Now He Writes leoibIy,

A .wellknown musician who writes very illegible hand once sent an unusually hopeless scrawl to a friend. The latter studied it a minute, gave it up in despair. and then sat down and wrote in reply. T shall be most happy to dine with you tomorrow at six. Kind regards to your wife. Yours, etc" In less than half an hour his friend appeared. breathless, at his door. There's some misunder- standing" said he. anxiously. T wrote you a note asking if you could play the piano part of the trio at Browns recital. and here you've sent me an acceptance Of dinner invitation: I'm sorry. but I didn't invite you to dinner!" Well" returned the other blandly. T didn't suppose you'd really sent me an invitation to dinner. But l couldn't read word of your note, and in that case hereafter I mean al. ways to take il for granted that you're asking me to dine" For one of his correspondents, at least, the offender now writes legibly.

5000 Miles of Railroad Ties

Some idea of what the maintenance of a railroads line means may be gathered from the fact that in the year just passed a total of ,9S3, ,296 new ties have been laid on the New York, New Haven and Hartford system In the previous year the number of ties laid was ,649, ,23l. The l,9s3, ,296 ties laid last year, if placed end to end, would reach across the continent.
 The average life of an untreated railroad tie has been estimated by some authorities 10 be about seven wears. While the deteoriation of a cross lie is due in part to the wear of the rails, about D per cent of it is caused by the decay of the wood itself. To prevent this decay method has been devised of treating ties with a ereosote preparation, which, il is now estimated, will insure them against decay for period of twenty-five years or more.

The Men Behind the Mills

In recent edition of the New York Evening Post appeared an article on "The Men Behind the Mills.u It con- tains a sketch of Frank A. Sayles of Pawtueket, who owns the Putnam Light X Power Company; also the French River Textile Cempany's mill, Mechanicsyille. These, however, are only small portion of the varied in- dastries he controls. The article says.
 Frank A. Sayles, of Pawtucket, K. r., Is probably one of the busiest living mottals and the most nervous. No one seems to know him intimately and he is not in public mo- tice often. He sticks to his office and works. He Is never at conventions or other public gatherings. He does not fool with politics. His father left some money to him and he has done the rest. One of his first activities was the establishment of the Slater Trust Company. Then he branehed out He has the Sayles Bleachery at; Pawtuck- ct. This is the biggest bleaching and finishing concern in New England.

News of the State

Rockyille@The harvesting of cu- height, and teams may be seen daily drawing loads of "cukes' to the point agreed upon between the growers and the pickle factory, which is located on West Main street at the blacksmith shop of George B. Milne. The yield will be much larger than last season, as--the acreage has been greatly in- creased. The growers in the towns of Vernon, Ellington and Holland cart the cucumbers in bags containing 200 or 500 each, according to the size. A number of growers bring in as many as 20,000 to a load. The Silver Lane Pickle Company runs a large automo- bile truck day and night carting the cucumbers to it's plant in East Hart ford. In addition to loading at Mines blacksmith shop, another loading point has been established at the farm of Fritz Luginbuhl. on the road to Ellington, that being the most central place for the growers in that section. This is the third year of cucumber growing in this section and it is prov ing very profitable for the farmers, as good prices are paid. The soil in this section seems to be just adapted to cucumbers and the Silver Lane Pickle Company get much of its product from Holland county farms.
