Coprrlstit, 1S1. by Doubleday,
Page &
t'o.
. The other day I ran across my old
friend Ferguson rogue. Pogue is a
conscientious grafter of the highest
type, His headquarters is the west
ern hemisphere, and his line of busi
ness is auythlng from speculating In
town lots on the Great Staked plains
to selling wooden toys In Connecticut
made by hydraulic pressure from nut
megs ground to a pulp.
now ana then when Pogue has
made a 'good haul he comes to New
Tork for a rest. He says the Jug of
wine and loaf of bread and thou in
the 1 wilderness business is about as
mncn rest and pleasure to him as slid
ing down the bumps at Coney would
be to President Taf t. "Give me." says
Pogue, "a big city for my vacation, es
pecially New York. I'm not much
fond of New Yorkers, and Manhattan
is. about the only place on the globe
Where I don't find, any.?. -
While In the metropolis Pogue can

Beside his expression the cry of Henry

like a Chaldean cryptogram. He told
me stories of hlst profession, with
pride, for he considered It, an art And
. was . curious eriough to, 'ask ,kUn
whether; he had known any woman
who followed it
"Ladles?" said Pogue, with western
chivalry. JWell, not to any great ex

"But I'm telling you about Artemi.
sia Blye. She was from Kansas, and
she suggested corn in all of Its phases.
Her hair was aa yellow as the silk,
her form was as tall and graceful as
a stalk In the low grounds during a
wet summer, her eyes were as big and
startling as bunions, and green was
her favorite color.
"On my last trip into the cool re
cesses of your sequestered city 1 met
a human named Vaucross. He was
worth that Is, be had a million. He
told me he was in business on the
street. 'A sidewalk merchant? says I,
sarcastic. 'Exactly,', says be, 'senior
partner of a paving concern."
"1 kind of took to him for this rea
son: 1 met mm on Broadway one
night when I was out of heart, luck
tobacco and place. He was all silk
hat diamonds and front. He was all
front. If you had gone behind him
you would have only looked yourself
In the face. I looked like a cross be
tween Count Tolstoy and a June lob
ster. I was out of luck. I had But
let me lay my eyes on that dealer
again.
"Vaucross stopped and talked to me
a few minutes, and then he took me
to a high toned restaurant to eat din
ner. There was music and then some
Beethoven and Bordelalse sauce and
cussing in French and frangipaugi and
spme hauteur and cigarettes. When 1
am flush I know them places.
. i "I declare I must have looked aa
, bad as a magazine artist sitting there
without any money and my hair all
, rumpled like I waa booked to read a
chapter from 'Elsie's School Days' at
a Brooklyn bohemlan smoker. But
Vaifcross treated me like a bear hunt
er's guide. He wasn't afraid of hurt
ing the waiter's feelings.
"'Mr. Pogue,' he explains to me, 'I
am using you.'
M fin nn aava T T Iiam .mi dnn'l i
wake up.'
. . "And then he tells me, you know,
the kind of man he was. He was a
New Yorker. His whole ambition was
to be noticed. He wanted to be con
spicuous. He wanted people to point
him out and bow to him and tell
. others who he was. He said It had
been. the desire of bis life always.
He, didn't have but a million, so he
couldn't attract attention by spending
mfluey. He said be tried to get Into
public notice one time by planting a
little public square on the east side
with garlic for free use of the poor,
but Carnegie heard of it and covered
It over at once with a library in tbe
Gaelic language. Three times he bad
jumped hi the way of automobiles, but
the only result was five broken ribs
and a notice In the papers that an un
known ,mah live feet ten, with four
amalgam filled teeth, supposed to be
the last of the famous Red Leary
gang, had been run over.
'"Ever try the reporters?" I asked
him.
" 'Last month," says Mr. Vaucross,
my expenditure for lunches to report
ers was $124.80.'
"'Get anything out of that?" I asks.
"That reminds me,' says he; 'add
$8.50 for pepsin. Yes, I got Indiges
tion.' " 'How am I supposed to push along
your scramble for prominence?" I in
quires. "Contrast T
"'Something of that sort tonight'
says Vaucross. 'It grieves me, but I
sm forced to resort to eccentricity.'
And here be drops his napkin In his
soup and rises up and bows to a gent
who is devastating a potato under a
palm across the room.
" The police commissioner,' says my
climber, gratified. "Friend." ssys I In
. hnrrr "have ambitions, but don't

if she lost she was to get It anyhow,
There was a signed contract to that ef

"Sometimes they had me out with
'em, but not often. I couldn't keep up
to their style, she used to pull out
his notes and criticise them like bills
of lading.
" 'Say, you," she'd say, 'what do you
call this letter to a hardware mer
chant from his nephew on learning
that his aunt has nettlerash? You
eastern duffers know as much about
writing love letters as a Kansas grass
hopper does about tugboats. "My
dear Miss Blye!" Would that put

you expect to bold an audience In a

call me "Tweedlums Babe" and
"Honeysuckle" and sign yourself
"Mamma's Own Big Bad Puggy Wug
gy Boy" If you want any limelight
to concentrate upon your sparse gray
hairs. Get sappy."
"After that Vaucross dipped bis pen
in the Indelible tabasco. His notes
read like something or other In tbe
original. I could see a jury sitting
up and women tearing one another's
hats to hear 'em read. And I could
see piling up for Mr. Vaucross ss
much notoriousness as Archbishop
Cranmer or the Brooklyn bridge or
cheese on salad ever enjoyed. He
seemed mighty pleased at tbe pros
pects.
"They agreed on a night, and I stood
on Fifth avenue outside a solemn res
taurant slid watched 'em. A process
server walked In nod banded Vaucross
the paiiers at his table. Everybody
looked at 'em, and lie looked as proud
as Cicero. I went luu-k to my room
and lit a Ave cent clear, for I knew
tbe $10,000 was as good as ours. -.
"About two hours later somebody
knocked at my door. There stood
Vaucross and Miss Artemisia, and sbe
was clinging yes, sir, clinging to hi
arm. And they tells mo they'd been
out and got married. And they artic
ulated some trivial cadences sbout
love and such. And they laid down a
bundle on the table and aald "Good
night' and loft.
"And that's what I say," concluded
Ferguson Pogue, "that a woman Is toe
busy occupied wltb ber natural voca
tion and Instinct of graft such as is
aiven ber for self preservation and
amusement to make any great suc
cess In special lines."
"What was In tlie bundle that they

ROAD JD3AINAGL '
Necessity of Replacing Planh Culverts
With Proper Pipes.
Pennsylvania's state highway com
missioner elves tbe following advice
on tho question of road dralnaget
"Where water muat be diverted from
one elde to tbe other of a road It
abould be carried beneath tho surface
by means of pipes or culverts of ca
pacity adeqnate to carry the mail mom
amount of water which ever will
mand passage, Pipes of soluble ma
terial when properly laid coat little
or nothing to maintain beyond an oc
casional cleaning out Water breaks
require constant atteotlon and are fre
quently Inadequate to prevent tbe flood
water from overflowing down tho sur
face of the road They are also seri
ous obstacles to travel, increasing very
materially tbe steepness of the bills
where they, are osed and making m
essary tbe hauling of proportionately
smaller loads.
"In tbe majority of the townships ta
which any attempt Is made to carry
water across below instead of above
tbe road aurface it la done by maa
of plank culverts, usoslly constructed
in the most primitive manner, while
the largo water courses are spanned
by structures consisting In part If not
wholly, of wood. k In some Instances
stone baa been osed In a very com
mendable manner, but It la found that
many of tbe bridges, culverts and
drains which have been buUt of stone
hare been laid op In so Inefficient
manner, which baa led In a few years
to tbe necessity of expensive repairs.
For tbe smaller culverts sod drains in
which smoothness of Interior surface
Is desirable four kinds of pipe are
avallable-vltrifled clay, cast iron, cor
rugated Iroa and concrete. Tbe use of
wood for socb purpoecs Is to bo dis
couraged, and all existing plank cul
verts should bo replaced by some out
er material aa rapidly as practicable.

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.
Military Terms From the
Arable and the 8panieh.
In the early clave the rank of ad
miral wai unknown. The chief ofH
eer of a squadron was called a con
table or justice. The term ad
miral as now uptl is derived from
tho Arabic "amir," or "emir," a
commander (as in "auiir-albahr,'
commander of tho sou). The early
Engliih form was "aiuirnT and is
till preserved as such by '' the
French. The Spanish and Portu
guese terms are almirantey Hie
Italian "ammirnlio." The- title
captain is not a naval but s military
one. Under the older organization
the real captain of a ship was a
master, but s military officer was
placed on board, though he knew
nothing about nautical affair. As
the captain became bigger and big
ger the muter became smaller and
mailer until at the present day he
fills s subordinate position, which is
gradually becoming obsolete, being
replaced by an officer under tho title
of a naTirating lieutenant.
Commodore cornea from tho
Spanish "commchdador." The title
lieutenant, borrowed directly from
the Fronch, is more modern and is
meant as a place holder or one woo
took the place of the captain when
absent Sublieutenant is still more
modern and at the tamo time a mis
nomer, as he never was a inblieo
tenant, but merely a mats or one
who assisted. In former day we
had no cadets, but volunteer. How
ever, with the gradual advance of
politeness the more seemly term of
cadets was borrowed from tns
French and adopted as the title of
tho young gentlemen in our nary.
In place of paymaster the (hip
of old had pursers, who looked after
tho provisions. The naval purser
did more. He had charge of the
tores of tho ship and the money
chest; Surgeons and surgeons'
mates fulfilled tbe duties of the doc
tors. Chaplain ere of modern in
troduction. Naval instructor snd
schoolmasters ruled in their stead.
The term mats was rather s uni
venal one and applied to all
branches.

in au address recently delivered be
fore tbe Apimlnrhlan Engineering as
sociation at Wlnaton-rlalem. tt. (X, Dr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt president of tbe
Appalachian Good Beads association,
spoke ss foliws on the surfacing of
roaus:
"The question of surfacing material
for a road Is one tbst to causing road
builders considerable trouble, for with
tbe Introduction of the automobUe, the
wear and tear on our public
especially of the' surfaced 'roads, Is
very materially Increased. It Is not
due to the automobile alone, but to 'a
combination of tbe cutting action of
tbe narrow iron Ores of heavy wagons
and the suction of tbo rubber tires of
the automobiles. Tbo iroa tins baa a
cutting and grinding action which re
duces tbe surface of tho road to a
powder and loosens, up small frag
ments, ; which sm readily lifted up
and thrown to one aide by tbe suction
power of the rubber tire of tbo auto
mobile. The iron tire alone or tbo au
