Adxie. From th. Conductor.

A Buffalo woman accepted from
q street car conductor a Mexican
half dollar in change. 1t looks as
if it ought to buy as much as an
American fifty cent piece, but its
actual purchasing power is little
more than 20 cents. The young
woman made point of getting it
back into the Golfers of the street
car company. She rendered it to
the conductor of the next car she
entered. He looked it over and de-
clined it. 'But l got it from one
of your conductors this morning" !"
the woman protested. Madam" "
said the conductor without a sign
of levity, ''you must be more care
full what you take from those con-
ductors."

A Lost Lesson.

The proprietor of an engineering
works in Scotland, according to the
Dundee Advertiser, was watching
the leisurely efforts of an apprentice
who was swinging his hammer IN a
gentle way.
Look here, laddie," he said, 60
ing up to the youth and taking the
hummer from him, ''when | see a
man that takes his hammer by the
end of the shaft and strikes prop
er blow like that l give that man
50 shillings week, but man that
takes it in the middle like this only
gets 25 shillings week and the
sack whenever we get slack. See !"
Hoping he had sufficiently well
driven home his point, he surveyed
the lad more in sorrow than IN an
ger, but the latter requested an eA-
tension of the lesson.

IL Stop. tn. Crying.

To keep babies from crying an
ingenious device is resorted to in
India. The moment child begins
to cry the mother places her hand
over its mouth and nips its nose so
that it cannot breathe. Then it is
allowed to breathe freely again, but
should it make use of the oppor-
tunity to again set up howl it is
at once suppressed in the same way.
This is repeated till the baby i'm
AGNES that the painful stoppage of
the breath is caused by its own eff
fort to scream and so is careful to
keep quiet.

DANIEL DouGHER1Y.
F"N FuoMe Speech Of the "silvsr
Tongued" Orator,


Tonsued" Orator.
Daniel Dougherty may not have
been the original "silver tonpued"
orator, but there never lived man
who was better entitled to the epi-
thet. The other day man who was
warm friend of the eminent Phila-
delphian said: "Dougherty's success |
shows what ambition and persistence
will do, backed by common sense
and some brains. He told me that
he sought for many years an oppor-
tunlty to make speech in public.
He always carried two or three
speeches in his pocket, hoping that
something would turn up to give
him the chance of making an ora
torical display. For many years he
waited, his tongue ever ready to
open up on any subject.
AT last the eventful day arrived.
There was a great convention and
numerous important speakers. Just
about the moment when the second
speaker had finished a rainstorm
came up, and there was a grand rush
from the platform to a neighboring
cafe. Ten thousand farmers, me-
chanlcs, laborers, etc, stood out in
the wet with nobody to talk to them.
The chairman of the meeting was in
despair. Dougherty was in the
crowd. He saw his opportunity. He
rushed to the platform, introduced
himself and asked to be allowed to
hold the audience until the adver-
tised spouters returned. The chair
man was very skittish at first, but
the people were clamoring, and he
finally said in some disgust, ooh,
very well. | don't know who you are
or what you can say, but we don't
want the crowd to go away. See
what You can do
Funny. wasn't it? Before Dan
had said a dozen words the restless
crowd gave him the attentive ear.
Umbrellas were closed. Men on the
outskirts pushed in, and pretty soon
all were standing uncovered in the
rain listening with open mouths to
the enhancing eloquence of the
young Demosthenes. For nearly ar
hour they were spellbound. The
chairman nearly had fit. Hi:
doubts gave place to wonder, his
wonder to interest, his interest ts
the strongest curiosity, his curiosit,
10 unfeigned admiration. The adver
tised speakers slipped back unob
served TO their seats on the platform
and drank in every word Doughert,,
uttered. l tell you he made good

CANTALOUPE
GROWING.
Lawrence County Growers Preparing
for the Coming Season.

LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn, Dec. A.
The meeting of the Cantafoupe Asso-
citation Saturday did not accomplish
anything definite. The day was de-
voted to discussion of some plan of
satisfactorily marketing the product.
The federation plan last year was
warmly criticised. There are large
number who declare that they will
plant cantaloupes only on condition
that they can make arrangements for
buyers to take their stuff and pay for
it when delivered here for shipment.
Many others who realize that the heavy
rain last year was responsible for the
Indifferent quality and consequent low
price of the shipments, will plant and
make the best possible arrangements
for disposing of their product. It is
easy for an observant person who saw
the immense business done here last
year to see how much easier it is to
criticise the promoters than it is to
devise some more effective plan.
The cantalopue must be shipped at
once when ready for market, hence
the absolute necessity, apparently, of
an organized method of distribution.
The last crop, in spite of the fact that
the season was most unfavorable, and
the growers were without experience,
netted large sum, and the yield was,
in many instances, over 800 per acre,
and in few notable cases over 5000
per acre on land that has been selling
for $40 to $40 per acre.

what it will DO about It not even the

One Of the most interesting features
Of today's meeting win be the address
on the question OF good roads, by d.
Ward King, Of Maitland. Mo. Mr..
Kins reached Nashville Monday. For
more than ten years he has been &C
lively engaged in promoting a cam
paign for better roads In his own
State. For the past ave years he has
been employed by the State Board OF
Agriculture of Missouri to lecture
throughout the State in the interest Of
good roads. He has also prepared a
number Of pamphlets on the subject,
which have been distributed by the
thousands to the farmers of that State.
These have been .republished and dis
tributed in other States. One railroad
in the South has published and dis
trfbuted 10000 copies of Mr.. Kings
bulletins Of road making.
Mr. King win tell how to make good
roads at the minimum of COST Con-
sfdering the annual cost to the farm
ers Of Tennessee because of lack Of
good roads, this is a subject that
should appeal more forcibly to the
delegates attending the institute than
any other that will be discussed. Mr..
King is the originator of what he
terms the split log method of road
construction, or what is called by
others the King Drag" The device
is not patented, but on the contrary
it is OF very simple construction, and
Cdn easily NC Ny 41Es
King will tell today just how the
drag is made and the result of years
of experience in using 1t.
Mr.. King said that with his method
of keeping up the roads they
could be kept in first-class condition
at a cost of from % to So per mile
year, whereas under the old method
1t cost from $25 to $40 per mile, and
the same results were not obtained.
Under his method the water never
gets into the top OF the road. The
plan has been tried at the experiment
station at Knoxville with satisfactory
results. Mr.. King stated that some
difficulty had been entertained as to
the feasibility of using his drag or
plan Of road working on the rocky
roads of Middle Tennessee. but he is
confident that he can demonstrate that
this is not an insurmountable obstacle,
and invites anyone to ask questions
regarding the matter that they may
desire.-Nashville American.
