KAMA AND BEL AIR ROAD TO BE PIKED.

A most important step towards the
permanent improvement of the main
thoroughfares of Hartford county was
taken by the Couty Commissioners,
when few days since they signed a con-
tract with Messrs. !. w. Silver and Com
pany for the macadamizing. under State
supervision of the public highway extend
ing from Harkins' store at kalmia to the
town limits of Bel Air, a distance of six
and half miles The contract provides
for the work to be begun at once, and it
has already been under headway for
several days past, and to be completed
by October /, 1903. At present sec.
tions E. and F., beginning at Harkins'
store will be Immediately improved
Specifications call for pike ] 2 feet wide
with a shoulder of six feet on each side
making bed twenty-four feet wide, and
having d slope of three quarters of ar
inch to the foot. The first course Of
stones will be rolled to five inches il
depth and small enough to pass through
three inch ring; the second course will
be three inches thick, with the customa1y J
finish Of fine dust, all thoroughly watereG
and rolled, as our recent modern road:
have been built. A concrete bridge eight
feet high will be erected near the entrance
to Mr.. John b. Wysong's property, thu:
reducing the heavy grades on each sid'
to eight and seven per cent. respectively
Not only is this very desirable road tt
improve because it is one of the maii
arteries Cf the county; but, in view of tn,
fact that practically all of it has at thi
time a solid stone bottom, the work Cal
be done much cheaper than whenit all ha
to be built from the beginning. The con
tractors are bonded by the United State
Fidelity and Guaranty Company for tn
faithful performance of their contract
and every proper precaution has bee
taken to give the county good job unde
the supervision of the State engineer.

to have won the palm:
There was an extremely mean
man in New Hampshire, who was the
proprietor of hotel. BY his direc-

able privilege to those not guests of
the place. There was absolutely no
chance for the casual loafer to get
newspapers. pens, ink, stationery

in the Office.

Financier is Surprised.

Rear Admiral F. W. Dickins told
in Philadelphia the other day a good
story about a very rich and very eco
nomical financier.
The old Gentleman-let us call
him Golde-'he said, was making
preparations for Christmas ball
some years ago and at his wine mer-
chants discovered a cheap brand of
Champagne.
s. That he said, is a good brand
of Champagne. It is quite good
enough for those young people who
will come to my Christmas ball.
They wouldn't know the difference
any way.
And accordingly he ordered a
dozen cases of the cheap wine.
"a day or two befor Christmas,
picking up his newspaper, he noticed
that his wine merchant had a. half
page advertisement. He ran his eye
over it and saw in big black letters
the paragraph:
9 Try our celebrated champagne
at $1.25 quart, as ordered by the
eminent financier, Gobso Code, Esq,
for his forthcoming Christmas ball. "

Mr.. Burke made the request in a

only lasted moment. Then one OF
them in a strong voice took up the
supplication and all finished it,
