Macadam Roads.

The first great improvement
in highway construction within
modern times was effected by
John Loudon Macadam, or Nc
Adam, who was born in Ayr,
Scotland, 159 years ago, Septem-
Der 81, 1855. This great Scotch
engineer was the inventor of the
road-making system known as
'macadamizing," which is still
in general use, although vastly
improved. Macadam died in
1886 at the age of so. When he
was born the turnpike roads Of
England and Scotland were in
an incredibly bad state. Maca-
dam and his contemporary, Tel
ford, were the first to bring Or
der out Of the prevailing chaos
and to bring scientific methods
and regular system to bear upon
the building, repair and mainten-
ance of highways. Macadam
was, engaged chiefly in the re-
pair of existing roads rather
than the construction of new ones,
and the improvements which he
inaugurated were Of great and
lasting benefit not only to his
native land, but to the world at
large. Telford insisted upon a
foundation Of broken stone in
roadhuilding, while Macadam in
sisted that this was unnecessary,
and that the subsoil would carry
any weight if adequately drained
and kept dry by an impervious
covering. Trenton Times.

Within the wondrous wilder
ness,
If you will come with me,
You'll meet an ugly 9iantess
Called Curiosity;
Her neck is fifty cubits long,
And plant like a hose;
A horrible, sharp-pOinted prong
Does service as her nose.
Her body's shaped twill cause
surprise
Just like a question mark,
And with two little gimlet eyes
She sees when it's pitch dark,
She towers above the trees so tai
When upright she doth stand
Like gentle Alice, you'll recall
In haunted Wonderland.
A lovely child she once was, at
The age of Eta May;
She poked her nose in matters

Concerned her in no way,
So, mind your own affairs, no

Your prying self o'erdo,
Lest curiosity should get

Prices For PuffS.

The editor of an Eastern paper
has grown peevish. He has been
pestered so much by people desir-
ing free puffs that he facetiously
refers to himself as the Peerless
Prince Of Puff Purveyors. He
thinks he has done enough for
social queens, ministers who are
looking for free advertising, peo-
pie who have legislative fads. He
has evolved the following scale
of prices for puffs:
For telling the public that a
man is successful citizen, when
everybody knows he is as lazy as
a hired man, $2.70.
Referring to one as a hero and
a man of courage and one who
will stand by his honest convic-
tions, when everybody knows
that he is a moral coward and
would sell out for thirty cents,
$6.21
Referring to some gallivantin'
female as an estimable lady whom
it is a pleasure to meet and know,
when every man in town would
sooner see Satan coming, $50.
Calling an ordinary pulpit
orator an eminent divine, $50.
Sending a doughty sinner tc
Heaven, S..
Referring to a deceased mer-
chant who never advertised in his
life as a progressive citizen, $4. 99
Lambasting the daylights out
of the demon rum at the bequest
of the local prohibition commit
tee, $6.W.
Ditto for the prohibition at the
request of the local wet commit
tee, $6.77.

Address Delivered Before Kentucky
Bankers Received Wide

Especial Frankfort Correspondence
Frankfort.-John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency, made an
address before the Kentucky Bankers
Association at Frankfort, recently,
that not only brought forth much ia
vorable comment from the bankers
there assembled, but has since gained
wide circulation because of the popu'
lar approval with which it has been
received. The address dealt with the
subject of extortionate rates OF inter
est charged by many national banks
especially in the cotton and grain
belts, in some cases actually amount
ing to as high as 1000 per cent, and
he pointed out that such methods are
not only cruel to the needy borrower
but more than shortsighted, in thai
they tend to retard the development
Of the country.
Having exposed this evil in no un
certain terms, Mr., Williams proceeded
to serve notice that the government
is awake to the situation and proposes
to hereafter furnish adequate protec
tion to the borrower whose necessities
force him to seel; accommodation from
such banks as have been engaging il
usurious practices. This, Of course
does not apply to the great majority o
bankers who have long since realizet
that their own interest lay along tn
line OF real public service.
