HE HELPS A PRISONER.

Bring in the hoboes!" was the or
der, and Policeman Flynn knew that
that meant to round up all Migrants
The department had been severely
scored because of the increase in the
number of petty thefts.
Now, the term "vagrant'' is compre-
hensive in its meaning, and may be
| made to include many different kinds
| of people. Anyone who has no visible
means of support and no place to sleep
comes under that general classical
ton. Whether he is anxious to steal or
anxious to work is quite immaterial;
| ii he has no job and no home and no
money, he is a vagrant, and his inten-
lions count for little or nothing. A
man of Policeman Flynn's judgment
| would like to discriminate OCCASION
ally, but, under such an order as had
| been given, a conscientious officer has
no chance. So, when he saw the man
| ager of small manufacturing estab-
| lishment on his beat holding a shabby
looking fellow by the collar, he knew
that the time had come Tor him to act.

reply. This is the second morning

Why, look at him! Do you think he
really wants a job? It's only an ex-
:use.'

ton of Policeman Flynn. ITO LUX at

"Where d. We live?"
"Anywhere,' sullenly answered the

The man gave him an address, but

On the way to the station the man

FOR GOOD ROADS,
What Pennsylvania Is Doing to I'm.
prove Her Highways.

Pennsylvania thinks it has the most
liberal good roads law in the country
and thinks it is doing more to make
good roads than any other state in the
union. The law, which was passed in
1905, runs for five years and appro.
PIRATES total for the states share
in making good roads, $6,356,232
Nearly 100000 was expended for
the fiscal year of 1905 and for the
years 1906-'07, each, $1,250,00O is set
aside. For the next two years the an.
nual expenditure will be $1,500,O0O
This represents three-fourths of the
sum expended. OF the remainder the
county pays one-eighth and the town
ship one-eighth. The roads must be
permanent and the standard In very
high. There is state department. Of
highways, and when the state first be-.
gan this system that department COM
planned that the counties and town.
ships refused to do, or were very slow
in doing their part. But the small
beginning won for itself, and now the
local bodies are most eager for the
work, making greater demands than
the appropriation can meet The
amount of work already applied for
by the counties outruns the state ap-
preparation by millions of dollars. In
other words, the farmers, seeing what
good roads mean to them, are eager to
pay their part where the state helps
so literally. In 48 of the Sc counties
the entire amount allotted has been
absorbed. Chester county, for exam
pie, has made II miles of road and
has applied for 10 miles more, which
exhausts it's share of the state aid.
But it has additionally applied for
229 miles more. Altogether the state
is so pleased with the good roads ex-
pertinent that it is believed the legis-
lature will enlarge the appropriation.
The state treasury has large surplus,
and it is proposed to exhaust it in Civ
ing the state GOOD roads,

BAN PLACED ON FIRST WIVES
Short Girl Hates the Subject After Her
Experiences.

Nothing makes me feel quite so
silly said the short girl, "as to be
told by some man that look like his
first wife. I never know what to say.
On the first occasion of that kind l
asked if the dear departed was good
looking.
No. said the man candidly, she
wasn't, but she was good cook. She
could mash potatoes better than any
body I ever saw.
"The next time I tried the sympa-
thetic racket. 1T is too bad you lost
her. I sighed.
"'Oh, said he, you needn't take it so
hard. I don't. The othe: fellow can
worry along with her good deal bet
than I could, so we are satisfied all
round
"The third man, in reply to my COM
passionate murmurs, responded heart
lessly. She was all right She had
nine sisters, all beauties, but chose
the plain one of the family, and 1
never regretted my choice
"And so it goes. No matter what
say do not seem to strike the right
key. There must be some appropriate
answer for sentimental compliments
of the kind, and before I have further
need of it wish somebody would tell
me what it is.''-N. Y. Sun.

Pattern No. 5643.-'This dainty lin
gerie blouse is one Of the most atrac-
tive of the season. The style is gener-
ally becoming, but particularly so to
the slender woman, as the deep pleat
at the shoulder gives width to the fig

front. The arrangement of the tucks
in vest effect leaves space in front,
thus affording fine opportunity for a
bit OF handWork, or a pretty design in

FARM BITS.

In Germany 1917 per cent. of all the
land cultivated is planted to potatoes.
This is for human food, stock feeding
and alcohol making.
Take advantage of rainy days and
mend some of the harness. 1t is not
safe to allow the harness to get weak.
The springs are low now. Good
time to dig them out and make them
larger and better. Stone them up, too,
and put a good cover over them. I

been drowned in open springs.

you go out driving. 1t makes the wife

to be nailed up in the right place in
