Fifty years ago, before the young
German giant had awakened from the

peaceful German Christmas was cor
rect, the Berlin correspondent of the
New York Evening Post says. But IL
one Of the burghers Of old Berlin, re-
turning from making his Christmas
purchases on Christmas eve, were to
be transplanted into the roaring hub
OF empire which his haupstadt has
become in the year OF grace, 1909, the
good man would probably expire on
the spot.
Fifty years ago, when Berlin was
dirty, unpretentious, provincial town.
with ill-lighted, ill-paved streets. with
a population renowned oven IN those
days for its surly manners and un.

militarism unchecked over It all, the

identified hy Veins.

The inger-print method of the
Bertillon measurement system OF
Identifying suspected criminals Is
probably to- be supplanted by photo
graphed records of the back of the
hand. Cases have been reported
where clever Indicators have de-
ceived police officials by soaring and
disiguring the tips Of their fingers
and thereby rendering detection from
that source impossible.
The network of veins on the back
of the hand is different In every per-
son, and by means of these individual
CONGREGATIONS infallible marks Of
Identification are furnished. With
out danger Of fatal injury it is i'm
possible to mutilate these veins by
branding or otherwise disiguring
the flesh Of +he hand. By allowing
the hand to hang loosely, or by stop
ping the circulation of the blood for
a few moments with a ligature about
the wrist, the veins will stand out
prominently on the back of the hand
and may be then clearly photo
graphed and the picture preserved
for future reference and indentifi-
cation.-Harper's Weekly.

poublY Interested.

The farmer Is in a double sense
more deeply interested in good roads
than anyone else. To him good roads
mean a great decrease in the, cost Of
getting, his produce to the market
and getting his supplies back. They
likewise mean a lessening of the lone
Illness of life.
To the people of every town and
city. the building of good roads is all
most as important as 1t Is to the
farmers. 1t means the betterment OF
every phase Of life and a closer inter-
mingIing of the people of town and
city; the lessening of wear and tear
on vehicles and the .betterment Of all
the conditions under which business
is carried on. And then the building
of good highways inevitably adds
largely to the value Of adjacent prop
erty. 1t is not too much to say\that
bodybuilding is not IN expense, but
an investment, paying a larger profit
to every community than anything
else it can do. The building Of good
roads means an increase in the value
of farm products by the lessening Of
the cost of hauling. In this way it
inevitably results in an increased
value to all property adjacent, and
the cost Of roads is more than made
up by this gain in prosperity. 1t is a
very false idea Of many that the
building of roads is an expense which
a community cannot afford. On the
contrary, it is an investment which
every well-settled and well-organized
community can afford to make, for 1t
returns the largest possible yield OF
profit, and a profit in which every
man, woman and child shares.

THE INDIANS HOME.
The Idea Of 1t is the Whole Country Through
Which The Roam,

"Homesick longing was in her
ever after all those years.
The children of a missionary FAM
lily went away to school, and when
they came back for vacation, one af-
ter another spoke of how pleasant it
was to be at home, or how sorry they
were for other boys and girls who did
not have such a home. The mother,
who had been silent all this while as
to her own feelings, finally gave word
to them, and told how she had longed
for a better home for them. They
were almost too much astonished to
reply, but at last the little girl of the
family went and put her arms round
her mother, and said, Why, mother,
you are home!'
Il fancy something of this feeling
was had by a little s~ix-year-old In
dian girl who came to Oahe School.
She had said good-by to her parents
without any show of emotion. She
was very fearless, very friendly with
the teachers, very much interested in
all the new things she saw, but as
the day wore away and the evening
came on. she came and stood by me
as l sat sewing. I was the only n
who could talk Dakotah to her. I
looked up at her and saw the tears
yelling up in her eyes, and | said,
Why, Maisie, what is the matter?'
she answered, sobbing. 1 won't
see my mother for a long time!
Poor little homesick soul! Moth
er meant home to her"
