IN MEM0RlAM

JOHNSON-In sad but loving remembrance
of our darling RUTH, who departed this
life one year today.
Heaven retaineth now her treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our darling Ruth sleeps.
How the music Of her voice
Made my happy heart rejoice,
And her bright and smiling face
Was the sunshine Of the place,
She Is not dead, but sleepeth;
Oh, what a comfort to know
That she whom We loved so fondly
HIS passed from all sorrow below.
Guarded and kept by the Saviour,
Victor over death and the grave.
/ know Ruth is sweety sleeping
In Jesus the mighty to save.

Aunts

Tells about the Perfect
Roads III France and
England.

An audience Of men and women
earnestly seeking latest ana best
knowledge OF the science of road
building heard the Honorable John
Basel Thursday nigh In the First
Presbyterian church tell about the
good roads OF France and England.
Mr.. Basel delivered the lecture by
request OF the womap's Civic Club,
which had charge Of the meeting.
Neither the club nor those attend
ing the meeting were sorry that Mr..
Basel consented to give the lecture.

Smith made short talk after the
conclusion Of the lecture.
Discussing the roads Of France
with which He made himself quite
familiar during his several trips
abroad, Mr. Bassel stated that We do

elevation above the water line In low
country, the absence Of streams across
the roads, the use OF tunnels instead
OF going around hills. the smooth,i
ness Of the surface Of the roads, the
gradual grades and the ease with
which loads are hauled were pointed
out by Mr. Basel as some of the
main features OF the roads of France,
and In addition shade trees 1inina

Basel stated, add beauty to them
and make them even more comfort

obstruction has. What the bureau
says in reference to the roads of
France is the same as law.
While Mr. Basel had been over
many of the roads of England, he
stated that he had not given them
as much study as he had those of
France. However, he stated that he
found the same kind of roads in Eng
land as France has.
Mr.. Basel expressed the opinion
that this ountry never would have
modern roads until road bureau
such as France has is put into opera
ton. He commended the efforts of
certain states, however, along the line
of making good roads, especially
Pennsylvania, where the movement
is given annual state aid.
Speaking of West Virginia and Har-
rison county in particular. the lee
turer deplored the fearfully bad roadE
and declared that much of the road

expenditure is wasted on account Of
the system employed. He urged
scientific road building and to ac-
complish that he stated that experts
must be in charge OF the roads.
The lecture aroused much deeper
interest in the road question, and il
is to be .egretted that those who have
the roads Of the county in charge were
not present.

Music Lesson on Baa.Pipes.

A highland piper who had q pupil to
teach originated a method by which,
says a writer in Blackwood's Maga-
zine, he succeeded in reducing the
difficulties of the task to a minimum
and at the same time fixed his lesson
in the pupils mind.

France that gastronomy owes many a
dish whose very name betrays an CO.
stasy.
The. famous French gastronomist,
the Marquis de Cussy, was orthodox
in his gastronomy, for he fed we'll, but
needed the church. His favorite soup
in Lent was an onion soup, composed
of a score of small bulbs, well cleans
ed, sliced and put In stewpan with a
lump of fresh butter and little su-
gar They were turned over the fire
until they became moistened with
broth, and the necessary quantity of
bread added. Before the soup was
! served it's excellence was perfected by
the addition of two small glasses of
very old cognac brandy. This Lent
fare, however, was only the preface to
salmon and asparagus, with which the
orthodox epicure mortified his appe-
tite
The Marquis de Cussy was fond of
red partridges, one of which he ate on
the day of his death, after a six
months illness. 1t was his last act,
and in gastronomic annals it is re-
corded with the same wonder, love and
awe as Nelson's calling for sealing wax
amid the thunders Of Copenhagen is
noticed by the biographers of naval
heroes.
Cardinal Fesch loved blackbirds, and
his dinners at Lyons were reverenced
for the excellence and variety Of these
dishes. The birds were sent him week.
ly from Corsica. They were served
with great form, and none who dined
off them forgot the flavor, (which
melted along his palate" The cardi-
nal used to say it was like swallowing
paradise and that the smell Of his
cooked blackbirds alone was enough to
revivify half the defunct in his do
cese.
Monseigneur Coutris de Quincy,
Bishop Of Belley, was exceedingly fond
Of the stalks Of asparagus, and on be-
ing informed that a head of asparagus
had just pierced the soil, the cardinal
and his convives rose from the table,
visited the spot and were lost in ad-
miration at what they saw. Day by
day the bishop watched the growth OF
the delicious giant. His mouth wa
tered when he looked at 1t, and happy
was the day when he took it from the
ground with his own hands. When he
did so, however, he found to his dis
appointment that he held q wooden
counterfeit, admirably turned and
painted by Canon Rosset, who was fa-
nous for his artistic abilities and his
practical jokes. The joke on this oc-
sion was taken in good part, and the
counterfeit asparagus was admitted to
the honor of lying on the bishops ta-

guests wondered at the rarities OF
which they partook. There was every
thing that gastronomy could think of,
except mutton, an exception in favor
of the divine Ammon with the RAM

plum pudding were not lacking, for
these delicacies were as popular in
Thebes as was the broiled and salted
goose, with the good brown stout, and
strong barley wine to cheer the
spirits and assist the digestion.
Peter the Great loved, and most
frequently ordered for his own special
enjoyment, a soup with four cabbages

A Cruel Allusion.-Representative
Sherley of Kentucky, apropos Of his
pure food and drugs bill, told in
Washington to the Post, story about
a milk adulterator
This chap is a millionaire" he
said. He has made his millions out
of the milk trade. Last summer he
decided to give a bal masque at his
magnificent country house.
Discussing the bal masque with an
aristocratic old lady-she was the
guest of honor Of a large house party
the millionaire said:
81 don't know whether to go my
self to the ball as Louis XIV. OF
Shakespeare. What do you adviser
THE aristocratic old lady put heI
tortoise shell lorgnette on her high
bridged and. aristocratic nose, and
looked the millionaire milkman slow

Her Check.-She was brisk and full
of business, as she hustled into the
bank, indorsed a check and then hand
ed II in at the window.
You see, I've indorsed it and come
to the right window the very first
time" she said, with a beamins smile
I'VE women are getting to know a
little bit about banking"
That's very true, indeed, madam
said the teller, but this check is not
signed by any one"
well, just got it from my husband
He's in Chicago. Here's his letter
telling that he is enclosing it."
That's all good enough, madam, but
the check itself must be signed"
Here's the name on the letter. Can't
you cut it on and paste it on the
check?"
1t took the teller some time to ex-
plain, and he still wonders if she
doesn't think he just didn't want hel
to have the money-Boston Adver'

PATHS Terms.-Once the old-time
minstrel magnate, Colonel Haverly
had the ambition to become an i'm
presario. He called on Patti at her
hotel in New York, sent in his card
and was graciously received.
Madame" said Haverly, Il should
like to secure you for a tour of this
country, if we can arrange terms"
For concert or for opera?" asked
the diva.
For concert" Haverly responded.
We'll, for how many nights do you
want me?" Patti asked.
Sixty, at least.
Z. II will sing for you for sixty nights
for $4,000 and the usual allowance
for expenses-one-h of this amount
to be deposited with the Rothschilds
on the signing of agreements" was
PATHS ultimatum.
But, my dear madam" he said
that is nearly five times as much as
we pay our president for an entire
year"
WELL" said Patti, why do you not
engage the president to sing for you?'

The young man led him across the

important to say to him. Arrived IT
a corner, the stranger whispered ir
the politicians ear:
"I am on the staff Of an evening pa
per, and I should like you to tell me
what you think Of the situation in the

Mr.. Dash looked a little puzzled al
first, then he said:

And leading the way, he walked
through the reading room, down some
steps into the drawing room, through
a long passage into the dining room
and drawing his visitor into the corner
behind the hatrack. he whispered:
