Failed to Cure the Cork Leg.

At the military levee given by the Boston
Lancers at their armory few evenings ago
Representative Crosby from Worcester was
seated at table in the gentlemen room sur
rounded by other members of the House who
oticiate on the same committee and party
OF other nOtables all of whom were enjoying
one of Mr.. Crosby's stories Mr. Crosby said
that 1t was well known fact he wore an arti-
fetal leg, that missing member having been
lost during the late unpleasantness between
the north and the south while he was serving
in the naval department after retiring from
long and faithful service in the army His
story:
Years ago when was in the habit of com
ing to Boston on business was on one cold,
wintry day, wandering down Sudbury street
as best | could when l was aCcosted by a
seedy individual with all the airs of a medical
expert, who said, / can cure that game leg of
yours in Just ten minutes said, Can you:
curbstone and in just ten minutes you can
walk away a well man."
Mr.. Crosby said he persuaded the crank to
walk along to the nicely furnished Office of a
friend, where they could work in the warmth
OF an inviting CRATE, On entering the office
the friend was made aware of the condition
OF affairs, and, of course. made the surround
lngs as agreeable as possible so as to facili-
tate the hazardous undertaking. Everything
ready, Mr.. Crosby pulled up his trousers leg
and the man proceeded to rub the afflicted
member for a moment, without removing the
underclothtng which hid the artificial limb
NOW the time had come to apply the wonder
ful llnlment, and the undercothing was re-
moved, and to the horror OF the ">Quack,n he
beheld cork leg, and was spellbound for
a moment
When he recovered he remarked: You
think are smart, don't you?" which was
greeted with a roar of laughter.
Mr., Crosby said in conclusion, amid peals
OF laughter from his friends about him: 1T
cost that quack several dollars before he es-
capped from that office"

One oront r1eed Of Farmers.

The Importance Of good roads is not a1-
rreciltcd by farmers They do TO, s2cu
to understand that one of the great
Obstacles 70 their prosperity is the almost
/ i0lpass1blc condition Of the highways.
There are comparatively few counties I'M
the whole country whose roads are not
neglected People will not assist in re-
pairing roads if they can avoid doing so,
and. as a rule, fair road tax meets with
decided opposition.
Il is a fact weu Worth noticing, however,
that wherever there are good roads the
farms have a thrifty appearance and the
farmers are prosperous.
t'ow farmers realize how great the cost
Of had roads is. They fail to taEeinto &C
count the fact that il would cost them a
great deal less to keep their wagons and
harness in repair and to feed their horses
if the roads We're good, and that the cost
Of getting their products to market would
be much less. 1t is safe to say thata far
mcr living FIVE miles from "a market town
would, if the road was good one. be bet
ter OFF by at least 800 a year
than if the road was bad one.
If every farmer living along the road
should put one-half that sum on it for
few years it would be an excellent road,
and would then cost almost nothing to
keep it in repair
A committee of the United States Sen
ate viii, this summer, investigate the
condition of agriculture and find out, if
possible, the causes for the existing de
preston The committee should give
special attention to the highways. twill
find, probably, that the depression is
greatest where the roads are worst.
Where the roads are bad farmers are
likely to be much more discouraged than
where they are good, because there are
few things more likely to make a farmer
take a hopeless view of the future than
bad roads.
In fact good roads are an indication of
an advancing civilization. They mean
that the people who live along them and
use them have broader views of life and
get more out of it than those who are con
tent to struggle through mud, be iolted
over stones and in holes or suffocated by
dust year in and year out.

Roused the lowe voters.

J. J. Richardson, the member OF the demo-
cratic national committee from Iowa, is at the
Ebbitt, says the Washington News. Mr..
| Richardson is a power in Iowa politics and
was in manner largely responsible for GOV
Boies' triumphant election. Hehas served on
the national committee since 1884, and in the
recent campaign was one OF the most lnde-
IdtlgaDle workers about the headquarters IN
Fifth avenue: Mr.. Richardson is a native of
Vermont. but went to Iowa in his early man
mood. He resides at Davenport where he
edits the leading daily paper Of his adopted
state.
In speaking of some of the prominent dem
| ocratc orators in the last campaign Mr.. Rich
ardson told good story on Representative
/ Allen OF Mississippi. According to the story
| Congressman W. G.. p. Breckenridge had been
| announced to speak in a small hamlet in the
/ interior OF New York state, aNd. being unable
| 10 nil the appointment, Mr.. Allen was induced
! TO go in his stead. When Allen arrived at the
| village depot he was met by the chairman of
/ the Town committee. gentleman who was re-
maTkable only for the originality Of his pro
I fanlty. When Allen explained to him that he
! had been sent as a substitute for Mr.. Breekin-
/ ridge the chairman was disguised and took
/ no pains to conceal the fact
We'll Il be blanllety BANKED blank he
exclaimed savagcly TO Allen as they walked
toward the town hall That is always the
way here; they promise rs o good speaker
ana then send us some blankety BANKED
blank Teller we never heard of. Can you
Allen remarked meekly that he would try.
When they reached the hall and had mounted
the little platform the chairman addressed
the meeting somewhat as follows:
Fellow Citizens and Ladies-I regret to
say that we shall be greatly disappointed in
not being able to hear from the great silver
/ tongued orator of the famous Blue Grass re
glOn OF Kentucky, w. c. p. Breckenridge: but
the national committee. however, sent US in
his stead another eloquent orator from the
/ sunny south, whose name is a household word
| from Maine to California. / refer, ladies and
] N.
| Mr."
Then leaning over to Allen, he said in
hoarse whisper, that could be heard all over
| the hall: .......
What the h-ll did you say your name was,
anyway
Mr.. Allen grimly gave his name, and before
/ the meeting had concluded people were re
| marking: Gee whiz, can Breckinridge beat
I him.
