THAT Husband OF Mine" and '.That Wife
of Minen The story of these books was
recently told me by the publisher. When
Miss Denis0n, a number of years ago,
brought the manuscript of THAT Husband
of Mine to her publishers they accepted it
doubtfnlly, and did not feel warranted in
printing more than 500 copies for a first
edition. This was all they expected to
print at all. for they did not detect the ele-
ments Of popularity in it. What was their
surprise, then, to receive orders amount
ing to 2.oo0 copies on the day of publica-
toni
This warned them to begin printing a
large supply, but the orders poured in so
fast that for three weeks they were many
thousand copies behind the demand. The
orders received on a single day amounted
once to 400 copies and the total sales of
the book reached in the end 10000 copies.
THAT Wife Of Mine. = published not long
after. did not reach the same figure. bus
the sale amounted TO 1900 copies, 00000 Of

She Was Posted on Eggs.

An old woman with green bonnet and
umbrella to match approached a stall at
the Center market and asked If the eggs
exposed on the counter for sale were fresh.
I'VE don't advertise to sell rotten ones.

I'D like two dozen, If you please; but Pm

The merchant Of produce gazed upon her
with an expression that was half indigna-
ton and half disgust.
"How can tell which were laid by black
hensY" he growled. "If you know just
pick 'em out for yourself"
The old woman smiled pleasantly, and
proceeded 20 select from the basket those
of the eggs which she designated as the
black hens, while the dealer held a bag for
their reception. He noticed that all OF
those she chose were of extra size.
1.-The black hens seem to lay big eggs,
ma'am," he said finally, when all the
largest ones in his stock had been picked
out.
"Oh. yes" replied the old woman, as she
paid for her purchase; tits always so.
Good dayl''
After she had gone the merchant rubbed
his chin thoughtfully for two orthree min
utes aud then remarked to himself.
"By Jovei | call that about the slckest
trick I've had worked On me for many a
day Black hens eggs, indeed All she
wanted was chance to pick out the big
ones, and she got it," With that be looked

Road Making.

The constitution of the United States
says that the general government shall
have power to establish post roads and
provide for the common defence. With
this authority is clear that the United
States has the right to build and main
tain roads which shall serve as mail
routes and for military purposes. We
will never have better roads if we de-
pend on local effort, and we can never
expect the government to take hold of
it until the people demand it. The gov
eminent educates young men for Off
GERS in the army and navy, in agricul-
ture and mechanical studies. Why
should not appropriations be made to
educate young men to be practical road
makers? The roads should be divided
into national roads, state roads and
county or neighborhood roads. The
national roads to be cared for by army
engineers, the state roads in charge of
engineers graduated from the agricul-
tural and mechanical schools, and the
neighborhood roads in charge of local
supervisors. Each county should have
an engineer. The burden of paying
for these roads would be so divided
that it would come hard ON no one. II
is not the country people alone who
suffer from bad rOads.-StOckn,Gn ana

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-11-11

DIR. WEBB Of New York, owner of
the best stock farm in Vermont, has
lately set an example worthy of imita-
ton. He wrote to Hon. j Ohm w. Stew
art, proposing to give the town of Mid
dlebury an imported French coach or an
English hackney stallion, on condition
that it be kept for the use of the citizens
of the town at nominal fee, sufficient
only to cover the cost of the animals
keeping. The proposition was COM
municated by Mr.. Stewart to the select
men, who promptly accepted the offer
and chose the English hackney.
