Ike. "If l never git to be a gineral

"Then if yo' doan' pay him out l

rose up with look of determination on
her face.
That's what Ike was waiting to hear.
He was now ready to develop the little
plan sketched out in Captain Wyle' g
tent before leaving camp.

"How kin I flatten him out?" she
asked, ready to begin work at once.
Ike slowly lighted his pipe and sat
down on the doorstep and made room
for her beside him. He kept her wait
ing for another minute and then unfold
ed his plan. She listened patiently until
he was through and then pointed out
the obstacles here and there. He re-
viewed the case and explained how ev-
erything was to be overcome. Although
an ignorant woman, she had a good
deal of natural shrewdness in her COM
position, and after the plan had been
gone over in detail for the third or
fourth time she said:
''I'lI try it anyhow. I hev allus dun

plaster during the 1889 exhibition in
the Palace de la Republique in Paris,

that he has proven conclusively thar
the lines are produced by water vapo :

therefore, the spectroscope does not in

Cost of Bad Roads.

According to statistics collected by
the office of road inquiry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the amount of loss
each year by bad roads Of the country
is almost beyond belief.
Some 10000 letters of inquiry were
sent to intelligent and reliable farmers
throughout the country, and returns
were obtained from about 1.200 coun-
ties, giving the average length of haul
in miles from farms to markets and
shipping points, the average weight Of
load hauled and the average length per
ton for the whole length of the haul.
Summarized, it appears that the gem
eral average length of haul is twelve
1000 pounds, and the average cost per
ton per mile 25 cents, or So for the en-
tire load.
Allowing conservative estimates for
tonnage of all kinds carried over public
roads, the aggregate expense OF this
transportation is figured at $946, ,414.6OO
per annum. Those in a position to
judge, calculate that twO-thirds, or
nearly 1851, 100000, could be saved if
the roads were in reasonably good con-
dition. At $4,000 per mile very good
road can be constructed, and if an
amount equaling the savings Of one
year were applied to improving high
ways, 1000 miles Of road in this
country could be put in condition.
The effect of this would be a perma-
nent improvement. and an exchange
says not only would the farmer be as
tonished in the sudden reduction in his
road tax, but he would also wonder at
the remarkable falling off in the cost of
transportation. He would also find that
he required fewer horses and less feed
for them. He could make two trips to
market day instead of one, when abil-
ity to get bis goods there at time
when high prices are ruling is matte:
of great consequence.
Farmers are beginning to apply lit
tie simple arithmetic to some of these
matters, and it is not too much to ex-
pect that in the near future we shall
see decided revolution in the cond:-
ton of our rural highways.
