On It-am by experience to exer cise a certain amount of caution. If I only by attention to detail that on command Hi highest succeea. I Borer writ letter, for example. ! wa sitting on afternoon In my motor ear In front of tli V Inn, waiting for my chauffeur to obtain some cigar, when a handsome girl cam out My observation ha been fairly well tralued and, after a brief survey, I concluded Immediately that she would answer th purpose of my next annual vacation. Hhe wil dressed with great cere, and with tli air of on who had been born to certain necessary things. In a moment ah had disappeared In a cloud of dust My chauffeur cam out Just then, and I ordered blm to follow. Fortu nately my car I eventy horn power. The handsome girl got out and as cended Hie steps of a house on fifth avenue. I took th number and re paired to my club, v. here I had a leisurely luncheon. Then I a man In my club who I perfectly Invaluable a sort of hu ms directory, II know the namea of all th really best people, and what I moro to th point; he know their bouse.

I greeted htm pleasantly and gave him tnv card. "I am the young man who Is tn lor with your daughter." "I have never heard of yon before, air," he said In surprise. I smiled.

"Isn't thl sn extraordinary request from a atrangerr I smiled again. Th obtuaene of th man amused me. "Onlv aeemlnntv so." I replied. "It must be obvious to you that my society will be more interesting to your naugn ter than your. Hh see you every due nr ran If alio likes. She ha el- way had you around ever alnce aha waa born. You are an old ttory to her. Now I am new cnnnble of anr amount of demotion. Consider, air, your duty In the ymttor." "There I something In that," he observed. I waa writing out the check fur the amount of the passage. It gave me his bonking In exchange, and thunklng him, I hurried off to lili daughter. I had previously ascer tained (through James) that aha would ha at home UP to four o'clock. Till aeetn to h a amall matter, but In affair or thl sort,. It I the looking ahead and maklnr arranaement be forehand, that count. That I wher ao many full wher I have always succeeded. X sent up my card, and when aha cam down greeted her pleasantly. She wa naturally cool. They alwaya are at nret "I ain the young man that Xour ' ther" "wlshei" you" to'msTry t "uti "I bare never beard of you before, lr." I mentioned my club, and fold ber a number of ber friend with whom ah wa Intimate. "You do not believe mr "I am at loaa to understand yoo nsvsr having met you before." I produced the booking.

He la an old story," I added triumphantly. Why should I vary that phrasal Always In an affair of tbla sort, move along line of lent realstsnce. On need alt of ona'a energlea for critical momenta. "I will promise not to bore you," I added rather euperfluoosly. "If I do, have me thrown overboard, I can swim you know." "Poor paper "la delighted at the Idea of your going without blm. By the way, don't mention the matter to him. To prelae him for aucb an unselfish act mlglat set hlin up. Never praise your papa to hi face." On th aecond afternoon out I wa holding ber hand under a ateamer rug; whUe her mother waa playing bridge down below. "Am I the only girl you ever loved r aha asked. "Can you doubt Itr X responded fervently. "No, but I like to have you teu me "I love you dearly," X (aid, good- bumoredly. "Then you must marry me" I started. Such an Idea had never occurred to me, aa you may Imagine. But my dear little girt" I pro tested. . - "I mean It You must marry me at once I am aura from what you have told ma that papa wishes It, and, of course mamma will not object. Tbera la a clergyman on board. The ceremony muet take place at once" I ahuddered. For once In my life I waa thoroughly taken aback. "Ounalder whst you are earing I" I replied. "Why no one roarrlea now." 8be laid her band on my arm. "Now, dear, I may be old fashioned about It, but 1 have made up my mind. It muat be done" I passed the next few momenta try ing to argue with her. But when a girl tike that la actually bent on marrying one, what la one to dot The captain came The situation waa briefly explained. He naturally aided with her.

There waa a alight lull In the quiet but of conversation. At thl moment It occurred to me to ask her a ques tion which I hsd been waiting for her proper mood to answer. "I'ardon me, darling," t said, "but would you mind telling me something of which I am very curious to know? Just between ourselves, you know." "Certainly not" aha replied, with charming atulle "Would you mind, then, telling me why you Insisted upon marrying me' It may seem Inconsequent on my part, but I really wish to know." She leaned forward and ber voice lowered. -"Don't you knowT she whispered. "No." "For two reasons. First because ef your simplicity, your unselflshneca and your modesty. Then again, I Just couldn't bear the thought of your breaking any other girl' heart" Thought of Strtngth Thought's of strength both build strength from within and attract It from without Thoughta of weakness actuallie weakness from within and attract It from without Courage be get atrengtb, fear beget weaknese And so courage beget success, fear begeta failure.

It la prenent not only In man, but In the bog, row, rat, dog, numeroua varie ties of Hah and other anlmula. Two varieties are common In man, Taeniae and ISothriiH'ephnlt. A tape worm euicgeats a strip of tape, being composed of oblong segments, averag Ing about aa Inch In length. He hai a small head, a threadlike neck, and on the lower surface of the head are suckers and rows of hook lets by which he attaches hlmaclf to th Intestlnnl mucous membrane. Unless the head and Ita neareat seg ments are expelled, he will reproduce blmaelf within three or four months. The segments are passed with the Intestlnnl evacuations, singly or In strings which may be aeveral feet long. The common form, Taenia solium, I (even to ten feet long and, when mature, ha from LtK) to 4.V) segments. III head I a large aa a good alxed pln'a head: his neck one-half Inch long; the segment near the head contain both male and femnle genera tive organs and tliey produce enor mous numl era of ecirs. The egg are taken up by the hng and developed In hi stomsrh or In testine, a minute head growing out of a minute cyst. This larva la carried by the blood to the brain, eye, liver, munclea or akin, pork which contains It being known aa measly pork. When eaten raw, or slightly cooked, or In sausage. It la followed by the development of the tupe-worin If the Juices of the stomach or Intestine, of the person eating It, are not efficient In destroying it. Children suffer frwtn Intestinal worms, but seldom from tnpe-worina. One may have tupe-wonu and he en tirely unconscious of It, so fur as symptom fir concerned, or there may be symptoms of a pronounced char acter. These may be annemla, emaciation, convulsion, fit. Vitus' dance, dizziness, neuralgia, ringing lu the earn, or some other form of nervous disturbance. The appetite may fall, or It may be vorarloua; constipation may alternate with diarrhea ; and there may be colic with nausea and vomiting; also Itch Ing In various part of the body. To prevent tape-worm, avoid raw or Imperfectly cooked food, and water that la In any way auspicious. If tape-norm la present, the seg ments will alwaya be found at some time or other In the Intestinal evacua tions. To get rid of a tape-worm, fast sev eral days, taking cantor oil at night, and enemnta of cold water In the niomlng, preceding the latter with Suitable doses of epsom salt or phos phate or soda. If this does not suffice, some form of vermifuge, or tenlaclde, must be taken, your physician deciding. (A by Otorft tlalthtw AcUnn.) TWAfl EVE II THUS.

Ing trouble nd paying cash for It They borrow money to buy a liability create a debt to buy something that will be a continual expense until It finally becomes a total loss through being worn out And borrowing money to build a road that will not last un der modern traffic condition I un sound flnsnce. In the old dsy of macadam and gravel road It waa no uncommon occurrence for a county or township to have as many aa three sets of outstanding bonds on a main traveled highway. The sooner a bad road Is put out of existence that mucb sooner will a wholly unnecessary ex- pens be cut off. Not only Unit, but land value will begin to Improve. Permanent road building cost money, and It la well to look at the cold-cash side of the proprvrltlnn T the beneficial effects upon the sm-lui and educational standards of the com munlty are not always lusceptlble of exact calculation, but they are rertnln to come; and since a permanent road costs money, we must know there Is to be a profit from somewhere to off set the coat Something fur nothing has never yet been found. I'roflts from a permanent road come to the farmer la the reduction of hauling coale It puts htm lu a position wher he can get to market every day, anil where be ran haul two loada at one trip Instead of having to make two trips to haul one load. These are a few plain reasons why a good road should be built rather than continue trying to maintain a bad one , How to get a good road aystem Is not a difficult problem If a county nr township la willing to be guided by common aense The first step Is to employ a competent highway engineer. He will make a atudy of traffic condi tions, ascertain where the main market road runt, and build accordingly, con structing feeder lines to the main market lines with a type of material that will be leaa expensive than that required on the main market lines. and yet will at the aame time meet all traffic requirements on the feeder lines. The main lines. If built with a solid base will be permsnent Bridging Major Streams Helped by Federal Aid On of th niost helpful result of federal aid to road construction ba been the bridging of major streams which It ha encouraged and mad pos sible, according to th annual report of the bureau of public road of tb United State Department of Agricul ture. 8uch atream are. In many case. th boundaries of counties or states. and the necessity of securing Joint ac tion of the authorities of the two po litical divisions, coupled with the In adequacy of funds available, ha made the construction of. modern structures over wide rivers an almoat hopeless problem. Tet It Is evident that no continuous road system I poslbl without bridging these bar rlera. Federal aid and the co-ordinating In fluence of the federal government have been the meana of securing prac tical action In a great many case of thl sort Th careful atudy of the principal line of travel leading to the designation of the federal-aid highway system ha developed clearly the need of bridge of thl character over cer tain dream and ha brought about agreement a to the location In which the hrldgea ahould be built Thl benefit ha been experienced by the majority of the states, especially those of the South and the Ulsala Ippl valley. Illinois la Leader Recent construction reports show that Illinois now la th unquestioned leader In pavement mileage, with Cal ifornia aecond, New York third and Pennsylvania fourth. The Illinois stats highway department has succeeded, thla season, In constructing more than one-sixth of all road laid In th I'nlt ed Statee. Good Roads Facts North Carolina ha the longest aa phaltlc hard surfsced highway east of the Rocky mountains, the road extend ing 103 miles. Enough highways to circle the earth 24,000 mile lu all, are scheduled for construction In th t'nlted State dur ing ID'.'O by various state highway de partments. Good roads are coming to be a reality tn all atutea of the Union. e Twenty-four thousand miles of stale highways are scheduled for construc tion In 10'JS, according to the United Statea bureau of publlp roads.
