CHICAGO, July 23. Back of a
breach of promise suit brought by
Holen Hada, against Joseph Mayto, Is
a difference of opinion as to who
hould pay for the nuptial feast. Tho
answer to tho question will In a
measuro decide the case. Miss Hada

to bo married In December and that
tbo Hconso was Issued. Mayto re

sisted that ho pay for tho wedding
supper, It Is said.

tbat, since Mayto would not "settle,"
they need not get married.

torney, "and Mayte gave her ?G, all
tho money he had with him. Then
tho trouble began."
It also is charged that Mayto gave
Miss Hada a locket and leter got It

with a wedding ring, but that he
neyer presented her with tho ring.
FIVE HUNDRED AND A FARM.
Farmer of Indian-Chinese Extraction
Offers Dowry For Daughter.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., July 23.
David Toulee, a successful market
gardener and hunter of Alfalfa, Is
reported here to bo offering special
Inducements in order to procure a
white husband for his daughter.
Forty acres of choice farm land,
$500 In cash and a nice band of
horsea are the dowry which awaits
the fortunate suitor, the conditions
imposed being merely that the man
be of white blood,
Toulee Is one of tho interesting
characters of the valley. He is of
Indian-Chinese extraction, and has
made tho qualities begotten of both
lines of ancestors prove of advantage
to him. In the spring of the year
when the vegetation Js tho great
feature of this country his Inherited
skill as a market gardener shows lt
aolf, and ho Is usually tho first to
market tho greens and vegetables.
Throughout tho summer he works
a a tijler of tho soil, and as a farm
er reaps good profits on his land
When winter conies and there is no
more farming to be done his Indian
nature asserts itself and there is no
hunter more wily or tireloss, more
patient or successful. '
Home Trade Homilies.
It's all very well for you to think
you're doing yourself justice by buying
your supplies from the big city many
miles away, but In the long run you're
doing an injustice to your descendants,
who are supposed to live in the town
which1 you aro killing off by neglecting
to patronise home Industries.
TW may save an occasional nickel by
ordering "bargains" through mall order
catalogues, but don't you lose at least
o nickel's worth of your self respect
when you happen to meet one of the
homo merchants whom you have;
known all your life and from whom
you could have bought the same bar
gain? Governor Johnson says one of the
great issues of today has to do with
tho curbing of the trusts. The chances
are ninety-nine to a hundred that you
agree with Johnson, no matter what
party you may belong to. Very, well.
How about tho big mall order trust,
which Is organized to kill off country,
merchants Are you a supporter of the
mall order' trust?
If; you are a farmer and sell your
produce to the local stores and then
stick stamps on letters ordering ordi
nary household articles from a city
many miles away, wouldn't you think
It the proper sort of reciprocity If the
town merchants should quit dealing in
fresh vegetables and Biipply only can
ned goods to their customers?
Throughout tho country for some
months we have heard the cry that
"there is no money in circulation."
Times have been tight. Feople who
Veep up tho habit of buying mall order
goodB on the slightest pretext or provo
cation may expect to hear It said that
there Is no money In circulation around
home. 'Cause why? They send it out
side of the community.
1 Tree Planting Along Roads.
The Stockton (Cal.) Arbor club has
commenced an active campaign to
rulse funds for tho purpose of saving
the fourteen miles of trees planted
along four roads leading out of Stock
ton. The scarcity of moisture this
season makes it necessary that the
trees be wateied several times, and.ad
dIMonal funds are necessary to carry
the many fine trees that have been
growing through tho summer. It Is
also the intention of the Arbor club to
later extend the tree planting on the
four roada already lined with trees.
Officers of tho organization hope be
fore many years to have the main
thoroughfares leading to Stockton nice
shady lanes.

6 iS OFF
BOARDS WITH FORMER
WIFE AND HIS SUCCESSOR
Woman Says lie Eats at tho Fam
ily Table, Pays Up and Acts
Like Any Other Hoarder.
DETROIT, July 23. William Na
varro, whoso arm In a sling has boon
of great aid to him in tho streets In
offering shoo laces and pencils for
sale, was taken to the police station,
when It was learned that tho sup
posed mendicant was boarding nt tho
house of tho woman from whom ho
was divorced last fall. The police
found $72S in the man's pockets.
Navarro's former wife called on
Supt. Downey for a permit to see
him in his cell.
"Doesn't your husband object to
his presence in the house?" she was
asked.
"Not in the least," sho replied.
"They eat at tho samo table; he pays
his board and acts like a boarder
should, and my husband is satisfied;
so why should any one make a fuss?"
Mrs. Helsncr appeared to know all
about her first husband's financial af
fairs and roadiJy told of his hoard.
"He broko his arm by falling off
the roof of the Packard Automobile
Works last October," sho explained.
"His arm did not heal quickly and he
started out selling shoo laces and
pencils. I helped him count his col
lections a,nd know that he had more
than $700 last Friday night."
A Bank President.
Mrs. Jennie P. Miller Is the president
of a state bank in Nebraska, of which
her son is vice president. Mrs. Mil
ler's husband had been the president
of the Institution!, and upon his death
last fall she was'promoted by the board
of directors from"the vice presidency
to the chief office.
She Expected Visitors.
Mr. Subbubs Do you expect any vis
itors tonight, my dear? Mrs. Subbubs
Well, considering that Bridget's go
ing to leave, Willie's got the measles,
the cellar Is flooded and the grocer
hasn't called for two dhys yes, I do.
Ally Siopefs Half Holiday.
According to an exchange, most trav
elers In Egypt are emphatically of the
opinion that the quaintest sign in all
that .land 'of wonderful and curious
sights is this rare, unique notice which
Is posted outside of one of the royal
scpulchers near Luxor, on the banks of
the Nile: "This tomb Is especially re
served .for luncheons!"
t n .
It is not unusual for women's feet to
be human ''barometers, but there is said
to be a woman in Europe whose hair
serves the samo purpose. Her red
locks turn black at the approach of
bad 'weather and only consent to glow
when the day Is fair.
Eating House Language.
It takes. tho frequenter of New York's
cheap restaurants quite awhile to be
come familiar with the lunguago' in
which his orders for cdlbies are trans
mitted to the cook, ne soon learns
that "Beef undi" rai'aua beef and
beans; and that "nam and!" refers to
ham with the same nutritious vegeta
ble. Before long he grasps the fact that
"Draw one!" is au order for coffee.
"Draw one In the dark!" meaning
black coffee; that "Brown the wheats!"
Is the correct command for buckwheat
cakes, and that "Ila'sh In the steamer!"
Is the open sesamo to the supply of
corned beef hash.
' Perhaps you 'may know eggs, fried
on'jQue side, .are orde'rel In Bowery
eating housesas "Whltewlngs, sunny
side up!" Recently a '-visitor ordered
fried "eggs apd "gasped' half a minute
before he could answer the durky
waiter's polite query: Yes, sir. ' Will
yo' hab dem blind or lookin' at yo'?"

CAUSE OFBAD RDADS,
Businesslike Methods Not Used
In Highway Construction.
THE RIGHT SYSTEM LACKING.
Road Bosses Should De Removed Fram
Politics and Made to Pass an Ex
amination Showing Their Efficiency.
Change Needed In Road Laws.
A back number tho bad country
road is a back number, it is us much
out of place and date as the grain cra
dle or flail thrasher. They hud bud
roads away back lu grandfather's time
ever since people began to travel, to
haul stuff In modern narrow tlivd
wagons. They had good roads away
I back In Caesar's time in the old worlJ.
What progress have we iiiiule In road
building? Very little. Oxer three
fourths or all the miles of country
roads In tho midxvesl are tlll unim
proved, says the Ag.'lctiltuinl South
west. In most states i)0 per cent xvould
be more nearly correct. Of course
ex-cry bit of road gets Its anmu'.l tear
ing up by the road oillclals, who druw
a salary for calling it road "Improve
ment." Why is It thus? Them's a rcabon
why country roads ate bad. Ci:u't lay
it to the weather or the road mateilal
either. As one farmer says, "I have
seen In twenty-three years hundreds of
thousands of dollars of tuxpiij era'
money expended on the roads iu town
and country; but, after all, our roads
are still as bad as ever." As bad as
ever! What a comment to make upou
the appearance of country homes had
it been said that the farms had not
been Improved iii twenty-three years!
But, no; the fnrms have Improved, the
towns haxe groxvn. and bit itieas places
nre better tliau they xvcru ixvuity
thrce years ago, but the country roads
are "as bad as ever" after spending
fortunes upon them.
Tho reason is tlds road building i.i
not done In the same businesslike
manner as other things are !ii.nui;ed
We have seen the creamery coimc into
existence. Wo have seen the skilled
buttermaiccr turning out carloads of
butter liner than that made by the
farmers before tho creameries took
the Job off their hands. Seleuea and
business methods have made the
change In buttcrmaking. But the
roads are "as bad as ever" because It
Is a farmer's job. to be done when It
suits his convenience, It is done lyj
men who have never studied the sci
ence of road building. It is done Ina
hit and miss method devoid of business
principles. This is xvhy hundreds of
thousands of the taxpayers' money hare
failed to make the roads uny better.
And ngaiu we say it Is not because- of
bad weather or poor road building
material. Tho buttermaker takes bad
cream and makes pretty good butter
from it because be knows how. Of
course he could do better with .good
cream. Likewise the skilled road
builder can make good roads out of
just plain country dirt because ho
knows how. Of course he could do
better with crushed rock and all of
that. It is not a scarcity of money or
of material, but a lack of the rlrht sys
tem, that is responsible for bad roada.
Dollar for dollar what xve xvant to
see Is a dollar's worth of good roads
for a dollar spent In rood tax. And
why not have It? Isn't It about time
to quit pouring money Into n mud
hole? Most roads could have been
nicely paved xvith the dollars they
have cost since first laid out. Where
has that money gone? Don't cry
"graft." Of course there has been too
much politics ah, polities; there's the
rub but there has been no political
graft to speak of in connection with
country roads. The trouble Is the sys
tem Is and has been xvroug. Road
building is for the public good, Jus,t ns
mnil carrying is. The mall carriers
are under civil service, out of politics
entirely. They nre paid for knowing
their business. They must give a dol
lar's worth of service for a dollar In
pay. Why not handle the road prob
lem that way? Remove tho road boss
from politics and make him pass an
examination showing his efficiency.
Keep him just no loug,AB ho doe3 his
work well. Then ypu will see good
dirt roads wherever .there Is nothing
bettor. Enough "money will soon bo
saved In road tax! to macadamize every
mile of the main .traveled country
roads. t
A farmer would b'e' foolish to go
ahead xvith a large Job of tiling xvith
out having tho whole thing mapped
out and levels established by some one
capable of doing It. Then he would be
equally foolish should he not study the
capacity of tile needed to drain tho
area Intended. It Is good business
sense for him to hire a competent sur
veyor or ditcher. Just one tile put In
xvrong will ruin the whole plan of
drainage. But that samo fanner will
pay money every year in road tax and
let men who know notldng about road
building squander the money. It is
time this foolishness was stopped.
It xxill be stopped when the farmers
wno pay the money and who use the
roads get together nnd demand a
change of system, demand that it be
eliminated from politics, demand that
tho toad laxvs bo changed from nnti
quoted forms to Euit the needs of a
progressive age of business cense.
Good Road Requisites.
D. Ward King, the original road
drag man. Bays there nre three requi
sites for a good road It must he oval,
hard and smooth, because nil three of
there conditions arc necessary to se
cure drainage. Without drainage the
best road moon goes to pieces.
