IN a MISERABLE CONDITION.
The Streets of Roanoke Arc Not Fit r.
Drive Over.

The Streets of Roanoke Arc Not Fit to
Drive Over.
The streets of Roanoke are certainly
in miserable condition and persons
who are compelled to drive over them
are put to great inconvenience. AS
matters now stand Henry street is the
only open thoroughfare south Of the
railroad and it is in such shape that
travel over it is almost impossible. In
the first place the street is full of holes
and ruts, although a little patching has
been done on it during the past few
days. In addition to these holes the
street is full of obstacles such as rocks,
piles of brick and lumber. The side
walks are also in bad shape and anyone
coming from Mountain street to Camp
bell Is compelled to cross the street at
least i've times.
The streets that are now closed to
the public e Jefferson, Day. Mountain
Pine, Franklin and Campbell These
streets are not closed their whole
len 9Th but at the principal intersec-
tions ropes are stretched across them.
On Jefferson street the cont-ac tor
has quite force of men at work, but
on the other streets little or no wcrk is
being done. There is force of five
men working on Franklin road and ON
Campbell street no one is working at
all.
The streets mentioned above are not
the only ones of which conn plant is be-
ing made. On Shenandoah avenue. at
the end OF the Randolph street bridge,
there are number of holes which make
driving over that thoroughfare exceed
ingiy disagreeable and dangerous, while
Com monwealth avenue is a mass OF cuts
and holes from one end to the other.
The old experimental car track that
was laid there some time ago still re.
mains and plays sad havoc withc lrriap p
wheels.
On Norfolk avenue below tn brick
row, there is plenty Of work for the
street force. This street is full of holes.
and, owing to the fact that tho Norfolk
and Western and Vinton dummy line
run side of it. driving on that thorough.
fare is very dangerous. Tazewell street
also needs attention. as it is full of holes
and has large rocks scattered over it.
Park street, from the end OF the over
head bridge to Loudon street, is also in
a bad condition.
The residents on Seventh avenue n.
c., where the macadam work was re-
Gently in progress, are kicking over the
manner in which that street has been
left When it was graded great deal
!'of cutting was done, and the sidewalks
were brought considerably below the
houses, leaving u high bank. The
plank walks have never been relaid and
She street is in bad condition gem
orally.
The health inspector should paw q
visit to Luck street. The sanitary COZ
dition Of this street is something terri
bla. and the sooner it is remedied the
better 1T will be for all concerned.

He Had the Advantage.

An interesting story is told how
George Westinghouse, the millionaire
inventor, obtained 81, 000,0O when he
needed it badly. When the Westing
house Air-Brake Company was new
concern the directors gave to .NE1.
Westinghouse a paper vesting abso-
lutely in his hands the power to fix the
selling price of air-brakes. The object
was to cripple competitors. When
the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company was in trouble
Mr.. Westinghouse applied to the air
brake company for loan of 5000, 900.
His application was refused and men
ton made. of the fact that he owed the
air-brake company $3.50, 900.
At the next meeting of the board
Mr.. Westinghouse produced the paper
giving him the authority to fix prices.
Its existence had been forgotten and
the directors saw the Importance of
gaining possession of it. Attorneys
were consulted to ascertain what could
be done. All said that the only thing
would be to make terms with Mr..
Westinghouse. Then he was asked
what he would take for the paper.
He said 1000. 900, stuck to the figure
and got it. The directors who refused
the loan of $590,000 and then paid
over $1,000, ,O00 don't like this story,
but its truth is vouched for Phdladel-
pl5iG Times.

Johnny's Bulge on Grandpa.

Johnny is chubby-faced youngster
who for the past six years has been the
light of an east side household. john
ny has a keen sense of humor, but his
occasional pranks have not always met
with the appreciation on the part of
his mother to which he thought they
were entitled. Johnny has been prop
erly trained, and perhaps overtrained,
by his fond parents, and with the per-
versity of children has developed a
strong prejudice against saying the
little prayer his mother has taught
him to repeat before retiring.
Several weeks ago the little fellow
made a visit to his grandparents in the
country. He was led away at bedtime
by his grandfather, who had instruc-
tions from home concerning the even
ing devotions.
But grandpa is very deaf and white
robed Johnny decided to introduce n
change in the usual programme, so
as he knelt by the bed he began:
"Come, little boy blue, come blow up
your horn. The sleeps in the meadow,
the cows in the corn" and repeated to
the end that familiar jingle of the
nursery.
That's good boy, Johnny" said
the old man as he tucked him into bed,
always say your prayers, and you will
grow up a good man." and Johnny
winked the other eye as he chuckled
over his little jeke.-Rochester Demo-
c7'dt and Chronicle.

The American Joke.

america, said Darweesh to one of
the ladies, "must be fine place and
very like Egypt. You have corn, to-
bacco, watermelons and big river
there"
"And crocodiles, too," she replied.
"Wallah!" he cried in admiration;
then, with a.slight touch of jealousy
that these blessings should be scatter
ed broadcast, he added: "Do they eat
men?"
mo, only dogs" she admitted
"Ah" he returned, exulting in the
superior gastronomic taste of the
Egyptian saurian, "ours eat men!"
"Of course yours will not eat dogs;
they are Moslem crocodiles," she
answered, referring to the Mohamme-
dams avoidance of the dog as an un-
clean animal.
AS one of the most lovable charac-
teristics of the Arab is his instant and
intense appreciation of the feeblest
joke, says a writer in Scribner'S, Oar.
weesh seemed much amused and re-
peated with many chuckles, ours are
Moslem crocodiles," " as he went about
his daily work.

A Russians Prophecy of War.

A Russian veteran having been
asked by an English tourist at War
saw if he thought there would be war
replied: "My dear sir, do you suppose
that Grand Dukes Alexis and Vladimir
have gone to France at this time of
famine, when they can be so little
spared, without a purpose? Do you
suppose that M. de Giers went there
for pleasure? Do you know, sir, that
we have our entire available force in
the vicinity of the German and Aus
trian frontiers? We have 100000
men, including $4,000 cavalry, posted
on our western frontiers In St.
Petersburg we have $4,000 men, in
Moscow $4,000. The Caucasus and
central Asia, including Siberia, have
only 200, 900 men between them. Be-
sides, we have no recruits on our west
ern frontier, only men who have served
at least a year with the colors. Do
you think that all these precautions
have been taken for no purpose what
ever? We have q strong fleet in the
Black sea, and 100000 men ready for
embarkatiOn the moment favorable
opportunity presents itself; and when
we do declare war do not think we
shall make it with rosewater. We
have about half million of Cossacks.
These Cossacks we will let loose upon
the Germans. They will burn and kill
everything that comes in their way.
The. land that they will have passed
over will be black and desolate. Not a
tree, not a house will be left standing,
not blade of grass; not a child shall
survive to tell the tale"

A misunderstanding.

A well-dressed man, with his hat
tilted back on his ruffied hair and an
excited look in his eyes, entered De-
voe's art store at 101 Fulton street
Wednesday afternoon, says the N. Z.
San, and stalked up to the counter,
behind which several clerks were
standing. The man slapped his hand
imperatively on the counter. 81 want
a quarter " Million" he cried, "and
/ want it quick" The clerks turned
pale and stared at the stranger. A
porter slid quietly to the door to get
a policeman. The well-dressed but
excited stranger stared at the clerks
in astonishment. "What the dickens
is the matter with you fellows, any
howP" he cried. "Can't I get quar-
ter " million without all of you hav-
ing fits?" "Pray, sir, don't get ex-
cited" said a clerk, patting the man
on the arm. "The porter has just
gone after it. We can't get.so much
money in a second, you know" The
stranger looked thoughtful moment,
then laughed, and the laugh gave the
clerks another unpleasant shock. "Ha,
hap said the stranger. 81 see, l see.
Don't get alarmed. 1 merely want
paint paint, not cash. A quart of
vermilion paint" The clerks recov-
cred their self-possession. 81 beg
your pardon" said one, "but you
talked so fast that it sounded as if you
had demanded quarter of million.
We thought you meant dollars" The
stranger got his paint and the clerks
went out and treated themselves.

Really Quite NTercifuI.

1t was in the New York Central
depot. A well-dressed lady with her
Little Lord Fauntleroy son approached
the door leading to an outgoing train.
Both were laden with bundles. A
railroad official stood by the door.

head" exclaimed Fauntleroy in a very
swagger voice, and the official, amused
by the siX-year-old's audacity, con-
sented to become doorkeeper for the
occasion and complied
