branch roads running up minor val
leys and circling hills which sheltered
outlaws and desperadoes.
This fine work was executed be-
tween the years 1899 and 1901 by reg
iments of Highland militia. With the
exception of the level in one valley
called Glenmacnass the engineer was
not enabled to take advantage OF
single vale. AS a rule the glens in
these mountains run from east to
west. while the direction Of the road
is from north to south, hence the
latter keeps for nearly the whole dis
lance a solitary mountain course at
the height of 1000 or 100 feet above
the sea and but seldom descends to
any of the valleys.
The road was most skilfully en-
gineered as regards gradients in order
to render it passable for artillery
There are but few parts Of it which
are not rideable by the cyclist mount
ed on a machine equipped with three
speeds. That the work was effected
In the most durable manner is clear
from the fact that although very little
has been spent on maintenance during
the last half century, the road still
presents through boys and morasse'
a smooth and level surface and sub
stratum perfectly strong and wei
rounded.

Our presidents have an extraordinary

magnanimity by naming their political

CELEBRATES TOOTH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Samuel Sipe, Of Carlisle, Pa, At

perance In All Things.

Carlisle, Pa-Entertaining friends
and acquaintance here recently. Mrs.
Samuel Sipe of Carlisle, girl friend
Of Molly Pitcher" the heroine OF
Monmouth, celebrated her one hun
dredth birthday. Mrs. Sipe was born
in Switzerland October 5, 1912, and
came to this country when she was
six years old. She crossed the ocean
In a sailing vessel, which took about
six weeks to make the trip, landing
in Philadelphia, where she lived one
year before coming to Carlisle. Mrs.
Sipe lived here ninety-three years ago.
Retaining all her faculties with the
exception Of her sight, which is slowly
failing, Mrs. Sipe today is in good
health. She said she expected to live
several years longer. When told that
a few friends were coming to see her
she exclaimed:
What for? I'm no curiosity. I'm
only an ordinary human being.
Mrs. Sipe attributes her long life
and good health to temperance in al
things, especially In eating.
