HAD A LIVELY NIGHT.
A Change Of Cars That Only Added TO
the Evenings Enjoyment.


A New Yorker who recently returned
from abroad had queer experience
while travelling In Switzerland. lie
got separated from his party one even
Ing az n railway station. and as the
train was about 10 start a porter grab
bed him, pushed him into dark COM
partment In one OF the ears and locked
The door. The traveller stumbled into
the arms Of brisily bearded French
man and his wife. who received him
with wild torrent OF jabbering that
sounded like threats, and as the train
drew out he reiterated into a corner and
sank into a seat. lie says:
Il was locked in that compartment
for two hours. for the train made no
stop for sixty miles. and the time
passed mostly with the heavily beard
ed Frenchman glaring at me in the al
most gloom and my keeping my eyes
on him. wondering what he would try
TO do
when the train at last stopped my
friends found me with the announce
mcnt that they had found a berth In
wagon Iii compartment. and | thank
fully quit the presence of the angry
couple and was shown into two berth
compartment. where found | was TO
occupy the upper berth The lower was
occupied by an elderly man. 1t was n
chilly night. and spread my heavy
overcoat over me- To partly explain
what followed | may mention that one
pocket contained heavy silver flask.
IL do not know how long had been
asleep. but was awakened by the
most horrible noises imaginable coming
from the berth under me- A muffled
voice was shrieking and cursing and
yelling in French for help. and could
hear blows. At the same instant came
knocks on the door OF the compartment
and demands in several languages that
It be opened.
"And what do you think had happen
ed? That bottle bad gradually dragged
the fur coat down until 1t had fallen in
upon the man in the berth beneath.
The flask had struck him on the head,
and the fur coat spread itself over his
face aud arms.
Awakened by the blow, which he
naturally imagined had come from a
weapon of some kind the old man be-
low had started up to find upon him
what he thought was huge hairy ami
NAL of some sort, and he was scream
ing and kicking and fighting ii and
raising such rumpus that he had
aroused the whole car."-New York

COST OF new ROADWAY
Is LESS THAN ESTIMATE
TOTAL OUTLAY FOR IMPROVE.
MENT WILL NOT REACH
5000 MARK.

An engineers report on the concrete
roadway on Hecla street and Lake
Linden avenue is particularly gratify-
ing to members of the village council
in that the actual cost of the i'm
provement will be considerably less
than the estimate. In fact, the total
expenditure will be less than $4,000 or
approximately SS cents per yard The
estimated cost yer yard was $1.1O.
hence the reduction is the cause of
| considerable elation.
This low cost doubtless will create
favor for a municipal paving plant and
in the event that the roadway is dur
able. this form OF pavement may be
adopted for all future street work. The
village possesses all equipment except
concrete mixer and various mem
bers Of the board endorse the purchase
Of this device Immediately The cost
would be from $500 to 81 900. and IL is
believed that such an investment
would be matter. OF economy.
While the new roadway is an ex-
pertinent, its appearance compares ia
vorably with the section that is paved
with granitoid and it is preferable to
macadam. The latter material. how
ever costs n cents per yard so the
concrete roadway. is more economical
than any other material. Further
more, considerable sum was saved
which is not represented i'm the actual
cost of the road, and through the ex-
ercise of further economy, other
streets We're improved at a minimum
expense. When the grade was being
established on Hecla street and the
avenue, material removed from those
streets was used i'm Improving streets
in the resident section and the result
is that permanent improvements have
been made in various parts Of the town
through the completion of the work on
Hecla street.

But at the same time any person
who aspired to office could have his

The sponsors of this plan argue that

FARM NEEDS BETTER HORSES.
More Efficient Cultivation Demands
Greater Power, An Expert SAYS.

Better farming means deeper plow-
ing, and the spreading of more man
uie and more efficient cultivation of
the soil. These things are at present
nearly as we'll done as they can be
until the farm horses are better and
more powerful. There are regions in
the Corn Belt where now the farm
teams are heavy and good, but take il
as one finds it throughout most of the
farming states of America the farms
are underpowered. In many instances
the horses are not good enough.
Labor is today the dearest thing
ab1it the American farm. We must
study to make the labor more efficient
One employs n laborer for $3.50 a
day. Few men realize that this is
capitalizing that laborer at more than
$4,000, but 1t il true, as a little work
with figures. allowing interest at 6
per cent, will show 1t Is obviously
poor business policy to equip the
$4,000 man with 5000 team. He
must be made as effective as pos
sible in his labor. and that means
that he ought to have at least three
big strong horses to draw his plow
