The death in the library, about whicI
her most perplexing memory hung. took
place when she was child and her father
held that high governmental position which
has reflected so much credit upon the fam

persisted had been intimate friends. They
had fought together in the of 1912 and
received the same distinguishing marks of
presidential approval afterward They
were both members of important COM
mission which brought them into diplomatic
relations with England. 1t was while serv-
ing on this commission that the sudden
break occurred which ended all intimate
relations between them, and created a
change in her father that was equally re-
marked at home and abroad. What &C.

Good Roads information.

People Of the Southern States whc
desire information on the modern
science of road building can obtain it
free Of charge by applying to the Of
fee of public road inquiries, which is
a division of the United States depart
ment of agriculture at Washington.
There are in use today many inyen'
tions and powerful machines that
make road building easier AID less ex-
pensive than it has ever been before.
Portable stone crushers, graders,
ditchers, stone spreaders, wagon load
ers and combina Ion machines that
will save labor in striking ways arc
doing good work in various parts Of
the country. 1t is to the interest
of those intending to build roads to
find out all about these machines.
There is a general awakening in re-
gard the improvement Of good roads,
especially as it Is understood that the
extension of rural free delivery is con
ditional on the success of this move
ment. The Department of Agricultlre
is anxious to extend all the aid in its
power. The people are entitled to such
aid and should avail themselves OF it.

Trade SIanq Wanted.

DR.. Hubert Jansen, the editor Of the
Trilingual Technical Dictionary which
.is being published by the Society OF
German Engineers, has sent out a
batch of circulars relating to the pub
lication. The object IS to bring out
a thoroughly comprehensive vocabu.
larry of technical terms in German,
English and French. Mathematical,
physical and chemical words are to be
included, as if not now of technical
importance they may become so at
any time. Special effort is to be
made to include all trade express
sions used in particular industries,
local dialetical terms and even work
mems slang" names for machines,
etc.. as these often pass in time into
general use. In order to make tn:
dictionary as complete as possible.
collaboration is asked from technical
men, institutions or works. The pub
fishers will supply note books for jot-
ting down technical expressions with
or without their foreign equivalenO
to anyone who is willing to collabor-
ata and these will be collected some
time next year, and collated by the
editor. The editors also ask that cir
culars, price lists, etc., may be sent to
them, as these are fruitful source of
technical expressions.

A TINNY MISTAKE.

Grandpa sat by the table, his razor
in his hand and his looking-glass pop
ned up in front of him. Little Polly
was watching him, half afraid, but
wholly fascinated by the sharp, shin
ing blade.
"Grandpa," she said at last, where
are you going when you are through
shaving?"
"I'm going to marry Mrs. Jaynor,"
answered grandpa, with frown on mis-
face, for he was hurried. He never
thought that Polly might not under
stand. He was justice of the peace
and often married people. He had been
hindered in getting ready, and now he
rushed so fast to get off that he never
looked at Polly's face. Half an hour
after grandma came in from the kitc!l-
en- with a dear little cake.

was not there.
"Polly, Polly" she called, but no lit
tie feet came running. She looked in
