Only Changed Her Mind.

After having been absent from her position at Wynne, Ark, for week preparing for her marriage, Miss Lu- cile Douglass has returned to her posi- tfen as stenographer in the office of Ter uncle, W. H. Newson, Wynne. Her uncle is owner of the WSnne Progress and conducts a real estate office, in addition being the county surveyor. This announcement was made from the home of Miss Douglass in Argen- ta. The sensational reports regarding the disan npearance of the young lady on the eve of her marriage to John Wall of Little Rock were greatly de plored by her family and they state that there was nothing more sensation q! ill her departure than change of mind which came two days before the wedding, for which arrangements had been made.

TO REPAIR COUNTY ROADS.
A Missouri Judge Would Use Part of
Road Fund For That Purpose.

The need Of a practical system of
maintenance of macadam roads in
Jackson county, in Missouri, has at
last been recognized by the county
court, says the Kansas City Star
Judge G. Lee Chrisman recently an
nounced that he was in favor of using
a large part of the road fund, now
amounting to $170,402, to maintenance
Of rock roads already built in repair.
AS evidence Of his interest in the
matter Judge Chrisman went out the
other afternoon with Oscar Koehler,
the county surveyor, to inspect several
macadamiZed roads which have been
allowed to become almost impossible
through neglect to keep them in repair
Among the roads to which the atten-
ton Of the county court has been par
ticularly called is SiXty-third street
from the Wornall road to Elmwood.
Sixty-third street is a macadamized
road. There are two deep cuts in it,
and large quantities of shale and soap
stone have blocked it in several places.
Yet Sixty-third street furnishes only
one of several instances where a mac
adam road has become practically USE
less in places through neglect.
The people who are accustomed to
using the macadam roads are insisting
that some action be taken toward the
adoption Of a system for permanent
maintenance.
What is the use of building fine
macadam roads if they are not kept
in repair?' said Jackson county farm
er. ''The county road money coming
from the dramshop fund has been
mostly used in the past for building
new roads Now let the county court
use good part of it for keeping them
in repair"

The ST. Nicholas League competitions
are just six years old this January
From the first the skill and talent
shown in the short stories, poems,
drawings and Photographic work, sub
mitted by the League members, sur
prised everyone. About two thousand
girls and boys, today, are wearing gold
and silver badges, awarded in recogni-
tion of the excellence of their endeavors,
while progressive good work has been
recognized by some two hundred
awards in cash. How really good the
work and the training are, is proved by
the fact that many graduates of the
League today are among the progress
sive magazine writers ao@ illustrators
of the country.
The st. Nicholas League membership
now is close to fifty thousand, with
representatives in every nation of the
world.

HnddOcIx Marks.

Why do haddocks carry those pc
culiar black Finger marks near the
head? Some tell us that they are a
memento of the pressure of st. Peters
fingers when he went fishing for the
tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast
of England they say the devil once de
termined to build bridge at Filey.
His Satanic majesty did not start the
bridge for the convenience Of the PEG
pie, but for the destruction of ships
and sailors and the annoyance of fisher
men In general. In the progress of his
work Old Nick dropped his hammer in
to the sea. Snatching at 1t hastily, he
caught paddock, and all haddocks
carry the imprint Of his black fingers
to fhia day.

REAL GOOD ROAD ADVOCATE
Nevada Mans Plan to Realize n
Dream of BOyhOOd Days.

Nevada Mans Plan to Realize n
Dream of BOyhOOd Days.
John p. Hennessy, a man who has
made a fortune in Tonopah, New, has
given $4,000 to build a good wagon
road from Burnt Ranch, Trinity coun-
ty, Cal, to the mouth of the South
Fork, in Humboldt county, and thus
realizes a dream of his boyhood days,
says the Auto Advocate and Country
Roads. Hennessy was born and reared
at Burnt Ranch, on the lower Trinity
river, settlement that to this day is
reached only by pack trains over rough
mountain trails. He was ten years old
before he ever saw a wagon road, which
was the one which still ends at South
Fork, Humboldt county. To him that
wagon road was then q great wonder,
and he said that when he got to be
rich man he would build the road to
his home at Burnt Ranch.
He repeated the promise frequently
during his youthful career and was al
ways laughed at by his hearers. He is
now a man of great wealth and has re-
turned to Burnt Ranch to visit his par
ents, who still reside in the remote set
tlement. He has since made good his
childish promise, for he has already set
twenty-five men to work building the
wagon road to South Fork. 1t is to be
completed in workmanlike manner
and made first class road on light
grades. 1t is to be free to the public
and monument to Hennessy.
