Automobiles and Roads.

While it is generally agreed that the
automobiles are rapidly wearing out
the roads by spiked tires and rapid
running, it is gratifying to know that
some auto owners are willing to do all
they can to aid the road committee on
it's work. Commissioner Hutchinson
and Road Inspector Meeker each have
an auto and the Commissioner insists
that the Road Committee shall have a
machine to save time in going over
roads when he is here on an inspecting
tour. AS the county does not allow
travelling expenses, the road commit
tee would be compelled to pay out
more than they receive but for the
generosity Of their friends. Among
those who furnish machines gratui-
tously are Freeholder Hoffman, the
Salmon brothers, 5ohn H. Capstick
and George Squies.

LOOKING FOR LAPS.
 KILLS 4 RATHER

While hunting for elusive Japanese along the border yesterday afternoon and evening Charles T. Cornell, im- migration inspector, had number of experiences, none the less of which was his capture of the largest rattle snake he has ever personally encount- cred. In addition to this he was
 caught out on the plains in one of the hardest rain and hail storms he
 has ever seen in this section-
 All this occurred in the neighbor- hood of the silica quarry up Osborn way. The rattler was encountered in
 the evening. He was lying stretched out over the ties on the railroad right of-way and ConneIl almost stepped on him before the rattler was noticed. Picking up a large rock that laid
 nearby, the inspector hurled it at the
 snake and caught him on the head, crushing it. A small Mexican boy was with him and they skinned the snake and got twelve rattles of him. Later on the rain came on. Cornell
 was out in the valley with no rain | coat and no shelter near. All he could do was to freeze up as an old mule would do under similar circumstances and take what was coming to him.
 Big hail stones were mixed with the
 rain. The rainfall was so heavy as
 to cover the railroad tracks at several places ernationalAmerican.

OLD TIME CELEBRATIONS.
Happiness the Order of the Day, Tran
 quiIIity of the Night.


 The files of old newspapers are priceless record of the history and manners of their times. InS the papers of 1T9G the accounts of public rejoicings show that these were few fin number and that the method of keeping them differed widely from our ideas of fes- tivities. washington's birthday was perhaps the greatest holiday.
 '.Industrious citizens" we are told, appropriated the hour of noon for the congratulations of the day. Each fam fly enriched the domestic meal with bountiful provisions, and gay spirits and temperate and undissembled joy pervaded all classes"
 There were speeches and processions and illuminations for the less indus trious who were willing to give some thing more than the hour of noon to the celebration, but the most memora- ble observance of the day was that of the Harvard students.
 Saying to each other that it would be disgraceful to pretend to honor Washington with riot and disorder. they feureu to their cndiuOSfs beloEe O o'clock, and by the time tine bells ceased ringing there was not a light to be seen in any of the buildings"
 This is equaled by the summing up of the celebrations of Fourth of July for the same year, day observed with great rejoicings.

POOLING A CAMEL.
How the Arabs Let the Animal Exhaust
 It's Bad Temper.

You all have heard stories about the camel-how patient and useful he is on long, hot journeys. so that he is often called the ship of the desert"
 But he has one very bad fault. He likes to pay back" and if his driver has injured him in any way he will not rest till he has returned the Injury.
 The Arabs. who wander about the deserts and so use the camel great deal, know about this fault of his and have a queer way of keeping them selves from getting hurt
 When a driver has made his camel angry, be first runs away out of sight. Then. choosing place where the camel will soon pass. he throws down some of his clothes and fixes them so that the heap will look like a sleeping man.
 Pretty soon along comes the camel and sees the heap. Thinking to him self, "Now I've got him." he pounces on the clothes. shakes them around and tramples all over them. After Le is tired of this and has turned away the driver can reappear and ride him away without harm.
 Poor silly camel! He has been in what we call "a blind rage" so angry that he can't tell the difference be- tween a man and heap of clothes.- Mayfiower.

A QUAINT DOCUMENT.
Minutes of the First Representative
 Assembly In America.


 Assembly In America.
 The minutes of the first representa- tive assembly in America as written by it's clerk. John Irvine, constitute a quaint and interesting document They are headed:
 "A reporte of the manner of proceed ing in the general assembly eonyented at James City, in Virginia, July 30, 1619, consisting of the governor, the eounsell of estate and two burgesses elected out of cache incorporation and plantation, and being dissolved the 4th of August next ensuing"
 The assembly met in the "quire of the churche." Then, ''forasmuche as mems affaires doe little prosper where Gods service Is neglected. all the bur gesses took their places in the quire till prayer was said by Mir. Bucke, the minister, that it would please God to guide and sanctifie All our proceed ings to his owne glory and the good of this plantation"
 After the prayer the burgesses were summoned one by one to take the oath to the king. none staggering at it"
 The assembly at once set to work to adopt English laws to Virginian cOndi- tons. It added series of trade regu- latIons to restrict the production of to- bacco, to keep up prices and to encour- age the output of flax, silk and wine. Thus before the Pilgrims were think | ing of leaving Holland representative syoN-opn,nant was firmly established in the new world.-Exchange.
