.Fiftx Mi1es 10 Marketl,.,I I. 3

It is not an uncommon thing in
France to see farmer 40 or. 90 miles
from home in wet weather with heavy
load. If he sees a prospect Of 9 three
days. rain, he puts his tarpanlin over
his load, a cover over bis horses and5a
waterproof coat on and starts of to mar
ket. he may go 80 miles before he finds
a market that suits him, or he may
know in advance Just where he isgoing.
You do not often see anybody driving 80.
miles through rainstorm IN the United
States to find a market for q load Of
hay, but.it is not at all uncommon TO
see farmers wagons 40 or 30 miles from
home in France. They choose the wet
weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just as good then as at any time.

Warning Against War.

Confederate Veterans are filling big place
in the public eye Just now.
First-Those who may have earned dollar,
or who may have laid away dollar for q
rainy day, are called upon TO expend that
dollar for a monument TO the memory OF bis
comrades and to his own glory. This being
perhaps the first instance where man has
been called upon to build his own monu'
ment.
Second-The clamor for pensions Ia unsnr-
passed In this country, and II is fair to as
sumo that some Of the old soldiers have
striven faithfully to prove that they ARE poor
enough to be entitled to pension, or to
enter county poor house.
Third-Tne young politicians are engaged IN
the noble effort to appropriate money for the
erection Of House, or Hotel for the accom-
mediation Of another class of old soldiers.
Soldiers everywhere. Craving evermore.
Calls daily. Empty pockets. No rest. Pill
grlms weary. People tired. Patience fraz
zled. Life worthless. Good Lord, let Gatrlei

what had been done.
Betty did not return to the office in
the city. She was wanted at home,
she wrote, aud the firm excused her
and wondered how a bu-iness girl
could throw away her prospects so
lightly. 1t was a long and wearisome
struggle to win Miss Matte back to
life; and in another sense, an equally
long and wearsome matter to avert the
threatened ruin. All the girls in.
domitable courage, all her brains and
talent, and also all her savings, were
needed to eXtort patience from the
creditors, to unravel the fearful tangle,
and to save the shop. But it was done,
without help or faltering, and a day
came when matters were almost a.
they had been in Daniels days; and
Betty repeated nothing of what she
had heard to Miss Matte.
There was at last pleasant evening,
when the ghost of Daniels sister came
downstairs, sharper featured than ever,
but robbed of all her grimness and as.
perity, and when she saw what had
been done, and knew that her home
was safe and that she was free from all
the struggling. she burst into wild
crying, and would have knelt at Bet
ty's feet had not the girl prevented it.

"You know?" repeated Miss Matte,
incredulously. "You know that when
George Marsh wrote to you kept bis
letters back, and that when he was
seeking you I told him I didn't know
where you were? Oh! Betty, Betty,

I hated you, and I could not bear that

truth. But will"

who put Belty's hand in her lovers

Convict Labor ON Roads.

Convict labor in road building ID be-
ing employed in Duval county, Fla.
and in North Carolina. In the latter
case ak cents per day per head is said
to cover the cost Of food, clothes, medi-
cal attendance and guards, as compared
with 2S cents per day for maintaining
the same prisoners in Jail. The Duval
Good Roads association Of Florida adj
yocates the use' of short term convicts
on such work and makes the claim that
they would in this manner pay back
some of the money expended upon them,
and they would also stand a better
chance Of being called back to an honest
life than if they were made to associ-
ate with more hardened criminals in q
prison.

Wheel Tracks.

According to the statement of the
president of the Missouri Good Roads
association, the people Of that state
spent s490,O00 during 1896 for road
Improvement, while it cost them just
$500, 600 for roads supervisors. In 9th
or words, it cost the state $1,000, 600
during the year for $490, 900 worth OF
road improvement.
In France there are "A, 900 miles of
first class roads built by the govern
ment, and about an equal number OF
miles have been built by the different
departments, as well as thousands of
miles built by smaller divisions. From
the beginning of the work to the end
there is a system, and responsibility is
assured.

General Grant Favored Good Roads.

Nearly 30 years ago General Grant,
in enumerating necessary lines Of pub,
lie improvements, named the public
schools. and highways. Once, when he
and General Sheridan were in remi-.
niscent mood, the old commander said
to Little Phil, speaking Of the latter's
famous ride to the battle Of Cedar
Creek: "Sheridan, if that battle had
taken place after prolonged rain and
there had not been good pike from
Winchester, you would never have been
promoted to the head Of the United
States army. You would not have reach
ed the battlefield to cheer your men,
and there would have been great de-
feat for the Union forces instead Of a
great victory. That would have left
Meade and Thomas q long distance
ahead of you in the line of promotion. "

Keep the Road Dry.

F. A. Dunham, who has been prom
inently identified with the farfamed
system Of modern highways Of New
Jersey, at a meeting Of the Connecticut
Valley Highway association, stated
that poor material we'll put together
can be made to produce better results
than first class material carelessly put
together. Nothing is more fatal to du,
rability than the drainage Of the road
bed, and more particularly the sub
drainage, which is often neglected. A
maoadam road cannot be left to itself
after a completion, but needs constant
supervision. "

funds. Abbeville has most excellent schools,

Rich Man Comes to Grief.

Judge Hamilton. counsel for Fitz-
gerald Moore, has just returned to Ell
Paso from Las Cruces, n. NJ, where
his client, one Of the rich men Of the
southern part of New Mexico, was
given sentence OF sixty days in jail
for contempt of court Moore, who is
widely known. has been defendant in
two sensational suits lately which cost
him the greater portion of his fortune.
His second wife obtained a decree of
divorce and was awarded half his es.
tate by the courts of FL Paso, and his
son, Lee Moore, by his first wife. OBJ
tanned judgment for 100000 at Las
Cruces as his portion of the estate left
by his mother. That court enjoined
Moore from disposing of New Mexico
property. but while the suit was pend
ing he attempted to sell some cattle
on one Of his ranches and was impris-
oned for contempt.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Some people are never happy except
when hunting trouble. Hon. w. 8.
Hopewell Is chairman of the territorial
democratic central committee. Last
Saturday night he was made a Mystic
Shriner, and in few days he will be
made an Elk.
Will some one tell us what Mr.. Fer.
gusson did while he was delegate In
congress-? II Is true that he has
made several trips to Washington
since he was delegate looking after the
location of the military post In this
city. but each time II was at the ex-
pense OF the people of Albuquerque.
At Las Vegas Mr.. FERGUSON made
the claim that he is entitled to the
vote of the railroad men of New Mex
leo. This Is fresh news to people.
When and how and where did Mr. Fer
gusson ever do anything for railroad
men? He was employed to prosecute
the poor fellows who engaged in the
big A. r. U. strike.
Photography has entered so largely
into railroading that 1t now often takes
the place Of manuscript report. II
tells with the greatest fidelity the story
of the condition of roadbeds, bridges.
building operations. wrecks. etc. and
it relieves headquarters of much OF
the drudgery of wading through
lengthy written statements.
Whether New Mexico is admitted as
a state. or Is not, II will require some
special Legislation to promote its inter
ests and develop its resources. Which
IS the most sensible thing to do, says
the Las Vegas Record, to send friend
or an enemy of the republican admin
istration at Washington to ask for
favors? A vote Tor Rodey is a vote for
New Mexico's progress.

are designed 10 separate this foreign
matter from the water before II reach
