Applies to MASON County.

The following from the Morgan
town News, applies or will to Ma
son county as it does to Mononga-
liza. 1t is full of food for thought:
What are you going to do about
the roads, when they thaw out?
Wade through them, and congratu-
late yourself on how good they
were during mid winter. Or will
you petition the county court to
MacAdamize some of the principal
public highways as an experiment,
and learn if it will not pay to con-
tinue such improvement all the
time. Railroads are good thing
but they need to be supplemented
by good wagon roads leading to the
railroads. The saving in time of
horsehesh and wear and tear of ve-
hicles by good highways would
soon pay for the cost of construct
ing them"

Negro Bought A Negro.

A negro named Fisher Million
was sold into temporary servitude
at Shellyville, Ky, on the 9th in.
slant for vagrancy. He was
sold at public cutlery at the court
house door at Shelbyville by Deputy
Sheriff R. Walter Briggs and was
purchased for 81 by another negro,
David Murphy, who afterwards
said he would have bid as high as
500 for Million had it been neces-
sary in order to buy him. Murphy
told Million that he proposed to
treat him kindly and give him
plenty to eat and wear, but that he
would have to work and might as
well make up his mind to do so.
Murphy intimated he would not
hesitate to apply a black-snake
whip to his "slave" should the
latter prove refractory. Many
negroes attended the sale and
seemed to approve it heartily, but
it is thought the sentiment of the
negroes would have been far other
wise had Million been sold to
white man.

Vow to Remain Single.

In williamsburg. New York, las
Thursday, there was organized ,
society of young gentlemen ant
ladies that has no precedent. Will
solemn vows not to fall in love with
each other and rigid bylaws for.
bidding the wearing of jewelry,
frills and furbelows and waved
mustaches, the Bachelors and Old
Maids Coterie has established
itself in Williamsburg.
Ten young men and ten young
women living there have taken the
VOW to remain single all their lives.
The members betray their lack Of
faith in the binding force of this
VOW by turning the fines into a
fund which will be the only pro-
vision for the members when they
shall reach old age and helpless
ness. They have placed the age
at 65, each member remaining true
to the vow until that age is reached
being entitled to pension from
the fund.
The old maids wear uniform
of solemn black, without ornament,
and white collars and cuffs and
bonnets of black. But they can't
hide their rosy cheeks, their saucy,
merry eyes and their tempting
rosebud lips from gaze, nor can
they help being charming.
The first meeting was held at
the house of Chief Bachelor Alex
ander, 2l0 Graham Avenue. 1t
was ordained, not without some
faint protest from certain ones,
that should any member discover
any symptoms of a tender feeling
by a member toward any person of
the opposite sex, charges must be
preferred, and if a conviction is
had on a trial by the full club the
guilty one shall be fined. The
maids wear pin in the form of
and sheaf of hay, while
the bachelors wear wishbone and
a miniature pipe in their scarfs.
The club had hardly organized
when counter-plotters got together
and organized Il secret conspiracy,
the purpose of which is to court
the sold maids" and capture the
''old bachelors" if possible, and
thus the new organization will
have a fight with an organized
from the start.

A new version of an old fable
comes from the Far West: In
Kansas three men undertook to
cross a swollen stream in q leaky
boat, and, as chance willed it, one
was Democrat, the second a Re-
publican and the third a Populist.
In their dilemma they agreed that
each should throw overheard his
heaviest burden. The Republican
began by unloading his heavy
Dingley tariff. The Populist fol-
lowed by dropping his free silver
coinage, and the Democrat closed
by throwing overboard--the Popu-
list.

Not long ago President RoOse.
welt expressed his disapproval OF
the custom of docking the tails OF
horses. Now he has furnished
fresh proof of his friendship foi
the horse by urging the abandon
ment of the proposed race from
Deadwood to Omaha. The cow
boys of the Far West had made all
arrangements for this event, when
the President, who had been con-
suited in the matter, advised them
to abandon the race. Mr.. ROose-
velt's objections were based upon
considerations of humanity. There
is nothing to be gained by subject
ing horses to such cruel test of
their endurance and speed as is
involved in long-distance races.

- For a moment Harriet lay still and
glowered at her out of distrustful green
eyes, and then the mother love beaming
down at her overcame her, and broke
her stubborn little heart to bits. With
hungry cry she flung her arms round
Mrs. Murkle's neck and buried her face
against her shoulder. - l..s' F. A. ~.
A minute later and the two figures,
one tall land slim and the other very

in the boarding into the cool shadow of
the arch. = l., =. =..,<.'+
At first Mrs. Murkle could see moth
ing, but by degrees she saw a sight
which nearly made her burst out laugh

little round nest made Of straw and
sacking and blankets, and both peeoiAg
out at her like startled rabbits.
.'Oh, you dears! you dears!" she cried,
and falling on her knees, ,cuddled them
all up together in her arms. =
Mr.. Murkle meanwhile had uncordcd
his wife's box, put on the kettle, and
laid the tea, putting out all the best
cracked cups and saucers to the best adj
vantage, and had also brought out the
new cake. the shrimps and the water
cress, and made, as he himself said.
quite an 'andsome spread of it, and no
mistake" Then he went to the window,
and looked out rather gloomily into the
street. -.., .-5s..F ~. e. r.E :. = -
He was troubled, and many memories
Of what might have BEEN were vexing
him tonight. Why had he not brought
Harriet up better? Why had he 50 often
shirked the responsibilities with his chill
dren, and not corrected them when he
knew that he ought to have done SO?
Why had he let Maudie poison Harriet's
mind against her new stepmother, and
not explained things himself to his chill
dren? A deep sigh broke from him.
Poor little Polly-Harriet would lead her
"cat and dogs life'' he knew, and she
would never be able to rule that spoiled
and self-willed child. Why should al
ways the wrong people suffer--it ought
to be him and him alone. Suddenly he
leaned out Of the window and gave q
surprised exclamation. Was it possible7
