Samuel P. Sprinkle sustained brok, n
leg in peculiar manner Sunday morn
ing. He was packing a cayuse prepar-
atory to taking an overland trip to his
home at PriEeyille, Oregon. The horse
was not used to this kind OF work and
when the first bundle was thrown on its
back it wheeled about and started to
run. Mr.. Sprinkle held the rope, to
which the horse was fastened, and when
it made lurch he braced himself to re-
strain the horse. In this effort his right
foot struck the ground with great force,
wrenching the ankle out of place and
SCATTERING two bones. At first he did
not think any bones were broken. He
took the affected foot and threw it back
into place, but it would not remain
there. He was then carried into his
house near by and DIR. Bonney was
called, who reduced the wound and set
the fractured parts. He is now getting
along very we'll, but it will be some time
before he will be able to walk.

In undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure liberal
support from the German population Of

doing considerable printing. but in this
he was disappointed, and the publica-

after a few numbers had been issued.
The Icitung was Il small sheet of
four pages, Gia by . inches, the text
printed in double columns with Roman
type. and at the bottom of the fourth
page bore the imprint: "Philadclphia:

To 20 to vital subject, the cost to
the farmer of good roads, let me pre-
sent the following example in the state
of Illinois: If farmer grows corn on
his quarter section and can haul it to
market not when the price is low, but
when it is high, he can gain, 3, 4 or
even . cents a bushel, and thus the
road tax will give him additional prof
1t. Instead of having to 20 to market
when the roads all over the country are
passable and the market prices are low
he can wait until the price rises and
sell his goods then.-IIoward ii. Gross,

and it had heen pretty well established

any questions. In watching him | as

customer. We came to be on quite
friendly terms, and | tlattered myself
that he had not the slightest suspicion

One of our men occupied room in the

had learned that Saunders was home
only two nights per week. He came
and went as did my neighbor Hadan.
year after | began watching the
bric-a-brac shop there were complaints
made about Il certain merchant tailor
named Dawson. He was making suits
to order so cheap that other tailors de-
clared the goods must be stolen. AS a
matter of fact several bolts of cloth

away were found in his shop, but he

narrow margin. became a customer

toners TO him, as had to Saunders.
There were many times when we had
a glass of ale and a pipe together, and
from the very outset | used my best
efforts to get on to his little game.
He continued to make suits to order
far cheaper than his rivals, but though
his shop was searched again and again
no more suspicious goods were found.
Dawson was full of talk and seemed
to be without suspicion, but | got no
information from him to help my case.
| early ascertained that he lived In
Montgomery place and had a wife and
two children. BY the merest accident

home only three nights per week. and
| am honest enough to confess that |
did not connect the circumstance with
the domestic life of Hadan or Saun-
ders. The reason didn't was because I
had not yet suspected Hadan of any
thing and because had no case
against the other two.

house with me. he cultivated my ac-

BY the law of the road is meant
those rules and regulations established
for the control and guidance of persons
while using the highway rs distin-
guished from the great body Of the
law concerning roads and streets. In
the United States the law of the road
requires that persons with vehicles
when meeting on the highway shall
drive their respective vehicles to the
right sufficiently to allow them to pass
each other without Interference, and
when passing another vehicle going in
the same direction the driver is re-
quircd to turn to the left, and the
person in front is forbidden to inter-
fere with the one in the rear passing
If the road is sufficiently wide for one
to pass. This is the general rule
throughout the United States and is
usually established by statutes which
vary slightly in their wording. But
the same rule prevails in the absence
of statute.

Three of n Kind.

The iceman and the plumber and the coalman sat
apart;
No glad or joyous sentiment found in ethcr's
heart.
The goldman and the plumber sighed signs
both long and deep,
And then the iccman hung his head and soon be-
gan to weep.
"Now, what is this2" the plumber cried; 81
know have my woes
The weather is SO warm and mild no pipe is
frozc."
The coalman said: THAT'S my complaint. The
weather is so bland
That coal is commodity which is not in de-
mand."
The iccman wept. He sobbed aloud. The others
then inquired
"Why do you wall? What sadness has these bitter
tears inspred7
You had your chance last summer, when the days
fierce and hot;
We waited for the winter, but the winter cometh
not"
The iceman raised his fearful face and ruefully
began:
" 'Tis true you have your troubles, but I'm the
unhappy man.
The ice has not begun to freeze, and, oh, 1 sadly
I'll have to raise the prices very high the coming
year"
The plumber and the coalman then gave him
scornul stare;
1t might be irnpolte TO say they were inclined to
swear,
But slowly and with dignity they took themselves
away,
While through the iceman's briny tears a smile
began to play.

EarthQuak~s Didn't Disturb Him.

In the winter of 1899 Marion Craw-
ford was in San Francisco on lecture
tour under Major Pond of New York,
was during his soiourn in the city that
San Francisco was visited by a rather
severe earthquake. The novelist was
stopping mt the Palace hotel Many of
the guests had never experienced such
a tremOr. 1t was shortly before mid
night, and many were in their rooms
asleep. In a few seconds there were
the greatest CONSERVATION and terror.
The halls were filled with excited men
and women, and for awhile a panic
was imminent. After quiet had been
restored Mr.. Crawford was discovered
in the cafe by an excited friend. He
was sitting at table eating and read
ing paper. His friend rushed up to
him and in breathless excitement ex.
claimed, Did you feel it?'
Feel whatT asked Mr.. Crawford.
"The earthquake"
"Why, bless me, no! But, since you
mention it, thought the cream that |
poured in my coffee seemed to have
been stirred round and you notice my
spoon lies here beside my cup"
Mr.. Crawford afterward explained
that he had become so accustomed to
earthquakes in Italy that he seldom
paid any attention to them and that
not infrcquently they would occur
without his notice.
