In eXcavating for the roadbed care
should be exercised not to plow toe
deep or to one side of the outer lines of
the proposed roadway; if there are de-
pressions in the subgrade, there will be
a tendency to make chuck holes in the
road after a little time, owing to the
water settling in the places where the
dirt has been cut too deep. If the bed
is cut too wide and filed back, the road
after a little viii spread and become

should be placed under the subgrade OF
the roadway at any point where the
earth seems TO be springy, and the
water led to one side of the road, even
if fill has to be made to get the de-
sired drainage.
"The whole roadbed should be rolled

Fast Tf.ne 40 Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
Iished over the Wabash-Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1893. The time will be the
fastest made. with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave St. Louis on Wabash train
No. 8, at go a. M, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at ll.30
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between ST. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at St. Louis the next evening at 6.l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only UNI
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.

that at the very moment he died was
Oh, go away from me! 1 never want to
see you again!-never, never! To think
that should have turned against him
for you! And he the dearest and bess
of fathers-always so good to me, so
good! 1t makes me hate you!"
He looked at her with plying ten
derness as at one distraught. You
do not know what you are saying, DEAR
he murmured, soothingly. And you
must not give up. l would not tell you
so if it were not true. Your father is
probably alive and unframed. And in
a little while he may be with you to
laugh at all your fright. Don't give up
yet, sweetheart"
How dare you call me that-you?'
she bitterly retorted, her eyes flashing
blue fire upon him. her face like stone.
do you not see that it is a judgment
upon me for caring for you, for being
untrue to him? Caring for you, did

such thing! To care for you, You who
brought him here, who were the cause
of all this trouble!-you who, if he is
dead, have been the cause of his death!

As she went on in this growing frenzy
she had been blindly hurrying down
the hill, Neil keeping beside her with
watchf1l eye upon her needless steps,
but now he stopped, his peremptory look
bidding her also pause. His face was
white and set, his eyes were full of
sadness beyond words, but still his tone
was very gentle as he said: You must
not come any farther, Dorothy. 1t is
not fit for YOU" They were now so
near the fire that burning bits of wood
Uttered the grass all about them, while
the smoke and heat from the well-nigh
burnt-out shafthouse made the air
stiflingIy oppressive. Crowds of men
were hurrying up the hill, many turning
curiously to stare at the colonel's daugh-
ter. You must not come farther" Neil
said again, gently authoritative. You
can do no good here. wish you would
let me take you down to my cabin.
ITO YOUR cabin! no." she implacably
returned, glaucing away from him as
though her eyes loathed the sight of his
face. But l will wait here-if you will

He hesitated, reluctantly regarding
her for an instant, but then, with face
as sad as her own, he walked away, to
send to her woman he had discovered
among the crowd. 1t was a Mrs. Morri-

Several evenings ago she was having
cheerful little Cupidious colloquy in
the conservatory with 4 naval 6euten-

than salary.
After talking for half hour or so he
became slightly tropical in his tone and
she hedged a bit.
"Love comes like summer sigh" he
sighed and added: I'D like to know the
difference between summer signs and
winter signs"
That's easy enough" she said, with
a sense of relief, for she was rich
enough to be afraid to be left too long
at the mercy of a Washington beau.
He looked at her as if he didn't know
what she was talking about, and she
didn't know, either.
"Oh, that's all right" she laughed.

larger than the winter signs because

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
Country Roads Before They Re-
ceiye Their Surface M9teriaI.

In a recent article on Things to be
Remembered in Building Good Roads, -
W. E. Barnes pertinently says that too
many people seem to think that any
thing that is to be covered up does not
need attention-that it is done simply
because some engineer has said that it
should be so. The authorities seem TO
doubt whether it pays to put so much
money out of sight. What they want
is to spread out the money so it will ali
be in sight of their constituents, so that
when the day of reelection comes they
can point 10 a great deal apparently
done with little money" This is doubt
less one reason why it is so difficult tc
get roads properly drained.
He then goes on to consider what
preparations are necessary for per-
manent country roads before they re
ceive the stone, or other material, and
offers the following suggestions:
The first thing to do is to employ
some competent man to run levels over
the entire length of the road intended
for improvement, and taking levels at
the sides frequently enough to fine
drainage at every available place along
the line OF the proposed road. linen
carefuily-drawn profile should be made
efter which the grade line of the road
should be carefully studied and drawn
on the profile. If the ground will admit
of it without too much expense, long
stretches of the same rate of grade
should be avoided, as it is too hard Oh
the muscles of the draft animals when
hauling a heavy load, as it admits of
constant and severe strain on them, as
can be easily seen by the trembling OF
the muscles after a pull over these
grades. \ frequent change in the
grades allows some rest on the various
parts of the muscles.
complete specifications should be
written, telling in a general, as well as
2, special, way what is to be done and
how to do it. These specifications

doubted the permanency of the cures which
he established. For many years DR..
Hayes has been issuing annually his ''Thesis
with Reports of Cases." each recurring sea-
son strengthening his position; and it is a
remarkable fact that many of the first cases
reported are still represented in his book.
for they have stayed cured-some for nine
teen years, some for sixteen or more years,
others for twelve, ten, eight and six years.
The names and addresses of the patients are
given in full, so that anyone who now doubts
may consult the former sufferers freely, DR..
Hayes practice now extends not only to
Great Britain and the continent of Europe,
but to India, Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa as well. Each patient is
treated individually by separate prescrip-
tions varied from time to time as frequent
correspondence shows is needed and in this
way success is attained in even the most
difficult and obstinate cases. Any sufferer
or person interested can obtain the latest
edition of DR.. Hayes book on application

Planting Beans with Corn.

1t used to be the practice more than
it is now to plant one or two beans in
each hill Of corn that is eaten out by the
cut worm. 1t makes much extra work
to harvest these beans. But the plan is
perhaps better than to plant in late
some more corn that will not be ripened
with the other, and can be used only
for feeding as soft corn. The corn
shades adjoining corn too much. Beans
of the bush variety will not shade it at
all. The extra sunlight which gets
down to the soil where hill of corn
has been destroyed makes the corn hills
on either side more prolific than they
would have been.-American Cultivator
