The Od Tarnpikes
In another column in this issue Col,
D. F, Fortney gives the gist of the
various laws bearing on condemned
turnpikes and the opinions of the
courts with reference to counties main-
taining these pikes. The law compell-
ing the counties to maintain these
roads seems to be unpopular, but as
long as the law stands the roads should
not be neglected, because such a move
will tend toward a greater burden on
the townships, when the roads again
revert to their keeping. And on the
townships is where the roads will
finally rest.
The Legislature is being petitioned
to put the maintaining of these roads
on the state, but that will not happen
for many years, if ever. The Legisla
ture is busy building an sutomobile
road from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,
and has no time nor money for com
mon roads through sparsely settled
districts, but it might find time to re
peal the laws concerning the main-
taining of turnpikes, and in that event
townships will pay the fiddler.

The ‘Wrong Horse,
Bridget had Leen in America only a
few months, but she belleved fn the
principle of pretending to know what
she ought to know She had been en-
gaged as laundry girl in a small family
of well to do people. When asked if
she understood all the details of her
work she unhesitatingly replied, “Sure
Ido, ma'am.”
Her mistress was not quite satisfied,
however, and while she was busy with
her first washing looked In upon Ler.
Bridget seemed to be doing all right,
and she left without offering sugges-
tions.
Next morning the ironing was in or-
der, and Bridget was hard at it when
her mistress looked in to say, “As you
get the clothes ironed, just throw them
over the horse."
“All right, ma'am.” the busy laundry
girl replied without stopping to ralse
her eyes from her work in hand
The laundry room was located In an
outhouse adjoining the barn, and ocea-
slonally the neighing of the family
horse and the merry volee of Bridget
resounded throughout the house,
Returning to the laundry house a
couple of hours later, the lady could
scarcely believe her eyes nor restrain
her mirth when she beheld the fam
fly horse, standing patiently beside
Bridget, loaded down with newly
ironed sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths
and lace trimmed walsts and skirts,
With an anxious look on her honest
face Bridget observed. “I'm glad
you've come, ma'am, for I'll have to
have another horse.”
Working Too Hard.

“Well, Sarah,” sald the owner upon
his return, “I'm about all tired out. Is
the cows in the barn?"
“Yes; long since,” replied hig wife,
barely looking up from the task then
in band.
“Is the hosses unharnessed an' fed?”
“Yes.”
“Chickens locked up?
“Yes.”

Betore 1800 it was the

in pearly alithe states by popular vote,

in the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming Its ‘ewn electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method of election is prescribed
by the state laws
From 1800 to 1824 presidential can-
