WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, WHERE
nearly one hundred miles of Concrete
Roads have been built in the past six years,
`.during which time nearly every method of
. road construction has been tested, now comes
out flat-footed and adopts concrete as the road
standard.
The story is best told in the following para-
graph which has been taken from the latest
report of the Board of County Road Com-
missioners of Wayne County, Michigan.
"With the completion of Plymouth Road,.
we have abandoned every other form of con-
struction and have adopted concrete as our
standard. We feel that our experience of the.
past six years warrants us in arriving at this
determination, based on its general satisfactor-
iness and its annual cost as compared with other forms of
construction. • In addition to the economy in hauling, the
pleasure in driving and touring, and the increase in land
valuation, the concrete roads of Wayne County have been
the means of bringing tens of thousands of dollars to
this locality".
Concrete roads will benefit any locality proportionately as
they have benefited Wayne County, Michigan.
The fullest detailed information about concrete roads will
be sent to anyone interested, without cost or obligation.

V.—Men With Axes to Grind
It is just a hundred years ago since
Charles Minez; planted the apt phrase, 1
"An axe to grind," into our vocabu-
lary, but meanwhile it has grown to
the sturdiness of a Shakespear e•tn
metaphor. A stranger by much fiat
,tory induced the youthful Charles to
take him to the grindstone, brin;r
Water for the grinding, and turn the
crank while the man put an edge on
;his axe, His constant smiles awl
praises ceased with the worlc, and
hearing the school bell ringing, he un
graciqusly exclaimed: "Now you little
rascal, you've played the truant; scud
off to school, or you'll rue it," the
author said he felt very much wound
ed, and never- forgot the incident.
Ever afterwards, when he saw one
person bestowing fulsome flattery on
another, he said to himself, "That ma -
has an axe to grind,"
Not that every man who says more
than he literally means by way cf
compliment is guilty of this misde-
meanor. Some men are flatterers by
constitution. They always call things
Perfectly beautiful when they redly
think them tolerably fair. Phillf5,:
Brooks found, early in his ministry,
that his indiscriminate praise of ba-
bies was getting him into no end of
'trouble, so he adopted one remark for
'every infant presented, always say-
ing, "Well, well; now that Is a baby!"
But Aesop furnishes a sample of the
axe -grinding kind of flattery in the
fable of the fox who wheedled the
Meat from the crow's bill by express-
hng his regret that the bird's mag-
nificent
anniflcent plumage should be coupled
;with such a poor voice. The lusty
caw, intended to refute the reflection,
of course released the prize. "Your
voice is right enough," chuckled Rey -
hard, "but your wit is wanting."
Moral: When a man's compliment
manifestly stretches the truth, he is
looking for your sweet morsel. Solo-
mon puts it 'thus: "A. matt that flat-
tereth his neighbor spreeletn a net
for his feet."
Some substitute a small favor for,
flattery. The stranger who offers you
a cigar at the outset of the interview
srobably thinks the expected commis-
sions will recoup the outlay. Mer-
chants say that the treating drummer
is going out of style. The buyer
knows that if he accepts the invita-
tion to go around the corner with the
salesman, he himself is doing the set-
ting up.
Axe -grinding is a case of swapping
favors, but the other fellow claims
the privilege of deciding the nature of
both articles exchanged.
At the psychological moment of a
church reception, a little girl stepped
up to the new pastor's wife with an
enormous bouquet of roses. Tucked
into the centre was found a card read-
ing, "Compliments of Smith and Jones,
',Grocers." They might have added,
"and axe -grinders."
When a man hands out a Masonic
grip upon his introduction, I always
suspect, if a business matter is im-
pending, that he is anxious to get a
grip on the new brother's pocketbook.
It is in better taste to give the
secret token in the farewell clasp.
Young man, let me counsel you not
to join a lodge for the favors you
can secure from its membership.
Some do it; some advise others to
do it. If a man suggests that you
ought to become a Mason or a Mac-
cabee, an Owl or an Elk, because it
Would help you in your business, tell
him that if you really want to exploit
your brother man, you will join the

if it is strong, you will not need a

fools still think that secret society

V11.—Too Much Baggage to Win
The most unique race I ever saw
was between two passenger trains.
The race -track lay between Niagara
Falls and Tonawanda, NI. Y. One
train was on the Lehigh tracks; the
other on the New York Central. Both
trains were belated, so . schedules
were ignored, and throttles were
opened wide.
They had a fair start, and for a
piffle or two the two great steeds ran
heck -and -neck.
The firemen threw

leaned
forward on their seats as riders in

The passengers enjoyed the sen-
sation; it seemed as if we had left
the earth, so smoothly did we fly.

people in the New York Central train

But by and by I noticed that the

the conductor said, "They'll win, I'm
afraid, for they have a lighter load."

tributes to the influences that lure a

If only mothers knew their power,
and could throw off the mock modesty

HE FOUGHT THE BEARS.
Story of Old Hotel and Its Soldier,
Patrons.
The destruction of an old building
will often cause an old resident to
turn back the pages cf memory and
relate tales of the days of old. Thus
it was that three or four gentlemen
listened with a great deal of interest
do a few lunch hour stories about the
days when the old Bank of Upper
Canada, King and Frederick streets,
that is now demolished, was a thriv-
in,; institution in a good section of
the city. •
"I used to live right close to the
bank," said the eldest of the group, a
man of possibly sixty-five years, "and
two or three doors from, the bank,
down the street, a man kept a hotel.
In Toronto of those days the Sunday
ligtr laws were not enforced as they
should have been, and this tavern -
keeper, in order to induce custom to
his place on Sundays without too
much publicity, tried a rather novel
idea.-
"From
dea."From a circus which went defunct
in Toronto he bought four bears, big
black fellows, and chained. themin
his back yard, and ordered that any
one coming to see the bears would
have to pass through the bar -room.
As a consequence, a large number
came to see the bears on Sunday and
many of them stayed for a consider-
able length of time.
"At length the news got to the sol-
diers in the fort, and a few of them
came down one Sunday morning to.
see what was in the air. One of
h o
t es chaps was big six-footer,
p aand
g
after he had
the bar and ex-
amined the bears at some length he
commenced to feel in a fighting
mood. The hotel man didn't want a
fight in his house on Sunday, so he
sent him out to fight the bears. The
soldier went out and found the bears
all asleep, so he swatted the largest
of them three or four goods ones on
the nose, and with this rude awaken-
ing Bruin got up to see what it was
all about. The soldier struck out
once or twice more, and the bear
got him within his grip and hugged
him so tight he broke his arm. It
took several men to get the soldier
from the bear's grasp and take him to
a nearby surgeon."

Three hundred English-speaking
Ottawa University students went on
strike recently, paraded through, the
city, and raised a general hulabaloo
because Father James Fallon, prefect
of studies, was banished by the Ob-
late Order, which controls the Uni-
vsrsity, on account of having sided
with the Irish against the Frenp4.-ins.
the recent Separate School Board
elections, The students recognizing
that it was impossible to secure the
return of Father Falcon, were deter-
mined to have an English-speaking
successor, preferably Father Murphy,
appointed to the vacant chair.
Threats of expulsion of the ringlead-
ers brought the strike to an untimely
end the following day and an -.pology
was made to the authorities by the
students,
The Order of the Oblates, to which
Father Fallon belonged, was founded
in the year 1578 in the diocese of
Milan, and was one of the many re-
forms introduced by the archbishop,
St. Charles Borromeo. Activity was
shown in Aix, Provence, France, in
1782, Mgr. Mazenod then being in
charge, When first instituted the
members were under the direct rule
of the bishop, and could do nothing
except under his ruling.
The ord'er was recognized and ap-
proved of in the year 1826 by Pope
Leo XII. Since then its advance has
been rapid. Its aims, as laid down
by Pope Leo, were ma'nly for mis-
sionary work among the heathen and
savages, teaching, and parochial care.
At present the mother house is situ-
ated in Rome—the Via da Feltre—
and is under the charge of Superior -
General A. Donteneuil, formerly of
Vancouver, Canada.
An Oblate priest is one of the
Roman Catholic faith belonging to
the Oblate Order, But the difference
between the Oblate and secular order
is In that the Oblate priest is not
bound by the vows or the religious
profession. The Order of Oblates of
Mary Immaculate was founded at
Marseilles in 1815. Since then its
growth has been rapid, Canada per-
haps possessing the greatest number
of the order. It was introduced into
England in 1857 by Cardinal Man-
ning, and now has nine branches. Ire-
land has two, and British India and
the States also have many.
It was first introduced into Canada
in 1841, when a mission was com-
menced at St. Hiliare, Quebec, from
w'ience it spread rapidly through
Quebec and the western provinces. In
1848 the Oblates founded Ottawa
College, and not until 1889 was it
sanctioned by the Pope, In 1866 it
received its status as a university. It
is still run purely by the Oblate
priests, and all of its graduates be-
come Oblates. The priests, both Eng-
lish and French-speaking, are Ob-
lates. Ottawa College is the only Ob-
late institution in Ontario.
In all, there are some six -hundred
Oblates in Canada at the present
time, which number includes six
bishops and two archbishops; in fact,
the Oblate Order far exceeds the se-
cular order in numbers in Canada,
and is rapidly continuing to gain. The
secular order is not losing ground,
but it is not gaining, whereas the Ob-
late Order is year by year getting a
hold which cannot be easily unloosed.
The Oblate bishops and archbishops
in Canada are as follows: Archbishop
Langevin, St. Boni"ace; Archbishop
Legal, Edmonton; Bishop Pascal,
Prince Albert; 13ishop Breyant, Mc-
Kenzie; Bishops Grouard and Jou-
sourd of Athabasca; Bishop Charle-
bois, Keewatin, and Bishop Falcon of
London.
The Oblate Ceder above all is not
secular. Introduced first as a reform,
it gained Iittle headway until placed
in England, and particularly Canada,
where its success has been very re-
markable. It is designed as a reform
on secularism, and the rriests invar-
iably, when asked to choose, take to
tho Oblates.--Torcnto Star W ekiy.
