elbow did Dixie learn to ride? Why"
said Mrs. Norton, che was always crazy
to go out, and one evening last sum-
mer picked up his basket and held
him at arms length while 1 rode around
the block. After that he used to perch
on my shoulder, but as his avoirdupois
increased I was obliged to swing him
from the handle bar"
The query: "Dixie, do you want to go
to rider" is sufficient to send Dixie

Sam Jones on Bryan.

Rev. Sam Jones was asked by an At.
lanta Journal reporter what he thought
of Mr.. Bryan's recent lecture in At.
lanta. He said:
VI have read the reports before and
after the lecture | have been more or
less in the lecture business myself for
fifteen years, Mr.. Bryan's lecture, as
reported by the press in Atlanta, would
not sell for 10 cents a dozen in n
market in any world. It. reminds me
of the Valley of Dry Bones without the
hope that they would ever rattle again.
In the fury and confusion OF a political
campaign Mr.. Bryan is a boy orator,
but his lecture on The Old Land
marks was stillborn and he had better
bury the kid.
People who pay 80 cents or 81 so at
the door want entertainment. Mr..
Bryan detained them, from all reports,
but did not entertain them. A lecture
to go, as the saying is, must have com.
mon sense, logic, wit, sarcasm and
humor. In other words, a lecturer
ought to play upon his audience like q
trained musician plays upon q piano,
sweeping the whole keyboard.
Mr.. Bryan was a bigger man a
week ago in Atlanta than he is today.
Really, when a nan rides a hobby for
six months he can not ride any sort of
o horse unless 1t is on rockers. Mr..
Bryan said one sensible thing while In

that contract to deliver fifty lectures.

Another bodice to a striped silk gown
had the fronts made of white crepe lisse,
studded with silver spangles There was a
silver belt, with a chased buckle. There
was lace set, consisting of a figaro, a
haring collar and sleeve caps and cuffs.
The sleeves were in the new mode and had
the putfs of silk and the rest of shirred
crepe lisse, studded with spangles. The
same general idea was carried out in a
figaro Of heavy Russian lace braided with
gold cord in the design Of the lace. The
front of the bodice was of plated silk, and
the crushed girdle of the same, while
around the figaro and the sleeve caps were
narrow ruffles of soft japanese Grape. The
sleeves were shirred from shoulder TO wrist
and made of japanese Grape.

state for roads. In New Jersey, for in
stance, the average township appropri-
alton for roads is 81 600. This amount
would build 1-2 miles of macadam road
which would last for years, but the
same sum expended in scraping dirt out
Of the cutters and spreading it on the
roadbed would be worse than wasted.
The science Of good roadbuilding is
not very complicated one either. AL
most every farmer knows the general
principles, but he seems to forget them
when he goes out to "work the road. +"
Drainage is an important factor. Even
dirt road can be made reasonably good
by sinking 6 inch drain in the middle
of it Just below the frost line. Macadam
roads, when rightly made, cost about
81, 900 mile Sometimes you will see
a gang of men dumping large rocks into
muddy spot in the road, and the over
seer will tell you that he is "macadam-
izing stretch" +" Large stones do we'll
enough for foundation, but it is vital
principle of roadbuilding that stones
even as large as hens egg will not
unite in firm, compact mass Macad-
am, the great English roadbuilder, used
to tell his foremen, "If you use a stone
bigger than you can put in your mouth,
I'll not pay for foot of the work.
This necessitates the use of a stone
crusher, and such machines will never
be used as long as the old system of
working out" road taxes is in vogue.
After good macadam road is built il
is very easily kept in repair. Marrow
tires and heavy loads will, however,
wear ruts in the hardest roadbeds The
League Of American Wheelmlen, which
has probably done as much to encourage
the building Of good roads as any other
organization, has introduced method
which it is hoped will tend to preserve
the roads. 1t has caused signs to be
erected along fine boulevards over which
heavy carting is done, requesting driv-
ers not to keep in one track. In Eu-
ropean countries still further precautions
are taken by compelling the use of wide
tires, and, in the case of four wheeled
wagons, of wheels that do not track, the
front axle being shorter than the rear
one, thus distributing the load.
What would an American farmer
think of piling four tons Of loose hay ON
wagon and driving to market, 10
miles away, with only three horses to
haul the loadp Yet this is not an unus-
ual load for a French road, the broaG
tires rolling easily along over the smooth
surface with but very little strain on
the horses. 1t is such pictures as these
that give a new impetus to the good
roads boom which every one hopes has
already good st art in this country,
