4 Mean Trick

It was tho meanest trick ever played on the streets of New Orleans There was no humor in it, no fun Simply q piece of asininity such as men of very ordinary and groveling habit of mind love to indulge in
 These were the circumstances It was high noon on Canal street, and all the city was out in gala attire Through the midst of tho crowd that throngea along Canal street passed the tall and proud form of one of New Orleans most dis tinguished beaux With his eyes on the passing show, the beau took no notice of who walked by his side
 Now it just so happened that Il party of dall1ies were out for il promenade on Canal street They were female darlics, country female darkios. gaudily attired i'll red and blue, with fat, savage faces. black as the inside of crow. It further just so happened that thtso dMfies in making their Way along Canal street walked immediately by Che side of the well known and popular beau. Of egurse he didn | notice it, or if he did no- tiee it he was eantcmpnonsly umminds ful of it. Ii was out of Che question that any one should think he was walking with the country negrcssos dressed in red aud bluo
 Then the mean maH= came along and perPetrated the mean trick. It was a very simple trick, a very grave trick, and didn take half second to exc cute. As the mean mal approached the well known beau he glanced at him and then glanced at tho array of dar4ics Then he smiled eracioasly and took off his hat tremendously With the spon- taneous good breeding of a true. well known and popular beau, the well known and popular beau tAus saluted re- turned the salute and half dozen ladies who were pass.a5 hy at the time looked at him WonderinEly and then feigned to sec something the other way.

The Tillman dispensary law of South Carolina, has been knocked cut by the Supreme Court of that State This reminds us that the Governor of Maine in his last mes sage showed great dissatisfaction with the liquor law in vogue in his part of New England. It seems that the maintenance Of State agen- cies whether to provide unaduiter. ated liquor for useas a beverage or for medicinal purposes only has not proved to be blessing
 Tho partnership of the State in dispensing these fluids is not desir- able, at best, and the trend of prac- tieal opinion all over inc world on this question seems to rather lean toward local option license system, severe in it's penal ties, and conducted in q manher to parade the traffic and it's universally acknowledged evils as little as possi- ble before the public,

TAXATION questions having lately been so stirred up it will not be sur prising fl the fac is brought to gen eral attention that farm lands in many places are burdened, for State and county purposes, out of propor- tion to their yield. Other kinds of real estate are often more lightly taxed though producing infinitely greater returns. 1t might behooye the boards of equalization who feel so lively an interest in seeing the railroads and other corporations are not too heavily assessed, to give this thought some consideration

This system was devised by crank named Pingree and consists in growing vegetables on vacant city lots for sale or origi- nal consumption Col Coleman has announced his withdrawal from the enterprise. owing. as he says, to the lateness of the season, but probably because the general public laid back and laughed at the whole proposi- ton. The idea of interspersing the business building and residences of a town with unseemly cabbage and potato patches seemed too funny.

Highway Improvement.

While there is room for honest
difference Of opinion as to the
methods of roadbuilding, the great
est obstacle to improvement in this
direction is the stubborn and dis
couraging fact that good roads cost
money. Farmers shy at increased
taxes for road purposes and usually
manage to defeat any effective legis-
latlon looking to better road sys-
tenn. A small road tax is levied
every year, which may be paid in
money or work, at the option of the
taxpayer, and this is expended in
repairing mere clay roadways, which
are always just as bad after the
fall and spring wet weather as they
were before the repairs were made.
The aggregate amount of money
expended on the older highways OF
the country would have provided
permanent roads long ago if wisely
expended under competent direc.
zion aJ any one Illne, DuG having
been expended in annual driblets.
with no intelligent foresight, the
money has been as good as thrown
away.
1t is evident that the only two
practical forms of road agitation
must be in the direction of speci
men sections of road in as many 10
callties as possible and the educa
ton Of the taxpayers to econom,
of better roads. A specimen mil,
of good road in every township
would result eventually in univers
ally good roads, for the specimen
mile would prove q convincing ed
ucator.
If the good road reformers vii
construct specimen good roads IL
the sections in which they reside
the good roads revolution will b,
given immediate and Irresistible
impetus. 1t is not more good road
agitation needed but more goo(

Where Charity Should Bee

Bishop Paret, of theEpiscopal do
cese of Maryland, has issued an APP
peal to the friends of charitable
work within his jurisdiction to the
effect "that they should not exer-
else themselves unduly concerning
the wants Of the west or of foreign
countries in this respect so long as
the field in their immediete reach
remains uncovered"
Now, that is excellent good sense
and should be made the governing
principle in the distribution of all
charities from the churches of all
denominations and associations.
Charity should always begin at
home, and when that field is sup
piled then spread out into as broad
an area as possible.

JUST FORTY YEARS AGO
New Years the Last Stage Coach from
Baltimore Arrived in Wheeling.


Baltimore Arrived in Wheeling.
1t may be interesting to the
younger generation, who do not re-
member anything about it, and
doubly interesting to the old who
do know, to have recalled the fact
that just forty-two years ago New
Years day the last through United
States mail arrived in Wheeling by
stage coach from Baltimore.
John E. Reside, says the Balti-
more Sun, now resident of Balti-
mere, was in charge of the stage
which made the last trip, arriving
in Wheeling on New Years day,
1858.
Mr.. Resides father, the late
James Reside, was a pioneer in
this travel. The son entered the
same business when about Is years
old, and continued extending coach
lines westward until they reach the
Pacific coast. Railroads followed
III the wake Of the coach lines, and
took away their bushes of carrying
passengers and mails.
&s56ebly the most interesting of
Nh Resides experiences were in
connection with the natlonul road
or cold pike" projected by the ma
tional government in 1906. The
road extended from Cumberland,
Nd, westward over the Alleganies
to the Ohio river. 1t was the main
artery of travel for passenger, mail
and freight traffic until the Baltl-
more & Ohio took its place.
"The stage coach headquarters
III Baltimore" said Mr.. Reside,
"were at old Barnum's hotel. The
coaches used were open at the front
and sides, with seats for II passen-
gers besides the driver. All the
seats faced the front of the vehicle.
Saddlebags, which were carried at
that time for baggage, were hung
on the posts supporting the top of
the stage. A small rack behind for
trunks, was seldom used. A tin
lantern with tallow dip, placed
over the driver, was used at night.
-Four strong horses drew these
coaches, with relays every ten or
twelve miles at stages or stations,
from which probably came the
name of the vehicle. The average
rate of fare was six cents a mile.
At first travel was only in the day
time, with stops over at night at
the numerous excellent inns or tav-
ems which lined the road.
Gone Of the great Instructions to
travel along the road were the large
droves of sheep, cattle and hogs be-
ing driven to market from the wes-
tern plains to the eastern markets.
- --lhA, ,es!ttle, especially, with their
long horns pointed toward the on
coming coach, made a formidable
obstruction.
"The 272 miles from Baltimore
to Wheeling, was first made in four
days, with nightly stops. The best
stage coach time was afterwards re-
duced to fifty hours by the old
Eclipse line, established by James
Reside"
Mr. Reside IS probably the only
surviving stage coach contractor of
national prominence. He is a ma
tive Of Cum berland. Samuel Lur-
man, said to be the oldest Lying
stage coach driver, now lives in
Cumberland.
