WRITER'S cRAMP, MIsNoMER
Merely Case Of Inability Of an Over.
Tired Brain to Signal the
Muscles.

acknowledgement tests by scien-
lists at the London hospital show that
writer's cramp" and other similar
states Of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due, not to the firing OF
the muscles, but to brain flag.
1t appears that the particular part
of the brain which controls special
combinations Of muscle-action, such as,
the movements of writing or the work
In gcf a telegraph KEY, tend to be-
come more quickly exhausted in some
individuals than in others. Such ex-.
haustlon leads to state in which the
brain is actually unable to send out
its necessary messages to the hands
and fingers to write. tap . key, hold
a violin bow, and SO forth. Further

their energy.
Heretofore 1t has been supposed that;
all troubles of the kind were due SIM
ply to overtiring OF the muscles con-
cerned.

Merely Hint.

The fat man had ordered his dinner
and had waited long enough. He had
read tho want ads In the newspaper,
and had even glanced at the prices
In the white sales of various depart
ment stores. He grew hotter and
sorer. and then called the head wal
ter.
What can I do for you, sir?" asked
the head waiter.
Call bellboy," said the fat man.
The head waiter called bellboy
and awaited instructions.
"Mr. Head Waiter" said the fat
man, "can you tell me the name Of
the waiter that took my order?"
"Why, his name is Caleb Short. +"
was the reply.
"Kid," said the fat man to the bell
boy, "here is a dollar. Please go and

somewhere about the hotel. Page
him. and page him for the dollars

The 1rishman who appeared before

specific enough in his answers to suit
the court. He left entirely too much to
the imagination. the magistrate after

At one point in his testimony he
told of a vicious attack by the dog up

his neighbours yard on business. He
described how the dog growled and
came at him, and how he fed. and
how his wife screamed, not forgetting
the details in the setting.

A BAND CONCERT.

Buffalo (Mo.) Record. Those who
were fortunate enough to be present
at the band concert at the M. E.
church last Friday night were greatly
delighted by the entertainment, and,
notwithst anding the severity of the
weather a large crowd was present
and enthusiastically manifested an in
terest in the entire program.
Aside from the most excellent music
renderd by the band there were some
who assisted in the, entertainment
who deserve special mention. Mr..
Robert Parker rendered cornet solo
which was highly complimented.
Mr.. Parker is fast coming to the front
as one of the leading cornet players in
this part of the state.
Miss Ruby Lake did herself much
credit b. rendering violin solo which
was greatly appreciated by the audi
ence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray DarDy sang q
song which was rendered in their
usual happy manner and was very
pleasing to the audience.
Mrs. Roscoe O'Bannon, who is re-
cognized by all a. one of Buffals's
most entertaining singers, highly
pleased the audience with solo.
The orchestra received many favor
able comments for their excellent
music rendered at the concert.

ed with loose dirt and after every rain
will retain considerable moisture that
will tend to destroy the road surface.
Whereas the wheels on a steam roller
will produce q smooth surface that
" i'll act as q perfect watershed. At
the same time the road will be so solid
that every man with heavy load will
seek the center of the roadway at once
instead of the usual custom of trying
to avoid newly constructed roads. One
steam roller owned by each county
would be sufficient for all road work
in that county.
Top Layer of Gravel. Another
very important factor in connection
with good road construction is layer
of gravel for the surface. 1t does not
matter whether the road surface is
constructed of black loan or clay, it
becomes intensely sticky in wet
weather. Hence a covering 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 IN length of roadway.
After this gravel 10 put on it should be
run over with steam roller at once.
This will produce an ideal roadsurfa ce
on most of the prairie roads.
Sand May be substituted. - In
those places where gravel cannot be
OBJ tanned except at high price, sand
can be used both with black loan and
clay. But the sand in order to pro-
duce good results must be thoro ugh ly
mixed with the dirt. This can best
be done by first using a disc harro "
and then common harrow. Enough
sand must be used to produce brittle
|surface that will not stick to wheels
in wet weather. After the sand is
mixed then use the road roller andpack
the surface
Maintenance. After dirt road is
CONSTRUCTED the simplest and the best
way to maintain it in good con iition
lis by means of the King road drag.
The best drag for this purpose is a
substantial adjustable steel drag.
Every road district should have some
responsible party use the drag after
every rain on all main travelled roads.
There will be great deal of road coL-
strucioa work done IN South u akota
during the next few years. And the
above points as already stated are
vital both to good construction and
maintenance. If followed out they
will produce good results with the
minimum outlay of money.

NEW RAVENS FUTURE
 FINANCING AFFECTED
By Prohibition of Its Sale of Ontario
 and Western Stock.

New Haven, Conn.,, April S.-The failure of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads sale of the On tario and Western control to the New York Central will have some effect on the future financing of the New Haven company. Under the terms of the pro- posed sale the New Haven corporation would have received from the New York Central for the controlling On tario and Western shares the sum of SIS, 10S, 397, in a single four per cent. long time debenture of the purchasing corporation. The debenture could have been made the basis of a collateral trust loan sub divided and sold for about the same amount of cash. The 291,6S2 shares representing Ontario and Western control now remain in the treasury of the New Haven cor poration, subject to the earning of dividends. instead of having the amount of the present dividends prac- tically guaranteed by the New York Central In the form of interest on the purchase debenture bonds.
 The New Haven road owns 82 shares of the preferred stock and 291, 500 shares of the common stock of the Ontario and Western, while the Cen tral owns only 10 shares of the pre- ferred stock. The Central asked for authority to purchase all of the stock owned by the New Haven road, agree ing to pay $13,1OS,S97 by issuing it's 50 year debenture bonds for that amount, bearing s5SS.S32 interest, payable an nually.
 The New Haven road owns a bare majority of the total stock issued, namely, $29 164.000 as against a mi nority interest of s28,95S,9SS, the differ ence being only $210,017
