How the Auto
Did It
.-: "r IKVIWG CR.AWE
, Copyrisht. 1906, by P. C. Eastment
Mazle Jefferson and her mother had
come Into the city from their country
home to do some shopping, and because
the cabman overcharged them and be
cause Mazle turned Indignant and said
she would go to a police station .before
she would submit to be swindled a
crowd began to gather.
s Harry Finchly was In the crowd. He
promptly espoused the cause of the
women And was struck by cabby's
whip. . In return he pulled cabby off
the box and flung him abont In the
dust until the man looked like a bundle
of lost rags. Then, no policeman hav
ing appeared to Interfere with the nat
ural course of events, the women were
escorted to a hotel.
Cards were exchanged and , thanks
returned, and "all's well that ends
well'' .would have been the finish had
hot young Mr. Finchly decided that
Miss Mazle was an extremely fine look
ing' girl, It had been at least a year
since he had met her equal. " Within
two hours be was longing for another
look Into her brown eyes and recalling
. with satisfaction what a wealth of hair
she 1ind, 'how white and even were her
teeth and what a cute dimple orna
mented her chin. At the end of twen-
ty-four, hours romance and lore were
at work,
" Of course Harry had been Invited to
call If he ever found himself In West
chester county. ' Miss Mazle, who did
most of the talking to him as Veil a
to the cabman, couldn't do less than
Issue this' Invitation,,, but shVfbadn't
the least Idea that her rescuer' would
etr take the trouble to travel their
way.- A surprise was In store tor ber.
He made a call within a week, and he
took pains -to thoroughly Identify him
self." r- ' '.
His trip into the country was made
In bis automobile, and It soon became a
regular thing for iiim id be seen skim
ming over the roads once a week. Mr.
Jefferson liked him. Mrs, Jefferson
thought he was a very proper man In
deed, and Mazle-well, she wasn't -telling
-her thoughts, Irat It they hadn't
favored ' the young man In a general
way be would have found ber confined
to her room with a conTenleht head-.achft'rv-'f
y--An
acquaintance begun In 'April bad
progressed to September without a
thing to mar It ,It had ripened Into
friendship at .least, and there were
Signs that It was hearing "the critical
point Then one. day Harry Finchly
did an unwise thing. In his guileless
and Innocent way be mentioned that
he had given a HtUe dinner to a little
'actress the night before.- In an Instant
the brown eyes that had been full of
laughter began to harden.
' He saw that he had made a mistake,
arid he began to hedge that Is, he
explained that the mother of the little
actress was at the dinner. The point of
Misa Mazle's nose seemed to turn Up,
Ifr. Finchly "further ; explained -that
two aunts and two uncles of the ac
tress were also at dinner. Half a mln
ate later he was protesting that he
would never have given the dinner but
for . the fact that the little actress
Seamed to be hungry and he felt sorry
for" ber.. If had not been much of a
dUrtner -anyhow. He had sat at one
end of the dining room and the actress
at the other, and tber had chewed
olives and drunk poor claret and 40a
fined then- conversation to the weather.
- In fact, Mr. Finchly did all possible
In the next few minutes to repair bli
blonder. He even went the length of
laying lhat the little actress bad a
cast lnone eye and wis probably
twenty year older than she claimed
to be, but when be had finished and

wneel or the wagon was chODDed on
by the autobowever, and as the ma
chine careened onward It also carried i
with It a fair sized haystack. '
"Oh, Harry I" wailed the girl as sh
turned a corner and felt the machine
running on two wheels, but Harry wa
not there. He had Anally bade Mrs.
Jefferson adieu and found his cat
gone. He was after it now with "a
horse and buggy. He was making six
miles an hour, while the filer was fly
ing along at nearly thirty.
A quarter of a mile beyond the turn
a farmer was guiding a drove of hogs
There were twelve in the drove, and
he was changing them from one lot tc
another. He knew that the Spanish
war had ended and that the country
was at peace, and he was humming n
hymn, and the bogs were grunting
grunts of satisfaction when that auto
came howling down upon them. Ii
seemed to be standing on Its hind lega
and pawing tbe air. It was hissing
and gurgling and roaring and. crying
for blood.
"Gosh all hemlock!" shouted the
farmer as he made for the fence and
fell over Into the field.. .
Tbe hogs had no time for words oi
for athletics. It seemed to the weep
ing and terrified girl: that the full doz
en were picked up and flung sky high.
Two of them came down In tbe back
seat and Installed themselves u com
fortable positions for the remainder of
the1 ride, while' the' others shot' right
and left, their remains to be 'gathered
up by the owner later on. :iT j ,
The hog episode was scarcely : two
minutes old when a young man In a
buggy appeared a mile ahead. ' He; was
a young man with red cheeks sad a
marble brow, who was driving to th4
city to Invest In green goods. He held
up his band as a sign that bis horse
did not like autos , No good. .'.Then be
rose up In Tils buggy and waye bla
arm. ' He was still waving when the
cloud of dust passed over him' and: left
him. a wreck on the sands of time.
Some day be may tell his grandchildren
that he wag flung '200 feet high and
400 feet sideways, and be will not be
exaggerating much either.
A constable and an old wagon final
ly stopped the runaway. The officer
saw It coming and shoved the ancient
vehicle ncroaa the road. When the col
lision came tbe auto took a skate Into
the bushes apd brought up agalhst
tree and rested there. ' BofOre j Miss
Mazle could half explain matters she
found herself before a country justice
of the peace, and he was solemnly say-
This is certainly a case forjithe

Use small nails for tops of lath, so

Scaly leg Is a, fllth disease, If It can
be called a disease. It being caused by
a tiny mite which burrows under the
scaloa of the legs and toes. It lives
and breeds there.. Tbe remedy Is very
simple and easy. It Is only necessary
to grease the legs with any kind of
grease. An ointment of a third kero
sene oil and two-thirds lard Is easily
applied, and If well rubbed on and lu
half a dozen times a couple of days
apart should kill the mites, and the
scalos will co:ne off. Don't pull off the
scales tbat'bavo become large. That

National Capitol Notes.
All sort of speculation is in order
now as to what Interstate Commerce
Commission will do wilh the monthly-
report of railroad earnings, and
Operating expenses which will have
to be made to them under the new
rate' law'1 It will be understood at a
glance ol what immense importance
thtse reports will be Irora a specula
tive! standpoint. They ' form the
bases upon which all stock manipu
latioris rest; 'and for stock juggling
purposes they1 are immensely irore
valuable than were even ' the cotton
Crop reports which formed the basis
of' the now historic Agricultural
Department ' leaks. ' According to
the new rate law,' the railroad j will
have to submitt sworn statements
covering theu earnings . ind pperat
ing expenses to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and if these re
ports could be gotten, at by outsid
ers, they would boa remark bly efl'ec
tive speculative weapon. One ol
the beauties of the situation " from
the viewpoint of the manipulating
railroad official, is that 'with the re
ports in the hands of the Interstate
Commeroe Cordmission, ' it will be
almost epsier than ever to give inside
lips to a favored few and then i lay
the blame (or such information given
out upon the clerical employees of
the Commission or the Commission
ers themselves. - None of these re
ports have yet been submitted and
given out by the Commission, ' and
every effort is being made to guard
Xhem carefully when the Commission
does get hold of them.' What effec
tive precautions can be taken is still
an unsolved question, and one may
look for the development of some sort
of abcandal in the matter before the
system is reduced to a working basis.
Contract for the construction of
tbe Panama Canal has not jet been
awarded, but itia understood now
that J. y. Oliver has associated with .
himself gome of the strongest backing
In the United States, that he will be
awarded the contract unless the Canal
Commission ultimately decide to
do the work itself. . Considerable
surprise was expressed in Washing
ton at the selection of John B. Mo-
Donald, the builder of the New York
subway, as the President of the
newly incorporated Panama Canal
Construction Company. It ia under
stood that the visit of Thomas F.
Ryan to the White- House on the
eve pf the formation of this company
had to do, with Mr. McDonald's part
in the enterprise, for Ryan, , it is
known, controla the New , York
subway, and McDonald la bia right
hand in , all engineering matters.
Whether the canal construction con
tract is awaided to a private bidder
or not, it at least, will have shown
the ability of American contractors
to get together an organisation suf
ficient to cope with aay engineering
problem from a pao-Amerioan rail
way to the bridging of Bering Strait.
Tbe River and Harbor Bill ia now

able feature in connection with' It Is
the Uct that Repreeentative Burton,
who ia the chairman o(. the com
mittee, uiled to Uke all that he
could get in tbe way of appropria
lions for work in his district and
state. One matter ol interest, bow-
ever, hss been brought up in, the
discussion of the bill, and that is a
demand lot inveatlgation as to bow
far the wharfage facilities at Macon,
Gs,are io the bands ol iotsrests that
will use tbem for limiting the com
petition between railroad and wUr
boroe!freigb(. Tbis is an inquiry
abicb very well could be mads ia
many localities beside Macon, lor it
has been shown In numerous bear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission that oo nearly all of
the navigable rivers (be freight rates
are controlled exclusively in tbe ia
teresU of the railroad and there la
little actual competition between the
two classes of reixbt carriers. This

,It appears from the report f tbe
Jidiciary Comrctttee ol the House
on tbe subject of child Labor in tbe
United BUtea, that Senator Beve

a bard road to travel before H Is K
trer enacted bio law! Tbe speech
of Senator Beveridge on the child
labor .problem i showed deplorable
conditions existing:' throughout the
United States. He declared that
according to the census report there
were 2,000,000 child . bread-winners
in this country, and that of . ihesei
700,000 wore employed i1n occupa

reduce operacing expenses. .Senator
Beveridge pointed oat, , the , ganger
and tbe fallacy, ofw this ;(cbeapqegs
not only because of its , Hurtful ef
fect upon the children employed,.
but because it also tended to. reduce,
adult wages to the scale of payment
