The queer little, kind little, ellsh rover!

silvery horn full of sleepy sand
Shaking it here, and shaking it there,
Fill the blossoms nod in the drowsy air;
fill the sunlight creeps up hill to bed,
1r slips through the sky where clouds are red
rill the lambkins bleat soft goodnight!
Ard birds grow still in the tree tops bright,
While sweet little eyelids all over the land,
Drop with the weight of the silvery sand.

Roadway Names

much or little, dependent upon cir
cumstances. Here in Palisade at pres
ent, as the development of the suburb
progresses, we are particularly con-
cerned in the names of our roadways.
Paul Mcleod, engineer, is just tln1sh-
ing up some new maps of the Western
Slope, and the roadway names fur
nish a theme of much interest. In the
names already so we'll known there
turks a deal of charm, though some OF
the main ways were old and already
here, like Anderson or Palisade ave
nues. While Palisade is still in
swadling clothes Bluff road, Cum
bermede, Bride way, Bersford park,
Brook lane, Edgewood lane and DORM
court road are possessed OF an ind1v1d-
uality all their own; but there is an
array Of new roads which will become
better known upon the opening up OF
Section No. ?, west OF Anderson ave
nue., the coming spring. AS yet there
is little age to associations III Pall-
SADIE, but as time goes on, there Will
be poetry, prestige, music and pleas
ant memories to be recalled-names
that in future generations will be
spoken softly and reverently. In time
to come Edgewood lane or Bluff road
may even possess an undylng tame
from some unforeseen circumstance.
At right angles to Anderson avenue,
and running in winding curves toward
the west, is Elkdale road, two blocks
west of the junction of Bluff road and
Anderson avenue. DeerwoOd road is
between Bluff road and Elkdale road,
running west, while one block south
of Columbia avenue, running west
from Anderson avenue, is Aurora ave
nue.. Then, beginning at Aurora avenue,
running north, are many pretty road
names, all parallel with Anderson ave
nue.. These include Fairview lane, the
first roadway west of Anderson ave
nue. Then in the order named come
Glen road, Harvard place, Inwood ter
race, Jassamine way, klngsland lane,
when Bergen boulevard is reached,
also running north and south, with
Morningside lane the last of the roads
running across the property in the
same direction. The map then takes
a detour to the northwest along the
curve of Columbia avenue, winding
down the slope, and parallel with it
comes Northwood way, a beautiful
roadway overlooking the valley,
presenting one of the most enticing
sweeps of view in the wide world.
Northwood way runs northward in a
curve from Morningside lane to
Queensland lane, me latter just down
at the lower edge OF the slope. The
block from Morningside lane to
Queensland lane is the longest in
Palisade. being over 100 feet long,
with only ten foot lane to divide it
about near the centre.
On the southwest end of the slope
are some other attractive roadway
names, including Norman road, Oak
wood lane, Pembroke way, Ravenhill
place, Shetland lane, Trafalgar road,
Borough lane. Sunset place, Temple
terrace and Albemarle avenue. the lat

PAYS BOARD
 WITH DIAMOND
Stones are Accepted as Legal Tender in
 Pike County Town.

Murfreesboro, Aug. 9.-Pike county diamonds are considered legal tender in Murfreesboro, as was demonstrated by transac- tlon here today, when Sidney Mcintyre, painter, paid his landlord, G. W. Holder, a board bill with a diamond, getting the difference in the value of the stone and the amount owed in cash. Mcintyre found a nice diamond on the Mauney proper ty last week, which was roughly estimated to be worth $65. He left Murfreesboro for the pur- pose of selling the stone, but not receiving what he wanted in the way of an offer, was en route back to the town when he was ar rested at Nashville, Sunday night, under the misapprehen- sion that he was attempting to beat a board bill. When McIn- tyre met his insistent landlord this morning he offered the dia- mond in settlement, which Hold CT readily accepted, agreeing to pay the difference in cash, and the charge against Mcintyre was dismissed.
