therefore be economical? Think
it over, fellow citizens. Let's
have cheaper fuel.

Why is it that the Road over
seers are not at work on the
roads? Now is the time to do
effective work, and it is the
time that the law requires the
work to be done. We want to
offer a suggestion to each and
every overseer in the county:
If you are not going to dc
your duty, resign your job,
and let the court appoint some
one who will do it. The people
are tired Of paying out their
money and getting nothing in
return for it, and the defaultinp
road overseers will be looked
after it the sitting of the next
grand jury. 1t is plain duty
you owe your own conscience
and the tax payers-Do your
duty or get out.

COOLEY, OLD YEAR.
BY Clifford Kane Stout.

Sy OtiHoFc name Stouc.
Good-by, Old Year, your mission ends
With midnight chimes and all is done,
The records writ with joy or less,
The deeds fulfilled and guerdons won
Are hung as trophies round thy rime,
And thou are named with olden time.
Forevermore ;oh, fateful past, ~
That saw so much no law can Change,
Beginning and the end of things
That were to be, the new and strange,
The old and worn and bloom blight
Passed to the dark or born to light.
And, oil. Tor some happy pear:
Sweet wedding bells rang joyously;
Old friends clasped hands and strangers
met,
And sunshine fell so glad and free
On buoyant youth, and smiles were fair,
And laughter bantered pain and care.
Some tears must fall In every year:
Your portion CAME when grief had set
A badge Of. mourning on the hearts,
or some whose love could not forget,
And hopefully, without dismay.
They covered friends Of yesterday.
Good-by, Old Year: we regret the New,
When we recall your gifts and cost
May then = double portion show
Thy favors won Ger which was lost
Good-by! a hand ct parting; then
Al benedictiou and amen.

Railroads in Spain.

The doors of the third-class cars are
narrow, writes Thornton Oakley in
Harper's Weekly. / remember at
one of the mountain towns how
a fat man kept the train waiting
with his efforts to get out. He was
huge and round, with a red face full
of wrinkles and shining shaven head.
A Maltese cross shone white upon his
brown expanse of cassock. He got
wedged tightly in the door and could
move neither in nor out. His face grew
apoplectic. Precipitation streamed
down his forehead. His hat rolled be-
meath the train. He dropped his bag
upon the platform, and as it fell, it
burst open. Glass crashed; cigars
were scattered all about. As the bell
sounded he began to shout. The guard
came running. The station idlers
crowded up. They tugged at him, pull
ing at his hands, his robe, his fat
striped legs. Over his shoulder within
the car, you could see men pushing
from behind. Suddenly he came
through with a rush, his cassock torn
and flying, his little eyes wide with
fright.
/ looked back as the train moved
off. He was lying back painting on a
bench, his feet spread wide, while a
woman was pouring zorething down
his throat"

Didn't Mind Showing Her Ankle.

Conductor John Gaudam was very
sensitive about his name, and always
insisted hat friends addressing him
hastily should call him john" says
a correspondent. He was one of the
best fellows / ever worked with, but
he was continually getting into hot
water.
ION one Of our trips Gaudam was
passing through a coach when he no.
ticed a woman asleep in a seat. Her
head was on the w~indow-sill, and her
feet extended to the aisle. Her dress
was so badly d~isarranged that her
ankle, and a good portion of an ex-
quisitely fashioned calf were plainly
visible. A number of men a few
seats farther down were contemplat-
ing the Gene with keen enjoyment.
Now, Gaadam was always very
strict, and kept things straight on his
train, and he noticed this. He touched
the woman on the shoulder and woke
her up.
Madam he said. politely; excuse
for disturbing you, but your dress
is SO disarranged that your ankle is
exposed
".Oh, that makes no difference re.
piled the woman, smiling sweetly. It's
nothing but cork.
I'm three seconds Gaudam was in
the baggage car, where he promptly
lost his religion"
