4 Leaf Oat of a Newspaper Reporter"#
Early Experience.
"My first assignment," wild an old importer,
"was to find out whether somebody
was in town, or something of that
sort. I know there was nothing to be
written about it. I got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all I had to do that day. For the rest of
the day I sat around the office and looked
on with an infatuation that has never decreased.
The next day I got my second
assignment.' In this there was something
to write about.
"The city editor handed me a narrow
little strip of white tissue paper out from a
sheet of ship news and containing, in two
lines of writing, information that two laborers
had been washed overboard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, coming
up the bay in tow of the tug So-andso.
"What I was to do was to get the facts
about the occurrence and write them.
"The city editor said that if I would
find the consignees of the barge or the
owner of the tug I would get on the trace
of the story. The names of the consignees
were in the two lines of ship news, and
aimply by looking in the directory I found
their office without the slightest trouble.
There I learned where the cargo was tied
up. It was at a wharf in Hoboken or
Weehawken, I don't remember which, and
T 4-Ur,*- T 4- U
a xuauo lur tuuu. iiucu x uuxuou iiuuj lua
street down the wharf, there she was, tied
up alongside, her name on the wheelhouse.
She was about half unloaded, and men
were still at work carrying off the ore.
"I was not altogether without experience
In life, but I had never done anything
that gave me quite Vibe satisfaction that it
did to find that ore barge in my first actual
experience as a reporter. The captain
was aboard, and so were the surviving
members of the little party of laborers
who had started up the bay in her, and so
the whole story was right there. I sat on
the stringpieoe of the wharf and talked
with the captain of the boat. He told the
story with entire willingness. Of course
there was no reason why he shouldn't, and
then I went baok to the office and wrote
? it up. It was not a great story. I knew
that. It was like thousands of stories that
the newspapers are sending after all the
time, of the manifold daily occurrence of
life, but 1 mast put it together in good
shape, get in all the faots and put the
story in the smallest space.
"In the morning I went out and got a

Importance of Regular Living.
A question has lately arisen as to the Increase
or the reverso in nervous diseases,
some arguing that the cause of the supposed
inorease in suoh nervous diseases lies
: in the Increased demand made by the conditions
of modern life upon the brain. It
Is quite true that the conditions of life are
very different nowadays from what they
were a fow years ago. We now live in a high
pressure age, and in one of keen competition,
when greater effort is needed in every
branch of life to attain a successful position,
when the brain is always working
and there is constant tension. Suoh conditions,
it will be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to a diminution of nervy
ous diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the same time, It cannot be denied that
a the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men of
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
oaprlce and impulse. The adoption of
hygienio habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount of friotlon and waste.
_ It preserves vitality. Regularity economizes
not only physical stamina, but time
e as well. The man who knows no system

tion In all things sbould be the motto of
' life, and it should be remembered thatr

'f enjoyment of variety. A certain amount

r A Puzzled Author.
The San Franoisco Argonaut tells an
1 amusing story about Alphonse Daudet.
1 When he brought out "Sappho," an American
publishing house that issues religious
? books, not knowing its charaoter, offered
e M. Daudet a large sum for advance sheet*
of the work. He accepted the offer, and
s the advance sheets were sent. When the
- publishers received them, tbey deolded that
they could not issue the book, and they
9 cabled to the author, " 'Sappho' will not
do.' This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He
n/inenlfoH nrlfk tmmhora nf fHonHfl. ATld
t this was the conclusion at wbiob they
- evontually arrived: "Sappho" in French
J Is spelled with one "p"?"Sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English it is spelled
, with two. An unusually acute friend
t pointed this out to Daudet, wbioh muoh
. relieved the Dovelist, and he oabled back
> to the publishers, "Spell it with two p'e."
4 It is needless to state that the publishers
j were more astonished at Daudet's reply
4 than ho had been at their cable dispatch.
Japanese Journalism.
"Japanese journalism," says a mlssiou,
ary'a wife, "is a singular profession in
. many of its features. There is p?otically
> no such thing as freedom of the press In
I Japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government
. it is suppressed and the editor is sent to '
> prison. The real editor is never imprisoned,
though. Every newspaper has what
the Japanese coll a 'dummy editor,'and it
. is his sole duty to go to jail every time the
paper is suppressed for offending the
| mikado. Then the real editor changes the
. name of the paper and keeps on publishing
it. Dummy editors spend most of their i
. time iu nrison."

flUADS MEAN ADVANCEMENT.
Em? of Communication Marks the Prog'
r?M of Civilization.
The movement in behalf of goodiroada
in this and other states and the obstacles
it is called npon to overcome are
strongly suggestive of the readiness
with which we are apt to accept the
greatest facilities in commnnication as
Blatter of course? if indeed we do not
quickly come to regard their usefulness
with indifference, says the New York
Mail and Express. Too many men are
controlled by a single idea. They abandon
interest in highways because thej
have canals, or they abandon interest in
canals because of railway development,
and some day they will vote railways a
nuisance because of a perfected flying
machine. They fail to appreciate the
value of maintaining the best in any
and every form of human communication
that is worth maintaining at all.
Upon the perfection of every means
of communication and transportation
resid our progress towara mgner civilization
and social development As barbarism
is invariably characterized by a
lack of adequate facilities for travel
and commercial intercourse, so the
highest civilization is marked by the
greatest advancement in every phase of
these. When the Roman empire was at
the height of its grandeur, it was distinguished
for its roads, which all led
to Rome.
In strong contrast with this early civilization
was the comparative barbarism
of tbe middle ages, when the feudal
barons pei.... 1 their castles upon inaccessible
heigL. >?hen roads and bridges
were almost unknown, when wheeled
vehicles were generally tabooed, when
social and mental progress were stagnant
and all commerce and reciprooal
aotivity were halted. To the friction of
ready intercourse all progress is due. As
steam and electricity make a neighborhood
of a nation, so improved highways
?the first evidences of civilization, because
the earliest demonstration ol
man's desire for easy intercourse with
his neighbor?will ever remain the test
of progress in the separate communities
that go to make up the state.

HIGHWAYS TO WEALTH.
Farmers Prosperous In Communities Having
Good Roods.
Good roads are the highways to
wealth. If I could take you with me
north, south, east and west, to where
the beginnings of road improvement
have been made, I could show you small
farming communities growing rich in
these hard times, contented and happy,
and troubling themselves not at all with
the great problems of finance which agitate
their brethren. They have no time
to was te in talk. If their fields are too
wet to work, they go oh the road. Their
marketing is done in bad weather, and
in rainy spelis they bring from a distance
oheap fertilizers to enrich their farms,
such lis marl, city refuse, etc. Philadelphia
refuse is carried 20 miles on the
stone roads.
In these fortunate communities every
day brings its earnings to man and
beast, for there' is always paying work
on a good road, and if 4 man has no
hauling of his own to do he can get
work from others, and good wages. Extend
these conditions and imagine, if
you can, the prosperity that would burst
upon the country if every fanner and
every farm team could earn a fair day's
wages for every day in the year, rain
or shine; if every farm could be oulti*
vated and improved to its utmost extent.?Address

FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS.
The Value of Faim Land Is Determined
by Its Accessibility.
The farmers would be more benefited
bv eood road3 than any other class. The
value of a farm is determined by its accessibility.
The land that is favored
with best transportation facilities)
whether by rail or river, will bring the
best price per acre when put upon the
market. There is no doubt that one mile
of good macadamized road is more valuable
in this country than five miles of
plow and scraper road that goes to pieces
in one year.
The taming over of soil is labor in
vain, and we do not censure the farmex
when ordered to work on the tjads
when he either takes a pitchfork or a
hoe or, if he is rheumatic, a mattress.
One mile of good roads made each year 1
would be more beneficial than all the j
work done in a township. In the near
future there will be some device found .
that will enable our farmers to make '
good roads at a small cost?Jamestown

California's Wide Tire Law. 1
California's new tire law requires
that tires should be from three to six
inches wide, according to size of axle '
or carrying capacity. Wagons with
smaller tires may not be sold or used .
within the state after Jan. 1, 1900.
Narrow tires are the most destructive
influences that are at work upon the
roads. A broad tire, made in proportion
to the load to be carried, may leave a
road better for its passage, where a narrow
tire cuts it into ruts. It would have
been a further improvement had the
legislature ordered that the hind wheels
should run inside the track of the front
wheels of the wagon. Where wheels
trail each other in the same track the
tendency to cut ruts is much greater. If
the wheels were set in different lengths
of axle, six inch tires would give the
effect of a one foot roller on each side
of the wagon.
Road Briefs.
A good road is a public joy.
The better the road is drained, the
easier it is maintained.
Reform the roads and reform the
people.
