For several years the lawyer had been
buying nearly all of his drinks at this par

the same as he paid his grocery bills.
Finally the old saloonkeeper bought a
house and lot, and he employed another
lawyer who never bought drinks to pre-
pare the abstract and the deed and trans
act other business in connection with the
deal. The lawyer who had been the regu-
filled with rage, and he went at once to
demand an explanation.
Here" he yelled as he leaned over the
bar and pointed an accusing finger at the
old German. Il buy all my drinks here.

Novel Road Material.
From Leslie's Weekly.


The farmers of central Kansas have
long been interested in good roads as
conducive to quicker transportation OF
their produce, and in that section Of the
country one may see almost any kind
of a made road. At Ellsworth, however.
there are two blocks that fool four-fifths
of the visitors to the town. The treat
ment Of this road was commenced about
two or three years ago, consisting OF
coarse and fine cinders in layers, then
a heavy covering of salt and aikai scale.
The water in that section of the country
is very hard. and in all the steam boilers
at the salt mills and other factories a
sort of alkali forms, which must be re-
moved frequently. This, with the salt
and alkali scale tnat forms in the salt
pans, is deposited on the roadway. IL
forms hard crust and makes most
excellent street. 1t is success on the
most busy thoroughfare Of the town, and
If the supply were not SO limited the
farmers would use it for the rural roads
and more of the streets would be paved
with 1t. The salt and alkali crust is
about three inches thick, and lies on
three inches of coarse cinders and three
inches Of sine cinders. Visitors inyaria-
bly, take the material for asphalt. and it
has all the residence of that substance.
