Dinner at the Mableys was a nova

times not az all unless they went 70
the restaurant around the corner and

This irrerularitv In dining was not
due TO an aversion on the part Of Tie
Mableys TO mothodical habits. on The
contrary they are the most systematic
people alive, and would have preferred
to dine promptly every evening a.
o'clock For many years however, the
accomplishment OF that desire had
been prevented by the vagarles Of
their long succession OF cooks. One
evening when Mr. Mabley came home

A young nurse of my acquaintance
was found early one morning uncon-
sclous on the entry floor Upon inquiry
the doctor learned that from Monday
morning till Thursday night she had
been without sleep or even enough
time off to battle and change her
clothes. OF course she was extremely
foolish to permit such thing on the
patients account as well as her own,
but it was her first private case, and,
feeling shy about obtruding personal
wants In time Of general stress, she
had relied on coffee and determination
to pull her through. The stale Joke,
"Why, do you have to sleep2 I thought
you were trainedH' unfortunately con-
tains not a grain of exaggeration.
have gone to house where after a
days nursing, a night spent In spong-
ing typhoid patient, at 10 o'clock on
the morning Of the second day the
nurse was still in charge. No one had
given her night lunch, breakfast or
even cup of coffee. She had been on
duty for twenty-six straight hours.
working strenuously all the time. Not
a member of the household seemed
equal TO taking her place or indeed
dreamed of the necessity of doing 80.
Later it was rumored that this girl
had become Incorporate Moss

Gus one to Northa mpton people. From
the best information we can get, fully
one-fourth of the school children are
kept away from school on account Of
the bad condition of the roads. Farm
ers cannot haul the products of their
farms to market, and many Industrial
enterprises have had to suspend work,
throwing a number of men out of en-
ployment at a time when they most
| need to work. Not only this, but at
tendance of the churches on Sundays
cause, to say nothing of the damage
to vehicles and the great hardship and
cruelty to the horses and mules COM
PEELED to draw loads over such roads,"
From the Pittsburg Kansan: 1.-THE
farmers have been unable to market
their products, the coal haulers have
had terrible time getting over the
and the consumers are paying for the
poor roads which checker this coun-
try"
From the Nashville Crenn) Ameri-
can: bad roads? Well, Humphreys
county has more than her share of
them just now. In some places. espe-
clally in Big Bottom, along and near
the Duck and Tennessee rivers, 1t is
almost impossible for people to travel
In buggies or wagons. 1t takes four
mules most of the time to pull two
mule load of anything. Thousands of
barrels of corn and sacks of peanuts
are yet to be hauled to the river and
railroads besides thousands of logs,
cross ties and stave timber that can't
be marketed because of the wretched
condition of the public highways"
From the Easton (A1d) Democrat:
Last week a prominent farmer was
met hauling half cord of wood with
four horses, and when asked why he
| trudged along in the mud said he was
afraid to ride on the wagon for fear
his team might be mired. 1t cost that
farmer more TO deliver that load Of
wood than it was worth. and the haul
was over leading thoroughfare of the
county and not upon side road used
by n few people"
That this need not be the case is
shown by the following reference to a
New Jersey road in Lippincott's Maya
zine: Formerly 1t took wagon weigh
ing 1900 pounds, with four horses and
two men, to haul two and half tons
of produce to market from Camden
county farm and bring back load Of
fertilizer of the same weight, and then
they were whole day doing 1t. Often
enough the wagon got mired, and then
it took more than a day. Over one of
the new roads 1t now takes only one
man, two horses and a wagon weigh
ing $500 pounds to carry load of
four tons to market and bring another
load OF the same weight back, and the
round trip is made In half a day"

A National boulevard.

A project has been started in Wash
ington for the construction Of boule-
ward to extend from the Atlantic to
the Pacific ocean. 1t is proposed to
have this great highway under the
control Of the United States govern
ment, the funds for its construction to
be appropriated by congress and by
the legislatures of the states through
which 1t will pass. says the Kansas
City Times. The expense Of keeping
1t in repair is to be derived from toll
collected from vehicles using it. The
projectors say they can convince con-
gress that great macadamized high
way would be of immense benefit to
the country at large and the govern
ment. The route suggested Is from
New York city to San Francisco. and
the road is to be SO well built that the
fieetest automobile can make its high
est speed over 1t.

nIanicurIng In Public Places,

Cleanliness may be next to godliness,
but the persons who manicure their
nails in the elevated trains and street
cars win their way TO paradise at the
cost of endangering the salvation Of
others. Hundreds who wish to make a
presentable appearance at their offices
and places of business use the cars OF
the elevated and surface systems as
places in which to complete their toll
lets.
A man will pull knife from his

personal neatness. He wonders why
many persons glare at him from over

THE KNOCK OUT BLOW.
Effects Produced by the Pugilistie
jolt on the jaw.

Effects Produced by the Pugilistio
jolt on the jaw.
All boxers know the knock out blow
on the point of the jaw, and not a few
have lively reeollections OF what It
feels like, but probably not one in a
hundred has any idea why the trick
has such effective and to the performer
valuable results. The generally accept
ed theory was that the impact travelled
direct through the socket of the jaw to
the bony envelope of the brain, which
was stunned by the shock, but Mr.. j.
G.. Duncanson, writing In the British
Medical Journal, suggests another rea-
son.
In the ear Is Il set of canals filled
with fluid and lined with q delicate ar
rangement of nerves. The action set up
by the mo- lon of this fluid on the
nerves plays an all important part In
the process of balancing the body. A
sudden and violent rotation of the head
produces a correspondingly violent mo-
ton of the fluid. The knock out blow
planted little to one side OF the jaw
In somewhat slantlng direction causes
just such a rotation, the muscles which
regulate the turning of the head being
comparatively weak, and the result is
q complete loss of the power of balance
and generally Of consciousness also.

Water and narrow tires aid one an
other in destroying the roads. while, on
the other hand, wide tires are road
makers. They roll and harden the sur
face, and every loaded wagon becomes
In effect road roller. The difference
in the action of narrow tire and a
wide one is about the same as the dit
ference between crowbar and a lamp,
er-the one tears up; the other packs
down. By using wide tires the cost and
labor of keeping roads In repair are
greatly reduced. Therefore II you want
good roads, either Of dirt or stone, use
wide tires and induce all your neigh
bors to do likewise.

THE BAD ROADS TAX
LOSS TO COMMUNITIES BuRDENED
WITH POOR HIGHWAYS.

Stories of Hardship From Localities
Where Bad Roads Exist-Highway
Improvement In the State of New
Jersey.
According to Hon. Martin Dodge, d.
rector of the Office Of road inquiry, our
poor roads cost us 5000, 100000 annual
ly, or So a year for every man, woman
and child in the United States. None
can dodge this terrible tax, as it is col
lected automatically through the in
creased price of all the necessaries as
well as the Injuries of life on every
thing, In fact, that in crude or finished
form is hauled over the roads or
through them, as is more apt TO be the
case at this season. From all over the
country come stories of hardship and
wasted effort, says Good Roads Maya
zine, from which we Gull the following
examples:
From the Mount Airy On. CO. News:
