He looked Mt his wrist watch.
"Will you marry me?" he said. She
blushed.
"There Is really no time to lose. You

must report at headquarters tomorrow
at nine. We sail for France in three
days. Will you marry mew
II don't mind" she said. "Only-T
should like to make one condition" {"
"And this is?'
II have dreamed for years Of get
ting married; but not In this way.
But will marry you if-when you re-
turn-you will propose to me all over
again, and we can go on honeymoon,
and I can be courted, and--well, you
know, I am sure"
"All right" he said with a smile.
ITO be honest with you, dearest, I
thought was going to escape all that

A Baseball PHILOSOPHER.

Sentiment plays most Of the strings
In this little musical instrument Of a
world, says writer in an exchange.
1 di@k3 see any Of the worlds
series hseball games held in New
York and Chicago. But my heart was
quite a loud beating affair each day
In the bleachsrs. And it was beating
for the Chicago White Sox.
I'll tell you why.
The head, heart and owner of the
Chicago White, Sox is Charlie Comis-
key. They call him "the old Roman" !"
One day an important game was on
and his great Chicago park was crowd
ed with something like q $4,000
crowd. Then old Pluvius got busy and
started dumping wetness in torrents
onto the park.
1t looked bad. So bad that one of
Comiskey's friends hunted him out,
and worried-like in excitement, ex-
claimed, "Comiskey, do you think it's
going to stopT
1T always has," replied 1.-THE old
Roman"
No wonder the White Sox won the
worlds series.

How Much Does He Saxe2

A professional man says 1t costs
about cents mile to run his auto.
This includes oil, wear and tear, in
surance and upkeep generally. Once a
week he drives to the country and buys
supplies, butter, eggs, chickens, ap-
pies, potatoes, etc. Sometimes he COW
ers 80 miles on a trip. Thus, accord
Ing to his own estimates, his expense
would be fully $3.50 for the so miles.
If he buys eggs at cents dozen, but
ter at cents pound, chickens at 4
cents pound cheaper than he can buy

merely for his own family use-how

OLD EANEUiL HALL
Cradle of American Liberty Is
! Soon to Be Restored.
Boston Landmark, Erected in 174o, for
: Scores Of Years Afforded Place for
Patriotic Gatherings.

Faneuil hall is to be made f1reproof,
ialso made over on the old model. New
York has an interest in the matter 1t
fwas a native of New York state, Peter
fFaneuil, born in New Rochelle, who
built the hall and presented it to Bos-
ton in 1740. When he died three years
later 1T was the scene of memorial ex-
ercises in his honor. What glorious
patriotic meetings have been held in
1.-THE building and it's recOnstructiOns
since that time; in the Revolutionary
war and all our wars, in abolition
times and whenever the times demand
ed that free speech should have utter
ance,' observes the New York Sun.
No political campaign in the old
days was complete without mass meet
ings In Faneuil hall, on whose saw
'duSt-covered floor stood the democracy
to listen, to applaud and to show it's
displeasure. What wellspring of in
spiration the picture of Webster reply
Ing to Hayne has been for two gen.
'erationS! The sight of that quaint
and hOmely building, as one approach
.,eS it in the hustle and tide of city life,
brings back the stirring scenes of Rev
'olutionary days when it got it's name
of the Cradle of American Liberty.
Faneuil hall, with it's market below
and meeting hall above, is to be re-
stored to the original fabric and de-
sign as well as may be, and to be made
as secure as possible against fire. In
1761 all but the shell was burned. Not
since then, we believe, have the build
Ing and its additions been seriously
threatened. Yet it has always been
.deplorably combustible. Here is what
the finance commission has to saw
about it:
I'm the basement the floor timbers
are unprotected. The refrigerator
rooms are packed with cork The cork
and the unprotected timbers give an
opportunity for fire damage in this
part of the building. The windows
iare of common glass with wooden
'sashes and present u danger from fire
ION the outside. Over the upper hall
there Is a dumb waiter running from
the room used as a kitchen which Is
constructed of inflammable material" :"
And there Is much more of the same
KIND. 1t is painful thought that
modern Boston has neglected the Cra-
die Of American Liberty. Such, how
ever, seems to be the case.
What columns of grief and reminis-
:cence there would have been If fire had
gutted it and leveled it's walls! Big
,Faneuil hall is to be saved for poster
:1ty now. Bravo, Boston! Has the
war walked you up to your duty? "If
properly DONE" says report Of the
society Of architects, "the architectural
restoration proposed will make of this
building unique possession of the
city" Faneuil hall has always been
that. Guard 1t werf.

first machine, people heard of the won
derful invention and broke into his
house. They carried away the model
and soon dozen similar machines
were in use. This was before Whit
ney could obtain patent. He worked
night and day to produce another
model so that he could go to Wash
ington and patent it, but he was handi-
capped for lack of funds. At length
the patent was secured and then two
years of struggle elapsed before Whit
ney succeeded in proving the superb
ority Of his machine over the imita-
tons.
In 1895 he returned from the South
to New Haven, where his factory was
located, only to find that 1T had burned
down. All his machines and papers
were destroyed. In answer to his let
ter apprising Miller what had occurred
the latter replied, II will devote all
my time, all my thoughts, all my exer-
tons and all the money can earn or
borrow to encompass and complete
the business we have undertaken"
Whitney set to work to replace his
factory. He had great difficulty in
securing the necessary capital. To
add to his difficulties, certain manu-
facturer in England stated that the
product Of the machine was unsatis-
factory. Whitney wrote to Miller,
1.-The extreme embarrassments which
have been for long time accumulat-
ing upon me have now become so great
that it will be impossible for me to
struggle against them many days
longer"
He was still forced to fight in the
courts because of infringements. Law
suits went against him.
At last Whitney succeeded in SELL
ing rights Of his machine to the state
of South Carolina for $4,000. He re-
peated this in North Carolina and Ten
nessee. But then when success
seemed within his grasp, South Caro-
lima attempted to recind its action and
announced it would not pay the $780,
600 and tried to have the money al
ready advanced to Whitney returned.
Affairs were at the darkest point in
Whftney's long struggle. Just as he
was about to give up, South Carolina
thought better Of its decision and paid
the inventor in full.
But better day seems to have ar
rived for inventors. Modern indus
trial progresS has made so many de-
mands for better methods that inven-
! tors are now eagerly sought after and
usually treated fairly. Financial aid
is easier to secure. The individual
investor, when he purchases his bonu
may be assisting the development Of
an invention every bit as revolution
airy as the cotton gin. Without the
aid of his thrift the worlds progress

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been a necessary adjunct to the well
fare of the state, community and indi-
vidual. The argument, "Good roads
cost lots of money" may in reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles,
but is incorrect when considered in
reality. Good roads must be paid for,
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
On teams, harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost Of hauling on poor
roads is costing the grower far more
than the price of building and keeping
In repair the very best roads. He is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and, besides, is put to
much Inconvenience and worry.
In short, good roads cost nothing.

tenn of roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
structed. 1t is therefore essential that
after a road is once built, great care
should be taken in its upkeep. There
is no question that the cost of proper
maintenance is many times saved In
the increased economic value of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the upkeep
of roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfac-
ing material; second, the conditioning
of roads that have had little, if any,
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care.
and while their maintenance problem
is q very important and necessary one,
this class of roads represents only a
lesser portion. The greater percent,
age of roads in the state are not I'M
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority of the people
and this kind of road will always pre-
dominate, it is very necessary that at.
tention be directed to proper ways and
means of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work Is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased. and while
this work is going on the unimpr0ved
roads should be kept in as good condi-
ton as possible at minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ
tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He is the fellow most interested, and
a small amount of intelligent atteni
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section of the road.
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth of any state would
mean a system of earth roads that
could be pointed to with pride.

It has been said that there Is room
for just so much in the human brain
and If ones ability is as highly spe-
cialized as an inventors, there is no
chance Of being capable in business
affairs. Certainly, this has been borne
out in the case of most inventors.
Those servants of civilization have,
almost without exception, faced finan-
cial difficulties of the most disheart-
ening character. Only few were for
tunate in connecting up with men OF
business ability who relieved them of
financial responsibilities.
Watt, the inventor of the steam en-
CINE, was so situated. When he start
ed his experiments he was the pos
SCISSOR Of prosperous instrument
making business, employing sixteen
men. He soon became greatly in debt
and formed partnership with a Doc
tor Roebuck, who agreed to pay So
600 of his debts, provide money for
further experiments and secure a pat
ent. In return for these advances he
became two-thirds owner. After the
two had achieved partial success Doc
tor Roebuck suffered financial re-
verses. He was forced to transfer his
interest to Matthew Boulton, famous
merchant of Birmingham, to whom he
was in debt. Boulton was just the
sort of business genius Watt required.
He built a factory for the manufac-
ture of steam engines and financial
difficulties hampered Watt no more.
Edison, on the other hand, early in
his career refused an offer for q part
ner. Although he has built up large
fortune he has frequently lost prac-
tically everything he possessed and
been forced to start all over again.
His "business methods" were some
times impractical in the extreme. Once
Edison was offered 100000 for an
