WIDOWS IN WASHINGTON.
1t Is Gathering Ground Upon Which

1t Is a Gathering Ground Upon Which
Rich Reflects Meet and Scheme.
Especially is it a great place for rich
widows with daughters-that peculiar
type of American women who, as soon
as paterfamilias is comfortably tucked
away under the sod, fly to Europe, spend
years wandering about like social
Bedouins, then are seized with romantic
form of homesickness. But they can't
stand Porlopolis and Kalamazoo and
West Jersey after Paris ard London and
Vienna, and Washington affords a con-
venient stOp-gap. 1t is American in To-
cation, European in habits, and, to de-
gree, in personnel. So they come here,
buy fine house, get in with the diplo
matte corps, and the thing is done, says
the Illustrated American. And Wash
ington, which processes a lofty scorn for
trade, and ruthlessly shuts the doors C
society in the face of all Washington
brokers, insurance agents, real estate
people, and, in short, trade in every form,
except banking, welcomes with open
arms the retired trades people from
New York, Chicago and anywhere else
on the face of the globe. tt reserves the
right Of laughing at the1u, though, and
after faithfully attending all their
luncheons, goes home to roar over every
SIP the ambitious host or hostess has
made. This habit is undoubtedly al
affront to hospitality, but it has one
saving virtue-Washington makes use
of rich people, but it is not afraid of

NO LONGER a LADY.
She Had Nursed Her Maid Through
Fever, and So Lost Caste.

An amusing instance of class formal
ity was related to me the other evening
by an intimate friend of the victim,
says Chicago papers correspondent.
The lady's maid of Mrs. Benevolent was
stricken down with typhus fever, and
her removal to the hospital was urged
by the family.
But Mrs. Benevolent, having a great
liking for the maid, would not listen to
the plan, and declared she would nurse
the girl herself. This she did through Il
long illness, and when the invalid be-
came convalescent Mrs. Benevolent, at
her own charge, sent the maid down to
Brighton, that she might benefit by Il
cheerful stay by the sea.
After a sufficient time had elapsed
for her complete restoration to health
the maid was asked by post if she did
not feel able to resume her duties. Her
answer was an expression of gratitude
Tor the kindness and care she had re-
ceived, concluding with the sorrowful
regret that I shall not be able to re-
turn to your service, as 1 cannot en-
gage myself to one who is not a, lady,
and, Of course, no lady would have
nursed and waited upon a servant, as
you have done in Inv case"

One authority on the subject of road
draining claims that in prairie soil
good road can be obtained for eleven
months in the year by simply putting
in a good system of tile drainage,
slightly rounding the road bed
and sowing grass seed so that the
roots may aid the drainage. If the
road surface is to perform the service
of roof it must be protected from the
action of narrow wagon wheels. A
sharp turn is always in better condi-
ton than the straight portions of the
road. A little thought shows at once
that this is due to the fact that the
front and rear wheels do not follow
each other and therefore do not form
ruts. A slight difference in the length
of the front and rear axles of wagons
with the use of wide tires would &C
complish more for roads, considering
the expense involved, than any other
one thing. 1t is hard to change Gus
tom, and probably nothing but legis-
lative action can introduce a change.
This change need not prove hardship
to anyone, and the arguments against
such action are comparatively unim-
pOrtant.
Prof. King has reached the following
conclusions: By careful study of local
conditions determine the cost of bad
roads. Pay this cost as interest on cap
ital borrowed for making the needed
improvement. Substitute the cash sys-
tenn of paying road tax for the labor
system. Thoroughly drain all roads
and keep the drains always open. Do
away with narrow tires and axles of
the same length. Macadamize wher-
ever the traffic will warrant after full
filling the above conditions. Keep the
road as clean as you would the roof of
a house, thus affording no chance for
water to collect and destroy the sur
face.-Farmer's Voice.

PARDYS RED FOX.
When 1t Lost IT'S Tail 1t Kept Turnin
Somersaults.

When 1t Lost ITS Tail 1t Kept Turning
Somersaults.
Bill Pardy, of Wheelerville, n. Y,
came walking down the trail from
Odit's camp, up in the North branch,
the other afternoon, with his rife over
his shoulder ard leading full-grown
red fox with dog chain fastened to
leather strap about its neck. Elmer
Hamlin was leaning against the gate
post. remarks the New York Sun, wait
ing for the horses to finish their oats.
He looked at the fox, then at Bill Pardy,
then at the fox again, before he said any
thing. Then he said:
"Well, say; where did you get him 2"
up by Odit's camp" Pardy replied
Then Elmer asked how.
Pardy said that his dog had started
the fox over the Big Ash ridge near the
Dix swamp, and he had gone ahead to
the runway by Odit's camp. The fox
came along and he opened on it with his
rifle. He fired three times, and then at
last the beast went end over end. Pardy
reckoned that the bullet had hit it in the
head; so that when the fox kept
tum bling head overheels he didn't shoot.
When he got to the beast, however, be
found that the bullet had cut its tail off
close and clean. That had made the
beast so light behind that it keeled over
every time it tried to leap, like a boy
turning somersaults. Bill took his
dog chain, tied it to the fox, and after
putting his tail into his pocket, started
for home, first tying bag of cartridges
to the stub of the foX's tail so that it
could walk comfortably.
