What does a Congressman do wtth his leisure hours in summer in Washington after a hard day's grind of work at the Capitol and around the government de. partments ? He must have some recrea- tion and relaxation, the same as other pusy people, and he finds it in many ways. Many members of Congress brought their automobiles with them when they came from their homes in the States, and they are parked in great numbers in the wide plaza fronting the Capitol Building, and, when Congress adjourns for the day,'Mr. Congressman can be seen scooting down the Capitol steps and drives away to seek a cooling swim in the Potomac River. Many fre- quent the roof gardens atop the big ho- tels, where they enjoy dinner in the open air aud listen to the musie of the jazz bands. Attractive country clubs claim many of them as members ; boat trips down the Potomac River, excursions to Chesapeake Bay, open-air picture shows and long trolley rides—all come in to help Mr, Congressman refresh aud and body and keep him fit for his arduous daily tasks, A. —— Put It in the Bil. The habitual customer, Mr, Feed- well, would often condescend to chat with the head walter. One day he said very seriously: “Look here, T don't often complain, but this pepper of yours Is half peas!” “Oh, no!” said the head walter In- dignantly. *1 see to that myself. We grind our own pepper.” “But 1 tell you it's half peas,” said the customer. “and I'l prove it} Pep pre-r—half ‘p's’ You see” And he lnughed until the tears came, The head waiter smiled weakly, and went to get the customer's change, He returned still smiling. The customer gianeed through his change. “Threepence short,” he sald, “I think not, sir,” sald the walter, “Sixpence for peas, sir. Now-—half peas—"—London Tit-Bits, ie ————— § Helgoland.

To take the place of the bonuses of so per cent of the amount expended by townships for road work, not exceeding $20.00 per mile, a new system of rewards will be allowed townships under a law just now operative. The rewards equal one-third of the cost of improvements, but the improve- men ts must be of a character defined by the state, and include grading and draining a section of road ; graveling or cindering a graded and drained section ; macadamizing or for constructing a Tel- ford macadam section ; for constructing a concrete, brick or bituminous surfaced section ; all sections of road constructed must be at least one-half mile in length. Bridges are also included in the new law but must be built as provided by the state, The new measure will pot permit re- covery of any part of the expense of the construction of roads, where the former haphazzard methods are employed, It is therefore the townships that road systematically and according to the better methods that will profit by this change of the rgad law, build Lightning Destroys Two Union County Barns. The barn ou the farm of Daniel Miller near the dam northeast of Mifflinburg, was struck by lightning and completely destroyed. * There were no cattle or hor- ses in the building at the time, only a few hogs and chickens.

All the stock was saved. i —— Boys Playing Cowboy, Kill Small Companion.
