you hear men talking about what
they would do II they could live their
lives over again" said man who
poses for sage in the hotel where no
lives uptown. Here is an experience
which makes me have doubts on the
subject.
Il went back to the country where
| grew up, and which left forty years
ago. The first thing did after had
to go down to Jim Sims's place.
Jim as the first Scot ever knew.
He was an old seaman. He was the
first man TO introduce the Scotch game
Of Switchboard in the old town. He
taught me the game.
Jim was not at the old place when
went back. He had been dead fifteen
years. However. played shuttle, the
!irst time In many years, and did 9th
er things which go with the game. and
went out of the place. as had gone out
OF II years before.
THE next day went up to the old
court house where the boys used TO
loaf in summer. l clsmbered up into
the cupola and went outside, and look.
ed down upon the old hills and valleys.
And then jerked out my nocket'
knife and cut my name In the wooden
railing. There was time when the
old railing around the cupola was a
sort of city directory. Everybody who
went up there cut his name In the rail
ing.
Not far away was the old hill where
the schoolhouse used to stand. 1t was
gone, but the hill was white with snow
and the boys were coasting as we used
to coast.
II borrowed n sled from youngster,
and lying down belly.buster fashion,
made a trip down the track, as used
to do. 1t shook me up a bit, but did
1t, and. as In other days, narrowly es.
capped colliding with a wagon.
Il went into a store where every one
used to know me. It was arranged
very different from the old store, but
the fever was on me and sat down
on counter.
The foorwalker asked me where !
came from. told him. He said that
nobody ever sat on a counter In these
days.
Wherever went the old desire to
do what had done In the old days
came back upon me. 1t came very
near resulting In my undoing.
II was passing by house where ]
used to 20 counting. The old house
was not changed very much, and the
first thing knew was at the door
pulling the bellknob out of its socket.
A demure woman answered the ring.

Small women are so utterly out Of

Grafton when designing fashions or

There Is no question that the girls
are accomplishing these results by In
Crcasing physical exercise and out

in their height, nexibility of limb and

Society at some resorts Is amusing
itself with bean bag parties. And this
is how they manage one.
At ono end of q hall or vcranda, or
on the lawn, is an inclined board with
II square hole in it. Standing at the
other end the players pitch ten bean
bags toward the hole. A score is kept
and II ten bags fall in the hole It
counts hundred, or ten for each bag.
Another bag. double the usual size,
Is provided, and If this Is also thrown
into the square opening 1t adds TWEEN
", the highest possible score. Should
any of the bags remain on the board
they count five points each, but for ev'
cry bag that is thrown upon or falls To
the floor or ground five points are sub
tracted.
To add to the decorative aspect Ui
the game the bag should be made OF
gayly colored ticking. The big bag is
made of material of different pattern
and contains a pint of beans, the other
bags half the quantity. The board Is OF
plain wood, polished, about 2 feet
wide and feet long and . or 10 inches
high.

Spike one Of the 2 by IL planks to long

other planks on in same way, overlap
ping each other like siding on a house.
Turn over, bore two ive-eighths-lnch
holes 80 inches apart in front plank and
put on two clevises with rings. Attach
chains two feet long for whifietree for
three horses. This planker can be
drawn across a plowed field when dry
while the driver stands astride the mid
die runner. When the ground is rough
and clods are hard, the driver can
change the weight of his body from one
foot to the other, producing a zig-zag
movement, which will add much to the
effectiveness of the work. The clods
will be crushed, greatly reducing evap-
grafton of the stored moisture of the
soil and subsoil. If the soil is inclined
to drift with the wind, plank east and
west and leave three feet implanted at
each passage. This projecting uneven
surface forms a wind and snow break;
and in the spring, If on fall # winter
blowing, the interstices will be found
filled with the drifting soil. Fort the con-
servation Of moisture in the soil, the
planker is better than a much more
costly roller.
When passing from n field to an
other 1t is turned e and drawn on
the runners, otherwise the sharp cor
ners will be worn off. The two by six
notched pieces are sloped off at the front
ends and can be used also to mark of
corn and potato land. When the land
is freshly plowed and moist a spade
should be carried to clean when clogged.
Otherwise it will draw very heavy on the
team.

BRICK TRACK ROADS.
Bureau OfPubIic Road Inquiry CIaimE
Important Advantages for
That System.


The director Of the bureau Of public
road inquiry under the department of
agriculture, after an exhaustive stuc
Of the subject, has come out strongly
in favor of the "brick track road. 1t
is estimated that the roads cost the
people of this country about $3.50, 100000
annually, a good part Of which is sunk
in mud roads with very poor results.
The advantages claimed for the brick
track road are as follows: 1t a be
built far more cheaply than a stone
road; four or five times as heavy a load
can be hauled on it with the same team
force; they can be maintained for about
.one-tenth of the expense for repairs;
they prevent the formation of ruts, dust
and mud, which result from the grind
ing of wagon wheels on stone roads, and
Of mud holes and dust, which occur on
country roads; the material for their
construction is also much more easily
accessible in most parts Of the country
than that for stone roads. The require
ments for a frst-class highway are as
follows: A smooth, non-wearing sur
face for wheels; a firm, non-slipping
footing for horses; low cost for building
and repairs; and absence of dust, mud
and noise. II will be seen that the brick
track road comes nearer fulfilling these
requirements than anything yet in
vented.

POPULAR ENTHUSIAST

ment Cannot ne Secured, says
Col ,. u. Brlghamt,

1oL =. FL. Brigham, assistant secres
tary Of agriculture at Washington. ia
o only a giant In size, but he is a
big man in practical common n
In a recent speech at a good roaSl
convention he said some things that
everybody ought to read. Araons
other good things he said:
see no reaso why the general
government should not appropriate a
certain sum Of money to be expended
In this great work. OF course the
states, counties and local communities
should be expected to cooperate. "a
little aid from the general government
would be a wonderful encouragement
to all the people.
i hear a number OF. speakers here
saying that we must stir up congress.
Now / want to impress you with the
idea that we must first educate the
people, When the people are in favor
Of national aid in building good roads,
congressman win be in favor OF it,
and not until then. They are not go
ing ahead Of the people.
When one Of these great popular
movements gets started, it acquires
wonderful momentum. 1 heard a
story Of two farmers who stood be-
side a railroad for the first time. On
the track stood an engine with a long
train of heavy cars. Said one farmer
to the other: Jim, she'll never be
able to start it, 1t isn't possible
Finally the steam was turned on and,
with much putting, creaking and
grooming, the great train began to
move very slowly, then faster and
faster, until finally with a whirl Of
dust and a rOar like thunder, ii swung
out Of sight around a distant curve.
Then the farmer, drawing a long
breath, remarked: Jim, by the Eter-
nal, they'll never be able to stop it.
So will it be with the good roads
movement. Once let it get thorough
ly started and nothing will be able to
stop 1t, or stand before it, till its
great work is done.
81 see no reason why the general
government should not reach out its
strong arm and help the people of
this country get better means of COM
munication. l want to see this move
ment pushed with all the, energy that
is characteristic Of the American peo-
pie, When we undertake to do my
thing in this country we do it, and do
1t well. We have started out for bet
ter roads, and we are going forward
on this line till we have as good roads
as ear be found anywhere in the
world"
In these remarks Col. Brigham has
sounded the keynote Of the good roads
campaign. The masses of the people
must be aroused and educated. Or.
g~anization is the principal means t
be employed. Conventions should b,
held, and associations should be or
ganized in all sections Of the country
+ Il is not enough to get ont a Grove
Of professional road reformers Z,
make speeches and pass resolutions
The object in view is to interest prac
; teal and progressive men in all walk
Of life, to arouse the Indifferent, Il
convince the directors, and to get VI
, a wave Of popular enthusiasm for bet
ter roads. Until this is done no i'm
