"The Difference O Tennyson coulJ take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000. That's Genius. VsrwWhnilt can write a few words on a sheet or paper and make it worth $5,000,000. That's Capital. The United States can take an ounce and a quarter of gold, and .stamp upon it an "Eagle Bird' and make it worth $20. That's Money. A mechanic can take material worth $5, and make it into watch springs worth $1,000. Thit's Skill. A merchant can take an article worth 90c and sell it for $1. That's Bnsiness. A lady can purchase a 75c hat, but she prefers one that cost $25, That's Foolishness. A laborer works 10 hours a day for $1.50 per day. That's Labor. The writer of this could write a check for $800,000, but it wouldn't be worth it . That's Rough. But when we sell you Holiday Goods we are selling you the best possible quality and up to date .joods obtainable for the price. That's a Reality. And prices at the Pioneer Store re always reasonable.

Bradley on TucHilny completed the summary of the census, which shews the total popnltt tion of Cluekuinus county 10 be 21,253. Ofthlb number, 11,794 are males and OtfD females, 5501 of the former being lejial voters.

Pantt lira the Criminal and Doc Not Com pete With Free Labor. The Athens (Gu. ) Banner thus emus np the advantages of employing con victs iu building roads: It costs the comity about 20 cents per day for each convict maintained and worked on the roads. This east includes food, clothing, shelter and guarding. Tlio convicts live in camps at points along the road near where the road building is being done. Tho shelter is a cheap structure of wood and canvas, something better than a tent. Tho advantages of using convict la bor are : That nu organized force can be better maintainod than conld be done with free labor for roud building. It is cheaper than free labor would be. It frees tho county from tho expense of keeping prisoners without any return value. It engages convict labor in healthful occupation without bringing it iu com petition with free labor. It is the best possible punishment for the common criminal. It cures the tramp nuisance. , Tho result (good roads) is a benefac tion. The Perfection of Roads. General Roy Stone, special agent for the United States department of road inquiry, says that the perfection of roads is fine, dry, smooth dirt track, for the reason that such a surface is pnry on horte and vehicle, while free from jar and noise. He advocates nar row srouo roads besides the dirt track for tho reason that iu wet or frosty weather dirt rv.ds arc often impassable. A dirt road in g;d conditio!! is prefer able to a s'ii! rof stoue for diiving aad r' ; purpose! and would save mncli o-i the latter, which is the " f the two. Dally Health Lawi. Don't eat io rapidly.

Dow to Keep Macadam Hud Telford Rouilt In Proper Ilepalr. The proper repairing of macadam and telford roads is as inipurtunt us their construction. Tho Roud Improvement association of Loudon recently iHKued a circular coin linini; 11 set of rules for the guidance of roiulnn sters iu tho matter of repairing. Tho should be studied by every ruudiuuKtct' and supervisor They are as follows : Never allow a hobow, a rut or a pud dle to remain on o roud, but fill it tip at once with chips f sm the stone heap. Always use chi; for patching und for all repairs durirj the summer season. Kover put fresh itones on tho roud, if, Jjy cross pickin;; and a thorough use of the rake, the t.: f;ico cuu be umde smooth und kept ct, tho proper strength and section. Remember that, the ruke is the most useful tool in your collection, and it should bo lcopt clco ut baud the whole your round. Do not spread lai-i;o patches of stoue over the wholo width of tho road, but coat the middle or horse truck first, und when this has worn in coat ouch of the sides in turn. In. moderately dry weather and on hard rouds ulwuys pick up the old sur face into ridges six inches apart und remove all huge und projecting stones before applying a new coating. Never spread Ntoues more than one stone deep, bnt add a second layer when the first bus worn in, if one coat bo not enough. Never shoot Btoi.'csr on the road and crack them where Uicy lie, or a smooth surface will bo out of the question. Nover put a stout' upon the road for repaii'iug purposes lhat will not freely puss iu every direction through n two inch ring, und remember thut smaller stones should bo u. ' d for patching und for all slight repuii.-'. Recollect that hi- d stones should bo broken to finer g;inj. limn soft, bnt that the two inch guug i is the lurgest. that should be used nude .' uny circumstances where no steam roller is employed. Never be without your ring gauge, lombei Macadam's advice thut any . you cannot easily put iu your mou.. -inld be broken smaller. Use 0 r if possible for binding new ly laid stones together, und remember that road sweepings, horso dropping!!. sods or grass and othor rubbish, when used for this purpose, will ruin tho best roud ever constructed. RciucnibfT thr.t water worn or ronnd ed stones should never be used npou steep gradients, or they will fail u bind together. Never allow dust or mud to l;o on thu surface of the roads, for oithei of these will double the cost of mainte nance. Recollect that dust becomes nmd at tho first shower and thut mnd for. us a wet bluuket which will keep a road in a filthy condition for weeks at a time, instead of allowing it to dry in a few hours. Rcmcmbor thut tho middle of the read should always bo 11 l.ttle higher than the sides, so that tho rain may ruu into tho sido gutters nt once. Never allow tho water tublc.i, gr.tiers and ditches to clog up, but keep llieui clear the wholo year through. Oregon Central & Eastern R. R. Company. Proceeding of December Ter.n Last Week.
