STRUCK A SNAG
A Painful Jolt For the Good Road
Ambassador
Ill uover forget the night I culled on
the Widow Yarn She owned forty
acres on tin main road which 1 hoped
to have Improved In practically every
house In the county 1 had liecn hos
pltably rt elved hecause I was a liu
man being A pioneer citizen member
of the Jood Roads club tool me In a
carriage to see the widow Ill watch
the horses this wise old citizen said
I dont know what would frighten
them 1 suggested bin he seemed to
expect a brass band or some other un
usual sight although It was 8 oclock
at night I soon knew why he prefer
red to sit out there in the cold
Mrs Yarn I believe V I began In
gratiatingly when the door was open
ed
Well the person who stood there
observed Ive been here forty years
You ought to believe it
This thinks 1 to myself is a
strange place for curbstone humor
And then aloud I have been talking
for good roads madam We have de
cided to run a rock road by here and
ns-
Wlio has decided This in the
vol e of a conductor when he asks you
how old your little boy is
Why 1 stammered the Good
Roads club and
I dont belong to it do I They
wouldnt have a woman member
would they
Im sure I dont know I have been
Sure you dont the Widow Yarn
snapped Youre chiefly concerned
about taxing my forty acres into the
county treasury without letting me
vote on It What right have you to
come over here to build roads Are
you a road builder Did you ever
build a road or pay for one
Madam 1 said you really do have
a vote on this question if n road dis
trict is organized You have forty
votes one for every acre you own
and-
ner face lighted up with a light that
never was seen before on human face
unless perhaps in riding on an old
transfer or getting rid of a bad nickel
She opened the door wider I had not
been admitted up to that moment and
asked me to enter
You say I have forty votes she
inquired
You have I assured her feeling
like the bearer of good news
Well glory be the Widow Yarn
sighed rocking herself comfortably
Glory be say I Ill cast them ali
against your old rock road Now I
must be getting ready for prayer meet-

The Terrors of Frankness
There is no worse vice than frank
ness said a playwright How should
1 feel for example if 1 asked you for
your opinion of my plays and you an
swered me frankly quite frankly
Why 1 should feel like the poor lady
at the bridge drive who said to her
hostess little daughter
Your eyes are such a heavenly
blue And what color are my eyes

AN ARCTIC CAMP
Pearys Canvas Tents Which Were
Absolutely Snow Proof
A mans llrst night in a canvas tent
in the arctic is likely to be nil her
wakeful says Cuuuiiinder iearv in
Hamptons The Ice makes mysteri
ous noises the dogs bark ami tight out
side the tent where they are tethered
and as three Eskimos and one white
man usually occupy a small tent and
the oil stove is left burning all nigh
the air notwithstanding the cold N
not overpure and sometimes the Ivki
mos begin chanting to the spirits o
their ancestors in the middle of the
night Sometimes too the new mans
nerves are tried by hearing wolves
howl in the distance
The tents are specially made They
are of lightweight canvas and the
floor of the tent is sewed directly into
it The fly is sewed up a circuit t
opening in it just large enough to ad
mit a man and that opening fitted
with a circular flap which is closed by
a drawstring making the tent abso
lutely snow proof An ordinary tent
when the snow is flying would be filled
in no time
The tent Is pyramidal with one pole
in the center and the edges are usual
ly held down by the sledge runners or
by snowshoes used as tent pegs The
men sleep on the floor in their clothes
with a musk ox skin or a couple of
deerskins wrapped around them
The kitchen box for our sledge
journeys is simply a wooden box con
taining two double burner oil stoves
I with four inch wicks The two cook
ing pots are the bottoms of live gallon
coal oil tins fitted with covers When
packed they are turned bottom side up
over each stove and the hinged corer
of the wooden box is closed
On reaching camp whether tent or
snow igloo the kitchen box is set
down inside The top of the box is
turned up and keeps the heat of the
stove from melting the wall of the
igloo or burning the tent The hinged
front of the box is turned down and
forms a table The two cooking pots
are filled with pounded ice and put on
the stove When the ice melts one pot
is used for tea and the other may be
used to warm beans or to boil meat if
there is any
Each man has a quart cup for tea
and a hunting knife which serves
many purposes He does not carry a
fork and one teaspoon is considered
quite enough for a party of four Each

there shall be two meals a day one
in the morning and one at night As
the days grow short the meals are tak

Harpers i the period of light entirely for work
Sometimes it is necessary to travel
twenty four hours without stopping for
food

spread the fame of his creations t

In his methods there was nothing of

the detective of fiction lacked His
own story of how he got the evidence
to convict young Michael E McGloIu
of the murder of a Frenchman In Xew

pcarcd to he impossible
I knew he committed that murder
said Byrnes but how to prove it was
the question I even hired a woman
to keep him company for six weeks
and she would have lost an arm befort
she would have given him away if she
had known what I wanted him for
But all she had to do was to keep me
informed as to what he was doin
where he went and whom he associ u
ed with At last in desperation I
played my last card I had him ar
rested and I arrested his three ac
complices each being taken separate
and all kept apart I took McGloIn
into a little room looking out on tin
central court of the headquarters build
ing and I seated him so that he was
facing the window and could see whti
went on in the courtyard I sat fa
ing him with my back toward the win
dow
All around the room were nooses of
hangmens ropes black jacks and oth
er things associated with crime and
punishments I kept him there forty
five minutes and at the end of each
fifteen minutes one after another of
his accomplices was taken across the
courtyard as if he had just been ar
rested rsot a word was said by in
He kept asking me what I wanted of
him and what he had done As each
of the first two of his accomplices
brought in 1 could see him start Then
in his knife and fishes out a piece of I
t a pawnbroker came into the room and
handed the with which the

murder was done The pawnbroker
went out and I sat there playing with

in agony of terror and begged me to
save him from the gallows

How closely famous pictures can be
Imitated by skillful artists was proved
by an exhibition by Ruskiu In 1S75 of
Tho Cobra of India
Among the true cobras of India the
a series of facsimiles of Turners uaja s found all over India and
tures in the National gallery London Ceylon Burma the Andaman islands
The collection was accompanied by a southern China and the Malay penin
characteristic note from Ruskin in sua and archipelago It ascends the
which he said I have given my best Himilayas to an altitude of S000 feet
attention during upward of ten years it extends also over Afghanistan and
to train a copyist to perfect fidelity in through Persia to the eastern shore of
rendering the works of Turner aud the Caspian It may attain a length of
have now succeeded in enabling him nearly seven and a half feet but it is
to produce facsimiles so close as to usually not more than a little over
look like replicas facsimiles which I five and a half feet long Najas vary
must sign with my own name to pre- much in color and markings but have
vent their being sold for real Turners j generally the spectacle mark on the
will be the most impressive demonstra
tion of organized Christianity the Unit
ed States has ever seen
It is a far cry from the obscure and
sneered at ragged school of Robert
Raikes little more than a hundred
years ago to the Washington conven
tion with a president governors sen
ators congressmen supreme court jus
tices and world famous business men
in attendance not to mention the hun
dreds of representative Christian lead
ers from all climes
One of the spectacular exhibits at
the Washington convention will be an
array of letters from the foremost pub
lie men in America reciting their per
gonal relationship to the Sunday school
This will be a rather astonishing
showing the convention leaders de
clare revealing a real connection be
tween Sunday school training and suc
cess in life A great parade of mem
bers of adult Bible classes will pro
ceed down Pennsylvania avenue It
is expected that several thousand men
will be in line A childrens parade
for one afternoon of the convention is
also projected
A womens mass meetimr and a mens
mass meeting are other program items
The afternoon sessions will be devot
ed to hearing from the foreigners and
these will be called a congress of the
world
The 1910 gathering in Washington is
expected to be the largest of all
