changing the appearance of the whole
country between the ettv and White Bluff
We have no hesitation In saying that
the road would be of more benefit to the
city than a half doxen fair*, a docen May
Weeks or a hundred so-called carnival*
It would build up tha .county and Ihu*
add to the permanent trade of the city.
II would help Improve the street* through

It Is pleasant to come across old war

against many people, ore still hale nn.l

The other day one of England's veteran-:
Field Marshal Blr Frederick I*. Haines,
celebrated his Hat birthday.
Just slxty-one year* ago he began his
career as a warrior, and fifty-five years
age he went through hi, first .-ampuls",
seeing most of the fighting that look
plara tn the ButleJ campaign <f IMS. Al
most the first time he smelt powder he
His next campaign was that In the
Punjab In IMS-9, and later he fought
through the 111-managed Crimea. Twen
ty year* later he w* made commander
in-chief In India, and was specially thank
ed hy parliament for his tact and energv
in the Afghanistan operation*
The old warrior is hale und hearty and
still has nn opinion of hie own. It Is told
of him that a dictum of Lord Wol,eley's
was quoted against one of his own. Blr
Frederick rapped hia cane on the floor
snd shouted:
“Wotostoy! Wolseleyl A clever lad. I'll
admit, but a mere stripling yet. sir, u

"Going to the speaking lube, the officer
yelled
"Is lljere a blithering Idiot at the end

The reply came quick and startling:
"Not at this end. air,”
The feelings of the officer, as he turned
