European countries linvo long dis
carded narrow tiros lu order to pre-
Korro nnd build Uiclr highways, and
lilno because It Is an economy In tho
use of tlio whlcla nnd Uio weight that
a horso Is nblo to draw, Bays t tip Good
Noads Mngnxltio. Wldo tiros nro not
only lighter In their draft than narrow
or ones under nearly nil conditions, but
they roll tho roads smooth Instead of
cutting them to pieces. A four Inch
' tire on n wagon currying n heavy load
is u road builder.
In Fmnce every freight and market
wngon Is n rondmnkor. The tires nro
from tlireo to ten Inches In width, usu-
a NAitnow nnn boad.
nlly from four to six Inches. Most
loads are carried on two wheeled carts
with n single horse, the loads weighing
over two tons. With the new four
wheeled vehicles used In France, tho
tires nro rarely less than six inches In
width and the rear axle about fourteen
inches longer than the fore axle, so
that the rear or hind wheels run about
one inch outside of tho iovel tolled by
the front wheels.
In Gerinauy the law prescribes that
nil the wagons drawing heavy loads,
puch as coal, brick, earth, stone, etc..
must have tires at least four Inches
wide. It is worse thnn useless to cre
ate oxpensive nnd vnluablo highways
to havo them only cut to pieces by the
use of narrow tires ns now used for
the hauling of heavy loads In tills coun
try. When nn expensive highway has
been created it must lo taken care of.
jind methods heretofore permitted
must bo changed In order to help main
tain it Wldo tires are of tho greatest
value In preserving ordinary dirt roads.

tlio Work of the Outre linn Griiwn
Since lluclinnnu'a Time.
Next to tho sieiiibcra of tho cabinet,
pcrhops no man in tho political life of
the national capltnl occupies a inoa con
splcuous position thnn William ioob,
Jr., secretary to President Itoosevclt.
Secretary Loeb has been tlie present
chief executive's right hand man since
he went to Washington lu 1001, and ho
has been nearer to the president during
the past two years than any other man.
When President Hoosovolt was gov
ernor of New York Mr. Loeb was his
private secretary, served In the same
capacity when he bcennic vice presi
dent, nnd when, nt the death of tho Into
William McKlnley, Vlco President
Itoosevclt became president Mr. l.oob
still remained with him, acting then as
assistant secretary, for Mr. Cortelyou
was the president's secretary, as he
had been under McKlnley.
As secretary to tho president Mr.
Loob receives a senator's salary, $o,000
a vear. Ills rank Is but a step below
that of bends of departments, and his
olllce has been thrice the stepping stone j
to me cauiuet, uie most recent instance
being the advancement of Mr. Cortel
you to the head of tho new department
of commerce nnd labor. The oftlce of
tho secretnry. Judging by the past, of
fers a splendid opportunity to a young
mnn of talent nnd ambition.
An Incumbent of tills olllce must now
be continued by the senate. Just before
President McKlnley's first term the
title of the olllce was changed from
"private secretary" to "secretary."
"Mr. Secretary." the same form of ad
dress applied to cabinet members. Is
employed by White House visitors who
greet Mr. Locb at least by those
versed in official etiquette.
To preside over one of the busies
offices in the country Is no small task,
but Mr. Locb had watched the routine
of the olllce for many months before
ho took the position vacated by Mr.
Cortelyou. A perfectly clean desk
WILLIAM LOEB, JIl.
awaited him when ho assumed olllce.
Such bad been the perfect executlvo
ability of Secretary Cortelyou that no
unfinished business was carried for,
ward. I
At present Secretary Loob, with tils
corps of assistants, is nt Oyster Hay
In tho executive offices fitted up lu tho
Mooro block, but when In Washington
he occupies the now otlleo in tho much
criticised White Houso annex. He sits
nt a broad, flat topped muboguny de'sk
and faces the door through which all
visitors enter. At his right hand is a ,
smaller desk occupied by Assistant
Secretary Hnrnes. On his left is u
largo room filled with clerks nnd ste
nographers, and on his right Is a door
leading to tho president's prlvato olllce.
Tact und a wldo ucqunlntuuce with
men of affairs lire tho keynotes of .Sec
retary Loob's success. Ho Is not 11 col

mcsHPiiecr boy at twelve, but later re
ceived u high bchool cducutlon und a
thorough training lu stenography. Ho
U u native of Albany, N. V is of Ger
man parentage und early developed a
taste for polities. He wns secretary of
tho Itepubllcan county committee when
scarcely more than u youth nnd an of
ficer of a local Itepubllcan club.
When only twenty-two (ho is now
thirty-six) Mr. Loeb was elected olll
clal stenographer of tho lower houso
of tho Now York legislature, u position
which demanded great skill and was
fraught with many responsibilities for
0110 of his yenrs, yet lie performed tho
work with ontlro satisfaction.
During tho first tow months of Mr.
Itooscvolt's administration as governor
of New York, Mr. Loob served ns ono
of tho four executive stenographers.
Ho soon nttrncted tho attention of his
chief, who promoted him to ttio post
of private nnd confidential secretary.
Binco then Mr. Loeb has been In closo
touch with Mr. Itoosovelt. Mr. Loob
was married In December, 1002, to
Miss Kuthnrlno Dorr of Albany.

JUMPERS
tOrlctnal.1
Hen Ilnllowell was returning to hit
claim. Ho had been to Frisco for 11 (
month trying to Induce some ono with
means to "grubstake" him, but had
failed. Tills was not becnuso ho dM
not have a good claim, but because tin
capitalists he met did not care to looi'
into It. Hen was very gloomy. A ycir.
before ho had married the girl of hit
choice In tho cast and n week nftei
the marriage had returned to his min
ing operations. Ho had hoped befort
this to bring- his Susie to him, but th
fates had been against him. Aud now
his failure to secure means with which
to prosecute his work made him doubly
despondent
Ilofon? him. comlni: on horseback, tin
broad rim of his felt lint tlnpplng wltb
each lope, was a mnn whom horecog-,
nlrod ns Andy Kitchen, ttio owuer of a
claim not far from his own.
"Howdy, Hen?" said Andy, grinning'
sffubly, and without lessening his pact '.
udded. "Yer claim's Jumped."
"What's that to laugh at?" called Hen
sharply. "How many of 'em?"
"Two. Hut ono on 'em I reckon you
can handle without trouble. He's a lit
tie cuss. T'otlier may down you."
Hen would have asked more ques
tions, but Ilnllowell seemed to lie In s
burn- and rode on,
Here was tuoru
trouble. Hen was a peaceful, ploddln
man. beloved by his neighbors, and
the last man in the world to tight ex
cept for his lights. Hut he was not a
nun to suffer Imposition. Hesltles, he
had strong fnlth lu his "lio In thfl
ground" nnd relied upon It to unite tiliu
in time with his beloved wife. He ro It
on, considering what he should do. Ill
had no faith In peaceful measures fot
Jumpers were not respecters of Justice
and usually did not Jump a claim tin
less prepared to maintain their ground..
He Dually concluded to recoimoller the
Jumpers from a distance nnd watch fot
an opportunity to catch them apart
It wns about 10 o'clock iu tho morn-.
ing anil u ungui summer uay wncn
Hen left the road aud struck a trail
til rough a wood which led to his cluim,
ntw but luilf a mile distant The birds
were singing lu the trees, nnd every
thing about him was so peaceful that
he approached ttio encounter before
him with still greater reluctance. His
young wife was ever presont in his
thoughts, nnd he could not dismiss n
picture of her anguish If It were fated
the should hear that he had been killed
by the Jumpers. After going as far on
horseback as he dared, lest he attract
attention he dismounted and proceeded
on foot, pausing behind a tree lu sight
of his claim nnd his cabin beside It.
There was no one nhout, but the cab
In door stood open, and smojko Issued
from the stovepipe chimney. Hetwceu
two trees swung n hammock, in the
center of which wns a bundle. Hen
eyed nil this cautiously, listened till he
was convinced that there was no ouo
prwetit. then boldly went forward.
Curious to learn what was In the hum
mock, he pulled apart Its sides and re
vealed u roll of blankets. Hut ns the
blankets contained foinetlilug, tie pull
ed aside a corner covering one end of
the bundle and roveuled
Well, what Hen revealed wns no
more striking than the expression of
his face on seeing it. The stern look
tic hnd worn up to tills moment melted
Into one ns kindly as, more kindly than,
had ever rested on bis features. He
looked down Into the face of a sleep
ing baby.
For a time the diminutive creature
slept on, then began to stretch Its llttlu
legs nud fling Its little fists about, ut
last oiH'iilng a pair of bluo eyes, which
It fixed Intently on Hen.
"Itcckon you're the little Jumper,"
said Tien, giving the baby his finger
to clutch. "I hope tho big ono Is no
more formidable If your dad has
taken my property I don't see how I
can huve tho heart to dispossess him."
Hy tills time Hen wus on his knees
beside tho baby, making nil kinds of
grimaces und saying ull kind') of ridic
ulous things to show his good will and
attract tho child's attention. Thoni
sudden thought struck him. Ho rei
inemhored Andy Kitchen's grin when
he announced that tho cluim had been
Jumped. r
"Hy thunder!" ho exclaimed. "Sup
pose the big Jumper is a woman!"
For n moment his face fell. If tblH
wore so. what un uncomfortable situ
ation! r.veii tho shooting he hud ex
pected was not so bud as that.
Ho wus so engrossed with thin
thought nnd the huhy, In whose face
