Kwr tk? Gcrmfan University Mem Art'
Padded For the Fight.
My friend had vannh?S into the dress-1
Ing room, and at flrsc gkinco I entirely!
failed to recognizo him in the padded
monster that now staggered clumsily into j
the room, supported on each side by his '
eoond and sword bearer. The thick armor j
of leather and wadding with which ho was
fcolstered entirely protected his body and 3
limbe. His nock was rigidly incased in a 1
high, thick collar of silk and whipoord, j i
and his eyes wero proteoted by Iron gog-! {
gles as large as small teacups, from which
a strap passed round the ears to be buckled 6
at the back of the bead. His second was ^
omewhat similarly equipped, and in ad- j
dltion wore a leather cap with a strong
Iron peak. The other principal presently
entered the room and took up his position
at one sword's length from Zimmerman.
He was closely followed by the umpire or
unparteiischer. This personage was a
ohronlo medical student of ten years'
atandlnR?a mass of genial rotundity,
with a fat, amorphous face in which features
seemed a superfluity. He w^s duly
qualified fbr his responsible position by
'an unlimited capacity for beer and the
glorious faut that he had never passed an
examination. Enthroned on an armchair
a little in front of the other spectators, he
divided his time pretty equally between a
huge mug of Munchener and a long pipe
of whioh the painted china bowl rested on
the ground. He now proclaimed "Silentium!"
and proceeded to announce the
duel. It was to last for 20 minutes, ex
oluding all pauses, and as usual to consist
of short bouts or "gangs," with brief intervals
of rest between each. The swords
?long, nasty looking blades, sharp as rr.
sors and flexible as riding switches?were
carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion
and banded to the combatants. The seconds
took up their position behind and to ?
the left of their respective men, and gave ^
the word of command in the following traditional
form: e
"Auf die Mensur bindet die Klingen!"
(Cross blades for the duell) a
"Gebunden sindl" (Crossed they are!)
"Losl" (Go!)
The swords olash together in 'the preliminary
stroke. Then ensues.a brief hail?torm
of blows so rapid that the eye refuses
to follow them and retains only a confused E
Impression of fashing steel and flying e
sparks. The head of each combatant seems J
to be enveloped In a halo of gleaming ?
points. It is impossible to realize that
each of these lightning strokes is deliber
ately and scientifically aimed and as de- *
iiberately and scientifically parried.?Pall ;

MAMMA'S DEAR CHERUB. t
8* Deferred a Spanking and Got Stran- ^
ger. In Trouble.
People never get encouragement for doing
the good Samaritan act In the interests
of the public, as the man decided who
offered to assist a distracted woman and
meliorate the sufferings of a lot of people
on a suburban car.
The boy who howls waa In evidence, the
ourled darling of his only own mother and
the terror of everybody else, and he had
kept the car In a state of wild excitement
and exhausted the patience of everybody,
including his doting parent.
"Oh, If your father were only here!" she 1
had said for the fiftieth time as she tried
vainly to restrain the howling terror.
At that he stopped bowling long enough
to beat the air with his small shins, and I
the woman on the other side of him re- r
marked audibly that a cage was the proper j
place for savages like him.
"Johnny, dear,'-' asked hla mother, 1
"won't you be a good boy?" c
Boars and kicks from Master Johnny. c
"Oh, I wish your father were here ta
give you a good trouncing this very minute
K" she wailed as she struggled with I
Mm c
Then it was that the philanthropist of
the company asserted himself. He bad
been trying in vain to read his morning
paper ever since be started from home.
"Allow me, madam," he 6aid blandly.
"I am a father myself, and 1 will be happy
to ohastlse your cherub in behalf of hia ab,
Bent parent." . '
"Oh, no, ybn won't; not if I know it!"
nld Johnny's mother, rising in her wrath
like a tigress. "There ain't that man llv'lng
dare lay a finger on that boy?his own
father or any other ngly old catamount
who thinks he knows it all!". And she
hat off debate by going into the next cm
and taking the sweet infant with her.?

Some means of distinguishing one John

Q
There were few cats in all animal

I? I -Tonltl
Wear r? Lnag Time and Decrease
Traction ? Details of Construction a*ij
Difficulties to'lie Overcome?Many Good
Features of the Suggestion.
General Boy Stone, director of road
aquiry, department of agriculture, in
rcular No. 25 quotes from The Enineering
News regarding tho laying
I strips of brick paving in macadam
Dadways. Tho News says:
"It appears to us that this combina:
on of brick and macadam is the most
romisiug plan for the improvement of
lburban streets and country roads of
eavy traffic that has' appeared in a
>ng time and deserves consideration by
rery engineer who has to do with macdam
roads. There are thousands of
liles of city streets where the abutting
wners can ill afford the assessments
)r the cheapest of block or asphalt
avements, and on the other hand the
affic is such that the maintenance of
resent macadam streets is a heavy bnron.
Cannot the needs of such cases be
>et by placing a brick roadway in the
liddle of tile street and covering all
ae rest of the width between the curbs
'ith broken stone?"
The News also makes an additional
ggestion in the direction of economy
:hich may well lead to further expedient
in this method of construction. It
jys:
"But in localities where there is a
Dng freight haul cn paving brick the
spense of even a 7 foot strip cf brick
a a road might be prohibitory. In such
realities the schemo is worth consider3g,
it appears to us, of laying two parllel
narrow strips of paving brick
brougb the middle of a macadam road,
s illustrated in the accompanying cross
cction. These strips might be 16 to 20
aches in width aud cf such gauge that
ehiclesof all classes could follow them
s they would a lin? of rails. The dereased
traction on such a surface would

V, D
rere laid in the macadam, as has been
roposed, and if properly laid they
ronld wear a very long time under any
rallic where a macadam road is justiable
at all.
"There are thousands cf places where
short piece of roadway is subjected to
very heavy-traffic. Such roads occur
round factories, mills, mines, quarries,
ailway stations and many other places,
a many of these places an ordinary
\
BOSS SECT I OX OF BRICK TRACKWAYS, UNDEKDKA1XED
AND STOSK CURBED.
irt road is in use, and teams are haul-,
ag over it loads not one-foarth as large
s they couid haul over a hard surface,
a rdany other eases stone roads have
een laid and are effecting a great savag
over the old dirt roads in cost of
aulcge, but are expensive to keep in
2pair under the heavy loads that pass
vcr them. For snch places as these the
lan of using paving brick to take the
eavy wear appears to be especially adantajjeous
and deserving of extended
doption.
"The details of construction, snch as
he foundation under the bricks, the
onstrnction of the macadam at their
ides and between them, the filling beween
the bricks, etc., would vary with
ucal circumstances and with the teachjgs
of experience, but they need riot be
onsidercd in a study of tho merits of
be scheme generally.
"It may be. pointed out also in this
onnection that such a strip of brick
avement as' is here proposed would
ml-fi nti nflmirnhln road for cvclinc.
nd tho influence of that'important
ody of agitators for road improvement
light well bo exerted in favor of this
roposition."
The drawbacks to the narrow strip
lethod of construction are tho danger
f the tilting of the outside bricks in
riving on afld off, or crossing the line
rith heavy loads, and the danger of
isruption or displacement by frost.
To meet the first of these difficulties
curbing of rovgh stone might be laid,
f stone is not available, bricks could
e set on end for curbing, or a special
arm of brick might be designed for the
urpose, of which tho surface would
arm part of tho trackway.
In cases where damage by frost is tc
e apprehended on account of the cbarcter
of the soil the construction might
e combined with that of the Illinois
arm roads used by Judgo Caton. iThe
Qmbination would be as shown in the
ccompanving cut.
The ditch above the draintile could
B filled with any coarse materialseld
stone, or quarry spalls too soft or
ravel too large for roads, or with the
urned clay in lumps which is used fcr
iallast on some of the prairie railroads

own and covered with a little gravel

I light coatiug of gravel would serve

A road so built and protected should

to replace the gravel wern out by

Wide Tires l>o the Rest.
Many a county road, today a typical
'slough of despond," would be so imiroved
by the use of wide tires propery
arranged that repairing it to first
lass erudition would require proper
Irainage only, by shaping the surface
ud keeping the side ditches clear,

BAO ROADS TO BLAME.
fv'hy tbo Farmers In the East Find 'Ilicll
liusincss Unprofitable.
A highly important featuiB of tb?
highways question is tho effect good 01
bad roads have upon the local marked
and their sources of supply^ says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities anc
large towns of the state there is a demand
for farin products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as haj
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding conntry
is quite capable of supplying thai
demand; in all cases it should do so a:
far as possible; in most cases it does not.
Instead, supplies are. brought in by ral
or canal from fqr away, perhaps frorr
other states; while at the same time,
within a few miles of the market tliui
Bupplied, are farms that have beex
abandoned aa not worth working anC
othters whose owners are in (Shronic di?
content and despair at the apparent im
possibility of getting profitable pricei
for their crops. The big farms of th<
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and so farming here no longer pays.
Now, one prime secret of the troubl<
lies in the bad roads, which keep th<
producer and the consumer apart bj
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce t<
market. The farmer 1,000 miles awaj
can get his crops to market by rail oi
canaljnore easily and more cheaply thai
the farmer only ten miles away can hau
his in over roads that are so hilly anc
rough and miry that half a ton is t
heavy load for a horse to draw at aslo^
footpace.
It is not that farms in the east are n(
longer V?dnctive, nor that the easteri
market no longer offers fair prices. Il
is that,the roads between the farms anc
the markets are so bad as to make ship
mcnt uupiofitajale. Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent to th<
cities and towns would do more thai
anything else to restore prosperity t<
the farmers, enabling them to get theij
goods to the best possible market easily
promptly and cheaply. Good roadi
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and gqcd times for all concerned.

MONTANA HIGHWAYS.
Beccnt Law s Provide For Their System

The highways of Montana, by a bil
passed by the' state legislature, ar<
placed in the charge of the county sur
veyor, and the old office of road super
vieor, usually held by an inesperiencec
man, is abolished. The act defines th<
powers and duties oT county surveyor!
and provides for their compensation
By this act eaeh of these officers is re
quired to keep the highways in hii
county Clear of obstruction and in gooc
repair and maintain bridges, to maki
all' plans and specifications for nev
roads and bridges, to report to the coun
ty commissioners on all work completed
ancfif the work is done according t<
the plans, specifications and contrac
he is to draw his vouchers for the sam<
beforo payment is made.
The county surveyor is chairman o;
all boards of viewers of roads, keepi
the records of road surveys and is th<
general superintendent of all roads. H<
may employ labor, teams, ejc., and ha
power to contract for all work not ex
ceeding $200 in cost For larger amount

the county snrveyor may not receivi
more than $3 per day.
ROADS THAT .ARE NEEDED.
Henry Watterson's Idea la That They B
Local, Not National.
Henry, Watterson takes issue with i
good roads advocate who insists tha
the general government should havi
charge of road making?that then
should be national highways built am
maintained at puhlio expense.
The good roads that are needed, say
the Chicago Times-Herald, those tha
are most needed, in the language o:
Colonel Watterson, are those that "lea<
from the farm to the railroad, the mill
the factory, the 6chool, the church, thi
ferry and the market."
This apt remark of Colonel Wattersoi
is a condensation, a simplification, ai
absolutely plain presentation of what i
most wanted in the matter of goo(
roads. Carry out that idea, and wha
will be wanting? It will meet tne re
quirements cf the farmer; it will savi
the farming element hundreds of mil
lions of'dollars every year; it will mee
the expectations of thq pleasure seeker
it will acid to the value of every foot ol
ic the country; it will be of valm
x> every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be a source of pleasun
and profit to all olasses, in all comma
nities.
