How Moody Got Out Of Il.

Many were the Interesting expert

conference called by II. l.. Moody. one

I'm his varying phases It was the con
versaton hour at noon, and about 100
men were sitting under the tent on
Round Top.
Mr Moody, leaning Sturdily against
the tent pole. led the meeting. Sudden
ly there came from him the plump
question, "Brcthrcn. how many OF you
have so grown I'm grace that you can
bear to have your faults told?"
Many hands went up. Quick rs Il
fash, but neither sharply nor insult
ingly. Mr.. Moody turned to young
minister and said;
Brother. YOU have spoken thirteen
times In twelve days here and perhaps
shut out twelve other good men from
speaking"
1t was true. The Young man had
been prcSuming and otliCiouS. He had
held up his hand. but he could not
bear to be chiddcn. and now he stoutly
defended himself, only making mat
tcrs worse Then another minister
broke forth and beratcd Mr.. Moody for
his bluntncsS. The latter hlushcd. but
listened until the reproof was done
Then he suggestivcly covered his face
and spoke through his fingers, "Breth

On the Fly.

America is the short stretch in Wash
ington from the + street car line to
the entrance to the senate wing of the
capitol. On a good bluStcry winters
day 1t is possible ut almost any time
to see two or three people chasing
their hats across the street, The old
timers have learned that 1t doesn't pay
to chase your own hat Somebody else
Will be sure to run after 1t and bring
II to you.
One day Representative Murdoch OF

to chase his own hat.
"Never do it," he said Somebody
will bring ii To YOU"
''Wcll, you ought to know" replied
the other man. "KanSaS is the wind

"Yes," replied Murdock, It's so
windy out there that when n mans

Called His Bluff.

A young woman of smart wit and
striking beauty presided at one of the
stalls at Il Paris charity bazaar.
Among the small crowd which pressed
round the fair vendcr was a young
man OF much assurance. who gazed
upon the girl with freedom and affect

cles exposed for sale, but bought moth

"What will you please to buy ask

"Oh," replied the young dandy, with

spondcd.
"Oh no; dare not declare my wish

"Neverthcless let me know what you
wish to buy" persisted the fair sales
woman.
"WclI, then, since you demand it, l

She manifested no embarrassment at
the bold request, but with pair Of
scissors Immediately clipped off one of
her beautiful locks and handed 1t to
the aStonishcd youth, rcmarking that
the price was only 800 francs.
Her audacious admirer was thunder

History.

History is running account OF how
King Somebody's either did or
did not get to certain place, which
nobody ever heard OF, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that 1t would have made quite n dif-
ference whether he did or not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history of the gar
den Of Eden depends upon whether 1t
is related by IL man or woman.
The history Of the American Revolu
tion reads quite different in English
books from the way 1t reads in our
own books.
History is a bore, not only because
you are unaCquainted with the people
who figure in 1t. but because 1t re-

MOLASsES FOR ROADS.
OF Great Value In Improving High
ways When Mixed With Lime.

Molasses mixed with lime and oil Is
being experimental with by the United
States department OF agriculture In
roadmaking. and this combination
promises to prove of great value In
bettcring the highways In certain sec
tionS of the country.
Last fall the experts OF the United
States department OF agriculture made
several experiments on the streets or
Newton Mass. One that attracted no
ticc on the part OF authorities on street
construction and no little ridiCule was
what was dubbed the "molaSSes road"
The street commissioner selected
difficult piece Of road on Summit
street, with a steep grade and sharp
curve-just the spot for quick destruc-
tion of road by the automobile and
heavy traffic and an equally advanta-
gcous place for observation Of the eff
feet OF the strong wind.
A preparation OF molasses, lime and
oil was mixed with small amount OF
cement and spread on the surface hot.
The liquid In the mixture percolated to
the substratum of rock and made
surface of from two to three inches Of
heavy binding material That section
has passed the tests Of winter, and to-
day the surface IS so hard that cOnsid
cradle force Is required to dent 1t with
pickax,
1t is not slippery. 1t gives a firm
footing for horses and automobiles do
not skid. On this section Of Summit
street are located fine residences and
n large school for girls. and today,
with the windows open, no irritating
particles Of dirt are driven into the
dwellings.
Any one who takes look at Sum
NIT street Is not likely to gibe at the

expensive than street watering.

Maintaininu the Hiqhways.

The New York State Automobile as
sociatiOn has indorsed bill before
the legislature at Albany which pro
vidcs for tax on automobiles grad
uated as to weight, the proceeds to be
devoted TO the maintenance of the i'm
proved highways OF the state. On the
basis Of present registration an annual
income of 100000 Is expected from
this source. The income from auto
mobile registration fees In Massachu-
sets for eighteen months amounted
to $145.0OO. which was used In road
maintenance last year But the state
has built TO miles of improved road,
which require for proper maintenance
an expenditure of $500 mile n year.
1t Is estimated that law patterned
after that recommended by the New

provide n Sufficient income In MasSa-
Chusetts to maintain the improved
roads without specific Legislative ap-
preparation.
