the protection was successful in TO-
695 cases, or 95.01 per cent, the

,hont three years ago the plan was
N Ion before the Roads Commission
y INV the Liberty pike but was turn
.d down and since that time has been
ling dormant. Pressure has been
hronght to bear on the stockholders
n the Ceresville and Liberty Turn
pite Road Company 10 get them to
maize the State an offer for the road.
1 meeting OF the stockholders was
called Oh Tuesday Of last week and af-
Tor much discussion, It was decided
n offer to sell the road to the State.
Those who attended the meeting
would not disclose the exact price at
which il will be offered but it is un-
5erstood that it is. about $1,000 per
mile The road has been built a
number of years and the stockholders
sav that it cost in the neighborhood
If $4,000 a mile to build. 1t is, nine
miles in length.
Ever since the idea of purchasing
the Emmittsburg pike was conceived,
The Roads Commission has been after
the purchase Of the couple Of miles
which leads from the Emmitsburg
bike to Frederick. Several approaches
we're made to the pike company but
their offers we're rejected on the
grounds that the price was too high.
II the pike from Ceresville to Liber-
tv is purchased, It IS likely that an
effort will also be made to buy the
bike from Frederick TO Ceresville
owned by the Frederick and Woods
boro Turnpike Company.
At the meeting last week a MAORI
ty of the stock was represented. The
company has about 1900 shares of
stock. The question OF purchasing
the road will now be taken up before
the Roads Commission. Residents in
the vicinity of Union Bridge and New
Windsor will appoint a delegation to
90 before the Commissioners in con
nection with the representatives of
the two pixies and ask that the roads
be purchased. 1t is likely that a pc
tition from the Carroll countians will
likewise be presented to the Roads
Commission. Just what action will
be taken by the Commission Is not
known. While it is known that the
Commissioners would like to purchase
the stretch to the Emmitsburg pike,
they have not expressed themselves
in regard to the entire road. The
Liberty pike runs through a beauti-
full country and rich farm lands. 1t
is one of the most travelled roads in
the county and is in good condition
If the Commissioners decide to pur-
chase it, another fine road will be
thrown open to the public.

A Fortune for q Favor.

1t certainly pays to be polite and con.
siderate. No one ever lost anything by
being kind and thoughtful. This is nc
mere Sunday school truism, but a prac
teal fact proved by many actual expert
ences in life. The latest item in this line
Is related in dispatch that comes from
Atlanta, Ga. telling the tale Of William
R. O'NeaPs good fortune Four years
ago Mr.. O'Neal while on his way to Florida
made the acquaintance Of a California
man going south for his health O'Neal
had lower berth and the Californian
had drawn an upper. At O'Neals sug-
gestion the two exchanged places the
invalid taking the lower and the young
Georgian the upper. The incident pass
ed out Of ONears mind. The other day,
however, he received substantial proof
that the object of his courtesy had not
forgotten It, He was called upon by
the son Of his former travelling COM
panion. who told him that his father had
died and left a legacy Of $4,000 to the
man who had been consfderate Of a sick
stranger. This Is the most striking in
stance on record. perhaps, Of the practi-
cal value Of Pullman car politeness. II
Is quite sufficient proof Of the fact that
lower berths are worth more than uppers,
which was only recently given effective
establishment in the adoption OF differ
entail rates.

We struggle to succeed

It Is q task that's hardly light
To please each one the while.

Sue wants society,
The sporting page our Bud requires.
Small Mary says that she
Just wants the children's page-that part
That pleases little tads-
And mother reads the heart to heart"
While father reads the ads
On every day we parcel out
The paper, part to each;
Yet some Will frown and some will pout
And some OF hurry preach.
But all today are in a rage
Before the rest were up
One got the paper, every page
1t was the family pup.
