the time worn and troubled look; and
yet, through these long and terrible
hours Grant never once lost his head,
but kept constantly in his minds eye
all the details and intricacies of the
stupendous plan which devolved on him
alone to carry out-the solution of that
mighty problem the key towhich lay in
his right hand, which held the Hateful
pencil!

was about, and ne knew, moreover, that
q cool head and well-balanced mind
were all-essental to the great work in

"The lesson Of that days study Of
Grant was, that he was one of the most
wonderful men this century has pro.
ducedl"
The now familiar story of how Grant
kept his nerves steady by constant cigar
smoking during those eventful days in
the Wilderness is fully corroborated by
his son, Col. Fred Grant. The colonel
says that about four or five o'clock in
the afternoon of the first day of the
Wilderness fight his fathers stock OF
cigars gave out, whereupon he became
uneasy, miserable, restless and nervous,
and so continued until he got back to
headquarters and supplied himself with
his favorite brand of Havanas.-Boston

SHORT ROAD SERMON.
Very Slight Increase I'm Expenditure
Would Make Great improvements
Possible Everywhere.

II is constantly being remarked in
conversation and printed in interviews
and editorials in the papers that bet
ter roads are very necessary, but that
they are too eXpcnsive-the commu-
nifty is too poor to do anything, and
there the matter ends.
This need not be so. There is hardly
town or county in this country in
which the money now annually eXpend-
ed is not sufficient to procure much BET
ter road surfaces than now exist, while
very slight increase in expenditure
would make great improvements pos
sible.
First, Road taxes must be paid in
money and not in labor. Good results
have never been obtained by working
out road taxes and it is not in the ma
ture of things that they should be.
Whatever is to be spent on the road
must be available for use in the EN-
ployment of experienced help under
intelligent supervision.
Second. Proper grading must be Sc
cured, hills reduced and filings made
until no steep hill exists that the farm
err must load for" every time he hauls
over the road.
Third. The bed must be thoroughly
drained, or good surface will be i'm
possible, and the surface must enable
the water to flow off readily. Nothing
ruins a road so quickly as water stand
ing on il or soaking into it.
Fourth. The roadbed must be
crowned enough to shed water, and
must be kept in condition by system
of regular repairs and continuous over.
sight.
Fifth. After good surface is Sc
cured by the above methods, it must
be preserved and maintained by per-
hitting only the use of wide tires on
heavily-laden vehicles, thereby con-
tinually rolling and improving it,

that what we need is advertiser. If
folks don't know what we've got here
they won't come. Atlantic City and
Cape May hev bin advertiser fur Vars
and Vars, while nobody so miles away
has ever heard of Squan Creek. We've
jest got to create an excitement"
Most Of the members fell in with the
idea, but they didn't think newspaper
advertiser would do any good. 1t
wanted sunthin' with more novelty in
it. The matter was sorter left to Moses
Parker to fgger out and report on at
the next meetin', and he was ekal to
the occashun. What he proposed was
to git 10000 zinc tags with the name
of Squan Creek stamped to 'em, and
attach 'em to the tails of 10000 fish.
1t was calkerlated that these fish would
be kotched all the way from Maine to
Florida, and ali along the coast of
England, Ireland, France and Spain,
and every time one of 'em was hauled
in the newspapers would menshun
Squan Creek and advise their readers
to buy real estate. 1t was resolved to
go ahead at once, and in a week we
got the tags from New York. Then
everybody went to catchin' fish and
wirin' on the tags. Didn't make no
difference whether they was dog-fsh
or sea-bass-anything with tail, even
10 crabs and Holsters, was all right. In
about two weeks the work was done,
and Moses Parker gifts up in the club
and rubs his hands and smiles and
says:
AT this present mint 10000 fish ar
bearin' the name OF Squan Creek 10
varus parts of the world, and Phila-
delphy paper will send a reporter up
here this week to write up three col
lmns about our scheme. Heretofore
I've bin akin $3.50 fur my house and lot,
but tomorrow the price goes up to
$780,"
Fur week the enthusiasm was un-
bounded. No strangers arrived and no
property was sold, but we all felt we
was on the right track. Then Moses
Parker got letter and an express
package from Atlantic City. In the
package was 0,OO7 of our fish tags, and
in the letter was the news that in two
hauls of net off the inlet they had
raked in that many of our tish, Holsters,
and crabs. The three who wasn't ac-
counted for had probably died on the
way or gone towards New York. That
was an awful blow on Squan Creek
Ii seemed 10 show that the very fish
was agin us and in favor of Atlantic
City. Everybody was crushed fur a
week, and Moses Parker had chills
every day, but it was finally decided
10 try sum other dodge. twas Aaron
Davis who suggested bottles with a
printed circular inside. Bottles couldn't
swim down 10 Atlantic City agin wind
and tide. A committee was appointed to
auy bottles, and another to git the
p7ntin' done, and Moses Parker got
over his chills and said:

Economy of Wide Tiren.

At hearing before Gov. Voorhees,, of
New Jersey, on the proposed wide-tire
bill, it was stated that heretofore the
township meetings have generally APP
propriated small sums for the care of
the roads, but that now the wheelmen
attend "these meetings in body, and
if the roads are not in as good repair
as they think they should be, they
move for an increase in the appropri-
ton and generally carry their point. "
It was also argued that it would be
cheaper to rebate ten dollars of taxes
to any farmer using wide tires than
to double the road appropriations, and
wide tires would generally improve the
roads.

but arter a time Moses Parker got 'em
to try once more.
"We've tried advertiser under water,
and on top of water" says he, "and
now We'll try the air. If the wind goes
back on us then we'll go outer the biz
ness"
His idea was to send up 5000 little
toy balloons with the name of Squan
Creek printed on 'em, and they was to
go up some day when the wind would
take 'em clear to Chicago. Sum had
faith and sum hadn't, but the number
of balloons was cut down to 1000, and
bimeby they was ready to go up. One
day when the wind was just right and
BLOWN at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
them 1000 advertisements went sailin'
fur the west. They went out O. sight
like buckshot, but skassly had the last
one disappeared when old Saul Beck
with cried out:
II knowed the Lord was again Squan
Creek, and here's new proof Of it.
The wind is shiftin' clean into the
north!"
That's jest what took place, and no
body ever knowed the like of it before.
Afore them balloons had gone five
miles to the west they shifted fur the
south, and two days later we heard that
the hull 1000 lit down in a mans door
yard at Brigantine. He was man who
was jealous of Squan Creek, and he
went about and jumped on every bal
loon and busted it. When we got the
news, Moses Parker stood and shed
tears and said:
THAT settles it, I'm sorry the Lord
is agin our town, but bein' it's so, and
bein' we can't beat a royal flush, 1 guess
we'd better lay down our hands and go
outer the camel" NJ. QUAD.

FACTS ABOUT ONIONS.
Which Produce Rheumatism
and Muddy COmplexiOns.

There is no more wholesome vegeta-
BILE grown than the odorous and much
despised onion. No one who eats free.
ly of onions will ever be troubled With
sleeplessness nor serious blood trou-
bles. They clear the blood of those
poisons which produce rheumatism and
muddy compilations and those nations
that eat of onions with the greatest
freedom are the ones most free from ills
of this kind.
Onions when grown from seed should
be planted within few days in order
to have time to mature a full crop, but
where sets are used they may be put
out at any time while the sets are in
the market.
The rows should be Is inches apart
and the onions three inches in the
rows. The land cannot be made too rich
nor too fine before planting. Put in
fine manure anu ashes, if you have
them, work the soil over and over until
it is as fine as dust, and SOW the seed
or put in the sets.
The cultivation should never be deep,
the soil should not be disturbed below
one inch from the surface at any time
during the season. The onion throws
out its roots near the surface and as
they are not very long the soil should
be rich and the cultivation shallow.
Never ridge the soil up to the rows.
The ideal onion bed is one where the
bulbs grow above the ground for more
than half their size.
1t is common remark that onions
agree with but few people. Anyone
who eats them regularly will soon find
any trouble of this kind gone as well
as other and more serious ones very
often.
Those who do not eat them because
of the odor they leave on the breath are
more nice than wise.-Farmers' Voice.
