 Apropos of humor-Mark Twain has just written a new novel. It is called "A Double-Barrelled Detective Story" On the cover the author expresses his con- viction that i've should never do wrong when people are looking" Just the kind of philosophy upon which Tom Saw yer" "Huck Finn" and the 'Inno- cents" are built. Incidentally 1t is the humorous keynote of the new novel.
 
 Speaking of Mark Twain, he said re- gently, T used to have a notion that there wes only one place in the world where I could write and that was El- mira where I used to spend nearly all my summers. But I've got over that notion now. I find can write any where.' At present, the humorist is writing at Riverside, N. Y. where he occupies a beautiful house, literally with in a stones throw of the river.

How TO Get Them.

Soon Good Roads Convention is TO
meet in Richmond. Generally these CON
ventions result in little practical good
for the sadly neglected public highways
Of the Commonwealth. Bnt We have
greater hopes for this one. because MIR.
Montague is behind ii.
How can we have good roads in Yir-
gina We viii answer. First gct the
money by special taxation for road pur-
poses, or better still by issuing leach
county, long time bonds. Then have a
special commission TO expend the money
unGer the supervision of competent en-
gineers. Let the State cease hiring its
convicts TO make shoes and compete
with honest labor in the factories. but
lend them to the counties to work the
roads
Like any other business proposition,
so the public roads.

SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER.
Mother Brown Found to Be Living in Filth
Up Chicago Greek.

~ p Sh1dSO
Mother Brown. who has been living
up Chicago creek for the last four
years. is to be looked after.
The report reached the city last Sat
urday that the old lady was sick in
bed and was in need. Marshal
O'Rourke left for the house. and. upon
arriving, found that she was quite i'll
and that there was no one present to
help her
This case is one of the most curious
that has ever been called to the atten-
tiOn of the authorities of this city. The
old woman is considered slightly de-
mented, and she insists on remaining
alone. For the last four years she has
been a conspicuous figure on the
streets of the city and almost every
day has been seen on the streets or in
the alleys gathering up refuse. This
she packed to her home. Slop-barrels
and other places where could be found
rotten things We're her favorite spots.
The collection of bric-a-brac which
surrounds the house has been the talk
of all people who have passed, and the
premises are indeed a curiosity Here
can be found almost anything from
an old tin can to an empty barrel. The
house can hardly be seen on account of
the great amount of rubbish which she
has piled around it.
When Marshal O'Rourke arrived at
the house he found the dirtiest place
which was ever brought to his notice
The chickens We're roosting ON the top
of the bed where the sick woman lay,
and the rooms We're two to three inches
deep in filth. From all appearances
they had not been swept out for many
months, if ever at all.
In the kitchen the old lady had a
pile of boxes and in each one could be
found old pieces of meat and stuff
gathered from the slop barrels of the
hotels. This she would pack away and
when il got old she would eat it.
1t is estimated that there is at least
ten tons of rubbish thrown in the yard
and every pound of this Mother Brown
carried TO her home. What she want
ed with it no one knows. but it is sup.
posed that her mania runs in this di-
rection.
A physician was called and he left
medicines for the woman.
1t is thought that she got ptomaine
poisoning from eating the stuff which
she gathered up. She made a rapid re
covery and during the latter part of
this week she was again running
around the streets.
The humane officers have been noti-
fed and it is said that commitment
papers will be issued and the woman
taken to a place where she can be
properly cared for
Mother Brown is the owner of the
house in which she lives. 1t is stated
that years ago she was quite wealthy,
but that a great portion of her saw
ings We're swept away during the panic
of 1898. At that time she was the
owner of several houses In Denver and
the income she derived was sufficient
to keep her in good shape.
Her early history is not known, as
she has that faculty of keeping silent
regarding her former life.
