"a Bad Speculation"

There are pentitents and penitents.
Some are sorry that they did wrong
others regret the unpleasant conso
quences of their evil deed. Governol
Baborur of Virginia once defended a
man charged with stealing pair o.
shoes. The man was convicted.
One day, years after, the governor
was standing conversing with several
lawyers in front of the courthouse,
when a man approached and said he
wished to speak with him. They walk
ed off together, and the man asked:
Squire, do you remember | once
hired you to defend me?"
"Yes."
We'll, squire, the taking of them
shoes was the worst JOB. l ever did. |
didn't keep 'em a week. They put me
in Jail; | gave you the only horse I
had to defend me; my crop was los:
cause ! couldn't see to it; and then,
squire, they gave me thirty-nine lashes
at last. tell you, squire, it was bad
speculation"

MORE ABOUT SPLIT-LOG ROAD
DRAG.

In all sections of the country are
heard nothing but words of praise
for the work being accomplished by
the King split-log drag, the extreme
ly simple device which is putting
earth roads in condition like boule-
wards. The drag has been strongly
recommended by the United States
Department of Agriculture and by
supervisors and farmers generally.
1t can be made and operated by any
person. Less than five dollars will
pay the cost of construction and a
half-hour's use of it after rain will
keep dirt roads for a distance of
mile in better condition than most
macadam roads.
A road maintained by the drag is
in perfect condition. 1t has an ex-
cellent crown and hard and smooth
surface which sheds the water read
lily Ruts are obliterated and mud
holes unknown. Supervisors have
found that they can pay farmers
from 80 to SO cents an hour to
operate the drags after each rain
and maintain mile of dirt road to
compare with a State road at cost
estimated in a government report at
from $3.50 to Sc year per mile.

syllable, when he stopped so quick
ly as almost to throw me TO the
pommel.
Well, we reached the Tombs of
the Kings at last, over five miles
from the ferry, through a defile in
the sandstone mountains, wilder
and more barren than can be describ-
ed. Except a landscape in the moon
nothing could be more barren.
About IS tombs of royalty have been
discovered, but there are a thous-
and tombs of commoner men on the
other side of the ridge. Here were
found some of the rarest treasures
of Egypt, which now enrich the
matchless collection in the Egyptian
Museum of Cairo.
1t was a great relief to escape from
the glare and heat of the desert into
tobacco and Intoxicating liquors, and
the cool silence of these royal cham
bers of the dead. The general plan
of these tombs is the same. A long
incline followed by a fight of cut
into the rock, ending in a rock-hewn
temple or sanctuary. Then another
fight of steps some so feet deeper
to the burial chamber itself. The
walls are covered with brilliant dec
orations depicting the Iife of the
royal occupant and setting forth by
mystic symbolism the religion of the
Egyptians. Emblems of every sort
abound, the lotus, the scarab, the
life-giving waters of the Nile, the
various sacred animals, the images
of the gods in bewildering variety.
Hieroglyphic writing recites the his
tory and virtues of the dead mon
archs, their triumphs, their glories,
their achievements.
We visited the tombs of Seti |,
Menepteh ii, and Amen Heteph IL.
The mummy of the last-named still
lies in its sarcophagus 500 feet from
the surface. In small chamber at
the side are the mingled fragments
of mummies huddled together, per-
haps those of his slaves. There they
all lie under the glare of the cleo
trio light to be gaped at by globe
trotters after the long centuries of
silence. 1t seemed a kind of sacri-
lege, the merchant of our party
said, but we would not willingly
have missed the sight.
The government OF Egypt has as
sumed the care of all tombs, temp
les and antiquities, which assures
their proper preservation. 1t is
pity that this could not have been
done centuries ago before the tombs
were rified and their contents de-
stroyed by ruthless seekers after
treasure.
AS we rode out into the heat of
the desert dust, l was impressed by
the sight of the mudwalled cabin of
the care-taker of these tombs of
royalty. 1t stands perched upon
pinacle of rock, scarcely larger than
a dry goods box. A yellow dog, hav-
ing a jackals bark, guarded the
meager home. The leather-skinned
Arab who took with surly unthank-
fulness the guides tip given in our
behalf, stalked slowly up the height
as we rode away. We were hasten
ing to shade and green fields, and
soon or late to the far land of our
loved ones, but this creature, cap
able of love and hate and all the
emotions of our human life, lived
there with the dead, lived there in
the endless summer heat and dust
with his starved and miserable yell
low dogs.
