MOTEL KEYS. rher Art Carried Off by Catiti VTha I Forget to Give Them I p. "Our key litter is one of the most Imp-trant men on our staff." said the maunder it a large New Orleans hotel. "He ;s cept busy every day of the year, and ometimcs be is ho rushed with w<*k that ie has to call in an assistant. It is 110 xaggeratlon to say that he averages torn 25 to 30 keys a day." "But 1 would suppose," remarked a istener, "that even a big hotel would acluire a lotQck-ocy of keys in the course if time." "So it does," replied tlie manager, "if he public would ouly let it keep 'em; but t won't. It would astouuh anybo<]y not D the business to know how many guests ralk off with their room keys when they Bare the bouse. When the average man eia ready to depart, he packs his valise, ocks his door and theu goes direct to the ashier's wicket to settle his bill. Wbco hat formality is attended to, he is generily in a rush to get to the d?i?ot and is ?u- ??a tKof lio hna ntnitfr/1 |UIU' n|H IU *vrtfe?v iu?? o return hii? key at the clerk's desk.

The clerk doesn't discover that he key la gone until the chambermaid pplies for it to dean up the room, which probably an hour or two after the nest has taken his departure. Thou lothing remain# but to call in the key itter and tell him to prepare a duplicate a quickly an he cau. "Formerly the hotels tried to guard gainst this innocent kleptomania," the oanager went on, "by haYtug their keys oade very large and cuinbcrsomo ami .ttaehing them to enormous metal tag*, he idea being to render it Impossible to tat them in one's pocket. To that end bey were probably a success, but they rere such an unmitigated nuisance otherrise, and guests complained so bitterly t the annoyance of handling them, that bey were generally discarded. You will till find the plan popular in the country, owerer, and in small houses that hare 10 locksmiths on the premises, and only , week or so ago I dropped into a quaint ' ittle establishment where the keys were itached to brass dinks folly as large an essert platen and serrated at the edge 1 Ike circular raws. "At present most of the big hotels use , modest metal check, stamped with their ddress and a request to forward through be mails if accidentally carried off. All hat is necessary is to attach a 3 cent tamp to the tag and drop the key in the rarest letter box. Incidentally I may ay that about one man in 50 takes the rouble. But, aside from the room keys arried away by guests, a vast number of 11 kinds disappear through the mystcrius channels to oblivion that exist in all irge hotels. They vanish, and that's I he end of it?keys to furniture, wardrobe eys, closet keys, bathroom keys, keys to he help's lockers, padlock keys from th** utside storerooms, big coal bunker keys, nte keys and keys of every imaginable ize, shape and style.

JOLTING OVER BAD ROADS. llic Majority of Kunm rn Show N?> lut?<eat la IUukI Improvement. With the same patience that thoearly settler waited for the railroad to be built must the advocates of uood roads wast for juiv decided action lu be taken for the betterment of"our public highways, buys the Whitewater (U*u?) Jour|)&L For tho last five years our roads have been the topic of the pre.?s, but we fail to see tho good effect that this should have had on the minds of an intelligent people, and, strange as it may seem, the farmers aiv the very last ones with which this matter Amis any invor. While our city cousins have long since protested against the slow, oncouifortable horse car aud eomjtelled the companies to build expensive electric lines with palace cars, we are contented to jolt along in cumbersome vehicles over nearly as bad roads us those our grandfathers traveled in early pioneer days, and farmers who read from time to time of the large sums of money spent by the government in making public improvements would vot6 against an equal amount being expended on oar highways. For a proof of thii fart just see with what reluctanco most farmers work on tfao road, even when well paid for their labor; better paid than they often are for the work which they do on tha farm, and yet a greater proof is tha fact that in many of the towns in this county they still oling to the old way of working out road tuxes by allowing a man so much for his team, plow or shovel and giving him ten hours' story telling. At a rough estimate there ii between $10,000 and $15,000 expended annually on the roads in this county. If part of this large ram of money was invested in machinery need in making roods, and then have the work done by a body of men working under a county overseer who had proved his ability us a road builder, and civil engineer by parsing a satisfactory civil service examination, we oonld get more and better work done. Such a man could be obtained for a moderate salary, and the work done would be more uniform and satisfactory than that done by pet cverseers who are appointed regardless of ability, bnt because of some political poll at town meetings. Of conrse there are exceptions to the general class of farmers who are working and talking to the best of their ability for good roads. It is to be hoped that success will in the end crown their efforts. WIDE TIRE BENEFITS. rh*7 Not Only Improve the Road, bet tic Load Is More Kuily Drawa. The beneficial effect of the wide tire on dirt roads is strikingly shown in some recent tests at tho Misnonri agri cultural experiment station at Colombia. A clay road badly cut into rata by the narrow tires wty? selected for the test as presenting conditions least favorable to the broad tire. A number of testa of the drufft of the narrow tire were made in these open rots and immediately followed by the broad tires running in tbo same rata. The first ran of the broad tire over the narrow tire rata waa accompanied by an increased draft, the second by a draft materially lesti than the original narrow tire, the third by a still greater decline, and in the fonrth trip the rut was practically obliterated and filled. The nurrow tires were then ran over the tamo road, with the results that the draft was lighter than before the Lroad tires bad been used. Alternating the brood and narrow tires on this road for a number of times resulted in a gradually decreased draft In other words, the broad tires were improving the road surface to such an extent when run but hulf the time as to make the draft considerably less for all vehicle* This clearly demonstrates that if even half the wagons used on dirt roads had broad tires the results would be beneficial in draft and enormously beneficial in bettering the condition of the roods. In another trial, when a day road wan so badly cat into ruts ns to be almost impassable for light vehicles and pleaiuro carriage*, after running the 6 inch tires over this road 12 timen the ruts were completley filled and s, first class bicycle path made. A carefu l reoord of the drafts shows that the draft was materially less than with the narrow tires immediately before. Thus the road would have been gradually improved by the uBe of the broad tires at the same time ttiat the farmer would have been able to transport his products over the road with greatly reduced draft Steel Roadway. Secretary Wilson has given directions to General Koy Stone, chief of the bureau of good roads at the department of agriculture, to construct a fample steel roadway at the most convenient location he can find at the Nashville exposition, where it may be seen und studied by the visitors who will attend the exposition during the summer. Secretary Wilson thinks tho steel trackway fcr wagons is the easiest solution of the good roads problem, particularly in the west, where stone and gravel are scarce. and the soil in deep and sticky.

Opeu drafts and a rang?.' : lull to the covers of glowing coals not ; only burn a needless amount of coal, 1 but burn dot th<> range at the same ; time. A shovelful of ?-oal on sufficient to lightly cover the Are will aeeomj pllsb ns much as a half sruttlefiil, ex; eeptlng In the Increase of the coal man's trade. For a smail range nut eoal Is best; for a large one, small <.>gg eoaJ. Red ash coal makes n hotter lire, with fewer cinders, than the white ash, and the latt(T burns more slowly. For these reasons an equal mixture of the two is a wise economy. The ashes taken from tbe fire should never De thrown iu&o the can until they arc sifted. The cinders thus obtained can be used on tbe Are at times when the greatest heat is not needed. But they should always be added after the fresh cool is well aglow. A third of a cupful of kerosene with which to saturate the kindling and cool before putting It In the range will facilitate the housemaid's morning work, whether or not the Are baa been kept overnig.it. Kerosene should never, however, be poured directly Into a stove, either from the cup or can. The best way is to lay the wood on a shovel and cover It there with the oil, an.* then add a sprinkling to a shovelful of coal. Many housekeepers Insure their kitchens against accident from this cause by leaving a part of a cupful of oil for the servant's use and locking the rest In tbe storeroom. A handful of sugar will revive an expiring Are as quickly as will kerosene, but happy the housewife whose maid is ignorant of the fact. This accounts in many cases for the rapid disappearance of the kitchen sugar supply Bow to Hake Buckwheat 8fcort?a|t*.

The popular idea that the age of a horse can always be told by looking at his teeth, Kays a veterinary surgeon. Is not entirely correct After the eighth year tbe horse has no more new teeth, so that the tooth method Is useless for telling the age of u horse which is mora than 8 years old. As soon as the set of teeth Is complete, however, a wrinkle begins to appear on the upper edge of the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle Is added each year, so that to get at the age of a horse over 8 years old you must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles. .

Gonnan, as chairman of the Democrat* In caucu* and therewith leader of the' senate Democrats to succeed Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas, i* regarded here as a long step toward* the reuuiou of the Democratic faction* and a reorganization of the party along the liueti which carried Cleveland to the presidency with Democratic victory. Gorman, it will be remembered, ha* alwayw been a sound money Democrat, although he supported the ticket when the free silverites were on top. Senator Jones has stood with the free silver wing and it is believed here that his retirement carries with it the last of that faction's leadership in the Democratic party. Gorman was chairman of the national Democratic committmi <lnri nrr tli** na m no fern whtnh IU > IM.V MUi I U0 ?UV VWU?|m?||U ffMavM landed Cleveland in the white bouae. With (tormau'H banner in the lead airaiu, hope ha?i sprung anew in the rauk and tile of Deniocrata whose reprexcitative* are here. With the factional lines wiped oat there is every reason to believe Democracy will triumph in 1004, for it is a tteitled conviction over the cdpntry that Democratic voters are in the majority throughout the nation. The enthusiastic support of the western and southern Henatora in the election of Gorman is a strong evidence that the division in no more. A significant action of the caucus was the election of Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, as secretary of the caucus. Carmack has publicly proclaimed bis advocacy of Parker for the next party nomiuee for president, and baa stated that be no longer looks to tbe mouey question as an iaaae on which tbe Demacrats can place a plank In their platform, (^armack was formerly a Htroug free silver Democrat Uoraaa Hakn lpM?k. Tbe Democratic senatorial caucus which met at 1 o'clock today organized by electing Senator Gorman to bis old position as chairman of the caucus. This is a permanent place and a?ureb bim tbe occupancy of Democratic conference room, tbe moat commodious and beat located committee room in tbe senate end of the capitol. He made a brief speech on assuming tbe cbalr and tbe conference then proceeded to other bualneaa. There * Jag waa present 2S of the .33 Democratic senators. Senator Gorman's nomination aa chairman waa suggested by Senator Hacon, and there was no opposition to bis aelectlon. In taking tbe chair he thanked tbe senators for tbe honor conferred, but did not make an extended speech. The remaining time was devoted largely to tbe diacuaaion Of tbe present situation In tbe senate and the necessity for Democratic harmony and unity of action. There was a general feeling thai tbe vacancies caused by tbe retirement of the Democratic senatora from committees which have to deal with questions before the present called session should lie filled, and it was decided that tbe designation of tbe members of theae committee* should be made by a steering committee to be appointed by tbe chairman of the caucus, but tbeae selections should later be ratified by &? the caucus. Hon Meerera Waafed. _/ The steering commitee for congress has numbered only aeven members, hot Senator Gormon requested tbat tbe number be increased to nine, which waa the number in tbe days of his previous cbairmanabip, and thia increase was decided upon. Mr. Gorman will make bis selection jp of member* of this commettee in time to have a meeting tomorrow, when the question of supplying the vacancies on the regular committee of the senate will be taken up. The caucus placed in the hands of the steering committees authority to decide for the Democrats whether there should be a general reorganization of the senate committees or the mere filling of the vacancies on those committees which will deal with preening questions during the extra ses- / siun. The committee is empowered to negotiate with the Republican steering committees with a view of agreeing on a general reorganization. Hut so far as there was an expression of opinion on this point, it was favorable to the view of leavintftbe question of reorganization on general lines to be determined by the Bepublican line as they are in power. There is no * * * -- T\ doubt, However, inai me i^nuwrmiu steering committer will insist on having Home ol the committees filled, for the reason that the Democratic party hat* lost quite heavily in wine of the committees which are in control of the preseut business. They will ask, for instance, that the vacancies on the committee on foreigu relations be filled. Clark Maeereda Bailey. .Senator Bailey retired from the committee before the adjournment of the last congress and by unanimous consent Senator Clark, of Montana, was ap|?oiuted to tiie vacancy. It is expected that the steering committee will confirm this action and also will name a successor to Senator llawlina on the same committee, ft is thought necessary to have these vacancies filled immediately as that committee will have to deal with the pending treaties. They also will ask that the Democratic vacancies on the committee on inter-oceanic canal caused by the retirement from the senate of Messrs.. Harris ami Turner shall be tilled. It it* probable that they will auk that the place* vacated by Senators Vest and Turner on the committee of commerce shall be lllle?i before the nomination of Dr. ('rum to be ?rollector at the port of Charleston is taken up by that committee. A similar demand will probably lie made in all other cases ill which committees have chance of nominations over which then- may b?j controversy. The caucus w:ui in session fur almost two hours.
