Be Little Doubt sambo Was Sin
eere In His duplication.

Representative Christopherson of
South Dakota tells a good story about
q darky who was short Of meat at
home and selected his pastors smoke
house as a likely place to get a nice
ham. As he was leaving with a big
one under his arm the pastor sudden
ly appeared before him and said:
"why, Sambo, what are you doing In
my smokehouse at this time Of nightf"
To which the trembling darby re-
piled: "Ah, sub. All just come In to
pray. subj"
whereupon the pastor said: IF that
Is the purpose OF this visit here, then
you just get down and pray"
Thereupon the darby sank on his
knees. raised his eyes and hands to
heaven and offered up this prayer !:
"0h, Lord, l pray that you now
promptly dismiss US 30 that we may
depart In peace."-Exchangc.

change, London, England, Seem
Inoly immune to Flames

One OF the landmarks Of London
is the huge grssshopper Of copper
which surmounts the Royal ex-
change.
1t has survived two fires and is
all that is left Of the original ex-
change, which was swept away by
the great fire Of 1866 II was saved
and placed on top Of the second ex-
change, which in its turn was de-
stroyed by fire in 1888. The grass
hopper was the only part Of the
building TO escape, and was after
wards placed on the third Royal eX-
change in the position it occupies
today.
A quaint story is attached to this
relic Of the past. The grasshopper
was adopted as a crest by Sir Thorn
as Gresham, the founder OF the ex-
change, in memory Of the creature
that saved his life when he was a
poor and starving boy.
He was lying in a helpless condi-
ton by the side Of a country road,
and probably would have persisted
Of. hunger had not passer-by been
attracted to his position by the
croaking Of grasshopper.

Minded Glasgow Newspaper.

r. NJ. MacGregor told the following
story at luncheon of the Scottish
curriers' in New Glasgow: A New
Glasgow shipping firm was having
built a steamship on the Clyde and
gave it the name of Micmac. The odd
ity of the name aroused considerable
curiosity. The Nova Scotian captain
was asked the derivation Of the name.
Good-naturedly the captain replied
that Mic" was for the Irish and
MAC" for the Scottish Next day the
captain was astOnished to find this
explanation Of the name featured In
the Herald. He sent for the reporter
and explained that "Micmac" was the
name of tribe of Indians In Nova
Scotia. To his further astonishment
the following day the Herald carried
q correction. reading as follows:

IMPROVED
ROADS
COUNTRY OF GOOD HIGHWAYS
States Best System of Improved
Roads In World.

The new federal highway act will
give the United States the best high
way system In the world. This means
greater comforts for sightseers as they
motor over the country, and it means
direct public benefits In better trans
portation of farm products to shipping
points. Money expended for improved
highways Is money wisely invested,
providing the program Is kept within
the ability Of taxpayers to pay the bill
without burdening themselves unduly.
About 10000 miles Of road are In
Guided in the system being mapped out
by federal and state engineers. The
federal highway act requires that all
federal aid be spent on a connected
system consisting Of not more than
per cent of the road mileage In each
state, and that this whole scheme shall

Several states have adjusted sOmes
what difficult problems from neighbor-
ing states. For example, the Nebras

to follow with road plan which will
fit like pictures on toy blocks. Under
the federal act, only roads certain to
be on the general system have been
approved for construction
The days of, HIGHWAY building by the
farmers In their spare time is becom-

being done on a big scale now.
