We are above all an extravagant nation and

Every man who keeps at all in touch with the

keep down expenses and to make every stroke
count. He knows freight charges in the last

to improve wagon transportation over the high
ways. Good roads are as important from an
economic standpoint to the farmer as cheap

There is no country in the world outside of

gathering specimens of vertebrate fossils,
Prof. Charles Schuchert. curator of the
Peabody museum. was likewise prospecting
for invertebrate fossils at the island of
Anticosti, in the Gulf Of st. Lawrence.
From there Prof. Schuchert during the
summer gathered more than 1000 pounds
OF fossils, which will be placed also in the
museum collection. The museum also re-
ceived as the result of a summers work
of one of the students, w. II. Twenhefel,

Arisaig coast of Nova Scotia. These are
illustrations Of the marine life OF Silurian

When the new specimens collected this
year have been assorted, registered and

display as a result of the first summer
spent in research since the days OF the
late Prof. Marsh, who contributed tons OF
fossils to the museum. Another addition

and he interested me greatly by telling me
Of his adventures in the southwest.
Five years later 1 was riding on a rail-
way train approaching Dennison, Tex,
and l saw him. Being young and foolish, l
hit him on the back and said: Hello. MI.
West! I'm glad to see you" Say. Kinch's
smoke wagons were all over me in a min
ute. Until he recognized me he scowled,
and after that he laughed heartily. At Den
nison he wrung my hand and said: Good
by, boy and don't say anything about my
being here
Naturally, l hunted up Kinch West John
son, and what do you suppose he was? A
drummer. A mild-mannered boy. who was
glad to acknowledge that the redoubtable
Kinch West was his grandfather. And he
confessed to me that he had never owned
a gun in his life.
One story Of this kind leads to another.
/ recalled Frank James almost as soon
as l had listened to young Johnson's story
of how little use he had for a gun. About
fourteen years ago / happened to be present
