Johnston delivered his lec ture, "Crepe on the Bar Boom Door," In the opera house yesterday afternoon to a packed house, and In the evening preached his ; farewell sermon to the Christian church at this plaoi, of which he has been pastor four years.'; His Ico tare in the afternoon was a fitting cli max to his work In this community, for during that time he has been an ardent advocate for temperance. . The lectujv was a strong argument against the 'evils of Intoxicants and is bound to be of good effect to tbe moral sentiment of this com munity. t , ' , -" Mr, Johnston Is not a Nonentity.

' Its farm ers are mainly engaged In raising truck for the millions of people ' living lu those two cities. To do this thousands of them drive fo each city daily with, a load of truck, starting In tbe morning anywhere from 12 to 4 o'clock to get to tbe markets early enough for the huck sters. , . , "Jersey mud," a clay loam, is pro verbial for its stickiness and disagree able nature to travel through when wet, says tbe Putnam (Conn.) Patriot Tbe Jersey farmer knows tbe value of a dollar and is opposed to taxes, but be could reckon tbe difference between what he lost dally by reason of bad roads and tbe tax be would have to pay for building a smooth rock road. That having been worked out, one good road was built, and those near It got to market regularly and easily, rain or shlno, saving enough each trip to- pay the road tax. "Seeing Is believing,'? and farmers In other parts became con vinced of their economy, and the exam. pie was followed, slowly at first; but gradually going on more rapidly. . Last year -100. miles of new roads were built In that state at a cost of about 1500,000. This year the demand for them Is so great that the state will. the coming year, venture to put $1,000, 000 Into 200 miles of macadam. The state Commissioner of public roads de clares : that this movement has in creased the taxable ' property of the state by $27,000,000.

It "Is said that xwhen ; the bandit was sick In the Minnesota , penitentiary a daughter of one of tbe deputy . wardens prepared delicacies ; for him. . Jim fell In love with her and . when be ' was" pardoned secured ber consent to marry ' blm. ' Her parents at first objected,' but finally 'yielded.'' When Jim went to get a license, how-; ever the offictal to whom he applied ' told' him that In the eyes of the. Ia w he was a dead man and that he could ; not Issue a license to a corpse. Jim in- ' vestlgated and found, it is said, that -the official's construction of1 the laws of Minnesota was correct He can be ; legally restored to life only tiy a par don, and past experience teaches him this Is a very difficult thing to got It looks therefore as though he and his- ; sweetheart will have to forego the felicities of matrimony. A southern Missouri paper inquires what would be done with a man who should kill Toungeri ' "In the eyes of the law he Is dead," It reasons. "It would be ab surd to try to man for killing another t man who was already dead." . Perhaps ; the . murderer would be technically a ghoul and would tbe prosecuted for ' grave robbery. The fine logic of the law leads to strange conclusions some times, Kansas City Journal. , He Dlda't EaJor the Meal. ' Representative , Williams of Missis sippi tells an amusing story of tbe first , time he ever saw a white domestic servant' He relates: "I was just out of ; the University, of Virginia aud was go- Inir nnrth m m v orav in TCiirrtne. Th train stopped twenty minutes for re freshments at Centralia, 111. Down to ward tbe end of the table In tbe dining -room I saw a vacant chair and was about to seat myself when I saw a comely "young woman -standing close by.

I was about to take that when I noticed another young woman standing beside me. Again I bowed and requested that she be seated, remarking that I was not very hungry and could wait. By this time I realized that I was attract ing some attention, but I could not ac count for it and wondered jf the boor-. lh crowd were laughing at my man-' ners. Just then a big Hoosier caught hold of my conttatls aud said, 'Say, buddii. where do you come from any wuy?' I was beginning to get a bit an gry and, replied rather sharply that I was from Mississippi. 'I thought so,' be said. 'Now sit down and eat The ' girl is a waitress and is standing there to serve you.' I sat down, but I was so much astonished and embarrassed that I did not enjoy tho meal." . Captala Clark's Fralt Story. Captain Charles Clark Is a Vermont- er by birth, but baa spent so much of bis time, in the west that he tells more stories of that part of the country than of bis own. One of these .has to do with tbe prevailing Ignorance of easterners of tbe price commanded by California fruits In the markets, of San Francisco. ; Tho Impression of tbe man from New York or Philadelphia seems to be that fruit must necessarily he very cheap on the Pacific coast where as the fact is that it sells nearly as high there as in the east , , . 'I found that out before I bad been In .the western capital a day,", says the captain. - "My .second and not needed lesson came the next morning. Just as I reached the fruit stand opposite the hotel, a lady, who was from the east from ber accent and who was a woman of means and. refinement to judge from her dress and bearing, 1 stepped up to the proprietor and said: 1 want S cents' worth of mixed fruit please.
