DUSKY WORKER OF MIRACLES
Negro Saint, Forbidden to Exercise
Power, Put White Bishop In
Something Of a Hole.

Long ago when Peru was a jewel In
the Spanish crown, there lived In that
country a negro of such remarkable
sanctity that his miracles rivaled those
of the best white saints of his time.
Fearing for the supremacy Of his race,
the Spanish bishop took the precau-
ton of forbidding this dark-skinned
saint to give any further exhibitions
of his power, an order which was &C.
cepted with the humility that marks
the real saint of every age, land or
color. Now, the Spaniards built a
cathedral In Lima, and during the
building of it a workmen fell from the
topmost ~scaffolding before the horri-
fed eyes of the holy negro. 1t was
a fearful dilemma. A seconds delay
and the man would be dashed to
pieces. "Stop!" he shouted; and leav-
ing the workman hanging In midair
he sought out the bishop and ex-
planned the situation. II the bishop
liz not want a poor son of Ham to
perform miracles, would he prefer to
come and do the job himself? The
bishop wisely chose to allow his black
sheep to return to the cathedral and
carry on; the workman fell up
again gently to his scaffolding. and
the work Of building went happily On.

HOW TO PATCH GRAVEL ROAD
Work Should Always Be Done When
Road 10 Wet, Preferably When
Water ls Standing In Ruts.

Patching is usually neglected OF
done In such a way as to u two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That Is the invariable result
of filling a rut too full. This work
should always he done when the road
Is wet, preferably when the water is
still standing in every little hollow on
the road surface, so that the workmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rut is a very large one.
1t is always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into 1t. rather than to
raise a sideboard and attempt to dump
a part of the load. Patching done In
the proper manner when the road is
wet, followed by a road drag, will
maintain an old gravel road surface
as good as new until II is so badly
worn that an entirely new surface In
required. The gravel should never be
poorer than that forming the surface
layer of the old road. and especially
should contain a little, but not an ex-
cess Of clay.
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1921-07-08

about t~wo-thirds, clay One-third. As
the purpose of the clay is to fill the
voids and coat the grains of sand, six
inches of loose, or three inches of COM
pact clay should make a sand-clay sur
face of the proper mixture between
eight and ten inches thick.
After the clay is spread, it will gen.
orally be found advisable to cover II
with a little sand, which can be done
by means of the road machine or
grader. The next step is thorough in
corporation of the materials. The mix
of ways and to suit the facilities of
the builder. If the work is done just
preceding or during the rainy season
it may be left entirely to traffic, with
frequent shaping by the road grader,
or drag, after heavy rains, but this
process is hard on traffic and requires
a long time. The mixing can be done
most efficiently by means of a disk
harrow either during or Immediately
after a rain, or the water may be
added with a sprinkling cart. The
first partial mixing may be done dry
but the final mixing must be thorough
and should be done when the entire
road surface is completely saturated
with water until a plastic m%ortar-like
mixture is secured. This should be
followed by a final shaping with the
road machine and compacting By
either a roller or by traffic.

The Man al the Window


OF course, the first thing ! did. the
morning after that adventure in the
coal yard, was TO tell the boss all
about it, and | was just foxy enough
TO do 1t when Mr.. Ripley was present.
Mr.. N%OrcrOss didn't say much and,
for that matter, neither did the law
yer, though he did ask the boss a
question or two about the real facts
In the Midland r~ight-of-way squabble.
But | noticed, after that, that our
man Tarbell was continually turning
up at all sorts of times, and In all
sorts of odd places, so | took 1t that
Ripley had given him his tip, and
that he was sort of safeguarding Mr..
Norcross on the quiet, though l am
sure the boss didn't know anything
about that part of 1.-THE was such a
square fighter himself that he prob
ably wouldn't have stood for it if he
had.
Meanwhile. things grew warmer and
warmer in the tussle we were making
to pull the old Short Line out of the
mud; warmer in a number Of ways,
because, in addition to the fight for
the public confidence, we began just
then TO have a perfect epidemic of
wrecks.
The boss turned the material trou-
bic over to Mr.. Van Britt and devoted
himself pretty strictly to the public
side of things. Everywhere, and on
every occasional dinners at the diff
ferent chambers of commerce, and
public banquets given to this. that, or
the other visiting big-wig-he was al
ways ready to get on his feet and tell
the people that the true prosperity of
the country carried with 1T the pros
perity of the railroads; that the two
things were one and inseparable; and
that, when 1t came right down to basic
