A BUDDING HUMORIST,

tall and slender. not quite up to date

leg a smart slap. arose. shook hands
with me and said he was glad to meet
me. believed him. for he looked glad
all the time. You could not look ut
him but he would laugh. He laughed
as he sat at his table writing. When
he had written p thing which pleased
him. he would slap his leg and hugh.

ROADS OF KENTUCKY
OLD TURNPIkES TO BE SUPERSEDED
BY MODEL HIGHWAYS.

Method of RcconstructIon of tho
Limestone F,kea-Points to CO ,sid-
er In the liaintenancc of st,uc
Roadways.
The limestone turupikes of central
Kentucky have been famous for more
than half century. and now Fayctte
county is tho first of localities In the
great west to take up the no lei roads
system on anything more than an ex-
pcrimcntal basis. says the Louisville
Courer-JOurnal. Thirteen great turn
pixies radiate from Lexington like the
spo!ies from n wheel, and for two
miles on each one Of them, commenc-
ing at the city limits, the fiscal court
has ordered to be constructed a turn
pike on the model road system. This
means twenty-six miles of roadway,
and 1t is more than probable that
before the contract for this length Of
road is completed other contracts for
additional road construction on this
principle will he let. AS there are 400
miles Of turnpike in Fayette county
the complete reconstruction would
mean the Investment of $5O0,OOO in
new pixies for the county.
1t is expected that by the fall Of 1902
the twenty-siX miles of model road
contracted for will be completed. The
fiscal court is then expected to issue an
order for an additional two miles on
ench Of the pixies until all are recon
structed throughout the entire length.
The model road when completed is as
smooth as billiard table, sheds water
like dmck's back and, il is asserted. is
more durable than the regulation mac
adamized pike, where the cracked rock
Is simply thrown upon the roadbed
and allowed to adjust itself to condi-
ton. AS n preparation to reconstruct
Ing an old turnpike n fifteen ton spiked
roller Is run over the old road to tear
up the metal, as the rock is called, OF
| which the pike is constructed. This is
| followed by half ton harrow, which
| completes the work. A modern grader
then shapes the metal so that the road

PRINCE HENRY FIGHTS DUEL.
Queen Wiihe!mina's Husband is in
Sword Combat.

Amsterdam, Dec. An spite of of
fetal denials, Investigations show there
is substantial foundation for the story
of a duel having been fought between
Prince Henry, husband of Queen Will
helmina, and Major Van Tets, the
Queens aide-de-camp.
1t appears at a dinner at Het LOO,
her majesty was hurt by some inatten-
ton on the part of the prince and
spoke to him sharply. The prince re-
torted extensively, whereupon Van Tets
made a remark regarding the impro-
priety Of the prince consort's conduct.
A quarrel followed between the aide
de.camp and the prince, who had been
drinking freely and q duel with swords
was fought after dinner. Van Tets
was wounded. He has since been re-
moved to Utrecht to be operated upon.
The same incident gave rise to an
other duel between Prince Henry and
a gentleman of the court. The latter
| was slightly Wounded.
