IoIINNY CROGAN,s WlATCH.

JOHNNY CROGAN'S WATCH.
Once upon a time Johnny J. Crogan
received a certain number Of boxes Of
cigars and what purported to be gold
watch for $40. Having a gold watch
OF his own, which he had won at a
fair, he put the other one in his pocket
to speculate On. DR.. John Fahey saw
that he was loaded down with chro-
nometers and offered to buy one OF
them. Crogan refused TO sell the one
which he had won at the fair. He
said that the other cost s65 and was for
sale. The doctor pulled out three ten
dollar bills and said he would pay that
amount for the watch Crogan refused
at first to take less than 1886 dollans,
but finally accepted the doctors offer.
1t wasn't long, the Wayfarer is inform

he had been buncoed. lie made up his
mind 10 unload. His brother, Patrick
Fahey, offered a buggy, represented to
be worth $l6O for the timepiece. 1t
was accepted and the watch passed into
his hands. DR.. Fahey found that the
buggy was a ramshackle affair, and
that he had been victimized for a sec
ond time. PaArick Fahey, about the
same time, discovered that his watch
was not much OF a bargain. He had an
apprentice who had no watch and to
him he sold it for S., payable in Ave
weekly instalments OF 81 each. The
apprentice was skeptical, but his en-
ployer warranted it to keep good
time. One morning he mgt this ap-
prentice about $50 o'clock.
"where are you going?" he in
Quired.

you know what time it io?"

Next day he met this same appren-
tice at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
(which way are you bound?" he
asked.

tice.
"It's not time to quit yet" said Mr..
Fahey.
"Oh, yes it is" said the apprentice

Il guess I'd better take that watch

Why is it that young woman will
put on her evening gown and best
shoes and then walk out front, broom
in hand and sweep the litter and G.-.
of the pavement? The Wayfarer hG.
frequently noticed this peculiar habit
OF young wOmanhood and has always
been at a loss to account for IT, II a
man has such a dirty piece Of work tc
do he docs it first and takes his bath
and dresses afterwards. But witt
women it is just the reverse. It may
be that sweeping the front pavement
affords a splendid opportunity fol
showing the fine points OF particular

and dirt raised by the broom do not
contribute to the cleanliness OF either

BROAD TIRED WAGONS.
Exhaustive Tests Show Them to he
Infinitely Superior to the
Narrow Variety.

The use of the bicycle is affording an
Illustration of the operation of the
broad-tiTed vehicles in keeping road
ways in good condition. This illustra-
ton is conspicuous after showers.
when it will be noted that the tires of
the bicycles beat down and harden
the bicycle path much more rapidly
than the ~narrow-tired wagons restore
the roadway proper to a smooth con-
dition. 1t is true that the action of
the pneumatic tire is more beneficial
to a soft roadway than that of the
hard broad tire, but its tamping eff
feet is an Illustration of what the
wide tire does in comparison with the
cutting effect of the conventional mar
row tire.
Were it possible TO substitute broad
tires for the narrow tires now gen
orally used, the condition of the aver
age country road would be improved
in a comparatively short time. Not
only that, but the efficiency of the
the average draught horse would be
materially raised. Instead of cutting
into the soft spots in a roadway, the
wide tire congresses the soft earth
and passes over it, leaving the spot in
an improved condition for the pass
age Of the next wheel.
An exhaustive test of the broad ano
narrow tire, made at the agricultural.
experiment station of the Missouri.
state university, demonstrated that or
boil er,0ntI ND -aDrly- Laval nnnnol-
am roadways the strain required to
haul a given load was 35.7 per cent less
with the broad tire than with the mar
row tire. On a gravel road with 4 hard
surface, there was a margin of 1873 per
cent. in favor of the broad tire. On
a road composed of a large quantity
of sand mixed with gravel, the margin
was 45.5 per cent. in favor of the
broad tire. Over a new, unused dry
gravel road, the difference in favor of
the broad tire was 200 per cent. The
narrow tire required less strain for
haulage on a load where water cov
cred the surface ard loose sand from
one to two and a half inches deep was
found. But while the broad tire re-
quried Il greater strain for haulage. it
did no injury to the road, whereas the
narrow tire cut through the soft earth
beneath the water, and destroyed the
Surfacing. The broad tire was also at
a disadvantage on roads where the
hardpan was covered with dust, as the
narrow tire cut through to the hard
pan, while the wide tire pinched and
heaped up the dust. and thus increased
the strain of haulage. The broad tire
also required a greater strain cn some
kinds of mud roads. But as Il whole,
the tests were strongly favorable TO
the use of broad tires for the average
roads.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.

A WHITE O U BELLE.
Queen VictOria's Attentions to tho
Niece of President
on a Recent Visit.

4 few DAYS since the cable brought
word that Queen Victoria had given a
special reception to Mrs. Harriet Lane
Johnston at Windsor castle. 1t is IN
Eounced that the prince and princess
of Wales are shortly to pay a similar
honor to this distinguished American
m who. while her uncle, James
Buchanan. was president of the United
States, filled the Onerous position of
Lady of the White House" most gra-
ciously.
Miss Harriet Lanes first appearance
in public life wa as the companion of
her uncle in London. where, from the
spring of 1854 to the fall of 1855, she
shared with him the social duties of
the American minister at the court of
St. James. 1t was a trying post at
that time. The Crimean war was on.
and there was considerable irritation
and friction between the British and
American governments growing out of
certain questions of neutral duties
raised by that conflict. Napoleon III.
was then at the zenith of his power.

Ing not only passengers, but also mali
and express matter. Inside city lin
its in many places special trolley cars
are made for local postal ana express
service, and in the vicinity of very
large cities one will sometimes find
that a certain style of low platform
car are provided by the steam roads
for carrying into town the heavy
trucks of the market gardeners laden
with fresh vegetables.
And 10Y still another plan has beer
proposed. \ Toledo man, named Bon
ner, has devised a special truck which
is designed to run on a street railway
and to carry a farm or express wag-
on. Inasmuch as the ordinary vehicle
would not fit the truck, Mr.. Bonner
thinks it better to have his own wagon
as well as his railway truck. He has
taken out a patent on the idea, and
has obtained a franchise from the city
of Toledo for running his wagons
through the streets. AS soon as he
has manufactured and sold a number
of his special wagons to the express
companies in town and has also had a
few of his trucks made he will be in a
position to take the wagons on the
trucks through such streets as have
trolley lines. The trucks are intend
ed to be coupled to a trolley car, and
are not provided with electric motors
of their own.
After the city service is fairly start
ed Mr.. Bonner will e1deavor to secure
rural patronage. OF course, it will be
necessary for such farmers as wish to
take advantage of his plan to have the
right sort of wagons and to haul them
by horsepower near enough TO town to
reach the trolley tracks. But in Ohio
there are numerous trolley roads eX-
tending from one town to another and
attaining a length of ten, IS and even
25 miles. If a farmer only lives along
one of these routes he will not need
to haul his wagons more than a few
rods. Indeed, if he has a switch and
sidetrack and loads his wagons while
they stand on the latter he will have
an easy task before him. The rapid de-
velOpment of trolley lines through the
rural districts nowadays makes Mr..
Bonner's idea an interesting one.
There is no telling how far it is likely
to become serviceable to American
farmers.-N. y. Tribune.
