The Pr!u and His Cane.

In the number of the Taller for Oct
9, 1909, 1t Is observed that "a cane !:
part of the dress Of prig" (this, by
the way, shows the erroneous notion
prevalent that "prigglshness" is a
modern word "and always worn upon
a button, for fear he should be thought
TO have an occasion for 1t or be esteem
ed really and not genteelly cripple"
In the number Of Nov. IS a rural
squire In town Is sketched who is the
prototype Of one Of the pavement null
sances: "His arms naturally swung at
an unreasonable distance from his
sides, which, with the advantage Of a
cane that he brandisbed In a great va
riety of irregular motions, made it I'M
safe for any one to walk within sew
eral yards Of him."
And under date Of Dec. there is an
amusing sketch of "a lively, fresh col
ored young man" who was among the
applicants to Isaac Blckerstaff's court
of censorship for license to use canes,
perspective glasses, snuffboxes, orange
flower waters and the like ornaments
of life" This young man had his cane
hanging on his fifth button and was
IAN oxford scholar who was just en-
tered at the temple"

A Wedding Superstitlon,

1t has been considered unlucky to be
married In May ever since the days Of
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time In looking up roots and
reasons have given what they consider
TO be the origin Of the superstition as
follows:
In ancient Rome there was held in
May a festival called the Lemurla, or
feast Of the Lemures, which was a
ceremony in honor of the speeches of
departed souls. 1t became with the
Romans what we should call bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season Of a solemn ritual, being no
doubt thought to he an insult to the
dead to marry at such a time. From
this a number Of stories grew Of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and If anything unfortunate hap
pened to couple who had been mar
ried in May 1t would, Of course, have
been put down to retribution. SO the
tradition Of i'll luck arose, and Its In
fuence has lasted ever since, even to
our time.

That Highway Engineer Ques-
ton Explained.

There has been apparently 80 much
misunderstanding and misrepresen'
tation concerning the County High
way Engineer that, in justice to my
self and In the interest OF the work
that is before me, l feel It my duty
to place the matter squarely before
the citizens OF this county that they
may know the truth of the matter
An erroneous report has been circu
lated throughout this county that
Judge Graves of the Supreme Court
has rendered q decision that has
done away with the office OF County
Highway Engineer In the counties
under township organization. Now,
this is not the case. The Supreme
Court decision relates to the law OF
1905 creating special road districts.
The decision did not affect the law OF
1907 at all and In no way effects the
office of County Highway Engineer.
Prior to the year OF 1908, the
County Surveyor elected by the PEG
Die was ex.offlcio road and bridge
commissioner, whose duties 1t was to
look after the county bridges, make
plans and specifications for the re.
pair OF bridges, receive bids for the
repair, write up contracts and enter

tractor, inspect the workmanship
and material under each contract,

County Surveyor in the year OF 1904

the duties l had to perform In con

The last legislature enacted new
law which went into effect In 1908
which took these duties from the
County Surveyors Office and placed
them In the hands OF the County
Highway Engineer and besides these
duties It also imposes on him the
supervision OF all road overseers and
all roads in the county and numer-
