Hard Work Getting Into Prison,

Most men WHO are sentenced to the
penitentiary endeavor to escape their
punishment, and the officers of the law
are vigilant to defeat this purpose. In
the case Of john A. Denton, who was re-
ceived at the Maryland ~penitentiary the
other day to serve a term Of three years
for embezzlement from the county com
missioners of Howard county, the usual
order of things was reversed.
1t is stated that on Wednesday night a
fine looking young man inquired at the
penitertiary for Warden Weyler. The
warden happened to be out, and the man
explained to the doorkeeper that he was
John A. Denton Of Howard county, and
that he had been sentenced to serve a
term in the p~enitentiary. The doorkeep-
er detained his visitor until Warden
Weyler returned. Denton told the same
story to the warden. Mr.. Weyler, it is
stated, declined to receive his visitor,
not having the right to imprison him
without a commitment or other identiti-
cation. The man seemed crestfallen and
disappointed and walked slowly away.
The next afternoon he returned with &
sheriff of Howard county and the propel
commitment. Denton will probably be
given clerical duties to perform during
his imprisonment. He was at large on
bond for some time pending the hearing
of the appeal in his case before the court
of appealsat Annapolis. Baltimore Sun.

A dinner giver has mustered courage
to write to the newspapers to complain
of the people who arc always late for
that hospitable meal. Whatever time
wes fix it, and though we give them a
quarter of an hours law-putting 7:45
for 6, for example, on u invitations
they do not make their appearance till
long afterward. The dinner is spoiled,
our other guests are naturally annoyed,
and yet there seems no remedy"
The remedy, as James Payn points
out, is of the simplest and yet most eff
c~acious kind. Never wait. If the fail
ure in the arrival of these belated guests
is due to accident, they will of ours be
pleased that you did not put back the
dinner for an indefinite period. So far
from being rude, You are giving them
credit for the politest feelings. If they
intended to be late-which is the only
way some people have of impressing
others with a sense of their importance
they will, on the other hand, be very
possibly offended at having been de-
prived Of the opportunity of putting
their fellow creatures to inconvenience,
and the result is still more satisfactory
for they will never co1ne again.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

An Ant Story,


Men who have hunted woodchucks
know that they never climb trees. That
is, it is not their nature to do so, and no
one familiar with their habits would be-
lieve that n ever did unless he saw it
himself. The pastor of a little Baptist
church in Kentucky knew this character
istic of the animal, and on it based a
story. The congregation was in debt
800 for it's new church, and one Sunday
was set for making an appeal for sub
scriptions. In the course of his exhorta.
ton that the members of his flock be lib
eral, the minister said:
"This congregation is like a wood
chuck a man once told me about. He
was hunting the woodchuck with dogs,
he said, and they pressed it SO closely
that it finally climbed a tree.
But | said to my friend, wood
chucks can't climb trees, and you know
it,
"'This woodchuck had to climb a
tree replied my friend, and that's the
way it is with this congregation. You
say you can't raise 800. but you've got
to do it,"
The congregation saw the point, and
$3.50 was raised on the spot, and the rest
was secured that week.-New York
Tribune.

The craze for ''bigness" evidences
itself in many ways in the United States.
Enormously high buildings are now be-
coming a dangerous mania. The Cham
Der of Commerce in New York is 200
feet high; but, great as that height
seems, it is only a comparatively lofty
structure. The Masonic temple is 27C
feet high and has no fewer than &c
stories. There are several hat come
near to this, but the Manhattan Life
Assurance company's building will be
the highest in America, for though it is
to contain two stories less than are
found in the Masonic temple-only Is
that is to say-it will be $50 feet from
roof to MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Experience of a Ratified Hunter Who
Was Loaded Down With Game.
Fully 40 men started out from this
place Saturday afternoon to shoot ducks,
and in one party was Charley Aims
worth, a married man, who has resided
here for q year and a half. Ainsworth
got separated from the rest of the party,
but the game was so plentiful that by a
o'clock he had bagged twelve ducks and
one brant, and thinking he had as many
birds as he needed, concluded he would
return home. He was probably less
than three miles from home at that
time, but the rushes were so high that
he could not see the tall smokestacks at
the mills, and before the sun went down
he lost his reckoning. Not returning
home at night, his wife became alarmed,
and at daylight Sunday morning a party
Of IL took a boat and pulled down the
river and up Conway's bayou, where
they found Ainsworth's boat pulled up
on the shore. Twelve men started into

met with no success.

presented q communication from 81 OF

that they had witnessed Il test of the
road and the result was very satisfac-
tory. The roadway proper is formed OF
a gravel or broken stone surface divided
into sections by means of transverse lines

surface. These lines of stone tend to
make the gravel or intermediate mate
rial proof against local disturbance from
the Unfortunately heavy vehicle wheels
or from the action of rushing water,
Each side of the roadbed is flanked by
a gutter filed in with broken stone oil
cobblestones. which provides IL curbliks
structure to prevent the gravel from be
ing unduly spread by the constant actor
of the wheels. The roadbed is slightly
curving along the center, with IL Sigh
channel along the edges, where at suit
able intervals are constructed blint
drains that allow the water to escape il
the adjacent soil. On an inclire "a serie
