Russian Police Story.

4 Russian official once told a curious
story Of the thoroughness Of the Pet
rograd police in the early nineteenth
century. He had lost his pocketbook,
containing a considerable sum, gave
notice and had the money restored to
him within a day or two without the
pocketbook Shortly after he found
that the pocketbook, still containing
the original notes, was not lost, but
had slipped into the lining Of his
fur coat Naturally he asked whence
had come the restored money. He dis
covered that the police rather than
admit failure had collected the money
among themselves. - Dundee Adver.

THE REAL COST OF GRAVEL
ROADS.
Hon. J. G. WALKER.
Shaw. Miss.

DEAR SIR:
In reply to your letter Of the 18th
l beg TO say that l have been ex-
perimenting with low cast gravel
roads in the vicinity of Rcsedale
for about four years. and find thai,
good serviceable gravel road canbe
constr ucted for about $500 for the
first two miles from the railroad of
Tishomingo or Camden gravel and
at less cost Of Brookhaven or
other Mississippi gfavels. This
does not include the cost of grad
ing the road % that has been pre-
sumably done already. We have
let the contract for the construct
ton of about twenty miles of gtav-
el road at as cents per ton for the
work of hauling and spreading the
rt ad. to be turned over in smnothe
condition ten days after being finish
ed. The material cost $3.50 per
ton delivered at the depot and the
contractor is required to haul same
the first two miles. 1t requires a
1000 tons to the mile so that this
contract calls for Sl75O per mile
up to two miles from depot. We
pay 80 cents per ton additional for
the hauling after the first two miles
We expect this work to begin next
week but can only do So with a
small force on account Of the scar
city Of cars on the railroad. This
material will contract a road six
inches thick. which put down
eight feet wide spreads to about
IL feet which is ample width. A
gravel road built any wider is a
waste as all gravel confines itself
to the center of the road anyway
and we fud six inches thick is as
good as six feet for the reason that
as soon as it cuts down three inches S
it must be replaced in II he rut back
to the original grade anyway A
Wagon is S feet wide so that wide
roads are a waste Of money. and
it is not even necessary to have 1t
wide enough for passing. as the
grass grows along the road and the
use does not even prove enorgh 10
cut this grass. 1t must be noted
that a graved road is not perma-
ent road but must be constantly
repaired. We have a mile stretch
here that has been used four wears
and it now shows need of repairs,
but am sure that $500 per miel
will make it az good as new. My
own estimate of cost OF the upkeep
is not exceeding $3.50 per mile per
wear on average roads and proba-
Dly less than 500 on some. 1t is
our purpose to oil the new road
which will cos less than $500 per
mile and FROM ur experience with

MATADOR DOOMED IN MEXICO
General carranza Puts a Ban on Bull
fights in the Southern
Republic.

General Carranza has acted for the
betterment Of Mexico by issuing a de-
cree abolishing bullfghting, long re-
garded as the national sport Of Mexico.
The decree states the government is
under obligations TO stamp out Gus
toms which are opposed TO culture,
and TO aid civilization by eleyating the
moral level Of the people. II de-
nounces bullfghts as needlessly en-
dangerlng the lives OF men torturing
beasts, provoking sanguinary senu-
mentS and diSgracing the country.
Then what a commentary on the
poor OF Mexico follows Immediately
after the denunciation Of bullhghting
the decree adds that bullhghts cause
misery TO the poor, who, for n mo-
ments enjoyment 90 without the nee
essaries of life. This remarks the FL
Paso (Tex) Herald, Is an admission
that the masses of Mexico are willing
to deprive themselves Of food and
clothing to enjoy something which is
a disgrace to the country.
This recalls a statement ascribed to
the late President Diaz, who, when
asked once whom the people Of Mexico
would elect for president if allowed an
unrestricted exercise Of the ballot, Is
said to have replied: "Bombito, the
bullhghter."
There may have been some truth in
the alleged interview, or 1t may be
wholly fictitious. If at all true, it H.
lustrates the hold which the so-called
sport has had upon some Mexlcans,
especially the lower classes.
