You know, Justice Hughes has been stat ing that he doesn't want the nomina- ton and wouldn't accept it, but they are not paying any attention to him. Cleveland said the same thing.

JONES is ABSENTMINDED.
That Is What His Wife lragnes, and
Maybe She Is Right.

Mr.. Jones wife says that he Is the
most absentminded man in the world.
She finds 1t necessary to look him over
every morning before he leaves for his
office lest he should appear there iii his
pajamas some day.
On the day that she entertained the
members of her club Mrs. Jones took
great pains to caution her husband not
to forget to purchase the bridge favors.
"Now," she said in the morning as he
was about to leave for the day, do
please try and remember to go to the
store next door to your office and get
twenty-five of the handsomest favors
in the store and send them up to the
house with a boy this afternoon"
Jones promised faithfully to rcmem
Der and promptly forgot all about the
matter until he reached the office
Then his eyes lighted on the string his
wife had tied about his finger.
Great Scott" he cried, chose IA
vors.'
Half an hour later as he was opening
his mail he came across a letter from
his wife,
Don't forget those favors," it read.
'and be sure to pay for them"
Him, that's right" muttered Jones
abstractedly. II did nearly forget
them
Shortly after receiving the letter his
wife called him up on the telephone.
"IIave you bought those favors?' she
inquired.

did almost forget them
At noon he left the office to be gone
the remainder of the day.N,At 6 o'clock
he walked up the stoop of his home
tired, but happy in the consciousness
that his days work was over.
At the door of the house his wife met
him in a plainly wrathful mood.
"Wretched man." she cried.
Jones surveyed her in Amusement for
a moment. Then an awful thought
pierced his mind

: TOPOGRAPHIC MAP PALAT-
) kA DISTRICT.
+ + + ***s +*****+ss

A new topographic map of the
area known as the Palatka quadran-
gle has just been published by the
United States Geological Survey.
This map represents by far the
most complete survey ever made of
this section of the State. 1t shows
SO clearly every physical feature Of
the quadrangle that the character Of
any part Of 1t, as we'll as the shapes
Of the hills and valleys, can be seen
at glance, and the altitude of any
particular point can be easily deter
mined. The relief of the country is
graphically shown by means Of brown
contour lines, each one Of which rep
resentS certain altitude above the
sea. The traveller walking along the
course shown by one of the contour
lines will go neither up hill nor down
hill but on a level. That such map
is of prime value to the engineer
who may be laying out railroad
or trolley route, highway, a drain
age or irrigation system goes without
saying, but it is also of great value
to the average citizen. Farmers
and automobiles, for instance, buy
thousands of the maps. In addition
to the land and water features, the
map shows, in black, all the works
Of man-roads, bridges, towns,
| houses, etc.
The topographic mapping done by
the Geological Survey represents the
highest type Of geographic work, and
the maps show substantially every
thing as it is on the ground at the
time of the survey. In making the
survey for this particular map the
topographic engineers tramped over
practically every part of the qua
drangle, hundreds of miles being thus
covered. Permanent iron bench
marks, showing exact attitudes, were
also set at numerous points in the
quadrangle. Thee location of these
marks is indicated accurately on the
map, and they can be used for all
time as the basis for any further
surveys desired. Map making of
this sort is very different undertake
ing from that of constructing the av-
erage geographic map at a desk
generally matter of mere approx
nation and compilation. Everything
on the Geological Survey topograph-
ic sheet is exact and true to nature.
This sheet forms but one small
section of the great topographic atlas
of the United States, which the Geo.
logical Survey is making and which
will be the largest and yet the most
detailed atlas in the world. When
completed this map will be approx
mately an acre in extent. Already
more than 1900 of these sheets have
been completed, covering nearly AZ
per cent of the United States.
