slightly stopped him, while his Shout
ders are rounded as II by hard la
Dor. He Is wonderfully preserved
and shows every indication Eof living
for many years. He still can fellow
a bear over the hills and will show
less fatigue as result of 1t than
anyone in the party.
Devil Anse" is Democrat and
never votes for anyone unless he is
a Democrat. So Democratic is he
that he said:
II Drury runs for the senate,
will not vote for him because he is
not Democrat"
The aged mountaineer has a high
regard for President. Wilson who he
thinks Is one Of the greatest men OF
the century.
Time has mellowed the leader Of
the Hatfields He has an outlook on
life tempered with long years and
many deep sorrows. He no longer
holds resentment against anyone in
the world. and says: 81
Wants to Be at Peace.
II am getting pretty old now and i
want to be at peace with the world.
l have lots Of good friends among
both political parties and even among
my former enemies"
There are lot Of things, however,
that he doesn't forget and one of
them is the fact that he was disfran-
chised for seven years and this has,
4; possible, intensified his Democ-
racy.
* A sight OF the old man and few
minutes talk with him dispels the
idea that he was once a;feudist who
was indicted for killing, and about
whom there evolved the greatest
family feud in America. Through
his glasses there gleams'a kindly ex-
preston as 1t seeks to escape through
the windows of his soul. He, talks
slow and we'll and his remarks are
only occasionally followed by any
movement of his hands which show
less the ravages Of time than any
other part OF his physical self. In
fact. his hands could somehow or
other not be associated with work in
any way and yet, he has worked
hard all his life, for 1T takes work
to dig living out Of a mountain
farm, even If it has little stretches
of creek bottom. rs
1t is thirty years now since the
Hatfield and Mccoy factions used
to run their eyes along a polished
barrel of gun to avenge real or
imaginary wrong. The Logan cc:ln-
try then was new and now it is thick
ly settled and its future is assured.
Yet this aged man has lived through
several epochs of civilization and,
where thirty years ago the law OF
the land was the law Of might, Devil

Movement Going Forward at a
Pace That is Constantly
i Increasing.

NEW YORK, Sept 4.-Defnite adj
vancement has been made annually
In road construction, maintenance and
administration since New Jersey en-
acted the first modern state aid road
law in 1891. For the first dozen years
the progress was slow; but during the
last few years, the movement has been
going forward at constantly increas-
ing pace, and with a momentum that
gathers strength and force as 1t pro-
sceeds, until IL now forms one OF the
Irresistible factors of human progress.
This progress has been marred from
year to year by the annual conventions
OF the American Road Builders As
ISOLATION and the American Highway
Association. Not only in the mileage
OF roads improved has the advance
ment been made. Better types of road
and street have been developed; bet
ter methods of construction; the more
intelligent employment of materials;
more economical administration;
{ more advantageous systems of financ-
Ing, all have contributed to the widen
ing OF the subject OF highway i'm
provement until 1915 finds greater
accomplishment than any previous
year since the movement began.
Practically every state in the union
and every province and country in
all America is pushing the construc-
ton Of highways to the limit Of means
available. While every commonwealth
has its own methods of procedure, the
objects sought are in every case the
Same. The lowering Of the cost Of
marketing products and securing sup

a job as dietitian at: the state home

Miss Parker is peeved at the civil

pried her loose from the job that paid
$500 a year and maintenance.
Miss Parker owned restaurant in
Boston. Early last winter she quit

state home for girls as a diet expert
after the civil service commission had
waived an examination. She drew her
pay check regularly for several
months without any one being, aware
of her appointment except the state
officials directly interested.
But along in February the people or
