Attention is called to the fact
that our clay-sand roads some
times need a little work and
dressing up; they will not last
forever without work; in fact, no
road will, but they are not like
any other road and can be kept up
up with a minimum of expense II
the attention needed is given at
the proper time. Any road will
wear out and be cut to pieces.
Even rock or concrete will not
last always without attention.
Where the clay is once put down
properly there is very little ex-
pense attached to keeping the
road in good condition, but the
drag should be used after rains,
holes should be filled and washes
stopped; these things are neces-
sary and should be attended to,
and when this is done the roads
will be good all the time.

OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN
Mesopotamia Boat, Known as kufa, Known to Have Been in Use Be-
 fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, a curious circular boat made of basketwork, and seen mo- where else in the world, is a com mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer rymen charge only cent each pas senser. There is one good point about these strange craft-they are not cas- fly upset. Their carrying capacity also is great, and the kufa men pack in their passengers like herrings in a bar rel. I had the good luck to take pho tograph of the actual building of a kufa on the banks of the Tigris river, says writer in the Wide World. They are made of date palm branches woven together with rope made out of leaves of the same palm, thickly pfas- tered on the outside with bitumen. They range from four to twelve feet in diameter. Nowhere but On the Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can one see these curious craft, which serve principally for the transport of passengers, country produce and beasts of burden across the river. About three men are required to make a kufa of respectable size, and it takes them some twenty days to build it. Like the kelek, the kufa is of great antiquity, for both these strange craft were in use long before the time of Christ. The evidence of this is in disputable, for on the bas-reliefs taken from the palace of Sennacherib both craft are clearly represented.

CHAPTER X.

Early that year, the touch of autumn came to the air. Often, returning at sundown from the afternoon life class, Samson felt the lure of it's melancholy sweetness, and paused on one of the Washington Square benches. with many vague things stirring in his mind. He felt with a stronger throb the surety of young, but quickening, abilities within himself. Partly, it was the charm of Indian summer, partly a sense of growing with the days, but also, though he had not as yet realized that, it was the new friendship into which Adrienne had admitted him, and the new experience of frank cam araderie with woman not as a mem- Der of an inferior sex but as an equal companion of brain and soul. He had seen her often, and usually alone, be- cause he summed meetings with strangers Until his education had ad- vanced further, he wished to avoid social endorsements. He knew that she liked him, and realized that it was because he was new and virile type, and for that reason a diversion a sort of human novelty. She liked him. too, because it was rare for man to offer her friendship without making love, and she was certain he would not make love. He liked her for the same reasons that every one else did-because she was herself. Of late, too, he had met a number of men at Lescott's club. He was mod estly surprised to find that, though his attitude on these occasions was always that of one sitting in the back ground, the men seemed to like him, and, when they said, See you again." at parting, it was with the convincing manner of real friendliness.
 One wonderful afternoon in Octo- Der. when the distances were mist hung, and the skies very clear, Sam son sat across the table from Adrienne Lescott at road house on the Sound. The sun had set through great cloud battalions massed against the west, and the horizon was fading into dark ness through haze like ash of roses. She had picked him up on the Ave nue, and taken him into her car for a short spin, but the afternoon had beguiled them, turing them on a little farther, and still little farther. When they were a score of miles from Man haitian, the car had suddenly broken down. It would, the chauffeur told them, be the matter of an hour to effect repairs, so the girl, explaining to the boy that this event gave the affair the aspect Of adventure, turned
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-02-05

and led the way, on foot, to the near est road house.
 We will telephone that we shall b. late, and then have dinner" she laughed And for me to have dinner with you alone, unchaperoned at a country inn, is by New York standards delightfully."- unconventional. It borders on wickedness." Then, since their at titude toward each other was so friendly and innocent, they both laughed. They had dined under the trees of an old manor house, built a century ago, and now converted into an inn, and they had enjoyed them selves because 1t seemed to them pleasingly paradoxical that they should find in place seemingly so shabby genteel cuisine and service of such excellence Neither of them had ever been there before, and neither of them knew that the reputation of this estab- lishment was in its own way wide and unsavory.
 The repairs did not go as smoothly as the chauffeur had expected, and, when he had finished, he was hungry. So eleven o'clock found them still chatting at their table on the lighted lawn. After awhile, they fell silent, and Adrienne noticed that her com panion's face had become deeply, al most painfully set, and that his gaze was tensely focused on herself
 What is it, MT. South?" she de- handed.
 The young man began to speak, In steady, self-accusing voice.

Samson had hesitatingly taken the gloved hand, and it's grasp was firm and strong despite it's ridiculous smalIness.
 T reckon he'll be back presently" The boy was in doubt as to the proper , procedure. This was Lescotts studio. and he was not certain whether or not it lay in his province to invite Les. cott's sister to take possession of it. Possibly, he ought to withdraw. is ideas of social usages were very vague.
 Then, think I'll wait" announced the girl. She threw off her fur coat, ! and took a seat before the open grate. The chair was large, and swallowed her up
 Samson wanted to look at her, and was afraid that this would be impolite. He realized that he lad seen no real ladies, except on the street. and now he had the opportunity.

George talks of you so much that feel as if I'd known you all the while. Don't you think might claim friendship with Georges | friends?"
 Samson had no answer He wished to say something equally cordial, but the old instinct against effusiveness tied his tongue.
 "I owe right smart to George Les cott," he told her, gravely.
 That's not answering my question" {" she laughed Do you consent to be- l ing friends with me?'' | Miss" began the boy. Then, real izing that in New York this form of address is hardly complete he hast ened to add: Miss Lescott, I've been here over nine months now, and I'm just beginning to realize what a rube I am I haven't no" Again, he broke off, and laughed at himself. Il mean, l haven't any idea of proper manners, and so I'm, as we would say down home plumb skeered' of ladies'"
 As he accused himself, Samson was looking at her with unblinking direct ness; and she met his glance with eyes that twinkled.
 MT. South," she said, "I know all about manners, and you know all about hundred real things that want to know. Suppose we begin teaching each other?" | Samson's face lighted with the rev olutionizing effect that smile car bring only to features customarily solemn.
 Miss Lescott," he said, let's cal that trade-but you're gettin al the worst of 1t. To start with, you might give me lesson right now 1T how feller ought to act, when he's talkin' to lady-how I ought to act with you!"
 Her laugh made the situation as easy as an old shoe.

Ambition and Humility.

The highest ambition is the parent of the truest humility; it makes one realize that our ultimate aim is so high that we need a power far beyond our own for the accomplishments of so transcendent a work; that if we are truly to be co-workers with AL mighty God himself in the working out of the great scheme that rules the universe, the task is far too great for our unaided efforts, and we may con- fidently rely upon power divine to help us in all our needs.
