Highway

In New York the, motorists have
seized upon the suggestion made long
ago In The virginian that the best
way to obtain better highways Is to
bring suits against town, city, county
or State for failing to maintain roads
properly.
An automobiles is promptly brought
to book II his machine causes any
damage. The motorist consequently
will do well to bring to book any
party---party of the first part or party
of the second-that causes any dam
age to his machine.
Anyway, here Ia o little item from
New York that may prove interesting
to Virginia motorists.

against the city because when he

road and the darkness--ft was al

negligence or carelessnesa. Consid-
ering the condition Of the road for
which certainly the notorist was not
responsible, Is what will interest auto

There's "a psychological effect in
making people wait for you" said the
girl who likes to talk, meditatively.
IF you will stop to think of the
people who have kept you waiting
you will realize that under all your
evaporation Is a deep admiration for
their power causing you to do some
thing you dislike doing They are
your masters in that respect and you
know 1t. You may have a fine char
aCter and a nice soul and all that,
but they're smarter than you are!
80, hereafter I'm going to change
my tactics. I'm going to reform.
1t will take some effort, but l shall
deliberately refrain from starting out
anywhere till half an hour after
should have gone and I'll use the time
to improve my mind. How many
volumes of history do you suppose
l could get through in that time if
good gracious"
The girl who likes to talk was

sounds.

NYHOW," said the girl who

* A NNHOW, said the girl VINO
~ likes to talk, i've come to
the conclusion that l have
wasted several years of my life being
on time I've just awakened to the
fact that usually l sit around walt
ing for other people.
Take Fannie McCrudden, with
whom l went to school. That girl
was so slow that her getting up in
the morning intertered with her going
to bed the night before. She would
meet herself going when she was
coming back from an errand
Altogether Fanny would surely
have tried the patience OF a saint.
Apparently she did not know that the
English language contained such a
word as hurry. Her every movement
was languorous and leisucely. Plain
spoken people called her lazy If they
didn't care what they said.
Somebody was always doing the
things Fanny should have done be
cause she was six laps behind, and
the rest Of the world couldn't walt
for her. | can hear the teachers now
telling Fanny all the things that
would happen to her when she got
out in the world because she vas 10
slow They didn't exactly say she
would be hanged for horse stealing
but her fate, they were sure, was to
be about on a par with that.
We all pitied Fanny when we
weren't being mad at her for spelling
things by being late
We felt somewhat as we might
have felt if she had been afflicted
with a huge nose or cast eye or
some trouble she could not help. We
never noticed that she was ire
mendously pretty with 1t all to SO
overwhelming an extent did her one
defect obscure her attractions in our
eyes.
We'll, the last day of school Fanny
had not started to get dressed in
time and was late and couldn't march
in with the graduating class-and as
at last she daintily picked her way
across the campus, unmindful of t.
fact that the dean by this time was
delivering his farewell to US. Fanny
ran across the rich young man from
New York who was visiting in the
town and he was so fascinated by the
Glow lift of her eyelashes that he was
crazy for an Introduction.
Now, Fanny has three huge houses
in town and the country, ten auto
mobiles and a diamond chain THAI all
her friends speak of with awe.
That's what she received as a re-
ward for nineteen years of a life
spent in making people lose their
