Bfit tho Ox had enemies. There was the Flea and Ifis whole big Family. "Wo don't care whether this Ox travels or not," said the Flea and his Folks. "All we want is somo of his blood." Where upon tho Fleas eternally pestered tho Ox and gave him ? That Tired Feeling. Then there was tho Tom Cat and his brothers ? tho Doubting Thomases. "We don't know whether t his Ox is going the right way or not," said the Thomases. "A nyho w, we'll scratch his back for him." Whereupon tho Felines jumped on tho back of the Ox and scratched him for fair, which made tho Ox ex ceedingly sorrowful. Then there was tho FLsto Pup and his Fellow Fistes ? a whole litter of Fistea. "We don't care how slow tho Ox goes," said the Fistes ; "tho slower the merrier for" us. All we want is to lag behind him and bite his Tail." Whereupon the Fistes snapped con tinually at tho Tail of the Ox, which gave the Ox a mighty mourniuiness. Finally the Ox, postered constantly with the Fleas and the Felines and the Fistes, got to looking sickly. He stopped and lay down on his job, and there was no more going forward for him. KKY TO THE SITUATION: The town is the Ox. The Fleas and the Felines and the Fistes are those citizens who criticise every progressive movement and do every thing they can in their petty ways to make the Ox quit pulling in the right direction.

(HK)U IKAAU8 TRAIN Spent Several Huura In Ciumlett on Hondnf, The good roads train of the Southern Railway Company which is being operated in conjunction with the government office of pub lic roads over the South with the object of promoting the cause of Improved highways, arrived here Monday aftornoon. The train came here from Lancaster and was placed on a side track of the Southern Hallway where visitors saw the cars throughout the afternoon. The gentlemen who compose the party traveling with the train are Messrs. D, H. Wlnslow and M. E. Worrelx of the office of public1 hoads, Messrs. H. L. Hurlburt and II. W. Truesdale of tho Southern Hallway Company and E. D. Haker of the American Association for Highway Improvement. These men make their home on one of the coaches, it being equip ped for the purpose. Of the other two cars oil which the train consists, one Is used lor the lecture room and is provided with seats, shades for controlling the light and an electrically operat ed stereopticon machine utfed in Il lustrating the lectures. The third car is the exhibition coach and con tains miniature models of machin ery used in highway construction. Hock crushers, traction engine, op erated by mean's of a gasoline en gine in tho rear of the coach, road plows, scrapers and split log drags gives one a fine conception of the modern way of wormne roads. In fho ceach 1b also seen models of V shaped drains, macadam and sand clay roa.ds, and the proper "mode to be pursued in constructing and main talning them. On the walls are views of bad roads over the coun try showing them in a neglected condition and photographs taken of the same road after they had, re ceived attention from intelligent con structlon. The Southern Railway is taking great interest in tho upbuilding of the South along all lines and this great system should have the hear ty co-operation of the entire peo ple in their efforts to bring good roads for this section.

Of course It could never have happened unless a wau had been entrusted with It. "It" wag the letter, unimportant on the whole, dealing mainly with button*, that Mn. Brandt' wan writing to her mother, Mr*. Clement*. Hut fate, in the shape of young Mr. Roger Peel intent on Paying a party call, rang the bell, and changed its na> live innocence to disaster. "Perhaps. you'll mall it for me?" Mrs. Brand i tiaid. "I suppose you never forget letter# T"' Mr. Feel with fervent portesta tlong as to bin high trustworthiness, put it into hi* pocket, and then promptly f ,<got about It for nearly a week. "Why doesn't mother match those buttons?" wondered Mrs. Brandt "I can't ge'. on with Peggy'* dress at all without them." Meanwhile, in the distant city a worried grand mother fretted herself and her two unmarried daughters about the unwonted silence. "Why doesn't Anna write?" she demanded. "It'B a fortnight since she sent me any word about the baby's teething." "Oh, mother," said Clara, her youngggt, soothingly, "it isn't much over a week, really! And perhaps you'll hear today." "But Anna has such foolish new ideas!" persisted the old lady. . "Now 1 wan a natural mother Children's care seemed to come to me by instinct. Anna has too ma ny advanced theories." She worries the day by, and at Jast sleep descended upon the care worn family. In the meantime Mr. Peel had discovered Mrs. Brandt's unmailed letter in the pocket of his evening clothes, and with the W>eed that is born only of guilt, he thumped on a special dellvory stainp, and took It to Jhe post-of' flee himself. At half past twelve the city household waif peacefully slumber ing; at a quarter of one the elec t rit- i>4y 1 1 |juz/,?d uad bugged insist ently. Mrs. Clement sat bolt upright tu bed. "It's a telegram from Aiinal* nh? cried. "The baby's worse! O Clara, Huth, hurry!" After a few momenta of oacesaa ry delay, a drowsy messenger boy thrust the delayed letter Into her hand. "What does It say? What doe* It Hay?" walled Mrs, Clement, "Tall me quickly!" "Oh, I don't dare look!" said Huth, shuddering she had Inherit ed her mother's temperament for bridge-crossing. "It's a special da livery." Hut the more practical Clara took It from her limp grasp and opened It, then burst out laughing. "O mother, It's Just buttons!" "Htm he swallowed them?" shriek ed Mrs. Clement. "Give me my kl mono! Help me get ready! > I'll take the two-thirty train." "No, no!" explained Clara. "An na just wants buttons for Peggy's dress. It's dated a week ago." At last the meaning reached Mrs. Clement's fear-ridden mind, and In stead of taking; the train, she went to bed, relieved although Indig nant. Hut young Mr. Feel is still /ex plaining how it happened, for, as ho himself saya, "he never forgeta to mall a letter." A good rule to apply is.A^he feot ter the weather the simpler, the life.
