OLD HOME FESTIVAL,
How Maine and New Hnmpshi re
Welcome Their Former Citizens

Last year the governor of New Hamp.
shire established festival called "Old
Home" week The object was to bring
together each year the sons and daugh,
tcrS of the state who were residing in
other states to meet once more in the
towns and cities which were once their
homes. The idea was warmly received
by both residents and nonreSidents,
and appropriate exercises We're held
by many towns to welcome the visit
ors Maine also took up the idea and
this year held an "Old Home" week
which brought thousands of former
citizens, with their children and all
connected with them. back to the
scenes of their childhood. 1t is beau
tiful idea and calculated to work to
the benefit of all concerned.
The success of the festival in New
Hampshire is. described by a CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe.
Already there are evidences that
"Old Home" week is means of help
fulness to many towns from those who
had almost forgotten their native hills
in the turmoil of worldly endcavor far

such to village improvement funds. the
erection of memorial libraries is being

awoke a desire for the preservation Of
childhood's sacred surroundings, and
in innumerable ways the towns report
permanent good is being done by the
recognition of "Old Home week.
Although many towns have not yet
caught the breeze of sentiment which
Is blowing in all directions of the com

years the town or even city in New

special attention to this festival will

Polite, but mbarrassinR.

A pretty little miss OF about IA sum
mers nearly broke up a wedding party
AZ Lin wood a short while ago 1t was
about the first wedding that she had
ever attended. and she felt the inpor-
tance OF the occasion very much. After
the ceremony she noticed that the peo-
pie went mp to the bride and groom and
made remarks to them. She supposed
that they were words of congratula-
ton or coincidence or something of that
sort, but her ideas OF the proper thing
to say under the circumstances were a
little vague. Finally she whispered to
an old friend of the family who was
near by:
What shall say when l go up
thereI" she faltered.
"Oh, jlst anything to show them that
you are glad they are married. Just
something complimentary, you know"
In few minutes the little miss had
made her way to where the happy cou-
pie We're receiving the congratulations.
There was quite crowd around, but
she didn't mind them one bit. She
marched straight up to the bride and.
extending her hand. said:
II wish you many happy returns OF
the day"
The remark convulsed every one in
hearing. but the little miss left the
church with the consciousness that she
had observed the proprleties.-Cincin-

DlSSUADEO FROM SUICIDE,
The Convincing Argument n Parson
Ised With Telling Effect

AN Arkansas country store keeper Of
my acquaintance had a bad attack of
melancholy about year ago" said
New Orleans drummer. and attempted
to commit suicide. He put a pistol to
his head and pulled the trigger, but
the cartridge failed to explode. and DO.
fore he could try it again the weapon
was taken away. However, he swore
he would do the deed the first chance
he got, and he was no doubt really of
that intention when he was talked out
of it 10y little itinerant preacher who
was a reformed gambler. The argu-
ment used by the parson was so pccul-
lar and ingenious that it made a deep
impression on my mind. You know
yod would lie a dead man. he said as
nearly as | can remember, if it wasn't
for the fact thar there was defective
cartridge under the hammer of your re-
yolver. Now, Il defective cartridge is
very unusual thing he went on.
They calculate at the manufactory
tLat there is possibly one to the quar-.
ter million turned out. The chance Of
that bad cartridge being in the boXful
that you bought for your gun was not
over one TO another quarter million.
the chance of your getting hold of it
when you loaded was exactly to 80,
and the chance of it being under the
hammer was | to ). That makes the
total odds to 5O0,OJ5.'
AT thHt point the little preacher sud
denly Strengthened up. his eyes flashed
fire, his chest expanded, and he shook
his fOretingcr under the storekeepcrs
nose. You miserable sinner he roar
ed, do you imagine for Il minute that
the Lord would have given you that
kind of odds and let you win out on
the play if he hadn't got some good
and special use for your life? Don't
let me ever hear of you trying to block
him again..
THE would be suicide thought the
thing over and concluded that the par
son was right. His melancholy prompt
ly disappeared. and the last time | saw
him he was bubbling over with cheer

Cost of Roads.

The Introduction in recent years of
improved road building machinery has
enabled the authorities in some of the
states to build improved stone and
gravel roads quite cheaply. First class
single track stone roads nine feet wide
have been built near Canandaigua, n.
Y, for 5000 to $1,000 per mile. Many
excellent gravel roads have been built
in New Jersey for $1,000 to $1,000 per
mile. The material of which they were
constructed was placed on in two lay
ers, each being raked and thoroughly
rolled and the whole mass consolidated
to thickness Of eight inches. In the
same state macadam roads have been
built for $1,000 to $1,000 per mile,
varying in width from to 20 feet and
in thickness Of material from to II
inches.
