MOTOR WAGONS.

heir Growing Use for Agriculture
and Other Purposes in England.
In many rural districts the agricul.
ural communities are looking to the
rotor wagon as panacea for their
:oubles, and there Is no doubt, where
allway facilities are few or rates high,
nat the motor wagon will enable them

east delay and at low cost, says Cas-
>.er's magazine.
One Of the many projects under con.
Iioeration Is that in Essex. In this
.ase arrangements are being made to
supply London with agricultural pro.
luce by means Of an organization
which is to collect the various goods al

and many other towns. These collect

ments to deal with the produce brought
to them from the surrounding country
by motor or otherwise, and thence II
will be forwarded to London by motor
wagon. A somewhat similar system Of
collection Is meeting with success In
Berkshire.
Another promising outlook for the
industry Is the rumor that colliery own
ers are contemplating a system of d.
rect deliveries Of coal from pit mouth
to consumer by steam lorry. 1t is re-
markable that such system has not
been more In vogue where coal fields
are within easy reach Of Industrial CEN
tiers. as, for example. In Lancashire.
Tie mode Of procedure at present Is for
the colliery owners to load trucks on
the railway, have them hauled from
twenty to twenty-five miles by rail, I'M
loaded to carts and eventually delivered

four days being occupied in this man.

The traveller in far countries does
not need to have been absent from
his native land many months, or in
uncivilized regions, to experience OIL
his return a patriotic exultation of
the heart, frequently accompanied
by lump in the throat, which often
! surprises him. To what heights the
same emotion may rise in wanderers

years Of Inconsistencies two little in
cidents may prove.
An Englishman-a stolid typical
Briton. usually one of the most un-
demonstrative OF men--recevad a

lorn and fever-stricken post In the
African wilderness, after having
lived there seven years. When he
landed on the wharf at Liverpool, his
eyes CHANGED to light first Of all upon
postman In uniform.
Instantly he few at and frantically
embraced the alarmed and indignant
official, who struggled moment vain

lusty yell for help.
A policeman came running to the
spot.

man. "'E's tryin' to kiss me! Take

The policeman tried. But no SOON

cal home-comer than the captive sud
denly released the postman, flung both
arms round his captor's neck and
wept upon his shoulder, at the same
time choking him violently. When
the officer had extricated himself, he
naturally invited the perpetrator Of
this affectionate assault to accompany
him to the police station.

An American returning not long

homeslck, behaved very differently.
He appeared, indeed, quite COM
posed and calm, but was, in fact, in
a kind of rapturous daze in which
nothing seemed real to him, but rather
a happy dream which must presently
be dispelled. Only when his carriage
was halted in a blockade not fur from
the wharf and opposite a vacant lot
where crowd Of young men were
playing ball was he at last awakened
to realities. Then a foul ball crashed
suddenly through the carriage win
dow, showered him with broken glass,
and struck him an agonizing blow on
the elbow. One Of the players came
running to see what injury had been
done.
Are you hurt?" he asked, anxious

two or three threads Of blood trickled

Rich Men Who Know Little Out
side Their own Rut.
l was recently talking with a busi-
ness man who ia in the midst of the
great activities of New York, dresses
well, and lives well, but who, every
time he opens his mouth, condemns
himself, betrays his shocking ignorance
Of almost everything outside of his
own little speciality. He knows almost
nothing about the great men and wo-
men who figure prominently In current
history. He could not even tell the
names of the candidates for the presi-
dency and vice-presidency just before
the last election. He said such things
did not interest him.
1t Is painful to try to carry on q
conversation with such a man. Think
of the splendid opportunities for edu'
cation, enjoyment, and culture which
that man, with thousands Of others, Is
throwing away! 1t does not seem
possible that a man could do business
in New York City and be so ignorant
Of everything outside of his own little
groove.
One would think that some of the
mlllionaires who try to make a show
in the world would feel chagrined
when they contrast their cheap, shod
dy education, their narrow, limited in
telllgence, and their rutty minds, theil
stingy, shriveled souls, with theil
hooking wealth and their display OF
the art works Of the masters and thu

which they cannot read intelligently
How this ostentatious show of the ma

The prince was 90 inslstent that
Rossetti yielded in sheer desperation.

YOUTHFUL ELoPERS.

Clarence Ferguson. aged IS, and
Miss Clyde Lynn, aged 16, both of
jacksonville, started to Springfield
Friday to by married. Mrs. Mr.. R.
Ferguson, the boys mother, tel
ephoned the chief of police here to
arrest the couple at the depot and
stop the elopement.
Officers Broderick and Claxton
threupon met the 5:18 train and told
them they must get off, which they
did quietly.
Chief Roper called up the boys
mother and asked what she wanted
done with them. She said send the
girl to the home of one of her
friends here and tell the boy to come
back home. Both of them laughed
at the idea suggested and said they
intended to marry in spite of all
hindrances. The Chief then corr
suited the girls sister, by phone,
and she said aside from the youth of
the girl there was no especial OBJ
lection.
The young people were then
turned loose and advised to return
home.
Instead of going to Madisonville,
they secured a carriage and taking
a friend and his wife along as chap
erones, drove through to GAINESVILLE,
arriving there at 2:15 p. m. The
party put up at the Fradklin House
and early Saturday morning secured
license and DIR. McFerrin performed
the ceremony that that made them
happy.
The party returned to Hopkins
vile and the bride and groom spent
the day here, returning to Madison
vile on the night train.
