A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.
broadway n Wctting, ms Ex-
planned by Herself.

Mrs. Broadway's dress was bedrag-
gled and her feet were wet. More
over, she was cross, which, says the
New York Sun, was but a natural
consequence of her waterlogged con-
dition.
How did you happen to get so
wet?" asked Mr.. Broadway.
Il was playing keeper to another
persons conscience" was the gloomy
response. "a man rode uptown in our
car the other night that deserves a
Piche in history. 1t was on his ac-
count that l have ruined my dress
and my best pair of shoes. He got
on the car at Thirty-seventh street
and sat down on the front seat, fac
ing me. 1t was raining hard and the
conductor did not come around right
away to take up his fare.
The man wanted to change to a
cross-town car at FOrty-second
street, and he began to beckon to the
conductor TO come up and get his
nickel, but that public servant was
huddled up comfortably on the rear
platform and never budged. When
we reached Forty-second street he
had still failed to materialize and the
man with a conscience was beside
himself with anxiety.
HE couldn't make up his mind
what to do. He didn't like the idea
of being carried past his corner, but
he liked still less to leave the car
without paying his fare. Finally he
hit upon happy eXpedient of which
was the central figure.
"'Pardon me-, he said, will you
take this nickel and when the con-
ductor comes around give it to him,
please?'
with that he dropped the money
into my hand and was off the car and
streaking along down Forty-second
street like a mad goat"
what a chump!" put in Mr.. Broad
way. "He ought to have a monu-
ment erected to his memory. There
isn't another man in New York that
would have done that"
That's what the men all said"
continued Mrs. Broadway. "And he
certainly is one of kind. His ac-
tions were so unusual that they
made me feel awfully foolish, and the
remarks of the other occupants of
those two seats did anything rather
than restore my equanimity. 4 won

benefited thereby pays part, the coun-
ty another part and the state pays the
remainder.
New Jersey was the first state to
take any radical step toward the i'm
provement of her public highways.
The state aid law provides that, on Pc
tition of the owners of two-thirds of
the lands bordering any public road,
not less than mile in length, asking
that the road be improved and agree
ing to pay ten per cent. of the cost, the
county officials shall improve the road,
one-third of the expenses to be borne
by the state, if the road is brought to
the standard fixed by the state com
missioner of public roads, and the bal
ance-66 2-3 per Gently the county.
The states expenditures for such i'm
provements in any one year are linn
tied to $150,0O0, while the county is linn
tied to one-fourth of one per cent. of
its assessed valuation. Since 1895 the
applications for new roads have been
far in excess of the limit prescribed by
law.
It seems to me that it would be a
simple process to extend this system
to the construction of fire lanes. 1t is
foolish to talk of forest culture until
fires are reduced in number. For this
purpose fire lanes are essential, and
this is the only scheme I know of
which seems practical and possible.
Once institute perfect system of fire
lanes under combined state and local
control, and the number and severity
of fires will be reduced to such an ex-
tent that the evil will, I am certain,
gradually fade away, and modern sys-
tens of silviculture will gradually
creep in as the value of wood and land
increases, said DR.. John Clifford before
the New Jersey Horticultural society.

the front of the car, and as | was
nearing my own destination, l was
scared half to death for fear 1

fore we reached my corner. And sure
enough l. didn't. 1t quit raining, too,
just as we got to our street, and L

awful nickel and its owners con-

But why didn't you give it to
somebody else that was going farther
on and let him turn it in?" asked Mr..
Broadway.
Mrs Broadway looked at her hus.
band sternly.
How could I do that?" she de.
manded. 81 had my own conscience
to look after, as well as his. That
man had intrusted his money to me,

end of the car a visit, and | then had
to get off in the pouring rain, but |

mans conscience and my own, so I
suppose l ought not worry about a
little thing like a soiled gown and
soaking shoes"
Mr.. Broadway looked at his wife
admiringly.
"By Jove, Kate" he said, "you are
trump. But you didn't walk back,
did you? You took car, of course ?'
"Certainly," said Mrs. Broadway.
"And that cost you another nickel,
too" he observed.
Mrs. Broadway flushed slightly.

"Oh," said Mr.. Broadway.

The High est-Priced Butter.

Separator butter commands the
highest prices on every butter market
in the world. 1t stands best for fresh
consumption and best after long keep
ing. The best trade in every locality
can no longer be supplied with any
thing else. Every dealer and almos!
every consumer recognizes its unques-
tionable superiority. Almost every
butter prize at fairs, conventions and
exhibitions now goes to the separator,

True Economy in Hay.

There is only one sure way to save
hay, and that is to make something

saves it by feeding scantily is not
