GRADING a Roadbed.

It IS simply extraordinary the lack
of judgment shown by many who IN
dertake to shape a roadbed. The road
allowance in various states covers
sixty-six feet. In rounding up the
roadbed the earth is sometimes moved
toward the certer from nearly the en-
tire distance Of the width Of the road.
This means that the bitches for carry
ing away the water are not distant
from the fences that hedge in the
highway. The rcadbed is entirely too
wide, says the American Agricultur-
list. 1t cannot be sufficiently round
ed toward the center, and as a result
water does not run off with sufficient
quickness. The temptation to spoil
roads by grading them thus is all the
stronger since road graders have come
into use. This result follows from the
comparative quickness with which the
earth can be moved by these ma
chimes. A distance of forty-two to for
ty-hve feet between the outer edges Of
the bitches furnishes roadbed sufii.

TYPICAL CLAY ROAD BEFORE IMPROVE
MENT.
alone never makes a good read except
in wet The more the drainage of
sand road is improved the more de-
plorable becomes its condition. Moth
ing will ruin one quicker than to dig
ditch on each side and drain all the
water away. The best way, therefore,
to make such road firm is to keep it
constantly Camp. This can be done by
planting shade trees along its sides
to prevent the evaporation Of water
or by growing upon the surface of
such sand roads a thick turf, prefer
ably Bermuda grass. Roads running
through loose sand may be improved
by mixing clay with the sand and
slightly browning the surface.
For the temporary Improvement of
earth or sand roads any strong fibrous
substance, especially If 1t holds mois-
ture, such as refuse Of sugar cane or
sorghum and even common straw,
fax, swamp grass or pine needles, will
be useful. Spent tan bark is some
times beneficial, and wood fiber In any
form is excellent. Enough sand or
earth should be thrown over such
roads to keep them damp and protect
them from catching fire.,
Earth is composed of small. irregu-
lar fragments which touch each other
at points, leaving voids between.
When the earth Is broken up and pull
verified these voids are almost equal
in volume to the solid particles, and
as a result the earth will absorb al
most an equal volume Of water. In
the building or maintaining of earth
roads it is therefore very desirable
lthat these small, irregular particles be
pressed and packed into as small
space as possible in order that sur
plus water may not pass in and de
stroy the stability of the road. TO
this end rolling is very beneficial. The
work Of maintaining dirt roads will be
much increased by lack Of care In
properly rolling the surface.

THE SHOW

walked her up. Poor EIsiel She had
nothing to do but follow, but y by should
the man say 'carriage"9 She only
lived a square away. When she got
outside she was very much frightened to
fiud it dark and the moon shining
bright. She was hurried into the
carriage, AMI sat next TO the lady whom
the man called Beatrice and whom she
met in the dressing As she
passed by her house ans went on and
did not stop, she was frightened and be.
gan to realize she was hungry and tired.
Elsie dared not let Beatrice see her cry.
SO she hid her face and cried to herself.
After while they resched the railroad
station and were piled into Goa h.
She was told 10 undress, and Beatrice
p oduced an old dirtv night-gown which
Elsie put on. The next thing she knew
she was humping along in a sleeper and
the sun was just beginning to rise.
Mean while at home they did not miss
her Ii at supper "Where is Elsie,
Clara?' asked Mrs. Thomas when she
came in.
Upstairs, think, ma am"
They both went upstairs, but not find
ing Elsie, Mrs. Thomas grew worried
"She was up here asleep on the bed,
ma am, when 1 went downstairs. She
coulden't have gotten out; all the doors
were locked and l was in the kitchen
talking to Lizzie and am sure she did
not come out. And then poor Clara
began to cry.
"Oh, never mind, Clara, we will find
her soon," said Mrs. Thomas cheerfully,
altho she was very much frightened her
self.
They hunted around and at last went
downstairs.
"Oh, | wish you would look, Mrs
Thomas!" And there was the window
open and the chair just as she had left
it. 1t had told the tale. Mrs. Thomas
grew white; then she tainted. Poor
Clara telephoned to Mr.. Thomas'and he
made Investigations and at last foun 4

"And may go too" cried tiny voice
from within tiny little person of three.
"No, Elsie, you will be ishtened at

the one in the parade and you know
how they frightened you.no, darling it
is best for you to stay and let brother

popcorn and red balloon" said Mrs.
Thomas, her mother.
So it was that Cecil Thomas with
some other boy friends at half-past one
put out for the dog and pony show.
Mrs. Thomas wishing to go to see a
very dear friend who was sick, left soon
after nner, leaving little Elsie TO take
her afternoon nap alone except for

whined getting off the bed. She stopped
short. Yes, she could 80 to the show
and Clara wolldu't know, yes, she
would 60 and see the pretty ponies. She
got her hat and went to the font door
and it was locked, AMI she couldn't
push it open. Her lit face clouded
then it frightened as if by msgic. She
went softly upstairs, got little chair
and went down again to the diningroom
window which was open. She let down
the chair, then putting her feet first,
Ian ded on the chair, then jumped to the
ground. She ran along the pavement
singing like a little bird, thinking Of
the little monkeys and ponies she had
seen in the parade. Therel What was
that 1t was the band, and there was
the top Of the tent. She hurried on.

was evidently busy for he did not notice

looked carefully at them all and talked

She did not know which way to go
She turned but the wrong way. She
passed through an opening of the tept
and found herself in a place where
trunks aud pink tights and spangled
garments lay around. A trapeze girl
entered and started in surprise
"And how did you like the show, my
little one?" she said
"Oh, very much" she said altho she
hadn't seen it at all, only the animals.
The girl changed her present dress tc
a shabby skirt and waist and went out.
Elsie liked this pretty lady somehow
altho she could not just tell why. She
examined the spangles OH the waist and
things of interest till she grew tired, and
seeing a pile of dirty rags behind a
trunk, she climbed over and in a little
while was sound asleep.

pulled in at Recca. The actors got of
and went 10 a hotel. Elsie was very
glad 10 get good breakfast. She felt
very much better after breakfast, and
they started for the show grounds. The
men fixed up the tent and the pretty
bareback riders changed their street

KNOCKED OUT OF THE BILL
Members of Agricultural Committee
of the House Liberal With Their
Several States.

Washington, March 26.-When the agri-
cultural appropriation was read for
amendment in the house today. Mr.. Macon
of Arkansas endeavored to have inserted
as a new proposition his bill prohibiting
the dealing in futures in agricultural prod
ucts. but the chair sustained point of
order against it. Mr. Scott, of Kansas.
in charge of the bill, expressed his entire
sympathy with the proposition. which,
however. ne insisted should be acted on
Independently.
Mr.. Mann. IND raised a storm of dis
cuSsiOn by directing attention to the fact
that ali of the eighteen new weather sta
tions provided by the bill were to be
placed in states having representation on
the agricultural committee
Mr. Scott, however, maintained that all
of them were placed in the bill on the
recommendation of the secretary of agri-
culture and the chief of the weather
bureau.
On point of order the several new
stations were stricken from the bill
These stations were proposed to be 10
coated in Texas. Kansas. Virginia. Mich
igan. Vermont, Missouri and Iidana
The bill was laid aside at 500 D. m.
and the house adjourned.

.GLASMARH ADMITS GUILT
District Attorney Halverson by
Agreement Accepts Verdict of
81 in Libel Case.

Two cases of more or less Importance,
and in which William Glasmann appears
in both the role of prosecutor and defend
ant. have been settled by stipulation, and
will be dropped from the calendar of the
district court District Attorney George
HalversOn is the other party in both ac-
lions and, like Glasmann, he apears in the
dual role of plaintiff and defendant. The
amount involved was $4,000.
By acknowledging judgment of 81 and
costs, Glasmann was able TO satisfy Mr.
Halversons honor, and thereby have him
agree to a dismissal of an action for libel
in which HalversOn asked for $4,000 dam
ages. This action was one of a number
which arose a year or more ago out of
certain articles published In the Glas-
mann papers.
Some time later Glasmann commenced
suit against HalversOn in which he asked
for 5000 for malicious prosecution. In
addition to acknowledging judgment in
the first case, Glasmann through his at
torney, A. G. Horn, agreed to dismiss
this case also.
