A Little Fable.

There was once an Astute Manager of
a Dramatic Company, which was Playing
to about Ten Dollars a Night, says the
Baltimore American. Now the Astute
Manager argued to Himself: There will
have to be Something Doing here pretty
Suddenly. or it will be a Case of HE to
the Friendly Inn, for we cannot eat the
Papier-mache Turkey"
So he put out the S. R. o. sign and Re-
fused to let any one into the Theater that
Evening.
Next day there was a Line of People
reaching from the Box Office to the edge
of Town.
Moral: If you carry Something besides
Hair under your Hat you do not need to
Dramatize Novel or take Milk Baths.

Eighteen thousand Cuban negroes, de-
scendants of negroes from the Congo
country, it is alleged, have sent an agent
to the King of the Belgians TO petition
him to send them back to the Congo and
permit them to establish themselves as
free citizens of that country. They do
not desire to become Cuban citizens, but
wish to return to the home of their faith
ers, which is now dependency of Bel
gium. Upon returning to Africa these
negroes propose to engage in the culti-
walton of tobacco rubber and cocoa. The
Cubans would probably not be sorry to
have the Belgian King give his sanction
and aid to the project.

Didn't Know the Doctors cripple. ~

When Rev. DR.. s. Reese Murray was do
ing pastoral work in Montgomery, Ala,
he was called on to marry couple at the
home of Mr.. Pollock, the leading mer-
chant in the city, says the Baltimore
Sun. Mr.. Pollock was a wealthy Hebrew
who lived in great magnifcence, his home
being the former residence of an ex-Gov-
ernor of Alabama. The bride a Gentle
was an inmate of the house and the wed
ding guests were entertained lavishly. The
supper was remarkable for all sorts OF
delicious things to eat and drink and for
the handsome display of silver and glass.
In the early part of the meal a waiter
approached DIR. Murray and was about to
fill his glass
Not any for me-" said Dr. Murray
quietly.
IT'S champagne. SIR" insisted the
waiter.
Not any" repeated DIR. Murray.
The waiter turned away, but came back
instantly with another bottle.
Have this, sir? 1t is port"
mo, l don't care for any," from DR..
Murray.
Again the man went away, only to re-
turn with a third bottle.
This time he smiled confidingly. AS he
was about to pour the wine he said
"Claret. sir"
mo" again from DR.. Murray.
A fourth wine was brought and declin-
ed. Then the waiter came up close to DR.
Murray, leaned over his shoulder and
whispered softly in his ear:
Doctor, we have whisky and brandy in
the cellar; which can get for you, slr?"

The ladies of church aid society in
Newport, KY, recently published a cook
book which they offered for sale for the

Among other ingredients 1t was directed
that there be put into the mixture, Half

The New Jersey Legislature has passed
an act designed for the purpose of pre-
serving and protecting the Palisades of
the Hudson river, appropriating $4,000
for the, purpose and surrendering the ri
parian rights, which are said to be worth
8, 100000. The state of New York will
now be asked to pass similar bill and
appropriate 100000 for the Palisades. No
doubt is felt of the success of the meas
ure in the New York Legislature. Should
it be passed, it would mean that the Hud-
son Palisades, one of the finest panora-
mas of natural scenery in the world,
would be saved from destruction and pre-
served to lovers of the beautiful In ma
ture. For the past few years blasters
and quarrymen have been making sad
havoc along the great precipices.

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.

A California newspaper strengthens its
argument in favor of improved country
roads with elaborate tables showing the
extravagant cost of bad roads. A care
fully made calculation shows the aver
age wagon-haul for farm products to
market or to railroad or steamboat to
be as follows in the different sections:
Eastern States .................5.9 miles
Norpnerh states ................... 60 miles
Southern States ................S miles
Cotton states .....................12 6 miles
Frdlrle states Observation-Disclosures. s. s. miles
Faclnc states .....................233 miles
The cost Of hauling a ton of freight by
wagon to market. railroad or steamboat
is as follows:
Eastern states ''.''''''''.'............ 81 50
Northern states OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Sc
southern states ..........................2 72
cotton states ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. g. 05
fnairle states OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. "a
Pacific states ......................,,.. Z. 70
THE difference in the cost per ton per
mile" says the paper. "is due to the diff
ference in the quality of the roads, and,
therefore, in the hauling power of the
horse. The cost in the Pacific States is
p cents per mile. while the railroad
charge is less than half a cent per ton
per mile"
On the basis of the figures above, the
average cost of the wagon-haul on cot
ton, counting four bales to the ton. Is
about rs cents per bale. 1t has repeated
ly been demonstrated that on a good
road one horse can do the work of two
on bad road. with less wear and tear
upon the wagon and therefore with a
saving of better than 50 per cent. of the
cost With good roads in the cotton
states, therefore, the 10000, 900 bales of the
cotton crop could be moved to the rail-
roads, the steamboats, or the market az
saving of $S.75O,0OO per annum. That is
on the one item of cotton alone. To this
would be added the saving in cost of haul
Ing fertilizers, machinery, supplies. etc.
sum that would be quite as large II
not larger.
Another great item of economy eris.
ing from good roads would be the reduc.
ton IN the number of horses and mules
necessary to be kept TO do the hauling
and the saving of their food This re.
duction of expense would foot up millions
OF dollars a year in the cotton states
1t is safe to say that good roads in tn,
cotton states would mean to the cottor
growers every year saving Of at leas
81 lot every bale produced. And othel
interests would benefit in proportion t.
the number of teams employed.
