the late summer Of 1852. It became
necessary to cross large farm In the

more men in the construction gag
and In = day or two the patch wss
melonless.
Mrs. Dineen complained to Gould.
but he disclaimed any responsibility
for the acts Of the workmen and ~
fused to recompense her for her loss.
A day or two later Mr.. Gould and
one or two Of his engineers were OF

WHAT GOOD ROADS COST.
Yorkshire (Enoland) Paid $s1o, 900 for
Repairs Last Year.

Interesting facts as to the cost OF
main road maintenance In the county
Of Yorkshire. England. are sent by
Consul Walter c. Hamm Of Hull.
The roads were well constructed orig.
inally and are well cared for now.
1t Is rare sight to see rutty or
muddy country road in the neighbor
hood. Most all OF them are macad
amized. well drained and kept in good
repair Al a consequence one horse
can draw = load which would require
two or three horses over the usual
country road In America. There are
about 100 miles Of road in the
county. and the cost OF the roads has
increased from 3734.OO0 in 1895 to
$4,000 In 1906. and the cost per mile
from 1854 to 1892 In the same pc
riod. There is a constant tendency
to Increase In the cost Of maintenance,
but this increase is. In part, account.
ed for by the construction Of foot.
paths and the placing Of granite
sets" to protect the roads from In.
jury by trolley lines.

Entering bis humble home, the man

that the tabled fowl was sweating at

he was poor man. who had already
much ado to make both ends meet.
Indeed. his hair rose on end and his
voice all but stuck In his jaws. What
