TOLL R0A05 IN KENTUCKY.

There is an air Of business about the

the subject of free turnpikes The mae
adamized roads of Kentucky have been
famous fer their excellence. They are
splend i highways, and in the older

Kentucky Is u pretty large owner Of

also "a great deal Of county money in
vested in the turnpikes, several counties
having invested heavily in this way IN
the past few years.
But toll roads, however excellent and
valuable, are not cheap The tolls are
regulated by law, but at the lowest they
constitute heavy tax on the commu-

Colossus OF Roads"

This Scott story is revived by The
Argonaut; Mr.. J. L. Macadam, the
Scotchman who invented the kind of
paving which bears his name, is said to
have been guest at a large dinner Civ

asked to respond to a toast, Mr.. Mac

FABLE OF TIE THREE CHURCHES.


Once upon time-a long, long While
ago, before the Christian Endeayor
movement-there Were three churches
built side by side. Tail board fences
parted them the one from the other.
Each was conspicuously placarded, the
one with I've, " the second with us, 4"
and the third with Our, thus sig
nifying to all beholders that the churches
belonged to the denominations then
known as Weists, Usites and Ourians.
But the churches We're empty. So the
Weist preacher stood in front of his
church urging folks to come in, con-
stantly proclaiming, 1--WE are the PEG
ple!" And the Usite preacher stood in
front Of his church, continually crying,
Come TO Cs," And the Ourian preach
er stood in front of his church, cease
lessly reiteratlng, ours only And
in the pauses of these calls they shook
their fists at one another.
All this, remember, was long, long
ago, before the Christian Endeavor
movement.
Now and then man would stop, at
tracted by the noise, would lock per
picked from the West to the Uslte, and
from the Usite to the Ourian. then shrug
his shoulders and pass CT his way. So
the churches remained empty.
But one glad day Christian Endeavor
came along beautiful, strong angel,
with the most loving eyes and the most
eager, outstretched hands-and be drew
these three men 70 himself. and they
held a little prayer meeting all together
in one Of the churches, it does not mat
ter which. AS they came out Of that
meeting, they all went to work and
pulled down the high board fences
Then they tore off the three signs,
1--WE, us" and Our. Then all
three took up their old positions, with
Christian Endeavor, on the sidewalk in
front of their churches and began to in
vite the people in. And the Weist cried,
Christ is the Saviour!" And the Usite
cried, Come to Christi" And the
Ourian cried, Christ only" And every
snce in awhile they held another prayer
meeting in one Of the churches, turn
about.
And you should have seen the people
focking in Some to this church, some
to that, according to their individual
preference, but all to Christ. And often
the crowds We're SO large that they had
to go forth and hold union outdoor
service in the square in front. And SO
the three churches flourish to this day,

Tho Gothenburg System.

The London Times correspondence
from Gothenburg has aroused consider
able interest in temperance circles by
its report of the workings Of the Scan

liquors The result is, of course, the in
creased sale of the latter in far greater
proportion than the decrease in the for
mer, the amount Of drunkenness re-
manning about the same. The result OF

Free Trader.
The French democracy is fond OF medi-
Ocrities" is the explanation given by his
opponents OF the unexpected election of NJ.
Francois Felix Faure to the presidency of
the French republic. It appears, however,
that Fnure was not entirely the choice OF
the democracy OF France, as many mon
archists voted for him, preferring his con-
servative and honest mediocrity to the
brilllancy Of Waldeck- Rousseau and the
radioalism Of NJ. Brisson. To America the
chief significance Of his election lies in the
fact that President Faure IS free trader
being large shipowner and a represent
atiye Of the great seaport Of Havre.
Like most Cf the presidential dark horses
we are familiar with in the United States,
Francois Felix Faure is a self made man
But, unlike most American presidents, he
has been chiefly distinguished as man Of
business rather than as a politician. He
was born IN Paris Jan. so, 1871, entered a
shipping Office in Hayre IL carly life and
in time rose to be one OF the principal
shipOwners in that important port. He
