TROUBLE WITH THE FAT MAN
conduetor and Motorman Were Ad-
vlsed How to Put Him or the
Street Car.

A large man, weighing about 20t
pounds, who had imbibed freely
enough to be somewhat unsteady Oh
his legs, boarded Brooklyn car the
otner evening. The sudden starting OF
the car caused him to fall against the
iron railing, and in so doing he ripped
his coat. This unfortunate circum-
stance, combined with the laughter oi
the passengers, angered him, and he
sullenly seated himself somewhere
about the center of the car
Upon being asked by the conductor
for Fare, please" he refused to pay.
"If you don't pay l will put you
off, said the conductor.
Go aheadl" said the man.
The conductor attempted to make
good his threat, but as he was a small
man, found it impossible to bulge
the two-hundred-odd pounds before
him. Then he called on the motor
man for assistance.
The motorman took hold on one
side, the conductor on the other. They
half dragged, half lifted, the man
toward the door All this time he did
not utter a word. Suddenly, however,
he convulsed the other passengers
with the remark:
BE careful, now. No more force
than absolutely necessary"

the road houses" that have been so
harmful in many localities where
they are allowed.
There has been no ordinance al
lowing saloons in Richfield, SO the
board had nothing to act ON from
this locality 1t is understood that
an application has been filed for a
wholesale license here, but if the
board refuses to grant these any
where, such an application would b
denied, whatever the municipal au
thorities might sanction 1t is not
believed that there will be enough
business in Richfield to warrant a
retail saloon, so the town will be
as dry as ever, SO far as the open
sale of liquro is concerned.
The commissioners meet next weel
as board of equalization for real
property assessments, and will re-
main in session three weeks. Any
one who is dissatisfied with the
assessment of his real property can
appear before the board and protest
1t will have to be done now, how
ever, as the new law makes nopro-
vision whatever for any abatement

gone before the board at the July

Road Machines and Bridges
Plenty of Extra Work Promised for All the Farmers of
the Richfeld Tract. Constructing Roads, Etc. with
Compensation in Good Old Coin of the Realm

The Highway commission has
bought two heavy road graders for
use on the roads of the Richfield
tract. One is a Case machine, the
other an Austin; both are 7-foot cut
and will be operated by to 8
horses, the latter number when any
thing like heavy work is to be done.
There is nothing better in the mar
ket than these two machines. The
district has also acquired enough
sip scrapers and fresnoes to handle
ali the work that will need to be
done at this time. All the stuff
will be here within a few days ready
lor service.
The Iirst of hte stone culverts, on
cne road a mile west of town, and
crossing the coulee between the
Phelps and Mccarthy lands, is fin
lsned and ready for inspection. 1t
is really a work of art, and being
set clear down to bed rock, promises
20 be serviceable for several genera
eions. 1t has been built for very
little money, too; the culvert and
all the heavy grading on both sides
"a grade of almost four feet had
TO be thrown up to make the road
what it should be-has cost only a.
bout 500. 1t is believed that the
average cost of the similar culver,s
on the tract will be considerably
less, as this one required SO much
more grading than most of them
will
Work has been begun on a stone
culvert to replace the zig-zag bridge
across the coulee half a mile north
OF town. 1t will be set straight with
the compass, in the middle of the
road, and will do away with the
old back-breaking turn. The whole
road north of town, for the first
two miles has been plowed up, ready
for the grading machine to start
work to throw up the highway in tn
center. 1t is expected that this will
be pretty dusty highway for the
summer, unless a good rain should
come out of season after it is com
pleted and settle it down away from
its normal dusty possibilities. But
after the fall rains, it will be the
finest road in this section of Ida
no. The bumps and crooks are to
be taken out of it, and it will be
as straight and even in grade as
one could imagine
A movement is on foot here in
town to ask to have the road re-
opened down the railroad southwest
of town, through the railroad yards
that were closed to wagon travel
year or more ago. 1t is pointed out
that for those who may be in the
south part of town, and who live
southwest of town, it is a half mile
nearer to get home by going ba k
down the railroad line, than to
come up to the road past the hotel
and then have to drive straight west
to get out.
Another suggestion is that road /
be opened straight south of town,
to connect with the Dietrich tract.
While there are few people living
down that way who would now be |
partons of the Richfield tract, it is
believed that some day there will |
be considerable settlement there;
indeed, there might be such settle
ment now, if there were a road in

WHAT MAKES A BOOK LIVE
Creation Is the Soul of Literature
 Says A. Maurice Low

What constitutes the vital in the literature of imagination? What is the indescribable power that makes one book great and another common place? Not style, not plot not analy- sis. Neither Thackeray or Dickens is master of style; neither is strikngly original in plot; but both live. The answer to the question that has so often perplexed writer and reader who attempt to find the source of the mysterious power that eludes discov- cry but reveals itself in a great book is to be found in one word-creation.
 The vital in literature-the litera- ture of imagination-is originality. Not the meretricious originality of trick or dialect or forced contrast; not the sOrdid parade of vice OF the refinement of virtue; not the Haunt
 ing of passion or the Subjecting of emotion-these do not constitute ori- ginality as the test applied to litera- tUre. Originality - creation - means something more than a mere catalog of motives. It means the power to create reproductive type; to visual
 ize. life; to project on the screen of existence d figure that is immediately

 The program contains the latest hits in popular music. practically all right, whose buoyant swing is only tempered by the pleasing ballad Add to these the careful training of the club and the touches of postoffice humor and local color and there will surely be a performance that will bear repeating.
