Of the guests a deaf mute gentleman

Is also deaf mute, and it was evident
that she took the mishap in rather
irritable way. She wrinkled up her
forehead and at once made a series Of
remarkably swift movements with her
nimble fingers The husband, looking

motions in return.
One Of the guests, who had noticed
this little byplay, slyly slipped out
bit of paper and, penciling something

what the latter read:

Oil for Country Roads.

William Rockefener. who owns a
half dozen large automobiles and tour
ing cars. is showing great interest in
the Improvement of the highways in
the towns along the Hudson. His lat
est proposition to the local authorities
is to sprinkle the Albany post road
and other thoroughfares near his
home at Tarrytown with crude oil.
Mr.. Rockefeller believes the oil will
lay the dust during the summer and
harden the roads until they will re
semble macadam. Ii the highway au
thorities adopt the suggestion, Mr..
Rockefeller will supply oil free of
charge to the towns, from the cars of
the Standard OIL COMPANY. The au

and probably give it a trial this

HEADLIGHTS OF MOTOR CARS.
Journal Complains That Illumination
Is Overdone

Is not the binding glare OF the now
huge searchlights with which the
heavy touring cars are equipped far
more dangerous than the absence of
light? asks the Motor World. True
enough. speed requires that the road
be seen for quite length ahead in
order to insure safety, but night
speeding over unknown. or over well
known roads for that matter, is not a
particularly safe practice under any
circumstances.
What is it to become when every
thing on the road moving in the oppo-
site direction is to be rendered help
less by the sudden flashing of an over
powering glare in the eyes and left to
founder, blind and bewildered, in mid
road during the moments of the cars
approach? By actual count many of
the powerful cars now carry no less
than six lamps, two oil headlights,
tail light ditto. a pair of acetylene
headlights of no mean illuminative
power, and. to top of all. a hand-con-
trolled searchlight that would do credit

Tombstone, Arizona. Well Named.

The people familiar with the history
OF Tombstone. Ariz., are inclined to
believe that there is something in a
name. Tombstone in 1878 became the
center OF attraction in Arizona to the
pioneer prospectors when the first
mines were opened up at that point.
The population quickly increased to
over 5000 and it became the center
of mining activity in the Southwest.
The last census gave the population
as 400 The mines are worked out
and the population has drifted away
to more prosperous camps Therefore
the town has indeed come to merit its
name, for ii marks the burial spot
of many blasted hopes.
Many another Western mining town
has had the same history. though few
have so aptly told it to the world In
their titles.
