An unexpected greeting was in store
for him.
"You had bad luck with that horse"
said the foreman, 'but don't give up
yet. There is room for a gang fore
man in the mine. Can you boss a
gang of miners better than you bossed
that horse?"
Fred went TO work at his second
job with enthusiasm. He used to work
hard all day and at night at the cheap
boarding house he would get out his
fiddle, which he had learned to play in
his fathers home near Milwaukee, and
he would play for his companions till
they forgot their troubles and the dirt
and the CRIME and the toll of the mines.
Among Freds best friends in the mine
was a man who carried the mail from
the railroad to the mines. This man,
older than himself by many years, was
one of the most eager admirers of the
newcomers simple, melodious playing
and so strong friendship had grown
up between them.
One day when he was at the rail-
road station getting the mail bags the
freight master offered him a position as
freight handler. He was eager to ac-
cept the position, for it carried with it
the munihcent wage of 81 day, but
when it came to the real issue the mail
carrier had to admit that his sole knowl-
edge of the ast of writing was limited
to the shaping of the letters of his
own name.

KEEP THE STRAIGHT ROADS
Department of Agriculture Advocates
Building Highways Around Hills
I~nsteadlof Over Them.

The United States department of ag-
riculture is advocating the plan OF
building roads around hills Instead of
over them. From the road builders
standpoint this is a simple way to
avoid expensive grading. From the
practical standpoint it viii never do,
except perhaps in a few exceptional
cases. The straight section line roads
give the farmer rectangular fields,
which are worked with the minimum
Of inconvenience. A triangular field,
or one odd shaped in any way, greatly
increases the labor Of almost every
field operation. Added to- this incon-
venience Of farmers is the danger to
road users from curves In these days
of rapidity moving automobiles. The
only practical way to do away with
hills in the roads is to cut through
them.

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Shot a RuIIseye, Even in
the Dark.


Charles Pechard, a police official of
Paris, has invented an attachment
that enables n to shoot a revolver
more accurately in the dark than in
broad daylight, the New York INDIE
pendent states.
This attachment consists of a metal
lie tube with a lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. By
means of mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as a slender cone,
and is sufficiently strong at a distance
Of some four rods for all practical pur
poses. In the middle of the illum1na-
ted field there is a small dark spot
which comedies with the line of the
bullets fight. This enables the mex
~perienced shooter to hit a selected
part of the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
In ordinary target practice.
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or a storage battery,
which the officer can carry in his peck
ct or which the defender of the home
can place under his pillow. The light
tube can be attached to an ordinary
pistol, and it may be used as a fash
with peaceful intent or merely as a
show of force.

GOOD ROADS DURING WINTER
school Districts and Neighporhoods
Can DO :. Little Community Work.
From Time to Time.

In every community having dirt
highways the roads are usually better
m1ate autumn than at any other time
in the year.
We ought to try to keep them that
way, says a Missouri writer in the
Farm Progress. We can do so by in
diyidual efforts. School districts and
neighborhoods can do a little eommu-
nifty work from time to time through
the winter and the roads will be good
at least until the deep thaWs next
March.
I know how it is in a good many
neighborhoods. If there is one man
who gets the r~oad-dragging fever and
works few days now and thenyon the
highway, the rest Of the community
looks on. Finally the lone worker gets
disguised. He has reason to when
there is no cooperation.
Last fall seven of US living along
one of the county seat highways man
aged to keep up our interest nearly all
winter. We hftched to the road drag
every chance we got. One man was
blowing about a mile down the road
from his house. Instead of riding back
and forth in a wagon, he hitched his

There are also fragments of the Chi
Chiu-C Chang vocabulary composed by a
eunich Of the palace in about the year
40. A. d. All the authentic texts Of
this ancient school book, widely used
IN the year 2 to teach Chinese chill
dren to read and write, had long since
disappeared. The paper manuscripts
are. the oldest examples of such litera'
tufe=inl~ existence. M. Chavannes has
succeeded in reconstructing from these
heterogeneous and more or less frag-
mentary and disconnected materials a
fairly probable picture Of the daily
life of the Chinese garrisons that held
these frontier posts against the Huns
and kept open the trade routes to
Farghana and Yarkand. The human as
well as scientific interest of such a pic
ture is manifest.

There's undoubtedly much truth in
the statement, eve to the aus OF

some remedy on the outside.

@ great annoyance to her. She writes:

Inconvenience, The suffering was al
