NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-London market
slightly better. Advices from Chicago are
bearish on ID. G. +. intimating that quo
warranto proceedings will be resumed.
Union Pacific, Denver a Gulf has con-
cluded a traffic agreement with Denver q
Rio Grande. Good demand for UnionsPa-
cific branch line bonds. A very quiet
market due today.
One OF the most gratifying signs, in con.
nection with the present depression OF
trade throughout the country is the vol
ume of the consumptive demand. Last
fall when il became evident that crops
would be poor the most gloomy anticipa-
tions were current as TO the future OF
the country's business. The argument
was made that the people would have no
money with which to purchase manufac-
tured goods and that practical deadlock
in manufacturing would result. However
there is great change and mills which
shut down for lack of orders are resuming
business. The demand is growing and
the consumption Is increasing.
The market opened heavy with gen.
eral selling of sugar in small lots on un-
favorable tariff talk.
Demand exchange is quoted at <4.eo
and upwards. One or two OF the foreign
houses think it quite possible that
little gold may be shipped in consequence
of the strength. Gold, however, will not
go muchs under $.S8A, as there Is but
little demand for 1t in London.

What Good Roads Mean.

They would make it possible for the
farmers to take advantage promptly of
the highest market, no matter at what
season of the year
They would save him days and weeks
of time which he wastes every year
wallowing through the disgusting mire
of dit roads.
They would reduce to minimum the
wear and tear on wagons and carriages.
They would lessen the expense in
keeping horses in working order, and
fewer horses would be required in the
country to perform the farmers work.
They would require less to keep them
in repair than do the dirt roads.
They would make it easier for a team
to pull several tons over their smooth
surface than to draw wagon through
the mud.
They would afford ready communica-
ton with the outside world at all sea-
sons of the year.
They would save the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand for
country and suburban proper ty.-Farm

heather, varied by strolls through the
fragrant pines or along the calm shore
at eventide. Ella was by no means
averse to my trying my fortune on the
turf in the way prescribed by Natty,
but stipulated there should be no bet
ting. She said her father was some
what better disposed toward me since
hearing of my having inherited a legacy
from my uncle, but agreed with me it
was better he should not at present be
informed of the character of that leg
acy, of which, so far, he was entirely
ignorant.
Il believe, George. " she said, 'he is
so incensed at Sir Wilfrid's doings in
that way that he would forbid me ever
to speak TO you, again. He has said he
will never give me shilling if marry
without his consent.
Then these horses, declared, must
win us enough to do without the shil-
ling, but was far from sanguine in
my own heart of their being able to do
SO.
So passed the summer away, not I'M
pleasantly, with a little lovemaking and
a good deal of regimental cricket. while
as for work-generally it must be adj
mitted a matter of secondary impor-
lance, or no importance at all, witlaour
fellows-I took a great interest in my
troop, for had entered the army as
profession, and it was my ambition to
know my work.
In the autumn was again at Bourne
mouth on a few days leave, and Ella,
having contrived to be there at the same
time, and the horses being now report
ed fit to be tried, we chartered wag-
onette to drive over and see them, Ger
aldine and Ella, Natty Forwood and L.
The mater utterly refused to lend her
countenance to any turf proceedings
whatever, SO Mrs. Fitz Travers, Elias
friend, came with us as q chaperon 10
the girls. And what drive we had,

we take it farmer fashion here says he,
and with that he cut out hinge of beef
steak for me, squirted the gravy into the
preachers ear and just missed stabbing
the carving knife into the hired girl as
she passed by. Her corset saved her life.
"Oh, he was the very worst ever saw.
What ever put it into his head to enter
tain people l don't know. He kept the
tenderloin himself and kicked at one of
the children under tive table with such
vigor that he missed the child and in
jured both his own leg and that of the
table.
''He was the man who found out that
q watermelon could be favored with
most anything while growing by intro
ducing the fluid flavor through the grow
ing stem, and then get out a patent for
inoculating the melon With jamaica gin

showed greater possibilities as clay
bank ass than most any man l ever saw.

that, although he wanted me to do SO
and rather insisted on it, offering to let
me select from the little boys whichever
one would rather sleep with"

it was Emerson who told me about it.

On the anniversary of dear Uncle
Geoff's decease 1 would have been glad
had he never left me his horses, or,
having done SO, that had had the wis
dom to sell them all Then | should
have been several hundred pounds to
the good, whereas now, SO far as could
see, this COMPOUNDED Skittles would
cost me all her late stable companions
had made, while l did not believe she
would ever win me race. Other mat
tiers also combined to worry me. My
cousin, Richard Dakyn, who now lived
at Stockwood, which he had done up and
made into quite a nice little place, was
making love to Ella, and being pos
sessed of comfortable means of course
her parents encouraged his efforts to
cut me out. l was not afraid of Ella,
though she seemed to like him we'll
enough, but | knew it was not fair to
keep a nice girl waiting indefinitely
for a man who might after all never be
able to marry her. I would have done
this at once could we have induced her
father to'give her the e5, 600, but this
was exactly what he would not do.
Said he would not think of it until
could put into settlement at least
twice that amount, which iIritated me
exceedingly, for really loved Ella and
thoroughly abhorred the idea of making
my marriage with her mere matter
of pounds, shillings and pence.
Still it was coming to that, whether
| would or no. OF course could not
marry on my captains pay. Ours was
not an expensive regiment, and ! got on
well enough on that and on the inter-
est on e3, 900, which was all my father
had to leave me after providing for my
mother and sister. But marriage was

Thursday night within less than go miles
of Harmony Grove. On the Wednesday
before the would be groom sent the fol
lowing message to his fancee:
II am on horse trade. How would
it suit you to put off the marriage until

Sorely disappointed, but not hopeless,
she sent him the following message:
eff you are certain that the horse you
are trying to trade for is not moon eyed,
or swim eyed, or got the campus, or a
stumpsucker, and will work we'll to a

of course | will wait; but, O dearest,

How'll We swap, mister"

How IL ye swap, mister!
1t was the upper end of that most pic
turesque spot, Haymarket square, in
Lewiston, and a gaunt countryman, in
cowhides that looked to have been greas-
ed in red heifer's grease, was half in and
half out of an old sleigh bleached white
by the snow and rains of many a winter.
The horse attached to the sleigh by
means of harness that had been pieced
with rope and string till but few of the
original straps were there-the horse we
saw was the most discouraged and bro
ken winded looking bag of bones that we
had ever seen, unless, of a truth, the 9th

the countryman, addressing one of his
neighbors who had come ''down to the

and scratched rough and ragged beard

True Economy In ROadbuildinC.

1t must be borne in mind that in road
construction, as in everything else, low
cost i'll tho first instance is frequently a
waste in tho end. Ultimate and per-
manent economy can only be insured by
such liberal expenditures in the first
place as may DO necessary to secure
those results that are needed to meet the
requirements of each particular case
and at the same time to minimize the
continuous expense of maintenance.
Unintelligent economy in construction
results in an unsatisfactory structure
that remains a constant drag on the
