All roads should be made wide. It is
a mistake to suppose narrow roads are
the cheapest. Of course, when constructing a new road tlie cost is in proportion to its width, but a narrow road
is always the more expensive to maintain, owing to the vehicles being compelled to keep more or loss to one track
in tho center, nothing being moro destructive than the constant wear in one
track. A wide road is always moro
evenly worn all over, provided of course,
that it is constructed according to
scientific principles and kept in good
repair.

As the Observer was sauntering along
Main street the cries of a child accompanied by the snarls of a dog attracted
his attention.   Joining  in  the crowd
that rushed toward the sound of trouble
the Observer found himself in front of
Mussell'..  drug store.   Some  measly,
muzisleless cur-dog had pitched upon
little Arthur Mussell and had bitten
through Jiis clothes into bis hip and
back in  several places.   Dr. Sanford
looked after the child, and tho crowd
felt relieved when it was said that probably serious results would, not follow.

"Do you see that toad?" said Dr. Carpenter to the Observer as the latter was
strolling by the doctor's store on south
McEwan streot tho  other afternoon.
The scribe affirmed that he did.   "Well,
you watch him a minute and you will
see something funny."   In about ten
seconds tlie toad ma'de about six rapid
jumps toward the side of tho building,
aud then began slyly to crawl nearer to
a succulent fly that rested just above
the ground.   When within about four
inches of the unsuspecting diptera the
toad  made a lightning-like pass and
then sat back blinking with satisfaction
as lie felt the captured insect tickling
his internal regions.   The toad kept up
this kind of proceedure a long time to
tho amusement of numerous spectators.   The Observer now understands
why people say, "as busy as a toad lapping flies.
The Observer would like in all humbleness to enquire why the street commissioner does not clean off the street
crossings that were buried out of sight
