WAYNE COUNTY IS PRAISED FOR GOOD ROAD WORK Mrs. Caleb S. Denny, Pioneer in Old Trails Effort, Tells of Progress. . By MRS. CALEB S. DENNY (In the Indianapolis Star) The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution was one of the first potent forces to advocate a complete restoration of the old trails across the continent. As a member of the society, I was early appointed by the state and national organizations to take part in the Indiana branch of the work. At first we tried to insure the markin? of the National road from the Ohio to the Illinois line. We later endeavored to have the north and south feeder lines to the National road marked. A number of old trails running from the southern part of the Btate were marked In a few counties, and my committee succeeded in securing an agitation of the question of improving all of these branch trails as permanent state and county roads. Mrs. Eliza Tarkington Brigham of this city accompanied me to a number of counties in the work of presenting the 'matter to public officials and chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. But our main efforts were directed toward the marking and restoration of the main artery the old National road, passing. through Richmond, Cambridge City, Greenield, In

dianapolis, Bridgeport, Brazil and Terre Haute. I visited all these cities, as well as numerous smaller Intervening towns, and presented the matter of marking, restoration and permanent Improvement of the grand old highway, to the people. I met with considerable encouragement from the officials at Richmond, Brazil and a few other points. Progress of Work Public meetings were held in Wayne and Clay counties, and the work of improvement proceeded at a few points along the line. At Brazil, men.

women and school children turned out

Home furnishing teams, and consider-

ble work was done on the road

through Clay county. Of course this

was not improvement of a permanent character, but was a forerunner of what we now see coming, as evidenced by the section of splendid concrete work just completed, east of Indianapolis. We should all rejoice with and give full credit to our Marion county commissioners for the lead they have taken in commencing this great work of providing an ocean to ocean highway. Not a little credit is due to Mrs.

Haul Comstock of Richmond, and Miss Alice Warren of Terre Haute, for the work they did in creating sentiment in favor of getting the kind of restoration of the road that has now been commenced in Marion county. The., members .of the. Indianapolis chapters of our society did the work of designating the road as a part of the Old Trails line of early-day communication across the continent, one taking the east section and the other the west. The Cornelia Fairbanks Chapter placed a beautiful permanent marker East Washington street at the mouth of the Madison and Brookville road, and the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter one on West Washington street, in the State House yard, in the form of a fountain, with appropriate inscriptions, commemorating the Old Trail, of which Washington street formed a part. Source of Inspiration Our society got much inspiration from Judge Lowe of Kansas City, who headed the National Old Trails Road Association from the start. He frequently visited Indianapolis. We met and collaborated with his association

and with the Indiana Good Roads Association. I had the pleasure of addressing conventions of these associations on several occasions, speaking as n representative of the daughters of the national and state societies of the D. A. R. While the stencil markers on the telegraph poles, much of which the women did with their own hands, have faded, they nevertheless feel amply repaid for their labor, in contemplating that this largely sentimental work they did, by way of education and agitation, is now bearing fruit of a more substantial character. Many members of our society some of them farmers' wives along the line of the

"It may be that vengeance against me would seem sweeter to you than return to four former allegiance. In that case, Princess, you only need betray me to the mullah, and be sure my death would leave nothing to be desired by the spectators. At present he does not suspect me., "Be assured, however, that not to betray me to him is to leave me free to serve my government and well able to do so. "I invite you to return to India with me, bearing news that the mullah Muhammad Anim and his men are bottled in Khinjan Caves, and to plan with me to that end.

"If you will, then write an answer to Muhammad Anim, not in Urdu, but in a language he can understand; seem to surrender to him. But to me send a verbal message, either by the bearer of this or by some trustier messenger. "India can profit yet by your service if you will. And in that case I pledge my word to direct the government's attention 'only to your good service in the matter. It is not yet too late to choose. It Is not impertinent in me to urge you. "Nor can I say how gladly I would subscribe myself your grateful and loyal servant." The mullah pounced on the finished letter, pretended to read it, and watched him seal it up, smudging the hot wax with his own great gnarled thumb. Then he shouted for the Orakzai Pathan, who came striding in, all grins

and swagger. "There take it! Make speed!" he ordered, and with his rifle at the "ready" and the letter tucked Inside his shirt, the Pathan favored King with a farewell grin and obeyed. "Get out!" the mullah snarled then immediately. "See to the sick. Tell them I sent thee. Bid them be grateful!" King went. He recognized the almost madness that constituted the mullah's driving power. It is contagi

ous, that madness, until it destroys itself. It had made several thousand men follow him and believe in him, but it had once given YasminI a chance to fool him and defeat him, and now it gave King his chance. He let the mullah think himself obeyed implicitly. He became the busiest man in all the Hills. While the mullah glowered over the camp from the cave mouth or fulminated from the Quran or fought with other mullahs with words for wreapons and abuse for argument, he bandaged and lanced and poulticed and physicked until his head swam with weariness. The sick swarmed so around him

that he had to have a body-guard to keep them at bay; so he chose twenty of the least sick from among those who had talked with him after sunrise. And because each of those men

had friends, and it is only human to'

wish one's friends In the same boat, especially when the sea, so to speak, is rough, the progress through the camp became a current of missionary zeal and the virtues of the Anglo-In

famous old road, used their butter, eggs and pin money to help pay the cost of placing the markings along the line, which was done in the patriotic colors of red, white and blue, with "National Old Trails Road" plainly inscribed in letters which attracted the attention of everyone. Agitation, even if largely backed by sentiment, sometimes shows itself in good results. May the Daughters of the American

Revolution not justly claim some de- j

gree of credit for the start that has now been made, looking to the final restoration of the old trails, that enabled our ancestors to find their way from ocean to ocean in the olden time? We hope that we will not be considered egotistical in claiming a meed of praise for results now beginning to appear. All praise for Marion county's board of commissioners. I hope the people may show their appreciation at the dedication ceremonies.

MR. WILLIAM GILBERT

Duffy's Pure Walt Whiskey is a food tonic in liquid form which may easily be assimilated by the enfeebled digestive organs. Results from the judicious use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are notably good in the case of elderly people where it is desired to build up the strength, to stimulate the bodily functions and to improve the circulation of the blood. It is a life-sustaining agent in cases of emergency which no family medicine chest should be without.

dian raj were better spoken of than the Hills had heard for years. Not that there was any effort made to convert the camp en masse. Par from It. But the likely few were pounced on and were told of a chance to enlist for a bounty in India. And what with winter not so far ahead, and what with experience of former fighting against the British army, the choosing was none so difficult. From the day when the lad first feels soft down upon his face until the old man's beard turns white and his teeth shake out, the Hlllman would rather fight than eat; but he prefers to fight on the winning side if he may, and he

likes good treatment. Before it was dark that night there were thirty men sworn to hold their tongues and to wait for the word to hurry down the Khyber for the purpose of enlisting in some British-Indian regiment. Some even began to urge the hakim not to wait for the Orakzai Pathan, but to start with what he had. "Shall I leave my brother In the lurch?" the hakim asked them; and though they murmured, they thought better of him for it. Well for him that he had plenty of Epsom salts in his kit, for in the Hills physic should taste evil and show very quick results to be believed in. He found a dozen diseases of which he did not so much as know the name, but half of the sufferers swore they were cured after the first dose. They would have dubbed him faquir and have foisted him to a pillar of holiness had he cared to let them. Muhammad Anim slept most of the day, like a great animal that scorns to live by rule. But at evening. he

came to the cave mouth and fulminated such a sermon as eet the whole camp to roaring. He showed his power then. The jihad he preached would have tempted dead men from their graves to come and share the plunder, and the curses he called down on cowards and laggards and unbelievers were enough to have frightened the dead away again.
