men with winning words and
lovely faces, but it is the way they

Miss Kate Callahan, of Covington, KY,
who has recently written her name upon
the top round of the ladder of pluck and
enterprise by selling two thousand five
hundred tickets recently for the benefit of
the Cathedral in this place, winning the
prize of gold watch and chain, which she
wears with as much pleasure as pride. She
sighted a legion of friends here by not
sending big lot of tickets down. This ac-
counts for the frequent visits of Will s.
Hays, of Louisville, to this city. Stay at
home, "Blinky.'
