Tale did not Impress Him.

Major General OTIS" says the
Philadelphia Times, twas present at
a recent gathering where a young
mar who had seen some little service
in the Porto Rican skirmishes Of 1898
was fiuttering the groundlings with
tales of horror and heroism in that
campaign, which he pictured on a
scale so large that Waterloo seemed
a small affair by comparison. The
young man was fond of an audience,
and seemed to resent the ill-concealed
impotence manifested by the general
during his descriptions. Finally Otis
interrupted with: Young man, you
probably have not heard the story of
the victim of the Johnstown food Of
1889, who, when he reached Paradise,
assembled cloud that served within
the pearly gates as rostrum and un-
dertook to thrill his new made ac-
Quaintances among the shades with
an account of the disaster through
which he had passed. He was inter
rupted by a gray bearded old man in
the group. "A mere bucketful-a
mere bucketful!" the old man piped
Don't waste so much time talking of
small affair like that" The Johns
town man resented this, and hunted
up st. Peter, of whom he asked:
"Who is that old codger who seems to
think our flood such a trifling mat
ter?" "That" said st. Peter. why,
that's Noah"'"

A Far Superior Article.

In London recently an American.
boasting of the superiority of his coun-
try, was interrupted by an Englishman
who said:
There's one thing in which this
country surpasses America. You never
saw on the other side of the Atlantic
any fog that could match the one
which hangs over London tonight"
Fog! Fog!" came the unhesitat-
ing reply of the irate American. why,
this is nothing compared with some of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor. Sometimes the fog is SO thick
around there that it's common thing
for the captains of the ferry boats to
put on extra crews simply to pump
the fog out of the cabins. Why, there
is a corporation organizing in New
Jersey right now to can American fog
ard supply the British people with
the real thing"

TURKS UNIQUE INSURANCE.
Far.Seeing Wisdom Displayed by Dis.

A Turks definition of life insurance
Is remarkably good. One man was
complaining that he had insured
twenty years before in a mutual bene-
fit company, which promised all sorts
of things, and now the time was ur
he received less than he would have
done If he had invested his money
elsewhere. A wise Turk, who was sit
ting close by, said it reminded him of
a camel belonging to friend of his,
says the London Telegraph. It was a
most intelligent brute, and the owner
was convinced that If he found real
ly good teacher it could be taught to
talk. Presently a Hodga appeared who
said he was of the same opinion, and
would teach it, but it would take a
long time, probably thirty years. The
owner was delighted, and agreed to
pay the Hodga fixed sum per annum
and a big bonus when the animal
talked, the Hodga promising to pay a
heavy fine if it did not. A friend after
ward went to the Hodga and said:
What on earth induced you to make
that agreement? You know you can
never teach the camel to talk" oh"

THE NARROW TIRE EVIL.
Good Roads Spoiled and Cost OF
maintenance Increased.

Good Roads Spoiled and Cost OF
Maintenance Increased.
It is worse than useless to build good
roads only to have them cut TO pieces
by the use of narrow tires in hauling
heavy loads. Wide tires help to pre-
serve ordinary dirt roads and are there
fore Of the greatest value to them.
TO change at once to wide tires
would 10 doubt be a hardship on some
owners Of vehicles, says Good Roads
Magazine, but this is point that can
be worked out and adjusted so that the
expense will not be burdensome. We
hicle owners should be educated to see
that it is to their interests to have
wide tires, as the use Of them makes
fewer repairs necessary, thus reducing
the expense Of maintenance. and be-
sides enables larger loads to be hauled
with the same number of horses.
Every state should pass law max
ing wide tires compulsory. In France
and other parts of Europe tires as
wide as six inches are in use, and as
the front axle is shorter than the rear
the load passing over the road gives
twenty-four inches Of road roller sur
face all the time.
Let us have agitation on the subject
and legislation will follow.
