In the wear 1863. in the city of

The purchase, the first of it's

much interest. 1t was not un-
common for Capt. Jones to kill
from 40 to SO hogs yearly-but
the work of the little grinder
did not end with this. Into
many, many homes it was bor-
rowed its owner was an accom-
modating neighbor. After his
death some IL years ago, this
useful article fell into the hands
of his daughter. Mrs. A. K.

Int resting DR. cam
of Silas c.. Arnold,

! a few nights ago. after read
ing y vivid account of some
happenings in the European
war. I went to bed and had the
following interesting dream:
Il dreamed that / was in Eu-
rope at the outbreak of the great
war attending to some business,
and of course, the wartime in
conveniences hiDdered my com
ing home.
AT the town in Germany
where l was staying everything
was turmoil and confusion. All
strangers were regarded with
suspicion If not with open con-
tempt. One day while wander
ing about the town I came to a.
large building that had been in
construction when the war broke
out. The laborers had all gone
away to the army and left the
structure half finished with it's
massive top insecurely support
ed upon uncertain timbers. It's
peculiar style of architecture at
tracted my attention and I went
inside to examine it closer, By
accident | chanced to move an
Important timber. It's falling
dislodged another and this in
turn brought down another un-
til I was sycompelled to run for
nv life to get out of the falling
building. l had barely cleared
the door when the whole struc.
;ture came tumbling down, a
pile Of rains.
Although this was entirely ac-
'cidental, it gave the Germans
pretext for seizing me and sub.
'mitting ME to some very rough
treatment. The mistreating Of
me, an American citizen, brought
about an international contro-
versy that resulted in the United
States becoming engaged in the
war.
! One day O friend came to me
and told me that a large body of
: American soldiers had landed at
a seaport nearby and were
marching to my rescue. The
/. Germans fled before Uncle
S Sans boys, and l was soon in
the hands Of friends again.
Y While | was thanking my de-
! liverers one Of them called me
aside and advised me to make a
hasty toilet and dress myself in
: the best clothes Obtainable for
} an important person was com.
ing on behind to see me. I
dressed as rapidly as / could,
wondering all the while who it
could be that was coming; and
Imagine nv surprise and delight
when there appeared presently

from back i'm dear old South
i Carolina! The dear girl. hear
ing of my trouble. had come all
the way across the sea aud had

ROAD EXPENDITURES IN U. 5. NOW OVER $2OO,OOO,000 YEAR

Washington, Oct. 2-An enormous increase in the total expenditures for road building and bridge construction marked the. development of highway work in the United States udring the past 12 years
 Statistics compiled by the office of public roads and made public today show that the expenditures for this work increased from approximately $8O,000,000 a year in 1904 to about $282, 100000 in 1915, or more than 250 per cent. State expenditures in creased from $2,500,OO0 to more than s53,000,000. In addition, more than $27, ,00O, 900 of local funds were spent under state supervision in 1915, bring ing the total road and bridge expendi- lures managed by the states to ESQ., 514,699.
 The rapid growth in importance of state highway departments is shown by the report. Since 1891 when New Jersey established the first of these agencies every state except Indiana, South Carolina and Texas now have some form of highway department. These departments had expended up to January l. a total of over $265,- 900, 900 of state funds for road and bridge construction, maintenance and administration, They have construct ed more than 50,000 miles of road.
