has a considerable chemical value and prtawbly the time will come when soma one will find a way of working it up profitably. FOUR YEARS OF AGONY.

Getting into debt is an easy way of ffoinsr to the devil. BKflCus Tho better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or .officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-clas3 pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. "The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arise3 from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know 'that Syrjp of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Do. printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made,' tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose igreed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name " Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig. syrup company, printed on the package, but they never-have the full name ol the Company California Fig Syrup Co.-printed on the front of the package. The imitations should bo rejected because they are injurious to the system. In. order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer pawes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he wiU do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facta, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold ta them.
