Stupid Man.

A group of women were talk

at all times and their enormous
denseuess when their wires
were trying to give them a hin t..
"You know one day we had
company unexpectedly, and we
hardly had enough to go
around" said one woman. II
tried to catch my husband S
eye to convey to him that he
was serving the meat too gener.
ously. But he would not take
the hint. When he had given
out the last bit there were two
plates still untitled. What do
you suppose that shameless
man did? He simply called all
the plates back again and
scooped enough off each one to
fill tie remaining two"

Did III

Did the Republican party
ever redeem Il party platform?
Was there ever Il time when it
did not brazenly violate til?
The Northw estern pocket Dor
roughs were made states by that
party for the power it would
give it in the Senate. Then
they lost control. therefore lost
power.
Their last platform pledged
the party to grant Statehood
to New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma and where, oh where,
is that pledge, where oh where
are the hopes of those three
territories? Gone glimmerin G
like ingalls, iridescent dream S
and with it, when taken in con-
nection with Roosevelt's prom
Use to Cuba, to the PhlllpplneS
the last shred Of party honor
has flown with it.
The party buncoes the people
with fair promises for Machine
Grease and Votes, with no in
tention of redeeming them.
Like a bad note, it goes to pro.
test. Like au impudent de.
falcating debtor, asks for more
credit.

A Town Landmark.

The man who thought he had
the knack of saying pleasant
things calculated to warm the
cookies of the oldest heart, was
revisiting the town in which he
had spent a summer twenty
years before.

know as you recall me-" said a
coquettish elderly srinster, APP.
preaching him in the postofice
the day after his arrival.

proachfully, LAS if one could

are one of the landmarks of the
town!"-St. Louis World.

EmbrOiderieS.

4 touch of black seems nee.
essary to properly exploit the
beauties of the colored EN-,
broideries.
Some apparently all white
designs have a very rich look
because a little ecru is intro
duced.
Some embroideries are shap ed
quite differently at the lower
and the upper edge.
Bulgarian colors figure to fine
advantage on heavy linen sorts.
Very smart is a black and tan
and reseda pattern on white.
Embroidery appliques by the
yard come in a number of new
shapes.
Wheel patterns are very open
in the old English style.
Colors are prominent on novel
white embroideries.
Medallious are smarter than
lozenge forms.
Squares dominate fetching
designs.
Diamond shapes are very
good.-Denver News.

The Cost of Bad Roads.

is a point on which The Consti-
tuition has more than once laid
stress. We have often shown
that the unimproved public
is about the most ex.
pensive luxury that any com
can possess. This is so
if we merely take into consider.
ton the wear and tear on stock
and vehicles and the loss of
time in going to and from mar
ket. But The Mobile Register
makes another striking point
for good roads in calling atten.
ton to the "loSs inflicted by a
bad road" III one Alabama
county
An Instance of this is furnish
ed by the county of Perry, of
which the town of Marion is the
center. According to The Reg
lister, the people of the eastern
part of the county, whose trade
is tributary to Marion, are cut
off from that town by the i'm
passable condition of the roads
leading thereto. Thus they
have been forced to do their
trading in CeDtreville, in Bib
county or Selma, in Dallas
county, both of which places
are farther away but easier of
access.
The town of Marion has been
deprived of Its largest and
best trade" and the loss to its
merchants is considera BILE,
while those communities which
have paid some attention to
good road building are benefit
ing in proportion. Yet all this
is brought about by just six
miles of road, leading to the
Catawba river bridge, being
practically impossible.
How many communities in
Georgia and other southern
states have been similarly at.
fected by bad roads may never
be known. 1t is safe to say the
loss already susta ined would
amount to several times much
as it would have cost them to
build good roads, But loss is
not always felt in the diversion
of trade, as above noted. How
many times during the year do
the merchants in our smaller
towns nave cause to Complain
of poor trade because the
farmers cannot get to town."
Even moderate wet spell puts
the average Georgia road out
of condition and the merchant
is deprived of Just that many
days of good trade" He may
reason that he will get ait in
the end, but he does not get it
at all. 1t is a truism that the
more farmer stays away from
town the less money he spends.
And the less money, therefore,
the merchant takes in during
the year, when the farm ers and
the farm hands are kept at
home by bad-or, in other
words, bad roads.
The good roads problem,
therefore, is as much a matter
of concern to the merchant as to
the farmer; TO the townspeople
as to those in the country. 1t
is one in which they should all
join eagerly in solving. There
is not a community in Georgia,
or ewhare. that is not having

ern Utah on account of the position he
held of deputy U. 5. Marshal. So far
as our personal acquaintance with the
deceased extends, the following brief
outline of his life and character, copied
from the Times account, is borne out;
James McGarry was horn at Bohorn-
way, Canada, in 1874, and was therefore
50 years of age. His parents removed
To Rutland, Vermont, where his boy
hood was spent, and at the age of II he
enlisted in the civil war lie served
four years, took part in many battles
and was wounded in both ankles. He
was taken prisoner and confined in the
famous rebel prison at Andersonville
for eight months, de was then ex-
changed and at the expiration of his en-
| listment he re enlisted, but the war was
then about ended.
MIR. McGarry drove an OK team across
the plains just after the war and en-
gagged in mining in Montana. He then
went to white Pine, New, where he
went into the stage business and min
ing, and came 10 this section in 1868,
when the, mineral discoveries were
made in North Star district After
mining for several years he went 10
ranching few miles below Milford,
following this occupation for ten years.
He then removed to Beaver and was APP
