WIDE TIRE FACTS.

with Less strain on Horses.
Recently correspondent Of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican express
ed the belief that "there is no legtsla-
ton that is likely ever to take place
that will benefit the farmers and the
travelling public as much as law re-
quiring broad tires on team wagons "
He might have gone further, and in
cluded among the beneticiaries the team
sters, from whom comes the opposition
to such legislation, says the Boston
Transcript in comment. The ahsurdity
Of spending hundreds of thousands Of
dollars for improved highways and do
Ing nothing to prevent their being cut
to pieces by narrow tired wheels is 80
obvious that it hardly needs more than
mere mention to make itself manifest
to the dullest intellect One Of two
things ought to be done-either there
should be no more money appropriated
to roadmaking or there should be legis-
lation to preserve good roads after they
have been made.
By the substitution of the broad for
the narrow tires heavier loads than
are now possible could be carried, and
with less strain upon the animals that
furnish the motive power, for there is
not nearly so much friction to overcome
whore the wheel, though covering more
ground space, rolls upon the surface
than when it sinks into the earth be-
cause of its narrowness. We do not IN
derstand that there is any scientific OBJ
lection to wide tires. Wherever they
have been tried, they have vindicated
themselves. The rock in the way is the
immediate cost Of exchanging narrow
tires for wide ones, Surely this passing
objection ought not to prevent the pas
sage of legislation which is the natural
sequence of the acts appropriating mon
ey for state highways. If it cannot be
had In any other way, it would be a
saving to the commonwealth to indem-
Nifty the owners Of wagons for the ex-
pense which change of tires would
put them to.

Easy Divorces Condemned.

NOW" says some, 1--WE admit all these
evils, and the only way to clear them out
or to correct them is by easy divorce
Well, before we yield to that cry let us
find out how easy it is now. l have
looked over the laws Of all the states, and
] find that, while in some states 1t
Is easier than in others, in every
state it is easy. The state Of Illinois,
through its legislature, recites long list
of proper causes for divorce and then
closes up by giving to the courts the right
to make decree of divorce in any case
where they deem it expedient. After that
you are not surprised at the announce
ment that in one county of the state of
Illinois in one year there were S33 di-
vorces IL you want to know how easy it
is, yon have only to look over the records
. of the states-in Massachusetts, 800 d.
vorces in one year; in Maine, AIS in one
year; in Connecticut, 40l divorces in one
year. in the city of San Francisco, 1913
divorces in one year; in New England in
one year, 2,113 divorces, and in 20 years
in New England, 10000. Is that not
easy enough? II the same ratio con-

JOHN JACOB ASTOR'S
VERY BEST ARTICLE
And Why He Did Not Write it for
Readers of The Age-Herald.

The Age-Herald has been promising it
self treat for its readers in the shape of an
article by that splendidly equipped young
millionaire, John Jacob Astor who, in
spite of his millions-or because of them,
perhaps-has been able to make an exhaus-
tive study of many topics which are
scarcely understood by men in general.
Astronomy, for instance, has been fad
with the studious young man and he Is
today one Of the best astronomers of the
time. Music has also been a study with
him and, were he inclined he could add q
valuable treatise to the musical library
In the arts mechanical he is past grand
master, understanding more about the
mechanism of the useful things of cleo
trtcity, than any other man except the
wizard Edison, and in many other things
Is he no less gifted, one of these being
the knowledge of church ornamentation,
he having been closely connected with the
building and decorating of the new Epis-
copal church at Rhinebeck of which he is
a vestryman.
The Age-Herald sought the work of Mr.
of the armament of a battery suitable to
go to the Philippines, in fact. just such
battery as Mr.. Astor equipped a year ago
and which did such excellent work at Ma
Mia. Having done what no other one man
did; and having profted by the expert
ence, Mr.. Astor would be well fitted to de-
scribe the formation of an ideal war bat
terry and would be pre-eminently the man

He had three sisters. Mrs. ]. J. Van Allen,
who died many years ago; Mrs. Orme Will
son, and Mrs Coleman Drayton Haig.
Young Astor as boy in school, ana
with private tutors, and later at Columbia
was quiet and studious, prudent and Cd
serving and good" to such an extent that
his fellows in college pronounced him not
very bright.
1t was not until his marriage to Miss
Ava Willing in 1891, that he began to show
his true strength of mind and character.
Miss Willing was one of the well known
Philadelphia "Quaker" vikings; and was
noted for her skill at outdoor sports ana
the extreme conservatism of her family
who were by no means rich. Up to that
time Mr.. Astor had paid no attention to
the fair sex and 1t was supposed that ne
would never marry, but society was cleo
trified at the sudden report of his engage
ment and later at his hasty marriage
The couple went Immediately to Europe;
and upon their return in the fall took up
their residence in house adjoining that
of Mrs William Aston, who liked her new
daughter-in-law immensely.
Then Jack Aston, who had always
been very quiet, began to develop. Re-
lieved from all money cares by the pru,
dence of his wife-for even millionaires
wives can be so reckless as to cause anx-
iety to the family head-he wrote ana I'M
proved himself in every way He began 10
do serious work, specially along the Inc
of Inventions He also manifested hlgn
public spirit and made himself the most
popular of the Astors in this way When

hornets full upon them. The hornets, by
no means choice as to whom they should
retaliate upon, lit upon the first ones they
reached and raised commotion among the
innocent victims.
warm half hour was spent in the at
tempt to convince the small enemies that
they had no desire to cultivate any further
acquaintance with them, during which 30
minutes they had little time for any calm,
dspassionate conversation on current top
les or other intellectual subjects; but each
one showed himself possessed of an I'M
usual amount of activity and seemed not
in the least willing to allow the others to
do all the work of fighting the enemy.
Fan and the young doctor had been off
some little distance seated upon large
rock and interesting as was the episode
they seemed to prefer to behold 1t from
safe distance, for neither ventured in sting
ing distance of the tent
Swollen lips, cheeks and noses were the
fashion for a day or more among them,
and the fortunes of the Phunny family
seemed somewhat on the decline. None
felt themselves fortunate, at least except
Fan and Doctor Rains, who seemed to
find everything particularly delightful.
The scenery was magnificent to them, the
river murmured sweetest music the birds
sang in tenderest strains, the incommodious
arrangements of a camp were not patent
to them; but for all that, the woodland
scenery, nor the river, nor the birds nor
other fascinations of nature seemed to be
so attractive to them as they found one
another to be.
The weeks were going rapidly; fishing,
hunting and rambling about the woods with
occasional days of rest and reading.
There was little opportunity for any mo-
notony, for the boys continually found
new sources for amusement, and Aunt Nan

Fan, Dr. Rains and his friend seemed to
find sufficient resources in one another to
prevent any tedium In the days spent away
from civilization.
One day Dr. Rains had come into the
camp to suggest to the young ladies a
pretty leafy bower, which, the rocks for
seats and the clinging vines made es-
pecially inviting. The girls had been enter

to being deposed. She called out, You

cdent, John being taken up on their way
home, claiming to have passed the hour
more pleasantly than he could have done
had he been in the boat with them.
In a reasonable time they drew near the
vicinity of the camps Hearing voices they
lowered their own and rowed more quietly,
thinking to come upon some of their COM
panions fishing.
Seated upon log which had fallen near
ly half way across the stream, just under
the graceful branches of a beautiful will
low, with her hands clasped upon closed
book in an attitude of close attention, sat
Fan listening to-not her friend Bess Long,
but to the young surgeon who has become
her constant attendant in her rambles.
Judging from her absorbed manner he
must have been narrating something of
unusual interest.
The doctor had dropped lighted match
which he had struck mechanically and then
let fall. 1t had kindled q tiny blaze among
the dry twigs on the log and the boys are
much amused that 1t has not been OBJ
served. '.Look out, you will burn the river
into" they called and Fan and the doc
tor were soon aroused by the scamps COM
ing in full sight. They answered pleasant
ly their teasing queries, but were evidently
relieved as the boys continued towards
their destina ton.
The next day was spent principally in
building a neat little bed room just below
the branches of large tree, where Aunt
Nan, to oblige the boys, removed her be-
longineS. The room consisted of a good,
strong floor with the tent cover above, as
1T had been arranged on the ground Aunt
Nan never felt so safe in it, but sacrificed
any desire to stay below in the greater one
of showing her appreciation of their good
intentions.
While the older boys were hard at work
upon this Ned and Jack had gone little
way from the tents In search of wasp nests
for bait.
They had for some time been bending
over an old stump In full view of the 9TH
ers; and now as all had gathered about
admiring the finished tree-room, sudden
shrek called their attention to the urchins
who dropped their wasp nests and began
frantically to beat themselves about the

cheerily called back as he saw a suspicion
OF tear; but Juha was soon busy at her
task of completing the millinery outfit and
forgot the paper dolls.
Ned and Jack were fishing in the river
near the tent, and mamma suggested to
Julia that she should walk with mamma
to where they were and maybe they would
allow her to fish awhile.
They walked to where the little fellows
were and found them both greatly excited
over the fact that Ned had "a big bite"
as he expressed 1t. Look Aunt Nam" he
exclaimed. See how the fellow pulls, why,
don't you know he is a whopper!"

Jack, forgetting his own hook and display

pounds. I guess now they'll not talk so
much about our spelling sport when we
show them this fellow. Here let me help.
Don't let him go! Pull slowly till you get
him nearer the bank"
Aunt Nan and Julia looked on and talk
ed with as much enthusiasm as the young
fishermen. All are watching eagerly the
result of the big bite.
Here Aunt Nan, you take my pole

we have a fish fry!
