THE PERPETUAL LIGHT.


Remarkable Lamp In Louisiana
That Never Goes Out.
"The most remarkable lamp in this
section of the country" said a man
who cruises great deal along the
coast to the New Orleans Timcs-Dem
ocrat. lis to be found in the water area
between Lake Borgne and Mississippi
sound in Il lonely, desolate, isolated
spot. where the fall of human feet and
the dip of oars are heard only four
times year
"The light is some distance this side
of Bay st. Louis and is Il little south
Of Chinchuba. 1t stands away out in
the marsh. but can be seen from the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. 1t
burns all the time, day and night
year in and year Ort. 1t li;cicrs away
for the benefit of the mariners who
frequent these waters. 1t is the Per-
pctual light The sun, the moon and
stars may come and go, but the light
which shines out in the dismal marsh
is always the same. 1t is the one
bright thing in Il rather dismal stretch
of country. Sraweeds grow wild and
rank in that region. The land, such
as one may see from a railroad train.
is Il fiat and treeless waste. 1t is with
out any cheerful aspect, low. gloomy,
Overhung by miasmatic mist and per-
feet prairie of wild and matted weeds
of the kind which flourish in marshy
regions. 1t is threaded by sluggish
arms of water.
"Once every three months this lamp
is visited by human being. 1t is
filled with oil, trimmed up and put in
condition to burn for three months
longer. Thus it is visited four times
year. 1t is situated so that the winds
cannot put it out 1t renders good
service, never cXplOdes. never goes out,
never gets DINNER or brighter, but
burns with the same steady power all
the time. 1t has earned the name Of
the Perpetual light"

YOUNG GRANTS COLT.
The story of Purchase That
Earned the boy Much Teasing.

10y Much TeustuS.
When Ulysses $. Grant was small
boy living in Georgetown. o.. H. want
ed, like most boys. to own horse,
and one particular colt belonging to Il
man named RalSton he wished cSpc-
cially to have. TO indulge the boys
taste and buy the colt His father Of
fercd Mr.. RalstOn SO but the owner
valued the colt at SO and refused the
offer, taking the animal home with
him.
AS the hours passed after the little
horse had trottcd away with its owner
Ulysses disappointment and cagCrncss
for possession increased, and he final
ly begged his father to pay the SD de-
mandcd. His father said that $50 was
all the animal was worth. but since
Ulysses desired it so much he might
go to Mr.. Ralston and offer $50 again.
If, his father added, he could not buy
it for $50, he might offer $500, ana if
the owner would not let it go for S222.J0
he might. in order to obtain it, give SO.
Ulysses therefore mounted Il horse
and set out for Mr.. Ralston's. He was
at that time probably about eight years
old.
When he found the owner he told
him, Papa says l may offer you $50
for the colt, but if you wont take that
to offer you $3.50, and if you won't
take that to give you So
The eagcrncss of the boy to gain the
horse could not brook any barrier. 1t
is needless to say that he paid SO and
led the animal home.
Grant said, in writing his memoirs,
that the story of this purchase of his
got out in the village and it was long
before he heard the last of it. The
schoolboys delighted in teasing him
about it; schOolboys are very often
little barbarians for tOrmcnting one
another, and they did not let Ulysses
forget this one instance when he was
behind the rest i'm cleverncss.
He kept the horse for several years
and finally sold it for 500 the poor
animal having become blind. Later
he found it taken from the road and
working the tread wheel of Il ferryboat
which piled between the Ohio and
Kentucky banks of the Ohio river.

Get produce to the cities before stormy
weather makes roads impassa1lc is so
universal that storG sc warehouses can
not hold all the surplus goods. 1t is
easily demonstrated that the lack of
good roads is thus causing our farmers
great loss.
TO turn to another class of country
residents suburban life is increasing.
1t is spreading more and more in the
better parts of the country, but it will
be noticed that the trolley lines deter
minc largely the direction of the move
ment. People naturally prefer subur-
ban life to city life for at least eight
months in the year, but they do not
enjoy isolated country existence, where
they are shut off from neighbors and
communication with the city or town
fer weeks and months at Il time. That
is against our American idea of Socia
blity, and 4 few who are imprisoned
in this way are anxious to sell and
move away. 1t is impossible to sell
farms and country residences which
are neither OH an electric railway road
nor II good country highway. The well
kept home located on either has Il mar
ket value which another shut off from
such connecting link with the rest Of
the world does not possess.
The electric line has demonstrated
more than anything else the actual
value of ready communication between
the city and country. 1t has developed
the possibility of the country as an
abode during most OF the year. 1t has
Indirectly demonstrated also that good
highways can produce visible assets
in country property as nothing else can
do. Back from the lines of the trOlleys
are homes which have been laid out
with care and expense. With their
erection has come greater cooperation
for bC .cr roads connecting ut least
with the street railroads and business
portion Of the towns. The owners Of
these places have realized the value of
Icing in ready communication with the
lest cf the world. A good highway
will thu increase the value of Il coun-
try place from 10 to 20 per cent or
more. This rise is permanent and be-
comes an asset to be realized upon.
Houses thus located are in demand.

Highway Hints.

A hard surface well rounded so that
lle water will run off quickly is the
lccrct of good road, says the New
York Tribune. Attention after road
is once permanently built is imperative,
go that the washed out places and de-
pressions where water stands may be
repaired. a little timely work will
iecp road in good shape,
Great loss has often been Occasioned
through temporary and unskillful FIX
ing of roads and the erection OF tiinsy
and insufficient culverts and bridges.
1t is poor economy to erect anything
but permanent structures. built to last
and stand the severest tests.
Burned gumbo is very serviceable
material for use on country roads. 1t
Is not as durable as crushed stone. but
is superior to dirt
Every one who wants a good road
ought to want II bad enough to help It.
1t makes no difference what n person
does, whether he is merchant, pro
fessional farmer or mechanic. he 70
benefited by good roads.

TO GET GOOD ROADS
PROPERTY OWNERS MUST BE IN
TERESTED IN THE MATTER.

The Financial Value of Good High
ways-HOv They Help the Farmers
md Increase the Value of n COun-
try Place.
The property owner is the man whose
interest and cooperation must be en-
listed if road Improvement is to con-
tinuc. Cities may have the power to
enforce street Improvement, and it is
difficult for property owners to check
the movement, but in the country dis
lricts the first move must generally
originate with the property owners
along the highways, says Il writer in
Good Roads Magazine. If their inter-
est cannot be enlisted, it will be hard
work to produce good results.
The question thus comes down to the
point of interesting the property OWL
crs, and this class cannot be made to
help the movement unless it can be
shown that good roads are available
assets upon which they can actually
realize and base definite results and
conclusions.
This is no easy point to prove, and
yet it is susceptible of demonstration
both theoretically and practically.
First, good loads help the farmers by
hrin"in" their products and homes in
closer touch with the markets. The
man who has farm produce to sell and
can market it when prices are highest
will realize greater profit than if he
has to sell the goods when the mar
kcts are glutted. In the late summer
and fall of the year the country roads
are probably in their best condition.
Nearly every farmer can get his prod
uctS to market without difficulty. The
result is that prices for all farm crops
are lowest then. and the glut is some
times so great that there are no profits.
The Spcculator realizes this, and he
steps in and purchases farm products
by the quantity and stores them until
prices rise later on, when the country
roads become impossible. The rush to
