How Stretch of Roadway In Trenton, Mo, Deemed a Failure For Traffic After Rainstorme, Converted Into an ideal Highway by Use of Kino.' Simple Invention. To overturn moss grown customs, to change the highway legislation of states, to revolutionize the r)ncltnak lug methods of the uatiou, to arrest the attention of the roadinakers of a continent, to Improve the common earth roads to an immeasurable de gree and at the same time save mil Hons of dollars by reducing road build ing expenses this Is the province of the simple, cheap, nucoutb, but efficient King drag. Little did 1 suspect when first I rode a drag down the highway that such claims would ever be made, says D. Ward King, the inventor. The initial trip was taken In the spring of 1S9G, and the result was so pleasing and satisfactory that the work HIOHWAT OF EAKTH. tFrom Good Uoada Magazine, New Vork-1 hns never lugged from then until now. The effect ou the mad was instantane ous. The passage of the drag wrought a wonderful change. Whereas the road had been very rough, with two deep ruts In evidence, after the drag had been used It was comparatively smooth, and the ruts, which before dragging stuck out like sure thumbs, were rendered unobtrusive and unob stinitlve. Before none but the hardi est adventurer dared drive out of the beaten track; afterward there was no need to cbooe a way, for nil the sur face was smoother than the best por tion had been. The stories told about the King drag and lis work are preposterous. They are unreasonable aud absurd, and yet they are absolutely truu. But I ask no one to believe, for my otily object in telling them Is to shock the public Into giving the new system a trial. Here Is one they arc telling in Iowa. In Cedar county a gentleman riding in a spring wagon on a dragged road drove out on one side to allow a four horse wagon load of logs to go by him. The loaded logs went merrily on their way, but the spring wagon bad to be dug out with a spade. 1'roni over nenr Trenton, Mo., comes another.

Michel, Prineville, Or namtually overflowed after every heavy rain. It regularly became a mass of mud and water. The com munity declared that It was a physical impossibility to till in enough earth to build a roadway, and the authorities were planning to condemn land for a new road a quarter of a mile away from the creek. At this moment some body suggested a test with a King drag. Although the creek still covers the roadway during each freshet, there has Iweu no serious difficulty with that road since the test began. To the man who drives a team the word gumbo means broken double trees, horses mired down ijnd other bad road calamities. A quarter of a mile of this sort of gumbo lies between my home and the railway station at Maltland. One morning when I board ed the train at Villisca. la., on my re turn from a lecture trip the trainmen said id response to my inquiry for news from down the road: "Well, sir, they had a terrible storm at Maltland last evening. When we stopped there the rain was falling in sheets. One could hardly see the depot." The train arrived at Maltland, aud I stepped into my buggy and drove borne over the gumbo quarter. 1 could see by the debris on the fence wires, still dripping wet. that water had stood three or four feet deep on the road during the night, yet there was not a puddle on its surface, and we traveled its length without the buggy wheels browing any mnd. Another season the floods covered this same gumbo quarter with water and kept it standing there for more than a week, the road being traveled every day. 1 npaled to the highway aulhorities to erect a barricade, for I felt n personal pride In that road, and the prospect of Its destruction gave tne great mental pain. Hut the author ities said they were powerless because they could stop public travel ouly when traveling became dangerous to the public, so they did nothing. At the end of the week the water reced ed, and this King dragged gumbo bou levard emerged from Its seven day baptism absolutely unharmed. A Patient Priecilla. Katie, of Pennsylvania Dutch descent, had served for ten years' in a wealthy Virginia family. For more than half of this term of service one Jacob of her own people had at intervals come a-call-ing. He had sat in the kitchen and watched the deft and skillful move ments of Katie with marked respect and ponderous admiration, but he had never "spoken." At length to ward the end of the seventh year she took the reins of destiny in her own hands and addressed her ad mirer thus: "Veil, Zhakob, if yer vanls me yer can zhust haf me." A light dawned in the mild blue eye of Jacob. Bringing his hand down gently on his knees, he re plied: "I vas zhust about to mention it." Harper's Monthly. For a Change. There was good talk at a tea par ty given once at the observatory of Cambridge, England. Sydney Smith was there, and, although he took the wonderful work of the place se riously, he had a light manner of expressing himself. The party"had been led up to look at Jupiter, and this was his comment: "Jupiter? If you hadn't told me I should have taken it for a bad shilling."

"I supposed you astronomers when you are ill are advised to change your stars just as we ordinary mortals are told to change our air." A Chance to Dry. Lord Dufferin alwavs said that the happiest years of his long ofli cial life were those spent in Calcut ta. He reveled in the sunshine. A friend one day exposulated with him for his reckless exposure, of himself to the weather. "Well, you see," said the viceroy, "they have always sent me to cold places. They sent me as viceroy to Canada, where one must live two-thirds of the year in buffalo furs. They sent me to St. Petersburg, where one has to hibernate like a bear. So when they ordered me to Iodia I rubbed my hands and said to myself, 'Now I can hang myself up to dry.' " THE AMOK SIGNAL "" When a Javaneee Goes Mad and Kill All Within Reach. On every side of me the violent closing of doors and shutters re sembled a rapid fire volley from ma chine guns. The Parapalang was deserted, and not a thing stirred in any direction. Not a sound was heard except the repeated "rap, rap, rap, rap !" It was the amok signal. It had started at some point in the city where an agent of police or possi bly a citizen had first taken from its hook a stont, solid wooden club and had struck a long, also solid, beam that hung suspended from an adja cent portico. It had been taken up instantly at many different poinU in Wcltevreden by citizens and po lice agents, so that the amok signal was flashed all over Weltevreden as quickly as if a central telephone or telegraph operator had flashed it over European wires. The signal meant that some unfortunate little brown Javanese had gone suddenly mad mad as only a Malay can be come. The repeated signals warned all who valued their lives to escape the maniacal rush of the dreaded amok runner. Around the corner I came upon a native stretched out stark and then upon a dog that was limping along with frightful cuts across its body. A hundred feet farther 1 bowl the first signs of life since the dreaded signal had first been sound ed. Almost at the same moment that I saw a small group of police agents, natives and a few Euro peans gathered on a lawn down the street there came the "finish" sig nal of three short raps repented in rapid succession. This signal, like the first which gave the alarm, con cerned the amok runner, only the signal now meant that the madman had been caught or dispatched. It was taken up in all directions. Peo-' pie emerged from their houses, and soon the little group on the lawn had grown into a veritable surging mob. When I came upon this scene I found a small, wiry Javanese stretched out on the lawn. He had evidently been stunned bv a blow toward making your scorch or crack and Authorities say that burn dry. Easy other kind besides Call and get Pur Aluminum Soarenir FREE while they last iroin a club in the hands of a po lice agent. Near him lay a knife, and the knife showed that it had been put to awful use very recently. The warning amok signals had been altogether Tain in the case of one European, for near by, in the entrance to his house, lay a promi nent planter, the victim of the mad Javanese, lie had been stablicil to the heart. Before the dead plant er reached the lod that was to be his last the little Javanese outside had recovered from the amok fever, was wondering what had happened to him and still more so at what ho had done and was led away for his execution. Emilo W. Voute in Harper's Weekly. Followed Directions. A lady staying in a hotel was frightened by a noise like that of a person running about in a room over the one she occupied. In "How to Be IIappv, Though Civil," the Eev. E. J. 'Hardy tells the story: The noise went on at intervals for two nights and then changed as if the occupant on the floor above had gone mad and was skip ping about. The lady did not be lieve in ghosts, but she was afraid of them, so she asked the proprie tor to investigate the mystery. It was a sick foreigner obeying the imperfectly understood direc tions of air English medical man. "Take the medicine two nights running, then skip a night." Youth's Companion. His Error. The young man who loved the daugh ter of the widow had called to get the mother's consent to lead the fair girl to the altar, but he blundered at the very outset. "I have come, madam." he began in a voice that was agitated and beseech ing, "to ask you for the blessed privil ege of working for your dear daughter, taking care of her, giving ber a home and" He got no further. The widow, with Indescribable eagerness, threw herself Into his arms. "I gladly give you the privilege," she cried. "You don't know how I have hoped and longed for a model man like you to be my darling daughter's fattier!" Chicago News. Why He Waa Gallant. A stout woman entered a crowded car and took hold of a strap directly In front of a man seated in the corner. As the car started she lunged against his newspaper and trod heavily ou his toes. As soon as he could cxtrlcato himself he arose and offered ber his scat. "You are very kind, sir," she said, panting for breath. "Not at all, madam." he replied.
