A clergyman in New jersey hired a man
to act in the capacity OF eoachman and
gardener. One day the clergyman bought
a bottle of horse ointment, and told the
man to apply it to a lame horse according
to the directions on the bottle.
About an hour afterward he went to
the barn, and found Silas industriously dip.
ping a spike into the liniment and then
rubbing it against the horses leg.
What are you doing that for:" he
asked.
The man looked up with a smile of assur
.ance.
Because said ne, "'twas what it said
in the directions on the bottle; but it's
low work"
You must have made a mistake" said
the minister.
Il have not" answered the man, in an ag-
lgrieved tone. 1T says here on the bottle:

A Fool And HIS Money.

People who 60 off half-cocked
often make very great fools of
themselves and realize the fact,
to their modification, when it IS
too late. When it was telegraph
ed abroad, week or two ago,
that a white cham mbermaid had
been discharged from hotel in
indianapolis for refusing to make
up a bed in which Booker L.
Washington had slept, citizens of
various towns in the South, in a
burst of admiration, subscribed
money TO a fund as testimonial
to her stand in behalf of white
supremacy, until the collection
amounted to about S25,O 1t
is not necessary to advert TO the
fact that Mrs. Hadiey (that is the
name of the chambermaid) has
since been robbed of good por.
tion of her money, but it is inter-
esting to know that she is 4 di-
vorccc whose ex-husband gives
her no good "kerccter, " and that
the story is that she offered no
objection to making up Washing
tons bed until he had been in the
hotel day but, being reprimand-
ed by the house keeper for some
other cause she quit and gave this
as her reason. While it is true
that the Lord loves cheerful
glver, it is also true-as tie Sun
day school scholar said when he
dropped his Brownie in the mis-
sionary box-that a fool and his
money are soon parted. Char

it Is being attacked

Although it Is being attacked
from theoretical standpoint as
non democratic, ETC., we are un-
able to find any fault with Sena
tor Latimer's good roads idea,
except that il will necessarily be
long time before there can be
reasonable hope of seeing it put
into execution. The principle of
Federal aid to public roads is
identical with the principle of
Federal improvement of naviga-
bic streams. There is nothing
undemocratic about it. If the
principle is undemocratic then it
would follow that roads should be
improved by Individual effort only
that the man who wants Il good
road to travel over, should put it
in condition himself. But as we
have taken occasion to say before,
do not let us content ourselves
with the hope of eventual Federal
aid. If we do the roads are like
ly to become great deal rougher
and muddier than they now are.
We should do our full share Of
work in the meantime, and we
will be better prepared 90 take
advantage of such Federal aid as
may be offered in the future. -
