that their highway authorities insist on
the expenditure of these appropriations
in such manner and for such roads as
will be for the best interests of the
states as a whole.
The bill also provides that not less
than $50O,OO0 out of the total ap
preparation of $5O,O0OO0O shall be ex-
pended in each state of the United
States, this. amount to be expended in
each state at the rate of not less than
100000 annually. This insulps the
smaller states against discrimination in
favor of the larger or more densely
populated states and will prevent any
thing like favoritism in the distribu-
ton of the appropriations for this pur-
pose.
The enactment of this bill Will in
augurate a national policy of road con
struction and Improvement which will
ultimately result in giving the entire
country a system Of permanent 3publiC
highways constructed after the most
scientific methods under the joint su.
pervision of the national highways com
mission and the various township
county and state authorities. The en-
gineers and construction staff Of thu

A Bride With Some Good Points.

Some years ago in an agricultural
district IN England there lived farm
er who wanted to sell one of his cows.
There was not at that time weekly
paper in which he could advertise, so
he resolved to follow a local custom
and ask the vicar of the parish when
giving out his notices at church to ad-
vertise the cow.
"Yes, farmer said the vicar. II
should be willing to oblige you. but
you don't attend my church"
Presently, however, they struck
bargain that the vicar should adver-
tise the COW, and the man in return
promised to go to church. Now. TN
fortunately the man was deaf, and on
the Sunday following when the vicar
| gave out the banns of marriage be
| tween Joseph So-and-so, bachelor and
Sarah So-and-so, spinster, the farmer
took it for granted that the vicar was
giving out particulars Of his COW ant
shouted out:
"You might as well say while 20,
are about it that she is most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice.

KILLING A DEVILFlSH.
Sport on the Gulf of Mexico That En-
tails Muscle Rackinq Work.


The task of hitting deviltish from
q fourteen foot boat was left to the
bachelor of the party, the married
member explaining that he felt his
duty to the ones at home excluded him
from anything that smacked so OF
suicide. Accordingly, says writer in
Scribner's Magazine, when near the
next fish the skifr put out from the
stern of the Irene, the spearman stand
Ing in the bow, while the skipper stood
the big boat away so as to give the
fish clear field at the first rush.
The plan developed perfectly-the
throw was good, the fish half tilted
the boat with his first splash and then
rushed away in great swinging cir
Gle. SO that in fifteen minutes it was
possible for the sloOp to cut across and
catch up, when by some maneuvering
it became possible to pass the inboard
end of the line up to her bowsprit
After that it was a fight to finish,
with the devilfsh on one end OF the
line and the ten ton sloop on the 9th
er. For long while it seemed as
though the devilfsh had the better OF
it. He towed that big boat steadily
out into the gulf for three hours and
twenty minutes. 1t was exactly like
being in tow Of fair sized tug. The
progress of the boat was not fast, but
as steady as if it were being driven by
the Irene's own engines.
1t may be fair to remark that killing
devilfish entails as much genuine
muscle racking hard work as any tasl
on earth. 1t is much the same as pull
ing for hours against a yoke of oxel
who are moving off entirely Indifferent
to ones futile efforts The devilfisl
will not let simple towing tire him. 4
left to himself he will sound to bottom
and, after resting. proceed on ad infini
tum. 1t is to prevent such restin:
that one must work constantly by ha Il,
ing the tow in close to him. thereb.
frightening him to constant effort. l
he can be strained to the point 0
weakening, then he may be haule'
close enough to harpoon again.
