Mrs. Foley sighed. They were hum
BILE folk. Dennis was uneducated,
their little home was located in poor
section. But it was all their own and
Dennis was a good husband and g.
! kind father.
Their daughter Nora was earning
fair salary as a stenographer. She
was engaged to an estimable young
man, budding architect and en-
| gineer. They were all looked up to in
their own social sphere, humble as 1t
was, because they were respectable.
Once, in the far past, Dennis had
been drinking man, but that was
long gone by.
And now came the break that wor-
ried and grieved the good housewife.
Dennis was bent on breaking into poll
tics. In vain Mrs Foley pictured the
downfall OF Mr.. Herndon, whose son,
Sidney, was engaged to Nora. Politics
had ruined the elder Herndon and he
had died of broken fortunes and a
broken heart.
Dennis went his own way. For two
months he was away from home often
until midnight. More than once he
had come under the influence Of
liquor. He had mortgaged the little
home to the full limit to secure cam
paign funds.
'It will all come back, Mary" he
declared ten times over. my candi-

What Dennis had done was to fully
assume the authority Of the city water
department. He had supplied himself
with the o<nclAl water shrt-oR rod
One after the other, whether defin-
queat Am the payment Of their water
tax or nok, he bad proceeded to tHrn

street
So drastic had been his action that
one entire end OF the ward had no
water for twelve hours. The parched,
indignant victims OF this oficial frohc
had at once sent q committee OF pro-
test to the mayor. 1t was after mid
night when they reached that func-
tionary. His action was summary.
The newspaper announced the dis
missal of the new water department
superintendent from his official duties
and Dennis was out OF job.
Then Dennis Foley went to pieces.
He became an idler, spending his time
pestering his former political spon-
sors, haranguing crowds in his favor
ite saloon on the ingratitude Of an
unappreciative municipality. He neg
lected his family. A shrewd, tricky
crowd involved him in a fragrant po-
litical conspiracy and all hands were
sent to the house Of correction for
year.
Mary visited him there weekly, but
she had little to tell him that was
comforting Their little property had
been foreclosed on. Sidney had mar
ried Nora and they had removed to
bustling little interior town where
Sidney had secured a position. Too
proud to live on them, Mrs. Foley
was sustaining herself by working as
janitress in an office building.
The day that Dennis was released
from prison, he was amazed and en-
pear as the first one to greet him at
the steps of the reformatory.

way, ''I hope you've seen the folly Of
politics"

smiled Sidney, slapping his contrite
relative briskly on the shoulder. "If
there's to be no more drinking"
"Try me and see!" muttered Dennis
between his set teeth.
Then Nora and I have blocked out
a fine future for you. They have ap-
pointed me business agent OF the
town where we live. They are going
to put in water and gas and pave the
streets. See here, you're an expert in
those lines. How would you like to
be my superintendent"
There were tears in the eyes OF
Dennis Foley. All his wretched mis-.
takes seemed fading away like a bad
dream as he and Mary reached the
train with Sidney. The old woman
broke down utterly when their daugh-
ter welcomed them to her neat hos
pitable home and Sidney pointed from
the window to a lonely little cottage.

ROADS.

Common sense and practicability
have been discovered by the state
highway commission to be as import
ant as any other ingredients entering
irto the construction of public high
ways. In bulletins issued by the COM
mission this fact is brought out indi-
rectly. They call attention to these
problems before the people of the
state who are about to spend at
least $7,25O,o00
Shall man, IN building
house, erect kitchen the first
years, a bedroom the next, din
ing room the next, then living
room, bathroom, another bedroom,
sun parlor and later such other
portions as he finds himself able
] to add9 - Or shall he hypothecate
his resources and build it all, so
that the parts neither will be worn
out because the place is disable
nor be denied the user during the
time when it can be of service to
him9 Shall a man having pros
pective use for a comfortable six
room house construct, instead,
bathroom into which he puts the
entire cost Of the house9
Self-evident as the answers to these
problems appear, the same self
evidence does not appear to answer
the same questions asked about roads,
the state commission finds In terms
OF roads, the same questions might
be put thus:
Shall community, in establish
ing means of communication and
of business transaction, build one
mile Of road this year, another
next and so onq Or shall the
community hypothecate it's re-
sources for bonds sold to its own
members, build a comprehensive
system Of roads at once and be en-
joying them instead of having the
mile or so built becoming worn
off at both ends while waiting for
yearly appropriations?
Shall community, having use
for road to handle a traffic of
three hundred teams a day, build
a 5,O00-team roadway, at increas-
ed expense, which means less
actual road length?
The answer to these two prob
lens is the work of the state high
way commission.

AND NOW THE EIGHT. =
Recent Tests Prove Tnat the Eight
Cylinder Auto is Here to Stay
Big Economy in Gas.

The term "eight-cylinders prom
Uses to become symbol for economy
as well as fexibility in the near
future, according to officials f the
Olds Motor works, of Lansing, Mich.
Recent tests conducted with the Eight
or this firm show surprising frugali-
ty in the consumption of gasoline,
when the size and horsepower of the
car are taken into consideration.
In order to arrive at a practical
determination in the matter, a great
number Of Oldsmobile Fights, selected
from stock at random, were sent upon
the road, in the hands of various
drivers. The gasoline average, as the
result Of these tests, were found to be
from fourteen to fifteen miles a gallon.
Quite often, in the hands Of a careful
driver, it exceeded sixteen miles.
Especial attention has been devot-
ed by Olds engineers to building an
economical eight, because of the
foreign business of the company.
Gasoline prices are SO much higher
abroad than here that the item of fuel
consumption is extremely important,
often deciding the purchase of car.
In the Oldsmobile Eight, it is believed
that maximum gasoline economy for
this type of construction has been
reached. Certainly it compares most
favorably with other types.
In establishing it's performance, the
extreme light weight Of the Eight
played an all important part. Ready
for the road, filled with water, gas and
oil, and a spare rim and casing, it tips
the scale at less than $500 pounds.
This, the forty-horse power motor
handles with scarcely an effort, so
that it is able to conserve it's energy,
translated into terms of fuel, to a re-
narkable degree. Eventually, when
the roads improve, it is expected to
make even a better show.
