Dtn Sin Permit me to urge upon your atteuticm the great iinportanc of good roads as feeders to railroads, j Throughout the United States the condition of the common country roads is the iudex to tho prosperity of railroads. When highways are impassable freight and passenger "earnings aro ueceesanly diminished and the price of railroad . securities lowered. When the roads aro in good condition merehandito is accumulated at the depot?, and in moving it trains are delayed and accidents in- ; creased. A uniform good condition of ; -nnl.l Minhln railroads to handle

freight more expeditiously. j Good roads are the means by which a . countrv is built up populously and prospcrouely. Bad roads delay civilization und cause districts to be sparsely tattled, , and poverty nnd ignorance to abound. The railroad companies of this country, j representing millions of employees and -J billions of capital, and controlled and directed by men of high inteltigenco, I have a commanding influence in ever- j legislative hall in the United Gtates. Every railway corporation can request its officers, agents and employees to do what thev cm to create a right eentl- ! ineut in regard to the improvement of higbwavs in their respective neighborhoods, and all along the vurioua line depot mästen, nnd freight agents could report to a road department, cstablMiwl by the company, the conditions of the roads in thir towns and what is Iwing ' dono to improve them. Tle depot , masters could be furnished from time to . time with pamphlets containing instate- J tions. for the construction and mamto- -nanoe of highways, for distribution to persons doing business at their stations, and thus educate them how to build bet- . ter roads, as well as teach them that j butter highways effect saving in tram- j

portation. Any railroail running uirougu u territory having good roads must havo

Needless to recount the disillusions, privations, rebuffs or tho nervous reactions of the days when he received a few francs. Tho unrelieved pressure of poverty, the unremitting blows of ill lucktap, tap, like a paver's mallet-became unbearable. The thin blood of semifitarvarion mounted to his head, creating vituonB of suicide. On evening ho bought poison. Re-entering his room something brushed past his feet. Ho lighted a candle and began to write a few hues, merely to save trouble at the inquest c,iiiitT tViATO sTjranar upon the ta-

With bread una mint, u be fed the kitten, then warmed it within the breast of his coat, where it caressed with its tongue the hand that held it, then purred itself to Bleep. Maurice reflected: "Suiride is the

refuge of one who has no longer hopes, ties of affection or responsibilities. In receiving this kitten I have assumed a duty. To place this little creature for warmth upon my heart and then turn that warmth to ice would be a betrayal. At least I will live until tomorrow." In the morning the little cat appeared so pretty Maurice painted and was able to sell its portrait Another was ordered and another. M. Lenoir's pussies became the fashion. He deferred Iiis dream of a classic canvas and painted only cats in all postures and colors yellow, black, white, gray and tabby. Ho studied cats; he divined under

From figures recently prepared bv Mr. John M.
