The boy nursed his wrath until with

wharf made this little speech to the
captain:

Money In Circulation.
Pennsylvania pays tribute to SIS
ter state through the columns Of the
Philadelphia Press when it says that
New Jersey Gin some respects surpasses
all its sisters in essential civilization.
II was the first and is still the foremost
in the good roads movement. IL has the
best state road law and is going ahead
converting section after section OF Its
former sand and mud roads into smooth,
hard telford that doubles and quadruples
farmers horse power without incrcas-
ing his stock and makes the state at
tractive and inviting as a place Of resi-
dence.
Ii will also soon have universal free
roads, as the toll roads that still exist
in the southern and western portions Of
the state are to be done away with.
The last Legislature passed law pro-
viding for the appraisement and con-
demnation Of toll turnpikes and their
conversion into free roads
Since the good roads Of New jersey
have come to form such a network IL
has been interesting to note how many
dormant country hotels have come to
life, new roadhouses built and wayside
booths erected, while farmers and others
have opened their houses to dispense re-
freshments to wheelmen and other tour
lists Travel has immensely increased in
districts that were formerly well nigh
deserted, and considerable money has
been spent by travellers in localities
where it was o boon to the inhabitants
