library one day tall. highlander, who had
been building an inn near by, came in

May it please you, Sir Walter. I am
going to call my place the Flodden Inn
and as ye've written a poem on Flodden
Field it struck me and the guidwife that

Walter

Then you know nothing about it?''
"Nothin'; but I've heard them saw as

The Pnving auestion.

Time was when people we're glad to have
cobblestone pavements, or even splintering
plank roads rather than endure heavy,
sandy streets, miry in wet weather and
dusty when it was dry. Later on gray
wacke or Belgian blocks were considered a
luxury. But "the world moves and
street paving moves with it. What our
forbears considered good was good enough
Only because they could get nothing bet
ter. At this day no one drives on cobble-
stone pavements unless there is no street
otherwise paved within a reasonable dis
tance; and to a less extent this is true of
graywacke. Both paving materials are
bad and noisy. The noise incident TO
their use is not only disagreeable, but de-
structive to the nerves. In any modern
paving unless it is be for the very heaviest
traffic, such materials should not be used
on city streets. The claim that these ma
terials are more durable than others is
delusion. It IS true that the stones do
not wear away but the pavement con-
stanuy needs relaying and repairs, just
as do those of other materials.
No paving is everlasting; none is without
the necessity of repairs and constant out
lay. We had just as well think of going
back to horse cars and doing away with
electricity as to think of going back TO
graywacke and cobblestones The mod
ern pavement is made of vitrihed brick or
asphalt; especially so in a city like Savan-
nah with its many thoroughfares and scat
tered street traffic. The claim that as
phalt requires a great deal of repairing and
attention is no doubt well founded. One
very good reason why it needs much care
is TO be found in the fact that where it is
used the traffic is always greatest. 1t at
tracts travel, and consequently suffers
wear. Nevertheless, In considering the
cost of asphalt it should be always borne
in mind that all paving has to be kept up.
If the city authorities intend to replace
the cobblestone paving on Drayton street
with modern pavement, the work should
be done in a scientific manner and with
modern materials, which means either vi
trfied brick or asphalt. Possibly the bet
ter plan would be to use both--brick from
Bay street to Ogethorpe avenue and as
phalt the remainder of the distance. And
while the authorities are about it. it might
be well for them to continue the paving to
the southern limits of the city, and in
clude New Houston street from Drayton
to Whitaker in the plan.

Life Is Risky In Oklahoma

IT see that they are trying to do away
with capital punishment out in Oklahoma >"
said a Detroiter who once spent several
years in ascertaining what fortune would
do for him in the west, says the Detroit
Free Press. THAT reminds me of some
thing.
Il was there when the first legislators
passed the hanging law. The man that
introduced the bill was 1. n. Terrill. He
was next door to a border rufian, but he
was dramatic speaker, could make an
impressive amount of noise, and had his
measure enacted.
while the laws of the session were be-
ing codified the clerks on the work were
startled by pistol shot on the street, and,
looking out the window, saw Terrill stand
ing with a smoking revolver over a. citizen
ne had killed He was the first man to be
sentenced under the new act Had he
paid the penalty he would have been the
example of a man who made law to
hang himself. but influence and new trials
got him off with twelve years in the peni-
tentiary.
But that Is not all. At the third ses-
sion of the legislature an attempt was
made to repeal the law. Henry st. John.
chairman of the committee on jurispru-
dence, opposed this movement and held
the report of the committee back. On the
last day the house made an imperat tive
demand for the report. but st. John coolly
put it into his pocket, left the building
ana did not return until the session had
expired by limitation
And what happened to him?''
He went to his home in Oklahoma CITY.
and within a few days came the terrible
news that he had murdered his wife. You
may call it fate, justice accident, what
you please, but it happened. ."

HAM AND EGGS.
CHARMING MUSIC.

A man with an eye for the odd went in,
took a seat and was waited upon by a
young woman, says the New York World
You have music here?" he. asked.
From a. m. until IL, and from p. m.
to g. she said.
why not all day?"
From about 11:SO a. m. to l p. m. is the
rush. We have to keep the customers
moving. If we had music then the custom
ers at the tables would linger and we
wouldn't do as much business
Your sign indicates that music is fur
nished with ham and eggs only. If
should order bean soup would l get any
music with it?''
The young woman became confused, but
the customer assured her that he was not
trying to be funny.
Does it make any difference how the
eggs are ordered?" he asked, "as to the
music that is furnished? l know that
when you speak of ham and eggs you
think of the eggs in that state which is
described as turned over or sunny side
up. But in my own case I should not
want them that way. 1 want my eggs
hard boiled. In that case what would the
orchestra play?"
1T amt an orchestra
well, what is the music which you fur
nish-it makes no difference to me- / like
even a jew's-harp."
do you want ham with your hard
boiled eggs?" she asked, evading the Gus
toner's query.
That is what I wish to know Your
sign conveys the Information that your
ham and eggs and music go together. If
there is anything in the meat line 1 alb
hor it is ham. If 1 do not order the ham
L suppose 1 do not have the music OF
course, l could order the ham and not
eat it, but that would not be fair. You
certainly do not wish me to pay your
for anything 1 do not want
THE music plays just the same, no
matter what you eat said the young
woman, having got a second hold on her
spunk. You don't have to have ham il
you don't want it,"
But the sign says ham and eggs and
charming music"
Then the sign does not mean what it
says?"
You can't get no music, no how, this
time o. day" she said. mo difference
what you order Taint the time o. day
for music. If it's music you're looking
for you'll have to come in later
Then you have deceived me. I shall
have to go to the opera for my music
and get my hard-boiled eggs elsewhere.
Do you know that your place is obtaining
money under false pretenses?"
And this is why there was a sign. 1t
is not there now. The proprietor removed
it after he had heard of the funny mans
idiotic remarks.

No "New Element.

1t is reported that Maj. Hanson has
been talking in Washington about the rec
ognition by the President OF some myth
cal new element" in Georgia republican
ism. If he has been proceeding upon the
assumption that the few Georgia demo-
Gratis who voted for Mckinley last fall
because of their objections to the money
plank Of the Chicago platform are repub-
leans, or will become republicans, he has
based his calculations upon wrong prem
ises. The democrats who voted for Nc
Kinley did so In the erroneous belief, or
rather the hope, that the republican party
could be trusted TO obey the mandates of
the people and take action upon the hnan-
cial question for the good of the country.
They had reason to think no radical pro-
tective tariff legislation would be attempt
ed. but that whatever was done in the
way Of amending the tariff laws would be
TO the end Of providing needed revenue.
Such democrats, with much disgust
have now seen their error. They have
seen not only the demands OF the people
ignored, but the south attacked in tariff
ever suggested TO be inflicted upon the
American people. So Tar from relieving
the conditions which the misguided DEM
ocrats thought they were voting to have
relieved, the republicans are actually nov
ing TO make them worse. And nobody
knows this better than those who make
up the so-called new element" which
Maj. Hanson seems 10 think has become
or will become q part OF the republican
party. But he is mistaken IN his conciu-
sions. IL the alleged new element" had
the voting to do over again, they would
vote the straight democratic ticket, eVan
" they had TO take the consequences. ="
Therefore, the President need not waste
great deal OF time in seeking how this
political myth OF a new element may be
propluated. There Is no new element In
Georgia republieanism. II Is tho same
old party, without prospect OF improve
nent

in New York, where 1t was demonstrated
that the capacity of a wire could be

There are two noteworthy points In the
new tariff bill which emphasize them
selves so strongly when the measure is
subjected to careful analysis that it
would seem no rational person could over
look them.
One is that the bill is a tacit confession
on the part Of the advocates of high pro-
tective tariffs that a protective tariff is an
tagonisuc to the effort to get revenue
producing tariff.
The other point Is that tariff legislation
in this congress has been made part Of
the game of politics.
