Starting the Stopped.-One day an
old farmer borrowed a mule from his
neighbor. After he had finished his
work he sent his 14-year-old boy to
take il home. The boy had gone about
half mile when the mule stopped and
positively refused to go any further.
After the boy had almost pulled his
arms off trying to get him to go an
old doctor came along and asked:
why, my son, what is the matter
with your mule?"
why, sir, can't you see, he has
balked!" cried the boy.
Well" said the old man, opening his
case and taking out bottle labelled
carbolic acid, we'll see what we can
do for him." and he poured some of
the acid on the mules back, and in
much less time, than it takes to write
it the mule was galloping down the
road at a rate he had never gone be-
fore.
The boy looked up in surprise and
said Doctor, have you got any more
of that stuff?"
Yes" answered the man.
well, doctor, are you sure you have
got a whole lot more of it?" he asked.

you want to know for?" he asked with

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Virginia Senator Wants Annual APP
propriation of S20,OOO,OOO.


The annual appropriation of $20,OO0,-
900 for five years to improve the post
roads and rural delivery routes of the
government was urged in the senate
last Friday by Senator Swanson of
Virginia. Contending that despite the
amazing achievements in many direc-
tions by this country, it is notorious
that the United States has the poorest
roads and highways of any civilized
nation, he said.
Senator Swanson explained that his
plan would open more than 100000
miles of roads to government aid, that
the states or local authorities would
furnish any amount equal to that ap-
propriated by the Federal government
and that the total would be divided
among the states, according to popu
lation. The bill would create a road
department, consisting Of engineers and
capable officials to carry out the pro-
ject.
The measure, he explained, was
modelled somewhat after the Virginia
state law.
when the Federal government COM
mences to bear its fair share Of the
burden of improving our public roads,"
said Senator Swanson, that day will
mark the beginning of the end of bad
roads in this nation. The American
nation would be powerless to picture
through the vista of the coming years
the increased health and happiness,
the increased wealth and power and
the great moral and material advance
which come to this republic upon the
Inauguration of this national policy
Mr.. Swanson pointed out that Amer
leans had become the greatest manu-
their mines furnish the world more
than half of it's mineral products and
wealth, their plains and prairies ar"
the graineries of the world. Cotton, lie
the worlds comfort and clothing are
dependent upon the white fields OF the
south"
Our wealth." he continued, rs
greater today than that of any other
nation: we have become supreme! in
finance and foremost in the worlds
commerce; we surpass in money eX-
pended for primary and general edu-
cation and in mileage of railroads,
navigable rivers and improved har-
bors; the story Of our progress reads
more like romance than history" Yet,
he said, no other enlightened people in
the world are cursed with such a
wretched condition of roads with more
than nine tenths of the public roads
and highways in the United States
during rainy seasons almost impassa-
BILE. He read that ii Is estimated that
ninety per cent. of our international
commerce which exceeds the inner
foreign commerce Of the entire world,
must first or last be hauled over the
public roads. The average haul Of this
vast commerce over the public high
ways has been estimated at little
more than nine miles, averaging In
cost 23 cents per ton per mile against
seven cents in France and eleven cents
in England and Germany.
Based on estimates of what he term
ed good authorities, Improvement of
main lines of system of good roads in
this country along methods adopted
abroad would save in hauling more
than $23,OOO,OOO annually to the people
of the United States. This Is what
Senator Swanson calls the mud tax"
paid each year by Americans for haul
ing their products over poor roads.

A Sure Test.-On a pleasant Sun
day afternoon an old German and his
youngest son were seated in the viii
lage inn. The father had partaken
literally Of the home-brewed beer
and was warning his son against the
evils of intemperence. Never drink
too much, my son. A gentleman stops
when he has enough. To be drunk is
a disgrace"
Yes, father, but how can 1 tell
when 1 have enough or am drunk"
The old man pointed with his fin
ger. DO you see those two men sit
ting in the corner? If you should see
four men there, you would be drunk" :"
The boy looked long and earnestly.
Yes, father, but-but-there is only
one man in that corner"

threat made by Stoneman's troopers

the news of President Lincoln's assas-

Burton Harrison in Scribner's. EVERY

son, was that in Lincoln the southern
states had lost their only refuge In
their then emergency. There was no
expression other than that Of surprise
and regret AS yet we knew none OF
the particulars Of the crime"
During the speech made at this
juncture by Mr.. Davis to a column Of
Gen. Basil Dukes cavalry, Mr.. Harri-
son stood close to the speaker and
heard distinctly every word uttered by
him. There was no reference what
ever to the assassination and no other
speech was made. Mr.. Davis remark
to Col. William Preston Johnson in
Mr.. Bates house later on was that
Mr.. Lincoln would have been much
more useful to the southern states
than Andrew Johnson, his successor,
was likely to be" Il myself" said
Mr. Harrison, heard Mr.. Davis ex-
press the same opinion at that period
So much for the oft-quoted charge
against Mr.. Davis that he had on this
occasion spoken approvingly Of the
horrible crime committed by Booth
in the name of the conquered south!
My husband often told me that Of such
spirit, much less an expression, Mr..
Davis could never have been guilty.

reason For Suspieion.--In a country
police court recently a man was
charged with shooting a number of
pigeons, the property of a farmer.
In giving his evidence, the farmer
was so careful that he even seemed
nervous and the solicitor for the de-
fense endeavored to frighten him.
Now" he remarked, ARE you pre-
pared to swear on oath that this man
shot your pigeons?"
Il didn't say he shot them," was
the carefully worded reply. Il said l
suspected him O. doing it."
"Ah, now we're coming to it. What
made you suspect that man?"
We'll, firstly, l caught him on my
land wi a gun. Secondly, heerd a
gun go off, and saw some pigeons in
his pocket-and 1 don't hardly think
