Thus spoke Mrs. Smith, to three
young ladies' who lived 200 yards
down the road and who were about to
leave her house after. an evening call.

two others took their hatpins In their
hands, and the three, bidding good
night to their hostess. made their way
down the path to the gate all on the
alert and in readiness to repel attack.
They were as brave and bold as ever
warriors were. They turned from the
front yard into the road and started
toward home.
"Girls, what's that2"
Tho three stopped and listened, but
only for moment Away back on
the road they could hear the footballs
Of man. They went on at n rapid
walk. The footsteps of the man grew
tlearer, and they could hear that he
was walking moro quickly than he
had been.
The girls walked faster.
The man walked faster.
Tho girls almost ran.
The man was coming nearer, and he
almost ran.
The girls broke from their walk and

Highway Engineer.
Az road made from sand and saw
dust is the latest style OF roadmaking
designed by George w. Cooley, state
highway engineer In Minnesota. Last
spring he made n section of road with
clover and rye ON a sand foundation.
This has been very successful. The
road made from sand and sawdust is
at Cambridge. In Isanti county, MINI.
-Four Inches of sawdust were raked
on the sand road after being graded.
This was worked into the sand by
passing teams. and as fast as ruts were
formed the sawdust was raked into
the ruts, to be further mixed with
sand. This Is new roadmaking ma
terial and II successful will make an
exceedingly profitable means of using
the immense quantities of sawdust
from the mills of the state.
In those counties whore there is
nothing but sand in the roads good
roads are impossible without the addi'
ton of other material. Mr.. Cooley Is
now experimenting with various
means OF turning the sand into vege-
table loan, which can be worked to
advantage. The idea is that the saw
dust will rot and. mixing with the
sand. will form a loan suitable for
making good roads With.
Such a small amount of money Is
appropriated by the state for the con-
structlon OF roads that the expert
ments have been on a limited scale
and the construction of roads proceeds
slowly. Minnesota spends only one.

To the Seattle Republican:
l arrove in Detroit on the 7th
of August and was much pleased
with what | saw. The colored
people are doing well. They are
engaged in all kinds of business,
grocers, druggists, restaurants,
laundrys, dry goods and notions,
doctors, lawyers and everything
else. | stopped on my way from
Roslyn at Spokane, Missoula, and
Butte. At Chicago l met many
old friends. I spent quite a de-
lightful day there. I found the
colored people there engaged In
all kinds of business.
