student for tbe military college of
St. Cyr. Ills employers warned bim
that the future army officers took very
little Intercut lu belles lettre and that
their principal occupation In class was
raising chaos.
Itichepln's first lesson began amid
a storm of whistling and catcalls. But
tbe young Instructor' voice lioomed
out above the uproar and Imperiously
commanded silence. "Gentlemen." be
said. "1 am not here because I like it
1 am here for my living. Is any one
of you going to staud In the way? If
there Is. 1 should be obliged If be will
tell me so face to face on tbe Place du

Blanc, the founder of tbe Monte Car

of the desperate character of many
of his customers. Knowing that tbey
included the scum and riffraff of the
world, he took precautions against
them. He never carried any money.
which fact he announced bo frequently
and publicly that It was known every
where along tbe Riviera that tbe mil
tionaire Blunc never bad a penny on
his person. But he carried in a pocket-
book a draft on red paper for severtfl
hundred thousand francs, payable to
the Indorsee. He feared kidnaping as
much as robbery, and In case of ab
duction be Intended to ransom himself
with this draft. But the instructions
at his office were not to cash a red
draft with his signature unless a tel
egrum was received from him ordering
it to be done.

upon telling my little five-year-old girl,
wbo was of a saving disposition, that
I would put her pennies In tbe bank

"Hurts?" I queried. ' "What do you

"1 know," she sobbed. "Tbey take

swells up. 1 .wou't take my money to
be educated." Delineator.

"I don't put much faith In proverbs."
said Brown to Jones. "For instance,
look at the oft quoted one, "A friend

has been that they wanted to borrow.
Give me the friends that are not lu

Various Davieo That Hv Bn Ud
b Fettering Prionrs.
n Vergil I to be fonnd tbe first re
corded lustare of the use of hand
cuffs, for th poet tell u that Proteus
wa thiia fettered nd rendered pow
erlc by Artatacu. wbo apparently
knew that even tbe god tliemselvee
were not proof against thl form of
persnnsloa.
In the fourth century B. C. an army
if victorious Greeks found several
chariot full of handcuffs among the
baggage of the defeated Carthaginian,
aud It I highly probable that tbe an
cient Egyptian bad some contrivance
of the kind. The word I derived
from the Anglo-Haxon "bandcop,"
whence come evidently the ilang
term "copper."
In earliest Hnion day "bandcop"
were used for noble and "foot cops"
for king, but lu tbe fourteenth aud
fifteenth centuries tbe word la up
planted by the term "aback bolt" and
"awlvel manacle," and tbe Instrument
were a cumbersome a the namea by
which Uiey were known.
L'p to the middle of the last century
there were two kinds of handcuff In
general use. One, known aa tbe "flexi
ble," was very like that which is
still used; the other kind, called the
"figure eight." wa used to restrain
violent prisoners It waa so fashioned
that tbe captive could not move his
bands aud was universally dreaded.
for the puln caused by a limb Immov
ably confined la almost unbearable.
A simple but powerful device for ae
curing prisoner wa the "twister.1
now ubolbtbed owing to tbe Injuries
inflicted. It consisted of a chain
with handles at each end. Tbe chain
was put around the wrists, and tbe
handles were brought together and
twisted until a firm grip was obtained.
Tbe least struggle on tbe part of tbe
captive and tbe chains bit deep Into
bl wrist. Of tbe same nature, but
made of wire. Is "la llgote," while In
an emergency wuipcoro nas proved
perfectly satisfactory.
Tbe handcuff used In some parti of
eastern Europe Is most primitive. It
consists of a V shaped piece of metal.
lu which tbe wrists are Inserted, tbe
oiien ends being then drawn together
by mean of a cross hook, which must
be kept taut tbe whole time. Tbe
most bandy form of cuff, which la In
general use at present,- comes from
America. It Is lighter and much less
clumsy than the old "flexible.'
It Is no easy matter to clap the
"bracelets" on a person who Is strug
gling violently. Inventors should turn
their attention to the subject, for much

Th Tuareg.
In his book "Across the Sahara"
Hans Viscber writes: "On a spot re
cently uncovered by the wind 1 picked
up blunt arrowheads aud knives, Car
thaginian coins, money lost by Ro
mans and Arabs, aud fragments of
beautifully colored marble slabs which
probably once adorned some Roman
villa on tbe hills."
Strange peoples were met In that
long march across tbe Sahara tbe
Tuaregs, for instance, wbo need not a
suffragist attack to bring them to their
senses, for "among tbe Tuaregs It Is
tbe man, the brute, who by ail the
laws of tbe country baa to obey the
woman. Descent is traced through
tbe mother. Woman shows ber proud

goes veiled."
Th Artist and Hi Work.
The great artists, like the great he
roes, have always done whatever came

Shakespeare chafed at the popularity
of the fool In tbe drama of his time
and then produced the fool In "Lear.
If either of them had waited for per
fect conditions and an Inspiration un
trammeled by circumstances be would
have done nothing. Tbey produced
masterpieces . because they made the
best of things as they were. And this

Good Wagon Roads Necessary.
Railroad rates cost a ceut grid
a half to three centa a ton mile.
People kick at the coat. The av
erage good Oregon wagon road
transportation costs 25 centa a
ton mile. The great majority ot
Oregon roads are not good and
cost from 50 centa to 11 a ton
mile. A hard furfuce rood of
macadam construction cost eight
cents for transportation a ton
mile, yet it Is only the farmer
wbo mires his empty wagon
when he tries to go to town in
tbe Oregon winter that kicka at
the cost.
The figures just given were ob
tained after careful computation
from every section of Oregon by
the Oregon Good Roads Associa
tion. Tbe contrast in costs on
good and bad roads has given the
Association more courage to con
tinue its fight for better-built
highways in this state. Railroad
rates make much difference in
costs to consumers and profits
to producers. Thus says 'the
Good Roads Association the in
creased transportation cost of
bad roads takes money from the
farmer's pocket and adds to the
price of living without profit
either to the producer or the con
sumer, since the mud, swallows
all the difference and never
makes returns.
When advocates of good roads
from every section of Oregon
went before the legislature last
week tbey had the tremendous
cost and the effective develop
ment restriction of bad roads in
mind. They were a little dis
appointed when some of the legis
lators urged that each county
should conduct its own road
building without help. It was
believed that broad-minded legis
lators wculd know that the very
purpose of their gathering to
make laws was to work in unity
for the good of the state and for
eivery county in the state, and
that concerted action in road
building was perhaps more Im
portant and more essential than
any other state activity. Gov
ernor Oswald West, in an inter
view, answered this mistaken
idea on the part of the legislators
when he said "It is a notorious
fact that the road work of the
state has been done in the past
upon a crazy-quilt hit and miss
plan which gave no permanent
relief from bad and often times
practically impassible roads.
There can be no boubt concern
ing my desire for the inaugur
ation of a sane and sensible sys
tem of building good .serviceable,
permanent highwanys in the
State of Oregon. I am heartily
in favor of the construction of
good roads, and hope to see the
time 'speedily arrive when the
pubic highways in this state will
be second to none. I trust,
therefore, that the gentlemen,
who are now banded together
for the promotion of the good
roads movement will keep ever
in mind the idea of the practical
and economical, and that out of
their united efforts will come for
Oregon a uniform and desirable
system of public road building. "
It was necessary for Judge
Lionel R. Webster, Dr. Andrew
C. Smith and others of the good
roads Association to say forcibly
before the Senate for the benefit
of uninformed opposing senators
that the proposed highway board
and commisioner does not spend
money obtained either from State
Aid or by counties bonding for
road building in counties, but the
county authorities locate the
roads and sbend the money while
the state board and highway
commissioner give advice aua
direction as to scientific con
struction of roads in each county.
The vote that fallowed showed
that a majority of the senate
were not slow in understanding
nor narrow in development
ambition. When the Highway
Board and Commissioner bill
was approved great satisfaction
was felt by the hundreds who
had come before the legislature,
because it was on the bill that
the whole great system
of road
making planned for
counties depended.
Oregon
It was
thought then that to secure the
passage of the other bills would
not be difficult, because upon
count it was found that a major
ity of Oregon legislators stand
for progressiveness and develop
ment and not for obstruction.
