a serious handicap to the latter and
that the possession Of good roads would

to petitions, asking the president and
congress to take some action. He will
reach Washington. D. C., late this year
and will lay his petitions before Presi-

GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT,
generosity That Was Purely the Re.

A missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
MIR. Crawford went to school," he
said, lin Concord, and one day he was
taken to call at Concord clergy
mans.
"The clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands, he amused himself with try.
ing whether silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that gi.
gantic coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
ut was a close fit, but unfortunate.
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was a terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more
when he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap.
