SoIace In Books.

A woman who used to drag through
the day in vainglorious effort to kill
time" was persuaded to take recourse
to a circulating library near at hand.
Until this solution of the time prob
lem was virtually thrust upon her she
was ignorant of books, especially cur
rent editions, as she was of the fourth
dimension, though she had been
something of reader in girlhood days
After forcing herself to wade through
three volumes, the old love of books
lying dormant, suddenly awakened to
renewed activity, and the life Of the
woman, from being one Of many hum
drum days, given to watching the clock
house, has come to be one of an end

to living, and she is anxious to pass

than they can possibly spend.

Caves In Western Australia.

Wonderful caves have been discov.
cred in Western Australia by the Hon.
]. D. Connolly, the colonial secretary.
While visiting in the southwest he e1
plored the Moondine cave, four miles
from Karridale, and found it to be OF
surprising beauty. II have" he says.
"seen all the other caves in Western
Australia, and also the well-known
Jenolan caves of New South Wales.
but l say without hesitation that the
Moondine, which is to be known In
the future as the Coronation cave, far
excels the whole of them. After four
hours exploration, two large beautiful
chambers. which it is proposed to call
King George and Queen Mary, respec,
lively, were discovered. Each Of them
is far superior in beauty to any cavern
in Australia. I am certain from the
conformation of the country that q
cave will be found to contain stall more
beautiful chambers"

THE RESURRECTION.

The first day OF the week
cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when it was yet dark, unto the
sepulchre, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulchre.
Then she runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and
saith unto them, They have
taken away the Lord out of the
sepulchre, and we know not
where they have laid him. Peter
therefore went forth, and that
other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre. So they ran both
together; and the other disciple
did outrun Peter. and came first
to the sepulchre. And he stoop-
ing down, and looking In, saw
the linen clothes lying; yet went
he not in. Then cometh Simon
Peter following him. and went
into the sepulchre, and seeth
the linen clothes lie; and the
napkin, that was about his head,
not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in place
by itself. Then went in also
that other disciple which came
first to the sepulchre, and he
saw, and believed. For as yet
they knew not the Scripture.
that he must rise again from the
dead. Then the disciples went
away again unto their own

Washing Beggars' Feet.
In England. ON 'Maundy Thursday,
there used to prevail a custom for
the sovereign to wash the feet of as
many poor people as corresponded
with the years of his or her life. King
James II. was the last monarch to
regularly perform this service, though
Queen Elizabeth in her thirty-ninth
year washed the feet of thirty-nine Of
her subjects.
Her majesty was attended by an
equal number of ladies and gentle
men. The feet of these poor of the
kingdom were first washed by yeo-
men of the laundry with warm water
and sweet herbs; the queen then
bathed them and made the sign of
the cross on the instep and kissed it.
This ceremony took place at Green
witch palace.

Lost Time.

The late Sylvanus Miller, civil engi-
reer, who was engaged in a railroad
enterprise in Central America, was
seeking to give the matter point. He
asked a native: How long does 1t
take to carry your goods to market by
nuleback?" Three days." was the re-
ply. That's the point said Miller.

take your goods to market and be back

ed by each county would be sufficient
for all road work in that county.
Top-Iayer Of Gravel.
Another very important factor IN
connection with good road constrs:.o-
ton is a layer of gravel for the sur
face. It does not matter whether the
road surface is constructed of black
loan or clay, it becomes intensely
stickey in wet weather. Hence GOV.
ering of gravel should be put on
wherever possible. This need not be
more than eight feet wide and about
four inches thick in the center and
somewhat thinner at the outer edge.
Hence a load of gravel should cover
approximately twelve feet o. length ID
roadway.
After this gravel IL put on 1t should
be run over with the steam roller At
once. This will produce an ideal rosA
surface on most of the prairie roads.
Sand May Be Substituted.
In those places where gravel can
not be obtained except at high price,
sand can be used with black loan and
clay. But the sand in order to pro-
duce good results must be thoroughly
mixed with the dirt. This can best
be done by first using disk harrow
then a common harrow. Enough sand
must 10 used to produce brittle sur
face that will not stick to wheels In
wet weather. After the sand is mixes,
then use the road roller and pack
the roadway. A thin layer Of sand on
the top will then produce good road
Maintenance.
After a dirt road is constructed.
the simplest and the best way to msin-
tain it in good condition is by means
of the King road drag. The best
drag for the purpose is a substantial
adjustable steel drag. Every road
district should have some responsible
party use the drag after every rain
an all main travelled roads.
There will be great deal of road
construction work done in South Da
kota during the next few years. And
the above points as briefly stated are
vital both to good construction and
maintenance. II followed out. they
will produce good results with the
minimum outlay of money.

WRESTLING FANS
ANTICIPATE GOOD
CONTEST TONIGHT
Joe Turner to Take on Jack
Reese, the Western
Middleweight.

Wrestling experts and fans are today
of the opinion that the bout tonight be-
tween Joe Turner. the Washington mid.
dleweight, and Jack Reese, who has
been performing successfully through
out the West this season, will be among
the best contested which Manager Peck
has yet staged.
Press accounts of Reese's work are to
the effect that he puts up clever scrap
and his clean tactics are lauded by all
who have seen him in action. The ma
jority Of Washingtonians are familiar
with the work oil turner, mis- consist
entity clean tactics and the fact that he
adheres to the cleverest methods Of
competition having won a host OF
friends for him throughout the Eastern
section.
The Washington boy has been in con-
stant training for. several months and
every match in which he has partici-
pated has left him in better physical
condition. He is several pounds lighter
than Reese, who just tips the scales al
10 pounds. 1t is thought that George
Porter of Cleveland will challenge the
winner of tonight's encounter.

BUT THREE DAYS
REMAIN TO ENTER
" T|MES-NEWS RACE
No Application Will Be Ac-
cepted After Saturday,
: Midnight.
DETAILS OF RUN TO
BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Athletes Advised to Have Attend
ants Accompany Them Through
the Marathon.

But three more days remain before
the date of closing entries for the
Times-News annual marathon intercity
race from Laurel to Baltimore arrives
and all athletes desirous of going into
the big event should have their blanks
in this office as soon as possible.
, 1t will be up to the athletes between
now and Saturday midnight to deter
mine whether they wish to enter the
race. After Saturday no entries will be
received and no blanks will te given
consideration after that date. 1t has
been thought advisable to place this
ban upon the late entries in order to ia
cilitate the work and to minimize the
labors placed upon the A. A. u. officials,
who have been literally swamped with
applications for registra ton numbers at
the last minute.
Details pertaining to medical exami-
nation and transportation of athletes
on the day of the race will be forth
coming In the near future. II is thought
wise to have a preliminary medical ex-
ANIMATION the first of next week. Those
athletes found unfit to run will be de-
MED the privilege of taking the long
run. Thorough training has been pur-
sued in the majority of cases and the
medical examiners are sure TO have
specially fit number OF runners to look
over.
:, Preparations for the great race have
been long and arduous this year, and
II is thought that the runners will be
better prepared this year than ever be-
fore. For the past three weeks during
the evenings, rain or shine, runners in
Washington and Baltimore have been
taking long and short spins over the
roads and now report in excellent
shape.
Athletes are urged to have attendants
accompany them over the course on the
day of the race. While 1t is not COM
pulsory it is strongly advised. Early
arrangements for the attendants is
urged in order to do away with the
trouble on the day of the race. Runners
often need attention during a long grind
and the competing athletes are advised
to find some attendant to take care of
them through the race.

Amateur baseball players find today
that the iron clad rule of the amateur
commission relative to signing more

forced and that those who fail to live
up to the rules will find themselves
barred from participation in the games.
The commission is receiving congrat-
ulations today following action taken at
meeting last night which disposed OF
a number of cases Of players alleged
to have violated the rule of the COM
mission in regard to signing more than
one contract. Evidence was furnished
in one of two cases which showed that
existing conditions at the time of sign
ng contracts warranted signing more
than one contract.
