Refused Without PROMISING

Few women outside of royalties evel
popped the question" to man, an(
perhaps only one has had the expert
ence of being rejected by man with
out having proposed to him. There was
one, and the Hon. L. A. Tollemache
tells the story in his personal Memoir
of Benjamin Jowett,' master of Bal
liol, Oxford.
The masters personality was potent
and penetrating, and good women felt
its fascination. An undergraduate was
ill at Balliol college, and his sister,
coming to Oxford to nurse him, was in
vited by DR.. Jowett to stay at his house.
She received from him the utmost kind
ness and attention, and when leaving
said, with much hesitation, that she
would venture to ask very great fa-
vor. She again hesitated. The master
grew uneasy and looked interrogative.
will you marry me?" at last she
asked.
He paced up and down, blushed deep
ly, and replied, "That would not be
good either for you or for me-
"Oh, oh!' exclaimed the young lady,
blushing even more deeply. 81 meant
to say ] am going to be married and
would you perform the service?" She
had been refused, poor girl, without
having proposed.

BAD ROADS TO BLAME.
why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Unprofitable.

DunihSso
A highly important feature of the
highways question is the effect good or
bad roads have upon the local markets
and their sources of supply, says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities aud
large towns of the state there is de-
mand for farm products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as hay
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun-
try is quite capable of supplying that
demand; in all cases it should do so as
far as possible; i'll most cases it does not
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail
or canal from far away, perhaps from
other states; while at the same time,
within few miles of the market thus
supplied, are farms that have been
abandoned as not worth working and
others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and despair at the apparent i'm
possibility of getting profitable prices
for their crops. The big farms of the
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and so farming here no longer pays.
AtoW5 oiS phiiiO VI 0iO UlOuplO
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market. The farmer 1000 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canal more easily and more cheaply than
the farmer only ten miles away can haul
his in over roads that are so hilly and
rough and miry that half a ton is
heavy load for horse to draw at slow
footpace.
1t is not that farms in the east are no
longer productive, nor that the eastern
market no longer offers fair prices 1t
is that the roads between the farms and
the markets are so bad as to make ship
ment unp1 p1ofitable. Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent to the
cities and towns would do more than
anything else to restore prosperity to
the farmers, enabling them to get their
goods to the best possible market easily,
promptly and cheaply. Good roads
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and good times for all con-
Cerned.

MONTANA HIGHWAYS.
Recent Laws Provide For Their System
attic Improvement.

Recent Laws Provide For Their System
attic Improvement.
The highways of Montana, by bill
passed by the state legislature, are
placed in the charge of the county sur
veyor, and the old office of road super
visor, usually held by an inexperienced
man, is abolished. The act defines the
powers and duties of county surveyors
and provides for their compensation.
By this act each of these officers is re-
quired to keep the highways in his
county clear Of obstruction and in good
repair and maintain bridges, to make
all plans and specifications for new
roads and bridges, to report to the coun-
ty commissioners on all work completed,
and if the work is done according to
the plans, specifications and contract
he is to draw his vouchers for the same
before payment is made.
The county surveyor is chairman of
all boards of viewers of roads, keeps
the records of road surveys and is the
general superintendent OF all roads. He
may employ labor, teams, etc, and has
power to contract for all work not ex-
ceeding 5000 in cost. For larger amounts
the approval of a majority of the board
of county commissioners is required.
The salary received varies with the
class of county, from $3.50 to 50, 900
per year. Viewers and all assistants of
the county surveyor may not receive
more than S. per day.

Saved by a Sausage.

1t is possible to overestimate the cour-
age of robber, as may be seen by this
story by Judge Seymour D. Thompson,
given in the st. Louis Republics:
McNab was the hero of hairbreadth
escape. 1t was in Canada, where Nc
Nab, a brawny Scotchman, was fellow
colporteur of my father, the Rev. Sey-
mour Thompson.
The two became separated on the
night of McNab's adventure. The
Scotchman was riding through forest
unarmed. He had package of Bibles
on one side of his saddle and ON the
other string of frozen sausages, which
were to be thawed and cooked for his
breakfast. A highwayman stopped Nc
Nab's reflections and his progress at the
same time.
The Scotchman was frightened. He
never denied that. He had little
money i'll his boot, and he leaned over
to remove the boot and satisfy the de-
mand of the robber. His hand struck
against the frozen sausages. He be-
thought himsef of these. Perhaps they
would be accepted instead of money.
He broke one of them in two and was
about to offer half of it to the highway
man, when suddenly he found himself
alone and heard the clatter of horses
rapidly retreating hoofs. Badly fright
ened as he was McNab laughed. The
robber had mistaken the cracking of the
sausage for the cooking of pistol and
had fled

HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
Various Theories as to the Location
Paradise and Hades.

various Theories as to the Location of
Paradise and Hades.
He'll and heaven beliefs had their
origin about the year $50 B. c., and
since that time there have been thou
sands of attempts to locate these places,
the one of future punishment and the
other of everlasting happiness. The old
medieval idea of hell is the one which
gives us to understand that the devil
and his imps have their furnaces and
their caldrons and other articles of in
fernal utility constantly working some-
where within the bowels of the earth.
On the other hand, we are told and be-
lieve that heaven is an abode of light,
beauty and joy located far above the
earth. One writer believes that heaven
will be on planet which will be pre-
pared for the saints in the last day, and
another believes that this earth, burned
over and purified by fire, will be the final
resting place of those who escape the
horrors of perpetual punishment in the
hell that has been prepared "for those
who love sin. " DR.. Winston, the friend
of Sir Isaac Newton and the first of the
great race of Speculative astronomers, -
believes that hell is located ON comet.
But the most curious theory we have
ever investigated was that advanced by
DR.. Mortimer, author of "The Spirit of
God as Fire" One of the several SUBJ
stitutes of this remarkable book was one
which gave the reader to understand
that the author believed that heaven is
located on the inner globe of the sun.
This substitute was "The Globe Within
the Sun Our Heaven According to
Mortimer's theory, our sun is surround
ed by an envelope or photosphere Of
flame 100, 900 miles itself. Taken all
together, this idea Of the photosphere is
vast nonluminous void. Farther on is
the great globe of the sun itself.
Taken all together, this idea of the
sun may be aptly compared to peach
or plum. The envelope of flame occu-
pies the place of the skin, the "vast
nonluminous void" the place of the
meat of the fruit and the central globe
(true SUM the place of the seed. On this
sun globe, inside the great fiery envel-
ope, DR.. Mortimer believed heaven to
be situated. The photosphere or envel-
ope of fire he took to be hell or the place
of future punishment for the wicked.
The 'nonluminous void," according to
Mortimer, is the "great gulf between"
which is mentioned quite frequently in
the Scriptures st. Louis Republic.

THE CRANE DANCE.
Where the SOubrettes Got Their Idea For
Speciality.

Where the Soubrettes Got Their Idea For
a Speciality.
There is dance called the crane
dance, which is popular at the vaude-
vile houses. At Lincoln park there is
and those who have seen its saltatorial
feats say the bird does it much better
than do the featherless, two legged ami
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail to gain by being an exact copy Of
the performance of the long necked,
spindle legged sand hill crane. Its steps
are not only grotesque, but they are of
kind to make the gravest onlooker lose
his dignity and laugh like a delighted
boy at the circus. This Lincoln park
bird at the outset of his dance is the
personification of dignity. When in the
days of his freedom he tripped it on his
native sand hills for the sole benefit of
his mate, be did so only in the spring
time, but now, in his lowly captive
state, he dances in and out of season if
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step or
tWO W give ulIH encouragement.
The crane begins its dance by showing
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight out in front of his body. Then
he lowers it and draws it back slowly
until it is within an inch or two of the
ground. Then there is a lightninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg is
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat the air in perfect
time to the movement of the feet, be
they going fast or slow. There is the
semblance of clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the nautch
girl, and in moment the whirl of the
dancing dervish, to be succeeded as
finale by sort of wild call hands
round" i'll which every feather of the
bird is alive, as it enters into the joy of
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act of stopping is like the "halt" of the
German soldier-sudden, stiff and in
stant. Then the crane marches away to
corner with still stately tread, but
with an eye which appears to reveal en-
barrassment. nt.-Chicago Times Herald.

ONE OF NELSON'S CAPTAINS.
New Yorker Commanded a British Ship
In the Battle of the Nile.

In the Battle of the Nile.
The fifth ship was the Theseus, Cap
tain Ralph Willett Miller. This gentle
man, whom after his Prev ture death
Nelson styled "the only truly virtuous
man ever knew" was by birth New
Yorker, whose family had been loyalists
during the American Revolution. A let
ter from him to his wife gives an ac-
count of the fight which is at once
among the most vivid and from the
professional standpoint the most salts
factory of those which have been trans
mitted to us. OF the Theseus' entrance
into the battle he says:
''In running along the enemy's line
in the wake of the Jealous and Goliath,
observed their shot sweep just over us.
And knowing well that at such a mo-
ment Frenchmen would not have cool
ness enough to change their elevation,
/ closed them suddenly, and, running
under the arch of their shot, reserved
my fire, every gun being loaded with
two and some with three round shot,
until 1 had the Guerrier's masts in a
line and her jibboom about six feet clear
OF our rigging. We then opened with
such effect that second breath could
not be drawn before her main and miz-
zen masts were also gone. This was pre-
cisely at sunset, or A minutes past 6.
Then passing between her and the Zeal
GUS and as close as possible round the
off side of the Goliath, we anchored by
the stern exactly in line with her and
abreast the Spartiate. We had not been
many minutes in action with the Spar
tiate when we observed one of our ships
(and soon after knew her to be the Van
guard, place herself so directly opposite
to US on the outside of her that l desist-
ed firing on her, that I might not do
mischief to our friends, and directed ev-
cry gun before the mainmast on the
Aquilon Fourth French) and all abaft
it Oh the Conquerant, giving up my
proper bird to the admiral. "-"Nelson

Women as Workers.

Carroll D. Wright, in his report on
the labor market, says:
The main reason given for the em-
ployment of women aud girls is usually
that they are better adapted for the
work at which they are employed.
Other reasons are that they are more
reliable, more easily controlled, cheaper,
more temperate, more easily procurable,
neater, more rapid, more industrious,
less liable to strike, learn more rapidly,

ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED.
Henry Wattcrsons Idea Is That They BE
Local, Not National.

Henry Watterson takes issue with a
good roads advocate who insists that
the general government should have
charge of road making-that there
should be national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed, says
the Chicago Times Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language of
Colonel Watlerson, are those that lead
from the farm to the railroad, the mill,
the factory, the school, the church, the
ferry and the market
This apt remark of Colonel Watterson
is condensation, simplitication, an
absolutely plain presentation of what is
most wanted in the matter of good
roads. Garry out that idea, and what
will be wanting? 1t will meet the re-
quirements of the farmer; it will save
the farming element hundreds of mil
lions of dollars every year; it will meet
the expectations of the pleasure seeker;
it will add to the value of every foot of
land in the country; it will be of value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be source of pleasure
and profit to all classes, in all commu-
mites
