A PERCUSSION CAP.


Sleepy little Obadiah Holman
shivered and pulled the covers over
his head. for guests Of wind were
tanning his cheek.
"Sniff, snuff" said the wind.
puff. pant, g-r-r-rowl!"
The boy jumped from his bed to
the middle of the cabins puncheon
floor. Wide awake now. he lis
tened. What WAS that sound? He
knew. A bear was smelling at his
pillow through a crack between the
logs Of the wall!
Slowly his feet grew cold: slowly
his scalp began to itch.
Only that morning his father had
said, "Doby, better mix up wet clay
with grass and chink the hole by
your bed. or some wild creature
will come prowling along and nip
your nose while l am gone"
Dolby had been busy driving half
q dozen pegs into the wall between
those logs and on them laying
board which he had helped split
from an oak tree, and so he had for
gotten to daub fresh clay over the
place where his hammering had
Jared the old thinking out.
He had been proud of his work
for that board on it's pegs formed
his bed. 1t was such comforta-
Bile bed with its homespun tick
stuffed with leaves and it's patch
work quilt on top.
And now on tho uorv fret v,ioht

"But Pm not scared" said Dolby
to himself, 81 just know l can't be
scared. It's nothing but a she bear
taking a walk"
So while the bear strolled round
the cabin and came back to try an
other sniff, strolled round the 9TH
or way and came back for yet more
shifts, Dolby stood still in his iinsey-
woolsey bed-gown, wondering why
he felt so chilly on an August night
and saying over and over in his
mind, "Tm trusted to take care of
myself and I'm trusted to look aft
er everything. Now what's there
for me to do?"
Early in the day, his father on
the best horse, with his mother
carrying the flint-lock up pillon be-
hind him, had taken the Cincinnati
trail to the new town Of Richmond
which David Hoover had plated in
the fields of John Smith. His faith
er wanted to visit this town site
and his mother needed to trade at
Jeremiah Cox's tub mill.
Dolby had declared that he could
stay at home alone In charge of
himself and of the clearing.
"I'll trust YOU" his father had
said. Ever since last April, when
President Madison signed the Act

My Wish

Id like to have an old grey cat,

I'd like to have him mostly grey
Except one ear be brown.
I'd like to keep him nice and clean.
And have him chase the mice,
But any cat that I would have
Would be most awful nice.

CHICAGO-MIAMI MOTOR ROAD
Details Of Work In Various Localities
Progress Made In Construction
10 Remarkable.

That the Dixie highway is a road
that has appealed to the people both
North and South Of the Mason and
Dixon line Is evidenced by a report
from the Offices OF the Dixie highway
association, located at Chattanooga,
to the effect that fifty counties alone
have spent more than $1,765,2O0 on the
Chicago-Miami motor thoroughfare in
the last six months and are preparing
to spend $6,9Sl,O0O during the coming
year, writes j. c. Burton in Chicago
Daily News.
AS the fifty counties reporting TO
the association represent less than a
third OF the total counties that are
crossed by the road that llIs North
and South, It would not be unreason.
able to estimate that approximately
S5,3OO,OOO has been expended on the
Dixie highway to date and that $50.
$4,000 will be used to put the thor.
oughfare In shape In 1916.
When It is considered that the
Dixie highway was routed only eight
months ago, the progress made in its
construction is remarkable The large
mileage of permanent roads built or
under contract is an indication OF the
wonderful advancement made in such
short time. The fifty counties re.
ferred to report that nearly one.tenth
OF the distance either is paved or will
be paved before another year rolls
around. Using only multiple OF two
to represent the other 1l2 counties,
It can be seen that a good part of the
road is or will be Of a permanent tyr
Of construction.
The preparations being made for
even greater progress along this line
are highly gratifyingfo the officials OF
the Dixie highway association. Sew.
eral divisions Of the thoroughfare are
planning paved roads for their entire
stretch, the most notable Of these be-
ing the links from Chicago to Danville,
H., from Toledo to Cincinnati, O.;
from Jacksonville TO Miami, Fla. and
from Tallahassee to Barlow, Fla.
The reports by states show that in
seven out Of the eighteen counties Of
Kentucky there has been expended
$4,000. In Ohio, eight counties out
OF twelve and exclusive OF Hamilton
county, Of which Cincinnati is the
county seat, have spent $685. Five
counties out of twenty-five in Florida
spent s60l. 900 on the Dixie highway
