 There was one case, however. in which stallholder made good his claim An old soldier named Allen obtained from George II a grant of land where Apsley House now stands. He put up a little hut there and sold apples.

MAKING "RoAD" WIIILE THE SUN SHINES

Familiarity, in truth. doth breed contempt. Things which look good at a distance often do not stand the wear Of close association. As is often said, the glimmer wears off.
 And nothing makes the glimmer dis appear/as fast as work. When there is no labor connected with the subject, the test of familiarity more often is withstood. but when the essence of work enters into the proposition the contempt enters with it and the glim- mer aforementioned goes aglimmering.
 Good roads in the state of Alabama have probably been the innocent cause of more hot air and mental and ora torica1 ability than any one matter in the state. Good roads enthusiasts have arisen among all classes of society and in all walks of life.
 In those walks of life" which take a man over and about the streets of a city or the boulevards adjacent thereto the good roads enthusiasm waxes warmest. In those walks of life" which take a man over the COW u ails of some of the mountain country or down among the bullrushes of the black belt the enthusiasm Is probably not so nlBh.
 In those who live in the smoothly paved cities of the land, however. there is an ardent good roads spirit prevalent. They are wont to gather in convention, pin great, long, red rib hons on their coat lapels, distribute literature written by some congress- man who is looking for another term, make long speeches of high class ora tory and besiege the newspaper of fees with volumes of copy which they wish published and placed before the eager eyes of the waiting populace. As far as any historian has yet been able to discover, that is as far as they ever get, unless
 That word unless spells much. It bodes something omii.ous in the future. And 1t bodes right. The oratory. and the literatrpe. and the cheering and the red delegate ribbons are as far as they ever get, unless--they have an accident. And that word 'ominous" applies beautifully to what follows the word accident"
 When one of these good roads en- thusiasts has an accident" of certain well defined characteristics. his en- 'thusiasm for good roads immediately becomes q fit subject for an ad in the Host column" of the morning newspa- per. And it so happens, that such an accident befell some lew short months ago
 A rather well known young man had" the accident. He had been an enthusiastic enthusiast of good roads and all that pertained thereto. He was high in the councils Of the good roads

This inexpensive paint will stand expos ure to weather and give good service. It does not rub off as freely as the common whitewash.
 There iY also much to be done outside. On poultry plants where rubbish is not sy systematically removed there is always an accumulation of valueless odds and ends which should be disposed of. Piles of lumber or brush are great shelters for rats and other destructive vernin Clean them out.
 Look after the poultry fencing. Re- place or repair sagging gates. Patch up the holes. Renew broken or rotten fence posts. There will be less time for this work next spring when the rush is on again, and failure to attend to 1t may mean mixed breeding pens just at the time when the eggs are most wanted.
 Pay special attention to drainage. Clean out ditches which are filled up and dig new ones where necessary. Bank up the earth around the foundations of all buildings in order that the surface water will be turned away from them. When surface water gets underneath biuld- ing with an earth floor it will always work to the surface, and the dreaded dampress appears.
 It is simple matter to scoop out broad, shallow ditches which will carry all water away from the buildings and keep them and their immediate surrounding in clean, dry condition. Mud puddles in the yard means muddy feet for the hens, and the latter will see to it that some of the

 rules and regulations laid upon the statute books of the state and city and
 ore pleasant evening the minions of
 the law served him with a warrant
 and few days later he was sentenced
 to hard labor on the roads.
 Now he weeps. His enthusiasm for
 good roads is gone, absconded, de-

 didn't mean that good roads should be
 built while the sun shines so hot. But the warden in charge of the county convict gang, of which he is a member Is not a student of the Bible and he isn't worrying about what the Lord meant about good roads Therefore the one-time good roads enthusiast Is now laboring for good roads, wearing a striped suit and welding a pick in- setead of wearing a red bin and yielding speech.
 But it appears that while he Is serv- ing out this sentence, the energetic
 minions of the law and order league have worked up several more cases against him. This is causing him worry. He thinks he can do more good

RULER OF TIESSE-DARMSTADT
 IS PATRON OF MUSIC AND ART

! Darmstadt, June 27.-(Special)-In May the Grand Duke of -Darmstadt,
 accompanied by his consort. the Grand
 Duchess Eleanora, and Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia. son of the Emperor William, opened the great loan exhibition of works of art which is being held in the grand ducal castle of Darmstadt during the summer. The ceremony was extreme " simple, one might almost say "busi- nesslike." consisting of concise speech by Professor Biermann, the grand dukes art adviser. in which the aims of the ex- hibition were set forth to the many dis tinguished visitors who had come from far and near to see the collection of art treasures. The grand duke does not like the grand manner" preferrns, like the President of the United States, to talk with all sorts and conditions of men in order to keep himself abreast of all mod ern ideas and achievements. His great delight, however. is to foster the different arts. the practical outcome of which is this exhibition and also a second one on tic Mathildenhohe. in which are being shown the newest works of the Darm- stadt artists colony founded by the grand duke about Is years ago. He is equally ipterested in the theatre and opera. howe

 Carefully secure the wire netting in partitions and over wall openings so that birds cannot pass through or be injured by loose ends of projecting wire. Many a bright eye has been dulled through neg lect of this simple precaution.

 A very durable whitewash, really a paint, is made in the following manner: Slack one-half bushel of quicklime in six gallons of hot water.

 Arrange to cultivate the bare yards and get them seeded down early Get a thick stand of green stuff growing before the early frosts. This means freedom the evils of ground poisoning and supplies the needed green food we'll into the early win ter.
 Dry Earth for Breeders
 There is one more important matter which should be attended to before the fall rains begin. Put under cover lib- eral supply of fine, dry earth for use in the breeders when the late winter and early spring chicks appear. At this sea- son of the year it is almost impossible to secure a supply. and many q brood of chicks has suffered for this reason.
 The poultryman should, of all men, realize the truth of the old saw which informs us that stitch in time saves nine. That success in this line comes tc those who are forehanded. who ward off dangers, and, anticipating the needs of their flocks, have everything in read mess for immediate use when wanted
 This must not be construed as meaning that the growing stock should ne neglect ed in order to attend to the work out lined above. The youngsters must have every attention. but spare time may well be devoted to preparing for their well being after they come to productive ma- turity.

Abernathy of the court of com mon pleas asking him to have these other cases against him nolle pressed. Part of his letter is as follows: Dear Alb:
 "A tramp was working on a rock pile in the hot sun when a farmer come along and asked him what his idea was in cracking rock in that manner. He replied that 1t was not his Idea at all, but that of some other son-of- a-gun.
 "It is warm on the county roads My health Is not good. I am still an ardent advocate of good roads, but feel that I am too closely identified with the movement to be of the greatest service. To view this work from a point somewhat further removed would rot only lend enchantment. but would furnish opportunity to study these road problems unbiased and less hampered.'
 The rest of the letter deals with his request to have the other cases against him dismissed. And it is probable that they will be.

MEXICAN VARIETY OF AN ENGLISH BREED

The Cornish fowl. formerly known as the Cornish Indian Game, may be termed the bulldog of poultrydom. At least it's appearance of great power and strength, it's broad breast and widespread iegs gives this impression.
 The breed originated in the county of Cornwall, England, and probably resulted from the mixing of the blood of the Aseel, English Game and Malay. It was first exhibited about 1S5S but was rot widely distributed for some time after that date.
 The original variety was that which is now called the Dark Cornish. Later came the White,f and more recently still the hite-Laced Red, the subject of .nis sketch. America receives the credit for produc- ing this beautiful variety, which was brought out by w. H. Card of Connecti- cut. It was admitted to the American Standard of Perfection only a very few years ago, but already we find it exhib tied in good numbers at many of the lead ing poultry shows.
