corner on the veranda Of the Seaside
hotel.
Penelope was young and pretty No
| level-headed person would ever have
thought Of making an assertion that,

as contradictory to such plausible
facts And every man at the hotel
was heels over head in love with her
After having reached this important
matrimonial decision, she charged
along the piazza, so wrapt in her eOgi-
tatiOns that at a sharp turn she
bumped, with considerable violence,
into Tom Hathaway.
'Oh!" she gasped, Il beg your par

''Oh, Toni" screamed Penslope.
Whatever is the matter?"
Tom had jumped to his feet and
was wildly grabbing at his mouth and
choking. He had planted a passion

in his excitement, he had pressed in
to her hand

came running out Of the club house
Il guess Tom has some sand in
his mouth, said Penelope.
Good" said Bob; its good for his
digestion But how on earth"
He stopped short Neither Of his
listeners was in a condition TO utter
an Ineligible answer Tom made
a break for the pump, and Penelope
was sitting on the ground, sObb1ng
with laughter.

BURDEN OF BAD ROADS.
Vast Expense They Annually Place
on the Farmer.

on the Farmer.
In a country as large as that in
which we live, with the greater part OF
its producing regions widely separated
from the markets which they serve,
the matter Of transportation is one Of
vast Importance, writes Hon. Martin
Dodge in Forum. This applies particu-
larly to our agricultural products; for,
while a great portion both Of our mall
ufactured output and Of our farm
growth must be moved long distances
by rail or water before reaching mar
ket, practically all Of the latter must
also be transported for greater or less
| distances over the public highways.
The question of marketing these agri-
cultural products, amounting in the
United States to $1,0OO,O00,00O annual
", Oh terms that the dealer can afford
to pay and the grower to accept, often
| reduces itself to a question of cheap
and quick delivery; in other words, to
| question Of economical transporta-
| ton.
AS far as the railways and steamship
lines are concerned, this problem has
been dealt with very intelligently and
satisfactorily. Skill and money have
been applied without stint to the pro-
vision Of enlarged means Of convey
ance, improved ways and increased
power. These influences, under the
stress of strong competition, have re-
duced long distance freight rates to
reasonable level.
There is one phase of this transporta-
ton problem, however, which has ap-
preached no satisfactory solution. That
Is the matter Of wagon road haul. AS
has already been said, while the great
er part Of our farm products travels by
steamship, canal or railway for a por-
ton Of the journey to market, virtually
all of them are conveyed for some dis
tance over the public highways. 1t Is
unfortunate that this is often the most
expensive part Of their journey. 1t has
been shown by mathematical demon
stration that 1t costs more to move
VI "uSdI Va q Ioh VI Aoy eSA
miles over the average country roads
of the United States than to transport
the same burden 500 miles by railway
or 1000 miles by steamship. 1t has
happened many times in different parts
Of the country that farmers have let
crops go to waste because the cost Of
hauling them to the nearest market or
railway shipping point over wretched
