the distances between all the chief

find If you are travelling on road
which leads to Paris that the name Of
the metropolis will appear on the sign
board, although it may be several hun
dred kiIometers distant
In addition to these guideposts the
Touring Club of France has put on
the chief roads a series Of signs and
symbols to indicate TO motorists and
bicycIlsts what sort Of road they are
approaching. The sign 'ralentir." which
translated into good United States
means to 'let up has caused many a
motorist who is unfamiliar with the

THE ENCORE HABIT.

How Sims Reeves Turned the Tables
on One of His Admirers.
Sims Reeves, who In his day was ac-
cepted as the most celebrated tenor on
the concert stage, was 30 much Of a
fayorite that whenever be sang he was
usually greeted with hearty encore,
accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
Reeves was very good natured about
the matter. but be made II rule never
to sing more than one selection when
he felt that his voice was not In first
class shape. He happened TO notice
that an elderly man. who turned out
to be dealer In hats along the Strand,
London, attended nearly every concert
within convenient distances Il Sims
Reeves happened TO be on the bin and
generally led the encore brigade. This
halter was a persistent person and Of
ten applauded until he had forced
Reeves TO respond to double and triple
encores
Determined to teach the little halter
a lesson, one afternoon just as dark
was approaching Reeves entered his
admirers store and said. zone hat
please" naming the particular shape
which he desired. The little halter
didn't recognize the great tenor and
handed out one hat
Good" said Reeves. How much
is this hat2'
Five shillings. said the store pro
prietor.
Encore said Reeves.
A second bat was forthcoming, and
Reeves ultimately obtained three Fen
core hats. When the little halter de
manded Il sterling for the purchases
Reeves pretended to be furious.
Send these four hats to this ad
dress. ordered the tenor in terrible
lone, ''but | only pay for one hat. Do
you understand? The three other bat
are encore hats. If you make me sim
songs for nothing you must send m,
hats for nothing"

A FARMERS KNOCK.
A Rebuke to Restaurants Which Object
to Bucolic Appetites.

II notice that an Atchinson restaur-
ant proprietor does not want the farmer
patronage. If ne will allow his name to
be published, we farmers win see that
be is accommodated. We are not objects
Of charity, and no farmer win showing
" eat where he Is not wanted. There
ii this to be said about the farmer.
When he goes to the city he does not
look up some person with whom he has
q having acquaintance, expecting TO be
invited to dinner, but goes TO restaur
ant where he expects to pay d regular
price for regular dinner. Ii he orders
second cup of coffee, he finds his ticket
changed from rs cents to 80 cents.
Considering that very good coffee retails
at 20 cents pound, and much Of it
sells for less, II would seem that the res
taurant keeper need not be in danger of
going into bankruptcy on that score.
CAS- for the city men being such deli
cate eaters, maybe those who patronize
restaurants are, but those who come to
the country can generally hold up their
end Of the string with the farmer in
the slowing away OF vietuals. Every
farmer has city friends of whom ne is
very fond and when he invites them
TO his home the guest Is welcome to
the best the house affords, and nothing
peases the farmer more tnan To have
MS guests help themselves literally. But
another thing every farmer also knows
Is saat there are lots of ely men, when
in the country on any little business who
will, upon a very slight pretexe or invita-.
ton, take seat at the farmers table
and, after the meal, win renumerate
him with few glib words to the farm
ers wife Goo Of which would not cash
in for q, penny even before the financial
furry.
But one thing Mr.. City-man never
forgets, and the farmers nave heard II
50 often, that they can hardly keen
from screaming when they hear irt, Ii
How much it costs to live in the city;
how high everything is; how much a
meal like the one before him would
cost, etc, and winds up saying, And
here it does not cost you a tning' Does
