One needs only to travel for few
hours on the country roads at this
season of the year to observe the
beautiful quantity of home-made,-or
rather self-made-high ways. It's
enough to shake ones faith in human
nature TO see how little respect is
paid TO highway laws, which is not so
bad if they are lived up to, and what
a general concerted determination
there seems to be to do as little as
possible toward good roads. There
are sections where these words do
not apply, but it is not putting it too
strong to say that half the the road
work is not honestly done. Any old
kind of material is deemed good
enough to throw into the highway,
and the days of work on the road are
too often days of rest aid social en-
| ioyemnt. The farmers have every
thing to gain by improving the roads
Good highways are even more import
ant than good railways, and if our
highways were even half as good as
those to be found in any of the olden
countries, there is no question that
a great saving would be effected in
time, money and labor-St joke News,

TWO OBLIGINo MEN.
Each Was the victim In n street Car
Fare Transa ction.


1t was in Boston street car. When
the car stopped at crossing, a lady
got up and went to the door. AS she
rose there was the chink OF coin on
the floor, but before ii occurred to any
one to stop her she was out of the car
and across the street Two ladies who
had sat next to her looked with anx-
ious indifference on the floor. One Of
them leaned slightly forward, but said
nothing. Just as the conductor WAS
reaching for the bell rope young man
spied the coin and dashed out of the
car. He caught the lady who had left
the car, handed her the coin, ran back,
caught the step of the car as the mo
tors began to sing in crescendo and sat
down breathless. One OF the two ladies
opposite him leaned forward and said
coldly, Young man, what did you do
with the nickel | dropped?" The pas
sengers Uttered An old man at the
other end of the car turned to his
neighbor That reminds me-" he said.
'of something that happened to my
wife years ago.
at was efore the days of conduct

into slot, and they ran down Il groove
to the box behind the driver.
MY wife had started out with lit

some five dollar goldpieces which used
to be more commonly I'm circulation
than they are now. Her eyes were not
good, and so she was nervous about
her goldpiece and had it on her mind
all the way downtown.
when she took car for home, she
met a friend and grew interested in
conversation with her. She put her
coin in the slot absentmindedly. The
driver turned as IL struck the box. You
remember the coin fell into a glass
compartment first, and then the driver
pushed a lever which sent it into the
strong box below.
"As my wife heard the click of the
lever she thought of her five dollar
goldpiece. She looked In her purse.
Sure enough. II was gone. She went
said he hadn't looked very carefully,
but he thought there were only three
nickels In the glass receptacle when he
pushed the lever.
MY wife insisted. The driver said
IL she would ride to the end OF the line
the cashier at the station would open
the box. This meant journey of two
miles beyond our street, and my wife
was in Il hurry.
"An old gentleman who sat by the
door said he was going to the end Of
the line and offered TO give her $4.05
cents and get the goldpiece at the sta
ton. My wife thanked him and took
the money. When she got home, she
found the five dollar goldpiece in the
lining of her purse.
Next day | went to the station. The
cashier said an old gentleman had made
him open the box. There was no gold
piece. The old gentleman had left I'm
a rage, refusing TO give his name. lie
said he had been swindled and did not
want to be known for fool.
