terest will be the discourse by Rev. Os-
car Haywood, at 7:45 Wednesday even
ing.
Mr.. Haywood is pastor of the First
Baptist church, Waterbury, and so well
attended were his services that it be-
came necessary to hire the opera house
to accommodate the members who
focked to hear him.
Even then the house was packed half
an hour previous to the opening of the
service. =, g ii

holes that brought about stalling-.-
hence the caution in getting over
them. Aristocrats among the wagon
ing fraternity bought bells for their
teams. They were in sets of four,
Ginning we'll together, and swung in
metal frames, fitted to the tops of the
wheelers' names. Whoever drove a
bell-team claimed precedence on the
road, until in some i'll day he found
mud too deep, or a load too heavy,
and so stuck fast. The next WAGNER
pulled him out'--so much was de-
manded by road comfy. In reward
the puller-out claimed and took the
bells, letting his own team exult in
them until the day of downfall dawn
ed for him, as for his road-brother.
Road Wseoners Always Tried to
Travel in Company.
Road wagons commonly travelled
in company-three TO half a dozen.
Whatever the load, ii was packed Sc
curely under the cover, but never quite
as high as the bows. Il freighting
out tobacco. two hogsheads made
load. They lay end to end, snugly
in the bed, with all the space above,
up to the bows, packed tightly with
fodder-the dried blades stripped
from growing corn. Ear-cofn, or oat-
bags huddled down in front. Provis-
ions for men and team were always
furnished by the planter owning the
tobacco hauled. There was a definite
allowance for each fifty miles OF road.
The wagon box always held bacon.
meal, hour, sugar and coffee, with
now and again biscuit and ginger
bread ready baked. But the wagoners
prided themselves not little on their
cookery. Each had skillet, coffee
pot, two pewter or tin cups, besides
hoes for baking corn bread. The
hoes were field implements-the iron
blade, minus handle. In use they
were flung in the campfire and heated
kissing hot, then drawn out by thrust
ing stick within the eye, wiped off,
sprinkled lightly with dry meal, then
covered with other meal mixed to. a
soft dough, and set back upon the
fire. In five minutes or so, the hoe
cake was done upon the under side,
and richly Drowned. 1t was no job at
all to flip it over with knife, and let
the other side also brown-and still
less hard to eat it along with crisp.
fried bacon, sweet potatoes roasted in
the ashes, and black coffee, hot and
strong.
Thirty miles was a fair days jour
ney. That is, if the road ran up hill
and down. Pulling across level, was
slower and harder work.
The Rollers of the Olden Time and
How They Were Made.
But if the wagoners hated the long
levels, the rollers rejoiced in them.
Few folk now living know what roll
Ter was. The reason of its being was
the paucity of wagons, and the costli-
ness of freighting in them. Men with
more time than money would not
think OF paying ten dollars hogshead

over his shoulder. He walked beside
the shaft-horse on the journey out.
There was another horse in front,
sometimes even two, hitched, tandem
wise or abreast, according to number.
Uphill or on levels, the rollers kept
up with the wagoners. Going down
hill they lost out-the wagoners could
let their teams run a bit at the last
length of the slope, whereas the rollers
had to hold back sedulously, in fear OF
bouncing and jouncing out a shaft
pin. Thus they commonly fell a mile
or so behind in the days journey, but
made up for it by pushing on after
dark to reach wagoner's camp. In
moist. miry weather neither wagon
ing nor rolling was any fun. Often
the wagon wheels mired to the hubs.
In such roadstates the rolled hogs
head became viscid earthen cylinder,
needing to be freed of its accumula-
tions about every hundred yards. Not
withstanding, the teamsters kept at

work. The first thing was to cut
down straight grained tree, and hew
from the trunk of it a slab six
inches thick and as wide as possible.
From this slab rounded bits were cut,
in shape like giant felloes, and accur-
ately fitted around each head of the
tobacco hogshead. When the hogs
head. thus encountered, was laid
on its side, it was in effect a
big roller, resting upon thick timber
rims. 1t remained only to cut a hole
in each head, pin on pair of shafts
with stout iron pins, driven deep into
the hard-packed tobacco, join the
shafts with cross-bar some little way
in front of the hogshead, and there
you were, all ready to hitch up.
Like the wagoners, the rollers car
ried their own feed. Two uprights
rising from the cross-bar and shafts
had fodder enough for the horses tied
fast to them, and so arranged as to

Miss Lang Puts Her Foot
DOUn

1t is a very small foot that Miss
LANG puts down, but it means bust
ness. She is the charming and high
spirited little daughter of the new
Chinese Minister at Washington. Her
will is law where her father is con-
cerned, and it must be to any one who
sees her. When she was on her way
to Washington she made a stop of
several days in San Francisco, and
she was besieged with invitations, of
which she accepted very few. Pho
tographers tried every means to gain
her consent to pose for them, but she
positively refused Her father begged
her to grant some of the requests, but
in vain. when she won't she won't"
he said in despair, "and what can ]
do? I don't like to use force" So
the young lady had her way, and it
was a perverse one.
81 can prophesy who the Chinese
Minister will be-" said one disgruntled
pursuer; "she isn't FIVE feet tall. and
she wears a little round black bang
But she's going to run the affairs OF
China in America"

stone. Then there was nothing for
it, but to cut loose and take the back
track-secure that the loads would
stay where they had been left until
the weather changed.
Roller Drivers Ead the Advantage in
the Towns.
Once in the market town, the roller
had his innings. While the wagoners
were painfully gathering up the back
loads that returned the greatest profit
of roadwagoning, and still more pain
fully carrying it, the roller was free and
saucy-able to mount one horse, lead
or drive the others, and go gilpin
home, carrying no greater weight than
the money his tobacco had fetched,
and maybe a few gewgaws for his
womenkind. Commonly he got home
in third of the time it had taken him
to go. Richmond and Petersburg
knew him we'll a hundred or even
eighty years ago. Across the noun
tains he was rarity-tobacco raisers

stamp collectors is now
thing of the past. For long time
persons wishing to buy or exchange
stamps had only to attend the weekly
fair on Thursdays to profit by the
presence of number Of dealers and
amateurs to have their philatelic
tastes gratihed. But the meetings are
now held in what used to be the
Grand Cercle Republican,.
The organizers of the Society Of
Stamp Collectors intend to open
stamp show under state patronage,
with valuable prizes to successful ex-
hibitors. The object of this show is
to draw attention to the desirability
of issuing a more artistic series of
French postage stamps. There will
be a Salon" where the collections of
celebrated collectors will be shown.
Already more than one sovereign has
signifed his consent to exhibit.
The value Of stamp collections in
France is great, and the French people
generally are keen to appreciate this
fact. To own valuable stamps is
sometimes as onerous as to own a
pile of bank notes. Some time ago

an assassin who simply wanted to rob
his victim of his stamp collection.
Last year the purchase and sale OF
stamps in Paris reached the respect
able figure OF 100000 francs.

W. wagon was pivotal
w to inland COM
merce. Especially
in the south country, and, more par
ticularly, in the tobacco-growing re-
gions of it. Tobacco was sent away
in hogsheads - big, stoutly-hooped
casks, packed with from fifteen to
twenty FIVE hundred pounds. Every
considerable tobacco plantation had
It's press-known locally as prize
They cost pretty penny of first out
lay. and were, besides, costly to keep
IN repair. Oxcarts, contrariwise,
which answered admirably for farm
hauling, could be made by the planta-
ton carpenter-that is, except the
wheels, and they were easily got from
the nearest wheelwright. So, when II
came to moving the crop, and bring
ing back equivalents in many man
ners of merchandise, the road wagons
had things pretty much their own
way.
Old-Time Road Wagons Would Look
Odd Nowadays.
Those same road wagons would
seem odd to us now. They had long,
high bodies, sloping up at either end,
and furnished at top with a set of
stout bows, to which the cover, of
the stoutest cotton cloth, was secure
" fastened. There was a feeding
trough across the hinder end; a water
bucket and tar bucket swung amicably
cheek-by-jowl underneath the bed.
Five to six horses drew a wagon
harnessed either two and two, or with
two wheelers, and the three leaders
abreast Some few tcamsters put the
fifth horse out in the lead alone, hitch
ed to long, very stout chain. This wa )
termed fifth chain" However har-
messed, the driver always rode on the
back of the near wheeler, and guided
his team by single rein, running to
the bit of the near leader, or the beast
at the end of the fifth chain. There
was always a wagonboy-to scotch
going uphill, when the team stopped
TO breathe, or else TO lock the wheels
in progress downhill He walked or
rode in the front of the wagonbed at
inclination or the within of the driver.
Every Driver Was a Genuine Artist
in His Way.
The driver himself walked sometimes
in rising steep hill, or pulling across
a mudhole that was very bad Every
WAGNER worth the name was, in his
own way, an artist, delighting to keep
his team in heart and fettle, sleek and
true-pulling, however deep the mud or
mountainous the load. To have a
team .tall-that is, be unable or un-
willing to pull its load, no matter
what the road-was deep disgrace
one that a true WAGNER avoided at
any cost. 1t was the hills and mud
