invented In the Year 1920 by . Penn.
sylvania Doctor.
Though the name blackboard" is ap-
piled to thousands of carriages, few
people know how the word came to be
used.
Back around 1920, says the American
Vehicle, In explaining 1t, when the
transportation Of goods, wares and
merchandise was almost entirely by
wagon, q Dr. Buck, who for many
years afterward was the military store
keeper at Washington, was in charge
of military stores en- route to army
posts In the southwest.
In east Tennessee much difficulty
was experienced by reason Of the rough
roads, and there were frequent mis-
haps, mostly from the wagons over
turning.
DIR. Buck overhauled the outfit, and,
abandoning the wagon bodies, long
boards were set directly on the axles
or hung below, and the stores were
loaded in such a manner that there
were no further delays from break
downs, and the stores safely reached
their destinations. In special emer-
gency, too, the load could be shifted
or taken of in hurry.
The idea was probably not new, but
DR.. Bucks example was followed,
especially when roads were rough. and
soon much hauling was done by the
use of wheels, axles and boards only.
Now we have the blackboard, both In
carriage and automobile forms, con-
forming closely to the original Idea,
though few suspect the source OF IT.

Tn. Effort Of HI. Life a Failure.

". Gilbert had a novel experience
before he wrote for the stage, when
he was barrister waiting for his first
brief. It was long in coming, and
when It did come Mr.. Gilbert deter.
mined, of course. to make the effort OF
his life.
He was intrusted with the prOsecu.
ton of an old Irish woman for stealing
a coat, and when he began the speech
that he had prepared and rehearsed so
carefully, the old dame at once began
to interject: ooh, We divil, sit DOWN.
Sure, now, he's loier, yer honor" "Sit
down, We spalpeen" Hes known to
all the perlice, yer honor!" After some
minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked
the recorders Intervention, but that Of.
fetal was too busy laughing. So the
effort Of his life was not a success.

The RothschiIds, Way.

A New Orleans man said the other day
Of the great house of the Rothschilds:
"The Rothschilds push their strictness
to the point of eccentricity. They once
had for agent here in New Orleans a
fine fellow. They telegraphed to this
agent at q certain season to sell their
cotton holdings, but he knew the price
would 60 higher and therefore he didn't
sell till four days later. In consequence
he netted an extra profit of 900 to his
firm.
when he sent the Rothschilds the
money and told them joyously what he
had done they returned the whole
amount with cold note that said:'
"'The $4,000 you made by disobey-
ing our instructions is not ours, but
yours. Take it. Mr.. Blank, your sue
cessor sails for New Orleans to-day"

After proceeding quarter of mile at q

cabby to whip the horse lest she should
lose her train.
He did so, but the speed soon subsid-
ed to the original pace. Again the lady
demonstrated, saying:
"Can't you whip your horse on some
tender part to wake him up bit? I'm
sure I'll be late"
The jehu looked at her moment and

It is suggested as an explanation OF
the strange phenomenon that In the

full vegetation and then through some
upheayal Of the earth 1t was buried In
sand. Little by little water acting on
the sand penetrated the branches and
solidified

Present Giving Worse Than Tipping.
The trend Of the times makes itself
felt in the matter Of presents and
present giving. In the days Of our
grandmothers these tokens Of affection
were few and far between and were
marked by a stern simplicity. But we
have changed all that. and the up to
date riot of presents means deadly
drain on our bank balances.

the burden of countless presents can
