The Rush

"Oh, l never will get this Christ

stenographer, impatiently, as she
hastily threw her notebook into a
drawer and grabbed materials to an

tic. This is the 'steenth time I've
barely got it started when some one
wants to write his friend that he en-
Joyed the dinner he took with him

1aVor-which he never even read
throughput though he can do abso-
lutely nothing for him he begs, most
ardently to remind him that-and so
on! Huh! Talk about women gush-
ing!"
The bookkeeper turned an apprecia-
tive countenance toward her and pre-
pared to listen.
"Oh, buzz on" she exclaimed cross
ly, as the summons became still more
imperative. I'm engaged for a while
yeti" And she snapped a rubbed
band across the buzzer to deaden the
noise.
Actually, there aren't ten letters a
day that are absolutely necessary"
she declared. There's a lot of fol-
derol, that passes back and forth, and
gets filed as business, though it is
simple waste of time and postage
When the men receive the letters
they realize what rubbish they are
and laugh at them. But when they
get started debating they like the
sound of their own voices!

"They all know that they'll decide

pretend to the man to whom they
write that the matter really interests
them and that they're really going to
discuss it. and think it over, when
they know they aren't even going to
look at it again! And they pretend

"Why," and she gave her notebook
an angry fling, this thing here, I
warrant has about one page in ten
filled with business that needed to
be transacted! The rest is gush and
| affectation! And yet the men pride
themselves on their quickness and
their lack of red tape and their abil-
ity to cope with big situations. And
you won't find one man in a dozen
who doesn't make supercilious re-
marks about detail and say that he
hasn't time to attend to that-that's
what he keeps clerks for!
81 heard Mr.. Brown this morning
tell his wife over the phone that he
simply couldn't get home to her lun-
cheon, he was so busy-his desk was
simply piled with work He was very
sorry, but business had to come be-
fore pleasure and she'd please make
his excuses to the guests and so on
all that rot.
"Well, expected a busy day when
/ heard that and so l prepared for
rapid dictation. Well, what did 1
get? To one man he wrote that the
matter was on his desk and as soon
as he had time he'd look it over and
write him in detail, which he begged
leave to trust was satisfactory! And
to another he wrote that business, as
he very likely knew, wasn't what it
might be, and therefore he wouldn't
be able to go into the matter, but we
might in some months time-per-
haps-with which he trusted he might
sign himself very sincerely And to
another that he was in doubt as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of taking out such
and such a paper, just at present, but
after due consideration he would
write him further, and he desired,
with great gusto, to subscribe him
self his obliged friend And so on
through the whole list! Why, there
wasn't a letter that couldn't have
been done away with altogether, let
alone being put off until after his
wife's luncheon!
But all those letters made him
think he was a very busy man and
I've no doubt that he thinks he's in
dispensable to the company!
Some day I'm going to run off a
lot of form letters, saying that I'm
very sorry, but l haven't yet had time
to look into the matter, but will write

If we are not able to afford

are narrow. worn out and wash

ell valleys, keep off steep hills
when possible. If a hill must be
crossed. go up gradually so the
rise in no place will be more than
a or . # to the 100 fit in length.
A turnpike up a steep hill is
worse than a dirt road nine
months in the year. We already
have too many rocky hills to pull.
If a bond issue were voted, it
would be hurry and cash the
bonds. Hurry and let the con-
tracts. Hurry and put down the
rock. Things done in a hurry
are never done well, and possibly
there would be but little prepa-
ration made before rocks would
be dumped in the roads just as
they are now and it would be al.
most a waste of money.
The automobile is another seri-
Gus barrier in the way of con.
structing new turnpikes. 1t has
been thought for ages that after
a road was piked it would last
forever. Not so now. The au.
to with it's rubber tires of a
sticky or elastic touch spinning
around faster than the eye can
count. creating a suction like a
vacuum cleaner or small cyclone
kicks rocks and gravel like a
rough shod mule and in 5 years
time digs ruts and gullies in the
pike till it is unfit for travel.
The rock blown away and gone,
repairs are almost as expensive
as first cost. Counties in Mo. |
N. Y. and other parts Of the
country have issued bonds. built
pixies and autos destroyed them
before bonds matured, leaving
people to pay bonds and also to
build roads again.
The Government now has ex-
perts at work trying to perfect
some plan of matchmaking that
will stand the a vi o. Ha DIN
the county better wait till the
question is settled and then go
ahead. Another objection. The
county is not able to pike all the
roads and to pike a few would
cause envy and discord in parts
of the county not benefited by |
the pike. !
If we could exchange our mar
row, hilly, rough and rocky |
roads for wide, level dirt roads |
well graded up, we would be as
proud of them as small boy is
of his first pair of new boots.
Such a thing could be brought
about and of necessity come be
fore we can ever lay claim to re-
spectacle roads. Instead of is
suing 100000 or 100000 in
bonds to build pixies. | want to
propose an issue of $25. 900 in
bonds to buy new rights of way |
and construct new dirt roads,

lodges as far as possible and
where it is absolutely necessary

others 80 and 40 feet wide. Our
roads at present call for Is. 20
