was excited he was not in the least doubtful
of his ability to carry the burden he had
sumed. Long afterward some one asked him
if the appointment. coming when he

Mr.. Dasent very appropriately sketches at
this stage of his narrative the London of 1910.
In doing so he emphasizes the character of
The Times as a paper dealing with conditions
very different from those of own day.

CARS OERAlLED.
Some Coal Spilled and Ties Dam
AGED by Broke Journal

What might easily have been a serious
railroad accident occurred about two
o'clock Sunday morning.
A freight train running north ahead of
the 3 :03 sleeper had a hot box on the
forward truck of a loaded coal car.
causing the axle to break when the train
was over half mile south of the village,
just south of the locality of the land
slide which occurred last summer Luck
lily the rear journal of the forward truck
was the one affected, as a breakage of
its mate on the forward side would quite
likely have wrecked part of the train.
The damaged truck dragged along the
ties for three quarters o. a mile dis
placing many and damaging every one,
even to the extent of breaking a few
squarely in two. On reaching the
switch a few feet below the station the
coal car went over, dragging two cars
loaded with merchandise.
A wrecking train was run up from
Rutland and the track was cleared by
noon Sunday, and the damage done the
roadbed was speedily gotten at. New
ties are being set in to replace tn Sc
badly damaged. AS the end of the
truck struck the ties outside the rails,
few Of them were found necessary to re-
place, though the side braces of the rails
were ripped out for quite a distance.
The sleeper was delayed for six hours.

Mistakes in Paint,

The usual way to buy paint is to take
the lowest price by the gallon. Mistake
the buyer loses by it; how much? De-
ponds on the paint; it is 80 much a gal
lon, or so much a year. How much a
gallon or year, do you think? AS much
perhaps, as the total price of the paint.
1t may take twice the number of gallons.
N Avery, Delhi, N Y, owns two houses
both exactly alike. He painted one with
Devoe and one with another paint. De-
voc 6 gallons; the other 10.
Go by the name Devoe. There's moth
ing cheaper. Go by the price; there's
nothing dearer, except not painting at all
Poor paint is better than none.
What does il cost not to paint at ALI
Can't figure it out exactly; say tenth OF
the building year, besides looks.
What is poor paint worth, then. Don't
know and don't care; you don't want it.
Go by the name.

Mr.. and Mrs.. Edward Snaveley o.
Baltimore have come to town In their
Pullman motor car and are at John
Garver's. The cars rear axle was
broken two miles east Of town. This
was repaired and the car was run to
Abilene last evening.
1--WE are in no hurry to get any
where" Mr.. Snaveley said today.
I'VE started from Baltimore three
weeks ago last Wednesday, crossing
five states in eleven days, and then
spent the last ten days In crossing
Missouri. The roads in that state are
In bad condition because OF the UNI
usually heavy rains.
"Our objective point is Denver, but
we do not care particularly when we
get there We expect to spend the
entire summer In our car, so what's
the use Of hurryingP When we are
buzzing along the road and chance to
see q likely looking stream, why we
stop and fish. Or II we come to q
grove Of shady trees the motor is shut
off and we get out and take a nap in
the shade during the heat Of the day,
Maybe we see a pretty patch Of wild
flowers or an unprotected grove Of
wild plum trees. Time is not SO
pressing but that we may enjoy these
offerings OF nature.
Shortly after 6 o'clock every night
we drive into some farmers dooryard
or in a field near the house and with
his permission, set up our camp for
the night. Usually we are able to
buy from the farmers all the milk,
butter and eggs we need. Maybe we
can get at some Of the places gener-
GUS piece OF country cured ham mot

The car which consists Of special
ly made body on a White Steamer
chassis attracts much attention from
motorists who envy Mr.. and Mrs.
Snaveley their delightful outing. To

about $25 for lumber. Any wagon
shop would turn out similar body
for a motor car chassis at . cost Of

The weight OF the entire conveyance,
