A Profitable Story.

A small dirty newSbCy worked paying
game for week or so down in the shop
ping districts, says the Chicago Tribune.
He would don most pathetic expression,
go UP to a woman and say, "Missis, won t
you buy a paper? Dis is my birthday, and l
amt sold hardly any" OF course he
would sell one in nine cases out of ten, and
would generally get a nickel and be told
to keep the change. He must have kept
this up fully a week and reaped a bounti-
full harvest. At last one young woman
who had tired of the same story and who
became rather sceptical on the subject of
the birthdays" stopped the young genius
and remarked in tones clear enough to be
heard some little distance: See here, lit
tie boy, what did you say, about your
birthday"
Lady please buy a paper; dis is my
birthday, and 1 amt sold but one paper to-
day." whined the young rascal.
Now, little boy, to my certain knowl-
edge you have had birthday every day
this week. Aren't you ashamed to tell
such stories?"
He was cornered for minute, and stood
with head cast down and every appearance
of remorse. At last he looked up with the
most innocent expression and said: well
you see, lady, you en- me we're different.
l amt very old. en- l thought I'd have a
lot of birthdays to oncet, en- den could quit
havin' EN- like you. See?''
She concluded he was past reforming,
and, slipping a dime in his hand moved
on signing over the wickedness of this gen

a pas Seul of his own invention.

The Ogeeehee Road.

The county superintendent of roads.
with force of hands. has begun prepar-
ing the road bed OF the Ogeechee road for
the ebert or other material with which
it is to be paved. The understanding is
that the road is to be built under the
direction Of the county engineer. In that
event, the presumption Is that it will be
constructed upon scientific principles-that
is, it will be properly drained and bridged
and the road bed will be so shaped and
protected that water will run from IL
quickly without making gullies. To make
a road without close attention 70 all Of
these matters would be a waste Of the
county's money.
1t is reported that the heavy rains OF
this summer have washed badly that por-
ton Of the Ogeechee road within the city
limits recently built by the city. We do
not undertake. to say whether the damage
done to the road is due to faulty con-
structiOn or not, or whether the dam
age is great. The city ought to have
the matter investigated, and the facts
made known. The construction of the
IL
likely to think otherwise. unless it is
shown that no road, however
well drained and built, could
have resisted successfully the heavy
rains of this month and last month. If
the construction is faulty and the road is
likely to be badly damaged, on account
of not being drained as it should be,
whenever there is a heavy rain the fact
ought to be known and admitted. and steps
taken at once to remedy the defect. The
cost of keeping in repair a road that is
not built as it should be very soon equals
the original cost and the road is never
a satisfactory one.
A vast amount of public money is vast
ed on public works because the work is
not done originally as 1t should be. The
desire to do great deal of work for a
very little money in order to make a
good showing is a natural one, and YET
such work, as a rule. is of little account,
and is very costly, as the taxpayers ulti-
mately find out.
1t would be better to build only one
mile year of the Ogeechee road in q
manner that would resist the heaviest
rain storms and the heaviest travel than
to build a half-dozen miles that would
have to be repaired after every heavy
rain. Now that we have entered upon road
building, let us build such roads as win
not be a constant expense for repairs.

The Plea for Double Fare.

The Atlanta Journal has taken up the
Morning News against extortionate rates
at Atlanta during the exposition. 1t
seems the boarding houses and hotels
have not increased their rates, or at
least have not increased them to such an
extent as to attract attention and call
out a protest.
The fight now is against the Atlanta
Street Railway Company that has deci-
ded to double its fare TO and from the
exposition grounds. The plea of the COM
pany for doubling ITS fare is that 1t has
gone to a great expense to prepare for
tory plea. In ordinary times scent
fare to or from the exposition grounds
is regarded as ample. If ample when
there are not crowds 10 handle it ought
to be highly satisfactory when there are
crowds. The street car company ought
to be thankful for an Increase of busi-
ness that requires additional means of
transportation, because there is a profit
in every fare received.
This Atlanta company seems to think
that the public ought to pay, in addition
to the regular fare for whatever extra
cars that may be required to accommo-
date it's patrons. In ether words the
public must buy the cars and then pay
for riding in them. Suppose the great
steam railroads should take the same
view of the situation. They would put
up instead Of lower fares during the ex-
position.
The managers of the exposition should
arrange to have the people transported
to and from the fare in some other way
than by the street car lines. They cam
not afford to have the impression get
abroad that the people who visit the
fair are to be subjected to all the
squeezing they will stand by those
upon whom they will be dependent while
in Atlanta. 1t won't be a difficult mat
ter to keep tens of thousands Of people
away from the fair. In fact, the attend
ance will not be overwhelming unless
there are assurances that visitors will
be accorded fair treatment.

A Remnrl.nhIe Chnnme.

Those who doubt that the silver craze
is dying out should study the rise and
decline of the craze in Ohio. In September,
1894, the state democratic convention, by
vote of ass to SlS, adopted a platform
which contained a dissent from the
Presidents views, construction and
treatment of the silver question" 1t also
contained the following: 1--WE favor the
unlimited free coinage of silver at the
legal ratio of 16 to l, and with equal legal
tender powers"
Now, let us look at the state demo-
cratic convention of 1895. which met a few
days ago. What was the declaration of
congratulated the President for upholding
the credit of the country and declared for
''the maintenance of the parity Of the
two metals and the equal power of every
dollar in the payment of debts" In other
words it repudiated free silver coinage
and declared for sound money. The ques-
ton of free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer was presented in a separate resolu-
ton. There were go votes for it and SIS
against it,
Was not this a remarkable change in
one year? Yet a similar change has

Hetty Green in the Role of Farmer

Up in Vermont there is a very beautiful
country place where Mrs. Hetty Green
goes every summer with her husband and
her daughters, says the Chicago Tribune.
She is there now, and were you to meet
her any day walking along the road with
pail of berries or coming in from the gar
dens with basket of tomatoes you would
judge her to be the happy wife of a we'll
to-do farmer.
I'm here" says the wealthy Mrs. Het-
ty, because folks can't find me out with
out coming long way. I'm here for my
husban's rheumatism, and I'm here be-
cause my daughter isn't strong, and more
than all, I'm here for the reason that I IN

and raise crops. I've raised everything
we've had on the table for a month, even
to the meat. You may doubt the meat

rive Pounds PenaIty.

Notice has been served upon the New
York Cotton Exchange by the Liverpool
Cotton Exchange that beginning with
the season of 1862 a penalty of five
pounds per bale will be assessed upon all
cotton which arrives in Liverpool in bad
condition, or which does not conform to
the standard adopted at the maritime con-
vention held at New Orleans last winter.
at which a uniform length, width and den
sity for cotton bales was adopted. The New
Orleans Picayune. referring to the matter,
warns Liverpool that she is no longer
the absolute dictator of the cotton trade,
and that if she attempts threats and CO.
ercion it will be the worse for her. The
building of the Manchester ship canal has
put the great manufacturing center of
England in water communication with the
shipping ports, hence. If Liverpool gets
too dictatorial the cotton will be sent
elsewhere than to her docks.
The action of the Liverpool exchange in
fixing the time for the rule to go into
effect so far ahead suggests that maybe
the exchange is merely feeling the pulse

ing to induce better baling.
