Piecing Out the Prayer

Of curious prayers q writer says: Il
have heard q layman utter this petition
during the prayer: %, Lord, be thou
with us i'll our upsittings an. our down
risings-a variant of the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest ray downsit-
tings and mine uprisings A minister
occasionally introduced a Latin SEN
tence into his prayer, and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister i'll his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies quarter
of an hour, but long before this period
had been reached he was wound up.
On one occasion, while il this dilemma,
he startled his hearers with the words:
And now, o Lord, I will relate unto
thee ~ little anecdote!'"

First Stage Coach To Arrive In TOnopah

Eight years ago Wednesday was the
day of the arrival of the first stage
coach in Tonopah. 1t was drawn by
four horses driven by Frank Humphrey
Of Manhattan, of the then stage firm
of Esser and, Humphrey. It required
two days to make the. trip from Soda
vile, stopping over night the first day
out at Crow Springs. The passengers
were: Fl. S. Brougher Ed Kennedy of
Virginia City, Bannock Jim, Tuscorora,
w. w. Booth, Delamar, the gambler,
and Billy the Painter. rowing artist.
The latter agreed to paint gold leaf
signs on the sides of the coach for his
passage to Tonopah, but failed to make
good on account Of too much free booze
in the then little busy camp of Tonopah.

How semInoIes Bury Their Dead.

How Seminoies Sury Their Dead.
Seminoles bury their dead on top Of
the ground, after wrapping them in
blankets, but always leave the top Of
the head exposed. They build pen
over the body and usually chink it
with earth. When his squaw dies, the
husband wears his shirt until it rots
off, which is not strikingly distinctive.
When the husband dies, the squaw
doesn't comb her hair for three
months. Little reverence is shown
for the dead. When Tom Tigers grave
was robbed and his bones taken for
exhibition the cutlery over the desc
Grafton was almost wholly a news
paper affair. The nearest settlers were
unbalanced and the Indians Indifferent.

A Better Way,

In the construction OF a new road
through an open country the usual
custom has been to excavate bitches
with the road grader, and throw all
the material into the centre of the
roadway, thus making what is often
called turnpike. The objection to
this method is that the most impor-
tant part OF the roadbed, the founda-
ton, Is composed largely of soft ma
terial which does not easily become
consolidated. better way would be
to remove all sod from the portions
excavated and use it for filling in the
low places where it can be covered
with at least three feet of earth. After
the sod is removed the road grader
can be properly used for carrying up
the earth into the roadway, and the
entire roadbed is formed of solid ma
terial which in its future settlement is
compacted uniformly, and will be less
likely to develop soft spots, as would
be the case if sod is thrown into it
1ndiscriminately. On . level or nearly
level prairie the roadbcd should be
built up foot or two above the origi-
nal surface to provide suitable drain
age from the center Of the roadway
to the bitches and the crown of the
road should be sufficient to allow the
water from rainf2lls to be quickly
carried of.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1909-09-02

after rains or continued wet weather
to smooth the earth surface and pre-
vent ruts from forming to hold the
water. During a visit to the East a
few months ago the speaker saw a
good illustration of the benefit to or
binary dirt roads from the use OF road
drags. 1t was after long rainy spell
and on one section Of road the condi-
tons were the same as are usually
found on country roads after heavy
rains. Teams without loads had diff
Guilty in travelling even at a walk. An
other section of road in the same VI
cinity had been worked with a road
drag which preserved the rounded
section, filled the ruts and allowed the
water to run off. There was no mud
on this section and teams were driven
at a trot. The roads were ordinary
farm roads of black loan, with some
clay in places.

USE THE ROAD DRAG.
There Is No Excuse for Allowing
Highway to Become Rutty.

There Is No Excuse for Allowing
Highway to Become Rutty.
The process of dragging. smoothing
and planning the road with one OF the
numerous styles of road drags now
happily coming into use in many To-
calities. Is 80 simple and inexpensive
that there Is no excuse for allowing
any road to become rough and rutty
through neglect. The split log drag
was first brought to the general no
tice of the public by D. Ward King
of Missouri, who had previously used
one for several years on the roads ad-
jacent to his home. Although drags
of many different styles have been
used for years, none seem to have
impressed the road users with their
utility and economy as the King split
log drag. 1t is easily and cheaply
constructed and consists of the two
halves Of a ten or twelve-inch log
eight feet long, framed together after
the manner OF a wood rack and drawn
with the split faces to the front along
each side of the road at an angle OF
As degrees to the line Of the road,
thus drawing the earth toward the
centre. Drags should be used just
