Grand Trunk road. Let me explain its
nature, though one cannot do so by
comparison, for there Is no road of FIVE
miles In England that is anything like
It. 1t is level. Indeed, there is not
above a mile the whole distance where
even a lady need dismount to walk.
The material with which 1t is made is
called bunker, and if you care to turn
that word into concrete you have an
idea of what it is like. 1t is exceeding
" hard and as smooth as "a prepared
pavement. There is no dust. When ].

Logic of the Man Who Fiddled In the
Midst of Flood.
When Davy Crockett was on his way
from his Tennessee home to Texas to
fight for the new republic he rode over
land with some chance friends from
Little Rock to Fulton. One day they
were startled by hearing the high notes
Of a distant violin playing rollicking
air. Putting spurs to their horses, the
men FASTENED toward the sound and
soon observed several others running
through the fields In the same direc-
ton. AT last they came over the crest
of a ridge in view of the river and be-
held the fiddler seated in the middle
Of the flood in an almost submerged
buggy playing as fast as he could
shake the bow. 5s,=
Hello, there! Turn backw shouted
the men who came through the field.
81 can't" replied the fiddler.
"But you've missed the ford. You'll
drown!,
"I'ye known that for half an hour
What are you going to do II
sSit here till you chaps come out and
turn my horse the right way
The horse was with difficulty keeping
his footing and seemed about to be
swept away. One Of the men who had
been attracted by the f1ddling waded
out and by a precarious way reached
the horses head and led him round to
the ford and back to the bank, the pas
senger fddling all the way and wind
ing up with a merry jig.
hat do you mean by sitting out
there fddling in the face Of death?"
demanded Crockett Of the rescued
stranger

found I had missed the ford and
needed help, / set Sout to get it. 7
might have shouted myself hoarse and
no one out here would have paid the
slightest attention to me. But there
isn't man west Of the Mississippi
who wouldn't come running at the
sound Of a fiddle in the woods
And he was right" said Davy, for
there we were, the lot OF MS, our horses
all Of a lather, for running to satisfy,
our curiosity about that squeaking i'd
die in this out Of the way place. -.

down to the time of man himself. a
large and powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaneously with the
hairy mammoth, as evidenced by the
commingling of their skeletons. There
can be little or no question but that
the hairy mammoth was contempora-
neous with man in North n america
as well as In Europe. Its geological
range is from the close of the eocene
to the latter part Of the pleistocene.
" The chief popularity Of the animal
is the extraord binary elongated canine
teeth. The tail is of unusual length
and the legs are short. The animal
measures about seven feet In length
aside from the tail The lower jaws
have q downward projection in front,
due to fangelike widening Of the
jaw bones, which doubtless served as a
protection to the teeth, preventing their
injury or loss. In some Of the larger
forms from South America this aange
was not present, while the canine
teeth We're even more elongated than

length Of over six inches and pro.
