Souls Untamec by Music.

There was a long line waiting In the
lobby Of the Metropolitan opera house
the other day to buy tickets for a special
performance Of opera, when q deter.
mined : looking young woman who
seemed TO be in a great hurry came in.
She gave one glance at the line and con.
eluded Immediately that she didn't have
time to wait for her regular turn. So
she walked up the line until she came
to a rather miid-niannere3 wora,. who
didn't look as If she would object 10 n
sort of affront. There she stopped,
looked around and then deliberately
forced her way into the line in front OF
the mild young woman.
The mild young woman was consider.
ably surprised. She hesitated an IN
slant, as ii uncertain whether to call an
attendant and have the interloper put
out or not. Then she leaned forward
and said. very distinctly:
You beast! You beastl'
The interloper was perfectly cool
about 1t and apparently mconcerned.
She turned partly around and. looking
over her shoulder, replied:

HOW AN Ak Is MADE.

Workmen.

On entering the main workshop, the
trst step in the operation which il seen
Is the formation of the ax-head without
the blade. The glowing flat iron bars
are Withdrawn from the furnace and are
taken to a powerful and somewhat COM
piicated machine, which performs cpon
them four distinct operations. shaping
the metal to form the upper and lower
parts OF the ak, then the eye. and final
~ doubling the piece over so that tbs
whole can be welded together. Next
the IRON Is put ia a powerful natural gas
furnace and heated to a white heat.
Taken out il goes under a tilt hammer
and IS welded in a second. This done,
one blow from the drop and the poll
OF the AK Is completed and firmly welded.
crews Of men are doing this class
OF work, and each crew can make 1000
axes per day.
When the AK leaves the drop there Is
some s%uperluous metal still adherinr
TO the edges and forming what is
technically known as a tin" To get
rid OF the TN the AK is again heated in a
furnace and then taken in hand by "A
sawyer, who trims the ends and edges.
The operator has a glass in front of him
70 protect his eyes from the sparks
which by off by hundreds as the bot
metal Is pressed against the rapidly re.
yolying saw. The iron part OF the ak
Is now complete. The steel for the
blade, after being heated, is cut by
machinery and shaped. II is then
ready for the welding department. A
groove Is cut into the edge Of the iron,
we steel OF the blade inserted, and the
whole firmly welded by machine ham
mers. Next comes the operation OF
tempcring. The steel portion OF the AK
Is heated by being inserted in pots Of
molten lead, the blade only being i'm.
mersed. 1t is then cooled by dipping
in water and goes to the hands Of the
inspector. An ak is subject to rigid
tests before it is pronounced perfect.
The steel must be Of the required
temper. the weight of all axes OF the
size must be uniform, all must be
ground alike, and in various other ways
conform 10 an established standard.
The inspector who tests the quality Of
steel does so by hammering the blade
and striking the edge TO ascertain
whether it be too brittle or not. An AK
breaks during the test is thrown
to be made over.
Before the material of the ak il in the
proper shape it has been heated five
times, including the tempering process.

workmen, each of whom has dene

Grants Aversion To- Liars.

In the July Century General Horace
Porter, i'm his Campaigning with
Grant" dwells upon Grants aversion
10 liars. He quotes the following re-
marks from General Rawlins:
"The general always likes 10 tell an
anecdote that points Il moral on the
subject of lying. He hates only two
kinds of people. liars and towards. He
has no patience with them, and never
fails 20 show his aversion for them"
ingalls, added: "Such traits are so for
eign TO his own nature that IL is not
surprising hat he should not tolerate
them in others. As man and boy he
has always been the o absolutely
truthful person in the whole range OF
my acquaintance. | never knew hin
TO run into the slightest eXaggeration
or to borrow in the least degree from
his exaggeration in relating an occur
renee" One of the party remarked;
II wa amused one day TO hear an Off
Ger say that the general was tediously
truthful He explained that what he
meant by hat was that the general. IN
mentioning something that had taken
place, would direct his mind so earn
estly to stating unimportant details
with entire accuracy that he would
mar the interest of the story. For in
| stance, after returning from "A walk
around camp he would say: 1 was

There was much truth In this COM
ment. No one who had served any
time with the general could fail to be
struck with his excellent memory, and
the pains he invariably took to state
occurrences with positive accuracy,

ulars,

Tells for Good Roaos.

To the Editor OF he Sioux City Tribune .
Good roads are essential 10 the develop
ment or any country"
Ihat is the way a leading Wisconsin pa
per began a half column article devoted to
practical talk and figures on good roads.
In the course OF the article Il announced
that the county board had appropriated
IN cash, for the building OF new roads and
Improvement of old ones, $1,000. together
with 5000 for the construction Of bridges,
making the sum Of $1,000. The paper
urged a thoroughly practical use Of tho
money, putting particular stress upon the
demand for an entire absence OF the old
fashioned way of working roads. 1t is
proposed TO make the best possible show
ing Tor the money expended in that county
and then invite members OF the county
boards from all OF the counties which join
IL 10 inspect the work with a view TO in
ducing them to ~lnaugurate the same kind
OF work in their respective counties. 1t f.
believed that working OUT the road tax
after the old fashion, IS at an end for
ever, iii that county, ard that rs example
will be initiated by many counties, both
because roads can be made and improved
by practical methods at much less cost
than by any OF the previous methods in
troduced. Thus IL will be seen that the
agitation which has been going on so Wig
orously by the wheelmen and others 10
bearing substantial fruit. II could not be
other wise. Talk on the subject Of good
roads-that Is. practical talk-will never
fail to attract the attention OF people in
terested in such roads. and that means
nearly the entire public.
Here is another Observation-Disclosures
fact that demonstrates the truth of what
have just said:
The town OF Raymond, Racine county.
Wisconsin. Is one Of the finest farming sec
lions Of the state. but in the spring and
fail. during wet weather. the roads have
been about as bad as IL is possible for
roads to become. There have been GER
tain times, some years. when a farmer did
not pretend to take his team out and start
on a journey for any purpose. unless IN
case OF great emergency. The good roads
agitation has taken deep root in that town.
The armer are going TO work methodie-
ally. scientifically. 10 furnish themselves
with a system OF good roads. and are al
ready actively engaged in urging their
neighboring towns to initiate their exam
pie. The town has invested in materials
and machinery for the work In hand,
Among Its purchases Is an expensive stone
crusher. There Is no division OF senti-
ment. ali Of the farmers and others are
interested in the new enterprise. and de-
termined to carry 1t out.
The chang of sentiment in the town OF
Raymond Is a direct result OF agitation
and sentiment building. The press OF the
country has used some OF its space nearly
every week. for a long time, in agltating
for better roads. What has been done in
Marthon, the county alluded 10 at the OPP
ening OF this letter. and in Raymond. can
and win be lone in most OF the counties.
Let US keep on agitating.
