sengers all that distance for three
cents"
The mayor refused to be drawn into
any controversy with z. A. Burch, who
was quoted at length in The Times,
Thursday.
II know Mr. Bnrch," he said, "and
no doubt he thinks he is right, but |
am not defending the ordinance, only
explaining II. But | have not yet
heard one argument against it that
couldn't be answered"
Opponents of the Thompson ordi.
nance in the common council are posi-
tive that Aid. HARPER will not be
able to muster enough votes, Tuesday
light. TO suspend the rule requiring
the ordinance TO lie on the table 80
days. II is likely that Corporation
Counsel Hally will be called on for an
opinion, at that time, as to whether
the ordinance comes under this rule.
He has given an off-hand opinion that
1t does not, but was not prepared,
Friday morning, to answer the ques-
tion definitely.

THE LATEST man
IS FOUND At LAST
FOR TWELVE WHOLE YEARS THIS
WEARY MAN HAS STAYED
IN HIS BED.
IS AN inmate OF P00RH0USE
With an Appetite That Would Shame
a Goat John Muncia Spends His
Existence in eed-Laughs At Any
Suggestion Of Work.

Jerseyville, Ill.-John Muncia is the
LATEST man on earth. Furthermore
he is proud of his somewhat degrading
distinction. For the last IL years he
has lain on his bed in the Jersey coun-
ty poorhouse, eight miles from Jersey
vile, and replied to every command
that he arise and work with peals Of
weird laughter. Physicians have ex-
amined him time and time again and
they declare that he is free from any
infirmity that would incapacitate him
from active work.
Now an old man probably seventy
one years of age he admits that he
was born in Indiana at some point
which he calls below Fort Wayne"
and that his father died when he was
eleven years of age. Beyond this he
refuses to be interviewed and usually
answers his questioners with a burst
of gleeful laughter.
He simply is an excellent example
of what strength of character will &C.
complish for man. Since the day
IL years ago that he made up his mind
to keep to his bed he has made that
his one object in life with the result
that he has succeeded, perhaps, even
beyond his early expectations. For a
time the poorhouse officials tried to
force him from bed by refusing to
bring his meals to him but John. un-
perturbed, simply giggled, turned his
face to the wall, and waited. After a
time the poorhouse people were van.
pushed and forced to bring him food
for fear that he would starve to death.
He is small, slender man with a
clean-cut intellectual looking face, yet
his appetite has been unimpaired by
his long stay in bed. He demands
his three meals a day and upon get
ting them eats every crumb that is
handed to him. His average meal
would put to rout the most husky
farmland, yet his limbs are shrunken
from disuse.
. The only physical exercise that this
LATEST of men permits himself is the

anything, of how the road should be
built, and when 1t is finished 1t Is
usually about half as good as 1t ought
to be and has cost nearly twice as
much as it should, for let 1t be said
again and again that the greater part
of the taxes raised for highways Is
frittered away by misdirected effort.
An eminent engineer, who has had ex-
tended experience, says at least sixty
per cent of the funds raised for high
ways is wasted. Certainly the waste
is at least one-half. This being the
case, it follows that one Of the first
things to do is to stop this awful
waste and see that dollars worth of
road results from every dollar ex-
pended, instead of forty to fifty cents
worth. It ought to be clear that it is
very important that roads should be
constructed under expert supervision,
and that capable road engineer is
needed OF course it is not practical
to have this and build tho roads piece

HAD Been SILENT SUFFERER
Subordinate Officer the Recipient Of
Hints Intended for His
Superior.

A sea captains wife tells this story
Of maiden woman, sister Of one of
the owners of the ship on which she
once made long voyage. She had
very decided opinion on most matters,
and she and the captain had many
spirited arguments at the dinner table.
The captains wife, meek, submis-
s1ve little soul, fearing that In the
heat of argument her husband might
say something to offend their august
passenger, was in the habit of kick
ing him on the shins to hint at moder-
alton. Nevertheless, all these remind
ers passed unheeded.
One day she administered a more
rigorous kick than usual, and noticed
an expression of pain fit across the
face of the mate. who sat opposite
her.
"Oh, Mr.. Brown, was that your
shin?" she asked.
Yes, Mrs. Blaikie," said the mate,
