One of the most instructive papers of
the good roads convention in Buffalo
in September was by Lewis M. Ilaupt,
Philadelphia, member of the isthmian
canal commission.
"Every forward turn of a wheel," he
said, "is a revolution and typifies prog
ress. It is immaterial whether it be a
wagon wheel or a car wheel, a fly
wheel or a water wheel, a turbine or a
propeller, a pinion or a pulley, a bicycle
or a mobile. It is always fascinating
to see the wheels go round.
"But behind the wheel to make it re
volve there may be a crank; behind the
crank there must be a motor; behind
the motor au artisan; behind the arti
san a capitalist; behind the capitalist
an Inventor; behind the inventor there
is the great Creator of nilud and mat
ter, the incomprehensible God, the
mainspring of all activities and possi
bilities.
"Intuitively the mind is carried back
in the spirit of the days of old, when
the prophet Ezekiel stood on the banks
of the river Chebar, In the land of the
Chaldeans, and, looking into the opened
heavens, beheld the four living crea
tures which had the likeness of a man
going upon wheels.
" 'The appearance of the wheels and
their work was like unto the color of
beryl, and they four had one likeness,
ami their appearance and their work
was, as it were, a wheel in the middle
of a wheel. * * * The spirit of the liv
ing creature was in the wheels. And
whithersoever the spirit was togo they
Went, thither was their spirit to go.'
"From that day to this the earth has
trundled around her course in yearly
laps, bearing to the children of the
present century the fruition of this
prophecy of the spirit and the wheels.
Well may it be said today that every
thing goes upon wheels, but there are
wheels and wheels. Some turn more
easily than others and do more work
at less cost, and thus we are brought
directly Into contact with the surface
or roadway which the wheel harnesses
as a practical question in economics,
mechanics and physics.
"In addition to the wheel and its
way there are obstacles of various
kiuds which impede its progress.
IMPASSABLE FOB WHEELS.
There may be a mountain in the path
or cataract in the stream, a chasm in
the plain, or it may be that rain has
converted an earthen road into a
aloug!>. thru :i cy.-lone has drifted sand
across a railway or a blizzard has till
ed a cut with snow.
"Such are a few of the contingencies
which obstruct the highways of com
merce and which it is the work of the
engineer and roadmaker to remove
,where practicable.
"What better and more condensed
Instructions can be found for this than
those which came from the prophet
Isaiah as the voice of him that crieth
from the wilderness of Asia, 'Prepare
ye the way; make straight in the des
ert a highway for our God.'
"Today Russia is literally carrying
out these specifications in extending
her area of steel from the Baltic to the
Japan sea that civilization may ad
vance by the peaceful revolutions of
the wheel and not by the arbitrament
of the sword. * * * Roman roads sub
jugated and controlled the empire.
Truly the wheel is mightier than the
sword as a civilizing agent."
Following this preamble Mr. Haupt
showed the relation of the rate of
transportation to the profit to the pro
ducer and the influence severally of
the highway, the railway and the ar
tificial and national waterways in lim
iting or extending the market range.
In conclusion he said:
"Very little of the 800,000,000 of tons
of freight carried annually on the rail
roads of the United States has its
origin on the line of the road, but
must first be moved from farm, mine
or forest over earth roads at an average
cost of 2v» cents p<r ton mile. If the
average distance be but four miles
the expense of transportation before
delivery to the railroad would be SSOO,-
000,000, while the charge for distri
bution may swell this to over $l,<X)O,-
000,000 annually, most of which goes
to cover wear and tear.
"The cost of transportation on our
common roads may be greatly dimin
ished by reducing the resistances and
Improving the grades, alignment, sur
face and drainage. If reduced to even
one-half the effect would be to double
the area of the territory tributary to
the railroads and so increase their ton
nage as well as the margin available
for transportation.
"As it costs much less to Improve
roads than to open branch railroads
as feeders, it would be good policy on
the part of railroads to unite with
counties, townships and boroughs in
developing systems of improved trunk
roads with laterals as feeders to their
own qrttems. ITtHßtiuui precedents I
for such a policy exist In foreign coun j
tries, where the results have proved
Its wisdom and econotnv"

i Aiuos Shepard dismissed his seere-
I tary and walked to the window. The
afternoon sun cast a dazzling light on
the tlrst snowfall, and above the clang
of the cable cars sounded the faint I
tingle of sleighbells on the boulevard, i
Buttoning his overcoat to the throat. !
he strode down the mosaic corridor, I
past the brass cages behind which the
bank clerks were casting up the day's
accounts, and threw open the door,
whose curtains had been tightly
drawn. As he stood on the threshold ;
a pleased light came into his shrewd j
gray eyes. Round the corner, with i
clink of silver chains and Jingle of ;
bells, swept his favorite team of j
blacks. The present Mrs. Shepard was ,
most considerate of her husband's'
wishes and tastes. Sleighing was one ,
of the banker's keenest pleasures, and
she had remembered the fact
But as the horses stopped before the
bank Mr. Shepard noted the absence !
of his big English coachman. A tall, ;
square shouldered figure sprang out and
tossed back the fur robes, then waved j
a familiar greeting to the man on the
step. It was Reginald.
"Come on, father, for a dash on the
speedway! Everybody's out."
"Where is James?" inquired Shepard
as he climbed Into the cutter.
"At the stables. I thought— we—
might have the first ride of the season ,
together."
If the elder Shepard had not been ;
so absorbed in studying the set of the
new harness, he might have observed
in his son's voice an anxious note and
In the adjustment of the robes more
than ordinary filial solicitude.
Once ou the boulevard, beyond busi
ness tratfic and cable cars, he might
also have looked here and there on
dull brownstone houses whose rentals
flowed into the Shepard coffers. When
the avenue rose sheer above the
water's edge, he might have looked
across the stream to his large holdings
in the Palisades, from which, it was
predicted, the city would eventually
draw Its water supply.
But he was not thinking of these
things. A' faraway look came into hi 9
eyes, and he paid no heed to his sou's
occasional comments on passing ve
hicles until finally Reginald found
.what comfort he could In his own
thoughts.
Amos Shepard sat with his arms
folded, studying with unseeing eyes
the scenery spreading out before them.
Instead of towering cliffs and stately
mansions, he saw a stretch of mid
west prairies broken by rail fences
and low farmhouses. The blooded
trotters were transformed into a
patient gray mare drawing a high box
sleigh. The robe was a flannel lined
buffalo skin, and— But did that mat
ter? She was at his side, and with
lips stiff, partl3 - from cold and partly
from the fear that he was asking more
than she could give, he framed the
momentous question.
And that thrilling word of three let
ters which seemed to change his whole
life—it carried him away from the old
farm to the busy city above the river,
where he meant to make a name for
himself and wealth for Kitty. It was
much harder than he had anticipated.
He was almost ready to give up and
return to the farm when she wrote
that she thought she could help him,
and she was such a dainty, fragile
Kitty. After she came it was easier.
It was Kitty's encouragement and
good advice that smoothed out many
a business wrinkle, just as her soft
hand rubbed away the frowns and the
headaches at night.
By and by her hands were less soft,
for the work became heavier when the
babies arrived. And when, after he >
nad achieved his first little success, j
came the panic to sweep everything
before it Kitty's wise head planned the
foundations for the new work, and .
Kitty's small economies, ennobled by I
her great love, made the upward climb
easier. He could see her now making
red flannel mittens for Reggie and the j
wee checked pinafores she sewed for
Kathie under the green shaded lamp.
He drew in his breath quickly. The
picture changed to the day when he
brought home her first silk dress. How
her blue eyes shone when lie threw the
glistening folds over her shoulders!
Later came the sealskin aiul the dia
monds, but nothing that made them
half so happy as that first silk dress.
And day by day as he prospered he re
alized that there was sometlnng which :
his wealth could not buy back—the j
fading health of his quiet, fragile wife, j
When It was all over and for one !
long, weary year Kitty had lain asleep
under the graceful marble shaft, a
handsome mistress came to the newly
furnished mansion on the avenue.
Thoughtless people said it was so for
tunate all round, for the flrst Mrs.
Shepard was not the sort of woman to
preside over such a home or to culti- ,
vate the people who would be usefu; ,
to a rising man like Amos Shepard. ]
The second Mrs. Shepard was adml- |
rably adapted to the position. She ,
knew the schools which would give t
the children the best social standing.
She presided over a dinner table with ' j
indescribable grace and tact, and when t |
Shepard was elected to congress it !
was freely circulated that his wife's !
diplomacy had been worth more for ,
campaign purposes than his goodly |
check. Kathie's social debut was set i
for next week. Already the society
papers were siuging of her prospects, j
her feowns and her beauty, and she
looked like—his Kitty of the sleigl
ride years ago.
"Father, I want to tell you some

They were almost home, and th*
young fellow was getting desperate

Amos Shepard's lips closed firmly.

night before? Reginald Shepard, M

They were under the porte cochere.
Without a word Amos Shepard tossed
aside the fur robes.
"1 say, dad, you're not angry?"
His father stood beside the cuttei
gazing up at a window screened by
filmy lace. Suddenly he wheeled
around and faced his son. Something
the latter had never seen shone in
Amos Shepard's eyes.

not large or showy, but It's a mighty
pretty little house. Well, I'll deed thai

And Amos Shepard, banker and
member of congress, ran up the graniti
steps like a boy.
STABLING COWS.
A Clean, Comfortnlile ami Safe Stall
For Dairy Cowi.
To be efficient a cow stall must keep ;
the auimal both comfortable and clean.
Experienced farmers anil dairymen are
most of tiiem quite familiar with the
merits of the Hoard stall; yet, as it Is
simple of construction and unpatented,
many others may be interested in it.
An illustration and explanation of it,
originally given In Hoard's Dairyman,
are therefore here reproduced.
The excellence of this plan of tying
cows over the stanchion plan is found
as follows:
First.—The cow has three and a half
feet in width of stall and perfect liber
ty and comfort of position.
Second. -By virtue of the bar across
the stall floor, which will be seen Just
forward of the hind feet of the stand
ing cow, the animal has always a dry,
clean bed to lie in, thus keeping her as
clean from manure lu winter as though
she were in a June pasture.
Third.—By this system each cow is
protected when lying down from hav
ing her tuats and udder stepped on by
her standing neighbor. This Is one of
the most productive sources of Injury
that is known and of itself should con
demn the rigid stanchion.
The cut represents one row of cows
facing another row. A closely board
ed partition about four feet high forms
the front of the stall. Each cow has
three and a half feet In width. The
floor is made tight, and there Is no
drop In rear of cows except the thick !
ness of one plank, which is the double J
floor of the stall. The feeding rack Is j
constructed for two purposes flrst, to J
I UK HOAltl> STALL.
contain any hay or roughage that may
be fed to the cow (the slats are put on
wide enough so the cow can easily get
her nose between them; second, to
force the cow when standing to stand
with her hind feet In rear of the croBS
b!U- across the stall floor. In construct
ing the feeding rack nail a 2 by S piece
of scantling edgewise against the board
partition. This constitutes the liottom
of the rack and should be placed about
thirty inches from the floor. Place the
top scantling about two feet from the
partition. This makes the feeding rack
eight inches wide at the bottom and
two feet wide nt the top. In the center
of the bottom scantling fasten a ring
screw to tie the halter to. Fasten the
cow with a common web halter, she
wearing the headpiece ail the time. The
halter end of the rope has a safety
snap to fasten luto the ring of the hal
ter under the throat. To prevent the
cow from getting loose it is well to di
vide the end of the rope Into two
strands, each six Inches long, and put a
snap In each, fastening in both the rlDg
when tying the cow.
The grain and ensilage box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the cow usually lies on. If she
lies on her left side, place the grain
box on the right side, as seen In the
engraving. This box is large enough
to contain the ensilage and grain feed
and is reached by an opening In the
partition It Is best to buve the feed
box slant down toward the cow, ho
that all the feed will easily work down
to the end nearest her. This box
should be long enough to extend from
the partition into the stall as far as
the upper part of the feed rack pro
jects and about is or 20 inches wide
and 1G inches deep, if placed suffi
ciently slanting, the feed will easily
work down to the lower end next the
COW, so that she will not need to bring
her hind feet in on her Redding lu or
der to reach the contents id the boX.
For many years after the close of the
civil war water was not generally dis
tilled in vessels of the navy except on
long voyages. Later on medical statis
tics sh<.wed that in ships where dis
tilled water only was used there was
almost an entire freedom from dysen
tery and eut -ric fevers, while these dis
orders were more or less common in
vessel-, that used water purchased in
differed ports. Gradually the prac

WINTER IRRIGATION.
I
Artaona E*p«rlenee rontalnln«r a
< Hint For the ilnmld Regluna.
i Fruits can be successfully grown In
the vulleys of southern Arizona only
by the aid of Irrigation. Until within
' recent yearn it has been the common
practice of fruit growers In that sec
tion to irrigate orchards once or twice
I a month from February until October.
The summer supply of water for this
purpose is often Inadequate, for, while
the heaviest rainfall occurs during
midsummer, the amount of water
available for crops is only about one
third of that available in winter. In
1898 experiments were beguu by A. J.
McClatchle of the Arizona station for
the purpose of determining to what
extent summer irrigation of the de
j clduous orchard fruit trees might be
' rendered unnecessary by the liberal
application of water during the winter,
when the supply was comparatively
abundant. The advantage of winter
irrigation and the reasons for the good
effects obtained in these and succeed
ing experiments are stated as follows:
During the winter the lower temper
atures and the higher relative humid
ity cause evaporation to be much low
er than during the remainder of the
year. In applying water, therefore,
comparatively little escapes Into the
1 atmosphere. The supply of water, be
j ing greatest at that time of the year,
1 makes It possible to apply large
j amounts at short intervals, thus avoid
ing the loss that occurs if small
amounts are applied at greater inter
( vals. Then, too, the trees are dormant
and roots need little air; hence no in
i Jury is done them by keeping the soil
, supertnolstened or by letting the sur-
I face bake to some extent. Consequent
-1 ly cultivation after each irrigation is
not necessary, much time thus being
saved.
Trees make use of and consequently
need water much earlier than Is com
monly supposed. An examination made
Feb. 20, 1900, revealed that at the
depth of ten to sixteen feet even young
roots throe to six Inches long had al
ready grown. At this date then* were
few above ground indications of
growth, and It would not have been
supposed by making a casual observa
tion that the trees would make use of
any water that might b»- applied.
While the air above ground is still too
cool to start the development of the
buds, the roots far beneath the surface
are making a growth that prepares the
tree for the demand for water that tin
leaves will make later. Thus If the
trees have an abundance of water dur
ing the winter the early root growth
that will be made will enable them to
make rapid growth as soon as the air
above ground is warm enough to per
rait it. These facts account for the
rapid and vigorous growth that the
winter irrigated orchard made in early
spring compared with those that had
not been thus irrigated.
While the lessons taught by these ex
periments apply specifically to Arizona
conditions, they have a much wider
application and value, for conditions
similar to those of Arizona prevail ex
tensively In other parts of the arid re
gion where agriculture is dependent
upon irrigation. Moreover, they em
phaslze the importance even for humid
regions of keeping the soil In such con
dition that it will store up in time of
abundant rainfall a sufficient supply of
water to carry crops safely over a pe
riod of drought.
Our First Canal Lock.
The first canal lock built In America
is preserved as a relic near the present
site of the Soo canal. It was built by
the Northwestern Fur company in
1790. It is 88 feet long and 8 feet 9
Inches wide. It had a lift of nine feet
and a depth of two and a half feet.
During the war of 1812 it was badly
wrecked. The early day fur companies
used this little waterway to lock down
their small cargoes of valuable furs.

Who Finished
The Game?
[Original.]
There is a dispute about a certain j
feature of the Yale-Harvard football
game back in irt'.t— that is 110 nearer a ,
settlement than it was an hour after ;
the tianic was finished. All the men !
who were engaged in it have left col- i
lege long ago, but the matter has been j
handed down lo the undergraduates |
and serves for :i subject of perpetual!
wrangling. The trouble was that in j
those (lays they played the game too 1
late in the day, and before it could be j
finished it was so dark one could i
scarcely distinguish one side from the |
other.
The dispute la question could not 1
have arisen except for this cause. The '
game was played on Thanksgiving
day, very nearly the shortest In the j
year. This particular Thanksgiving j
was cloudy: consequently the dark- '
ness came 011 earlier than usual.
The way of it was this: Bannard
was the center rush for Yale, and 11
wasn't known till the game began thai
he was suffering from some heart com !
plication, probably brought on at prac
tice the day before, when he suddenly
fainted after a hard scrimmage. His
'• doctor forbade his going into the
| Thanksgiving game, but he was loyai
to his college, and he knew it would
lose without him. At any rate, there
was a consultation on Tlinnksglving
eve, and when the boys appeared from i
behind locked doors it was announced
that there had been a mistake about
Bannard's heart trouble and he would
take his place in the team next day.
i Everything -went straight enough till
j near the end of the tirst half. Bannard
1 shouldered the principal work, as he
i had always done, and Yale had scored
j more points than Harvard, but toward
the end of the half Bannard begaD
to look queer and let Sampson of \
* Harvard right past him with the ball,
thereby losing a touchdown. Sampson 1
1 kicked the goal and tied the game.
7 After the next lineup Bannard during
i a scrimmage fell over in a faint, and
, that let Harvard in for another touch
down and a goal. Bannard was car
ried off the lield.
Well, it began to get dark, but waa
' not so dark when the men lined up
* again but that I could see Bannard In
e position. But somehow he looked tall
i er than usual, and there was a peculiar
r motion about him that 1 had never no
'- ticed before. After a half hour of the
:i second half all one could see of the
. players was a lot of dark figures on a
r dark ground. Bannard's tall frame
t loomed up above the rest like the spec
- | ter of the Brocken. Great guns, how
p ; he did play! He was at the front, at
1 the flank, in every scrimmage. In
•. 1 short, he was carrying the game far
v ! better than he had ever done before,
r Then came that celebrated run in
i which he dodged six men and, uuguard
- ed, carried the ball over the line twenty
: yards in front of his nearest follower
- "for a touchdown. I watched to see him
- kick his goal, and what was my sur
- prise to see another man do It for him.
p I asked what it meant and was told
, j that he had gone under again.
9 | The game now was tied. When the
- men lined up again, I watched for
Bannard. Sure enough, he was there,
r> and after tho kickoff did the same as
tonishing work as before. lie scored
1 two touchdowns, but by this time it
was so dark that 1 could not see who
t kicked them. However, they both fall
- ed, on account of the darkness, 1 sup
! pose, leaving Yale ahead in the game.
* Before any more points could be
scored Bannard suddenly disappeared

1 Bannard at all. though h« was euougi.
like him to deceive his own mother.
Bo this as it may. the game was won
; for Yale. I waited to see Bannard kick
for goal, but waited In vain. Somebody
told me that ft was so dark he couldn't
| see the postn and that the game w«b
won anyway for Yale. There was a
j hubbub among the players of l>oth
i sides, who were huddled in two groups
near the center of the gridiron. One of
them, a Harvard man, shouted "Foul!"
and I saw the Yale captain goto him
j and shake his list in his face, but 1
j could not hear what he said for the
I commotion.
What do you suppose I saw in the
| death notices of the newspapers the
next day—"Died, on Thursday, the
29th of November, Archibald Theodore
| Bannard, in the twentieth year of his
i age."
At what time a day did he die? No
one knows, at least no one will tell,
though it is generally conceded that
when he was carried off the field at
the end of the first half he never went
on it aguiu. If so. who was in his
place? One report said that he had a
twin brother—the black sheep of the
i family, never-spoken of—who returned
just before the game, and it was agreed
beforehand that if Archie Bannard
broke down this brother shtxild take
his place. This is the explanation of
some Harvard men, but I have met
one man of their team, a superstitious
sort of fellow, who declares that Ban
nard died at the end of the first half,
and his death was kept a secret. He
wouldn't go off to the other world
without seeing his eollego win.
Anyway there's a lot of loyalty at
Yale. ROGER T. HOWELL.
Creeds and Trades.
Certain creeds seem to monopolize
i certain industries. Practically all
British manufacturers of cocoa, for
example, are Quakers. TheD, in Lon
don at any rate, a very large percent

best known manufacturers of Christ
; mas cards are Jews. Whenever a.
Welshman comes to London to seek hia

owing to the fact that they lack the
money making instinct, flock-to Jour
