BEST ROADS ON EARTH.
Surprising to Learn That They Are
In Northern Africa.

I'm january of this year I saw in
Algeria and Tunisia what L believe to
be the best constructed public high
ways in the world, and l take off my
hat to the clever Frenchmen who, in
their possessions in north Africa have
shown mankind how to build model
roads" said ]. Augustus Noakes, Of
London, an English scientist and trav-
eler. at the Stafford.
There is one particular stretch Of
road. that between Bougie and Jijeli,
200 miles in length, that is positively
the best example of road-making on
earth. Winding along a forbidding
coast for almost its whole route, 1t was
cut out Of the solid rocks overhanging
the sea at a great height and forming
the most wonderful corniche in exist
ence.
Here France has built, not for to-
days needs, but for the future and
these north African roads are fully the
equal of those world-renowned high
ways the ancient Romans made. They
are opening the country to commerce
and civilization and preparing it for
the immense population it will some
day surely have. Already splendid
system exists, a network not only Of
main roads. but of minor ones, even
the mountain pathways showing the
same care and skill Of construction.
Mind you. they have been built not
only near the cities, but far out into
the desert for the benefit of the great
caravans as they journey between the
towns and the heart of Darkest Af-
rica.
"Of the most permanent and endur
ing character are these French high
ways; all the bridges and tunnels are
Of stone; the outer walls, along
cliff or over the sea, are a yard high
and eighteen inches thick. They are
not interrupted by the deepest gorge
or the loftiest mountains. The engi-
neers who did the work were masters
Of their profession. who gloried in ac-
complishing q job that will be praised
for centuries to come.
THE entire system is kept in fault
less order. The whole territory Is d.
vided into sections. each with an over
seer I'm command of a squad of labor
erS, the government giving the over
seer fine residence and adequate sal

Wanted to Bet.-When w. P. Gil

Wanted to Bet.-When w. P. Gilpin
was one or the most fearless amateur
riders this country ever saw. He had a
fall with the horse Cyclone at Morris
park that sent him to the hospital for
a couple of months. Gilly, as he was
best known about the tracks, was un-
conscious for the best part of four
weeks, and it was thought that he
would never recover from his injuries
says the New York Telegraph.
1t was while his life was still des-
paired of that a parson called at the
hospital to offer spiritual comfort to
the desperately injured rider. At this
time Gilly had fitful periods of con-
sciousness. and it was while his brain
was clear that the parson drew pict-
ure of the beauties of Heaven.
And if go there I'll be an angelo"
asked Gilly.
Yes"
And I'll have a pair of wings?"
Yes"
You'll be there?"
I hope So"
And you'll have a pair of Wings"
Why, yes, of course"
I'll bet you 20 I'll outfly you" And
Gnly turned over and went asleep.

Stranger Didn't Know-Witmer
Stone, the naturalist of Philadelphia
was discussing at the Academy of
Natural Sciences a bird book that
was full of errors.
Really" Mr.. Stone said, the err
rors in this book make me think of the
city hall clock. It's an anecdote about
two men who after dining not wisely
strobe arm m-in-arm down North Broad
street. One of them happened to raise
his head, and the illuminated face OF
the city hall clock, high up the even
ing sky, caught his eye.
oh he said, look at the-hic-
moon!"
That isn't the moon,' his compan-
ion said. It's later than you think
Thats-hic-the SUM-
They argued, lurching on together
over this question a long time, and
finally they agreed to leave it to the
first man they met.
beg pardon they said in concert
pointing to the clock tower but, tc
settle a bet, would you kindly tell US
sun?
The man looked ar the clock, ther
he looked at his interrogators.
I'm sorry l can't oblige you, he
said, but the fact is, I'm stranger ir
these parts .'"-Washington Star.

THE GAIN IN FARM VALUES.
Last Decade the Most Prosperous In
Our Country's History.

One of the most interesting disclos-
gain IN farm values made in the last
decade. That gain has been distrib-
uted over the whole country, extend
ing into states where agriculture has
been supposed to be declining and
abandoned farms" were much in ev-
idence, as we'll as into states where
agriculture has long been the chief
source of wealth. Thus in Massachu-
setts an increase Of 81 per cent is re-
ported in the value Of farm land and
buildings, of 80 per cent In the value
of implements and machinery and of
32 per cent in the value Of farm land
an acre. The figures for Connecticut
are 40, SO and 63 per cent, respective
ly, while in the middle west the in
creases have ranged we'll up to 100 per
cent. Kansas has much more than
doubled the value of land and build
ings and the average value to the acre,
while in Colorado the gains are 2S3
per cent for the land and buildings
and 10 per cent for the average acre
price.
The last decade was, in fact, the
most prosperous in the whole history
of American agriculture. 1t saw the
prices of agricultural products reach
unprecedented figures and hold firm
for several seasons. The owners of
farms lifted their mortgages and i'm
proved their property, and land values
adN or l.
vance was not due, moreover, to an
inflow of population into the farming
districts, creating a greater demand
for land In states like Indiana and
Missouri, in which between 1900 and
1910 there was practically no increase
in the population outside the cities,
lands rose steadily in price. The aver
age value to the acre increased 104
per cent in Missouri and SO per cent
In Indiana.
Land values were kept low for many
years by the excessive supply Of cheap,
undeveloped land in the sparsely set
tied west. That supply has been pref
ty we'll exhausted, and the upward
movement, long artificially stayed, is
now in full swing. High prices for
most commodities, and especially high
prices for farm products, accelerated
the gain of the last decade, which has
largely made up for the stagnation so
persistent between 1880 and 1900. The
farmers industry has left behind 1t
the abnormal period of homestead
ing and his land is acquiring new val
ue every year. The future of agri-
culture in this country was never
more assured or more promising, be-
cause the increase in population from
now on will far outrun the possible
increase in area available for tillage.

Fate of the Friends Advice.

The heiress had married a struggling
not any too we'll pleased. In conse-
quence the parental supply had been
cut off. The heiress was perfectly 10y
al, however, to the man of her choice,
had full faith in his future and tried
hard to help him, but she found his
present circumstances rather difficult,
as she was not accustomed to economy.
Also she found that while he was
temperamentally liberal with himself
in some directions, his anxiety to
make good with a bank account often
became most intense when she needed
some article of wearing apparel In
other words. says the New York Press,
he was willing to spend money for al
most anything else except her clothes.
"Of course l love Arthur" said the
heiress Loyalty, 'and he really isn't
close-just anxious to make good with
mama and papa, but he has no idea
how hard 1t is for me to buy cheap
goods. Just think of my having to
wear stockings that cost only so cents
a pair!"
Never mind" said her friend con-
solingly. 1T Is just as easy to keep
Isle stockings clean as 1t is silk"
That's exactly the trouble" moaned
the heiress ruefully. Il wish it were
not If 1 could make the plea to Ar
thur that Isle hose could not be kept
clean it might have some weight with
him. Besides, should have more
nerve, in the case, to insist on having
silk ones. The next time I tell my
troubles to anybody shall pick out
someone who will tell me that only the
most expensive silk stockings can be
kept perfectly clean"
"Oh," said the adviser in dismay,
lis that what you want? thought
you wanted the truth"
"Oh, did you? Does anybody who
seeks advice ever want the truth?
What / want is silk stockings-and
somebody to back me up in getting
them"

ACRES OF QUILTS.
Needle Artists of Georgia Engage In
Unique Competition.

A few weeks back when Major
Archibald w. Butt, aide-de-camp to
President Taft, was in Atlanta, Ga, he
was taken for an automobile spin out
i'm the country. On this ride he hap
pened to see an old fashioned quilt
hanging in the yard Of a country
house. Major Butt is former south
erner himself, and this brought him
back to the days of the youth when
the homemade quilt was used alto
gether.
Major Butt is just completing a
handsome new home In washington
and to the friend who was driving
with him, he mentioned the fact that
he wanted to secure one Of these old
fashioned quilts to adorn his home
He asked his friend to look out for
one for him.
The majors friend mentioned the
matter to the Atlanta newspapers, and
all three of them had long articles on
the subject, stating that the friend OF
the presidents aide-de-camp would
like to get one of these quilts by May
20.
The office of the Atlanta man now
looks like a county fair, 1t is said
From far and near quilts have come,
Many Of the good women Of Georgia
are experts in needlework and they
are proud of it. When 1t became
known that there would be a good
many quilts offered and the best one
selected from the number, all Of the
good women entered into the contest
with zest. The result is that quilts
have been offered in very large num-
bers, of every description. Those who
are schooled in the art say that every
design known to needlework was
there, mine patch" "sunflower," "sug-
ar loaf" log cabin" bow knot. "
block quilt" crazy" and all the
others.
To make the selection the Atlanta
man selected a committee composed of
we'll known dry goods men. The lat
ter stipulated, however, that their
names should never be announced and
that no one should ever know who
they were. They were afraid Of the
consequences. And who can blame
them ?-Greenville Piedmont.
