The Old Turnpikes.

The first great American highway
that between New York and Philadel-
phia, was long known as "the old York
road" Its construction Ia I'LL was
an example which led the colonists at
other points along the Atlantic sea
board to construct similar roads where
there were no water routes. They
were usually built by chartered com
panles and were called turnpikes or
toll roads. Pennsylvania, Connecticut
and New Jersey had many roads OF
the kind. The first macadam road In
America was built In 1892 between
Philadelphia and Lancaster. In 1911
there were said to be $500 miles OF
chartered turnpikes ia New England
and New York. During the next TWEEN
ty years the national government
spent many millions Of dollars In con
structIng great highways. but the pan
ic of 1887 and the building Of railroads
and canals put an end to that branch
Of government work.-Youth's Com
panion.

Cane of Good Hone.

The Cape of Good Hope lies at a
considerable distance from the end OF
South Africa and is, In fact, the middle
OF the three promontories, severaliy
inconspicuous, which Jointly terminate
a slender peninsula, some twenty miles
In length, forming the barrier between
False bay and the Atlantic ocean on
the west. These three headlands, lying
near together and commonly undivided
on map Of moderate scale, are locally
designated Cape Point. 1t was here
that Bartholomew Diaz first encoun-
tered in full force the prevalent south
easterly gales and denounced the rug
iged, threatening, threefold prornontory
under the sounding appellation Of the
Cape OF Storms, to be afterward re-
chrlstened by plous. trustful hearts the
Cape Of Good Hope.

Fooled the Poor sayssss.

Robert Louis Stevenson used to re-
late the following amusing story told
him by q south sea trader he had
been in the habit Of carrying all sorts
OF timed meats, which the natives
bought with avidity. Each tin was
branded with q colored picture-a COW
for beef, a sheep for mutton and a
Ash for snrdlnes. II happened that the
orm which furnished the mutton
thought it a good plan to alter Its
labels, that its goods might be more
easily distinguished from the others
Ths mark chosen was the figure OF @
frock coated sdggins-like individual
IL a chimney pot hat. The natives at
once came to the conclusion that tbs
tins contained ported missionary, and
there was a great run on the new line
Of goods,

PRIMARIES MAKE
MARKET WOBBLY
lrregularity Is a Dominant Note.
Fluctuations Are Within
Narrow Range
ADD TO PREVIOUS DAY GAINS
Political Developments Over the
Country May Be Followed
with Financial Distrust
ADD TO PREVIOUS DAY GAINS

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Irregularity
was the dominant note of the stock
market today and fluctuations were
within very narrow range. In the
later trading, however. the market
steered a more direct upward course
and added generally to its gains of
the previous day. Yesterdays pri-
mary returns from the Pacific coast,
developments in New York state and
other parts of the country, IL is appre-
hended, will increase the existing storm
of controversy and perhaps be fol-
lowed by no little uncertainty, II not
distrust.
Denials from abroad of a consumma-
ton of 81 much discussed copper mer-
ger impaired some heaviness to the
metal stocks, despite the publication OF
figures showing reduction in the
European supply of that commodity
and the recent large sales here for
domestic delivery Stocks of the iron
and steel companies were generally
strong in the face of further price cut
ting. United States Steel led these
issues, and an apparently large short
interest in that stock was again ma
terially reduced. In the railway llst
Reading and Union and Southern Pa
eific were the most conspicuous, The
Hartman shares were helped in no
small degree by the favorable crop re-
ports received from the agricultural
districts along that system, and the
rise in Rock Island was attributed to
the same cause.
The most interesting item from
abroad was the exhibit of the Imperial
Bank of Germany, which showed
further gain in it's gold holdings and
an enormous increase in deposits.
Americans were the strongest feature
of the London market. The general
markets of London were inclined to
heaviness on the unfavorable showing
made by one Of the leading rubber
companies.
The only noteworthy railroad return
issued today was that of the Baltimore
& Ohio road for July, in which an
increase of $445. 900 in gross earnings
was reversed to a loss of S154,O00 In net.
The feature of the bond market was
the strength and activity of the New
York state canal bonds, which ad-
vanced to 1903, figure well above that
paid by the purchasers at public bid
ding. The entire bond list was steady.
Total sales, par value, S2,059,OO0.
