GooD ADVICE TO READERS. you
measure the value of study by the in,
sight you get into subjects, not by the
power of saying you have read many books
YOU will perceive :hat no time is so badly
saved, as that which is saved in getting
through book in hurry. For if to The
time you have given you had added n lit
tie more, the subject would have been fixed
on your mind, and the whole time profit
ably employed whereas, upon your pre-
sent arrangement, because you would not
give little more you have lost all. Be
sides, this is overlooked by rnpid and
superficial readers that the best way Of
reading books with rapidity is to acquire
that habit of severe attention to what
they contain, that perpetually confines the
mind to the sing le object it has in view.
When you have read enough to have nc
auired the habit Of reading without suf-
fering your mind to wander, and when
YOU can bring to bear upon your subject n

HORACE GREELEY's ESTATE Horace
Greeley's estate seems full of surprises.
Such property as he thought valuable has,
thus far, proved valueless, while that
which he had mentally charged off to
profit and loss, having no expectation Of
getiinga II penny from it, has come out
handsomely. Only few months ago,
Cornelius j. Vanderbilt, TO whom Mr..
Greeley had lent thousands of dollars
without any security beyond his word,
paid every dollar of the debt, with inter>
had he been alive, more than anybody
else in the community. Now another
windlall, it is understood, has come, or is
about to come, to the heirs of the late ed
itor of the Tribune. Some years before
his death he had been induced, very inju
diciously, it was then believed, to buy II
tract of wild land in West Virginia, for
which he paid 81, 600 or Sl2 600, or more,
and which he subsequently decided to be
now said that the land has so improved
of late that Mr.. Greeey's daughters have
just been offered $40, 900 for it, and that
they may get much more. Meanwhile,
the Tribune share, which Mr.. Greeley
left to his children, and which he consid
cred almost the only productive part of
his estate-and very justly, for he haG
for years derived steady income from
them-are without any available worth,
not having paid cent of dividend for
nearly eight years. One of the Tribune
chiefs favoritc phrases was, 1t is al.
ways the improbable that happens" If
he could be conscious of his present iinan.
cal affairs, he would think that only the
impossible is certain. He would be more
astonished than he was when political
hummer walked one day into his private
oifice-so called because the entire public
had access to it-and handed him $40,
which he had borrowed from the journal
ist ten years before. You don't mean
it," said Greeley. "You must have mis-.
taken your man" " No, | haven't
You lent mo the money, and | promis-
ed solemnly that | would return i'."-
"Thors the queerness Of it,' retorted the
journalist. "The idea Of man paying
money because he had solemnly prom,s-
ed to. If you had told me you wouldn't
pay it, might have expected it. But Ive
been lending people money who have
solemnly promised to retnrn it for twenty
years, and you are the first man who has
ever disappointed me by keeping hi,

THE PREsS.

The people nro hearing much lntely In
adverse criticism, we might say denuncia>
ton, Of the press. 1t Is said tho press
panders to the lower instincts Of human
.ty, that 1t ministers to tho healthy cray
ings for sensation; that it docs little To
enable or elevate; that It il goddess, en-.
couraging skepucism and mocking ut
holy thirgs.
ThN. much Of this is true Is useless TO
deny. Many newspapers now in the
minds Of our reodcrs are subject to every
count in the indictment which we have
repeated. That such ncWSpapers are
dbte 10 hve and II uriSh is disgrace
not only to themselves bn to the society
o(He presentdaV.
But to lay tho blame Of the evil upon
tho newspapers alone Is to blame u result
instead ofa cause. Although newspapers
have, without doubt, some power in in
fluencing the public mind, it is yet true
thnt in the main they are tho simple re-
Electors Of public sentiment. No news
paper can live md flourish which does
not stliko II congenal eord in tho hearts
of many readers. Irit lives and flourish
es, 1t Is only evidence that II has u circle
Of readers who sympathize with its opin-
ions. A newspaper only becomes power.
ful or important when it reflects the opin,
ions, or agrees with the taste OF large
number OF subsoribers. It's degree of
importance and power depends upon tho
number OF persons in sympathy with It's
views.
If we see that newspaper Of depraved
character grows fat from It's deprayity,
the most important conclusion derivable
from the fact Is that there is n sufficient
number Of sufficiently depraved tastes to
make It fat
II. on the other hand, we see journals
ofa highly moral or religious character
dwin1les, peak and pine, We can only
suppose, ut tho least, that they do rot
present their character in way which
makes It popular.
A great trouble in the criticisms of
newspapers seems 10 be that critics look
upon them as the masters and moulders
Of public opinions, when In truth they
are little moro than its reflectors. News.
papers OF every character are made 10
order to suit the public demand relig-
ious, literary, moral, immortal, senti-
mental, etc. We think ourselves, that
the newspapers of the better class predom-
inate, but il they do not il is only because
the better class Of people do not predom-
mate; for newspapers of any character
viii arise whenever there Is demand for
them, But we should just as soon think
Of quarreling with thermometer becaisa
it told us the Weather was cold, as to hold
newspapers responsible for whatever pop
uiar depriyty they represent Patiejo

DANGER IN WELL WATER.-It will
probably take the popular mind some
time to understand that the one great
danger of poisoning, over-topplng ali
others in settled community, comes
from the use of well water. No we'll
water in city the size Of Springfield,
for instance, is safe for ordinary use.
1t is always liable to be contaminated
with sewage, however tasteless and
sparkling it may be, and in general is
polluted from lillntion from drains. nhd
sewers. The last case illustrating this
has come to light in Rochester, n, Y,
and shows the danger OF using we'll
water precisely as a like case in Oxford,
Eng, did n generation ago. Last Sum
mer over 40 persons in Rochester, us
ing drinking water drawn from cer-
tain well, were taken sick with typhoid
fever and kindred diseases. The well
was closed and the recovery Of the pa
tients were rapid, coupled with geDer,
al improvement Of the neightorhood.
An inqriry followed INTO all the cases
of typhoid fever in tho city. Over fifty
we're reported and all but two had fol-
lowed the use of well water. An ex-
animation of the wells from which the
water was used showed that many Of
then averaged less than thirty feet from
the source Of contamination. The same
thing is true of wells in Springfield,
end slight observation is needed here to
discover wells whose water, used daily
BY one or more families, unquestionably
bears the seeds of disease and death -

Kentucky's Centennial.

The celebration Of the one hundre 9TH
anniversary of the settlement of Licking
ton. Kentucky, took place in that city on
the I'd inst. from a long communication
published in the Cincinnati Commercial
suggested by this centennial celebration,
we extract the following:
CATER the war of 1872, Kentucky suf-
fered greatly through financial depression.
Universal bankruptcy stared everybody in
the face, and the clau.ol for relief became
irresistible Stay and replevin laws were
passed. and bank, called the Bank of the
Common wealth, was chartered, with pow
er to ISSUE money without promise of re-
demptlon, but receivab lie fol- taxes and in
dorsed by the State, Creditors no would
not receive such issue We're compelled to
accept replevy for ten years. The courts
decided the rapleyy ard stay laws uncon-
stitutional. The legi stature repealed the
law organizin; the A ppelate Court, and
organized another court. The old court
decided the act unconstitutional and the
new court uSurpefs.
The executive and legislature were to-
gether for relief and new court; the judic-
larry opposed. The State was almost in a
state of civil war In no part of Kentucky
Was the excitement greater or the bitter
ness more intense than in Central Ken
lucky. The contest continued from 1878
to 1928, and resulted in the final and ov er-
whelming triumph Of the Anti-re!ief and
Old Court party.
On one occasion at an election for the
legislature in 1925, the two parties came
into collision in Lexington. A blow was
struck and riot ensued. It was terri
flying spectacle. The pavements were torn
up and the bricks used as missiles:
During this heated period Mr.. Wickliffe
celeDral ed his election to the Senate by
giving "a free treat in an open lot. Hogs
heads were sawn in half and the halves
filled with strong whiskey punch. Every
body was lvited. and it was estimated
that 600 men drank of the punch. Some
political enemy put enough tartar emetic
in the punch to make all who drank sick
Nearly all Lexington and Faystte county
spent that night in vomiting, and Nv lex
liffe's treat" has never been forgotten and
Was the last free treat" in Central Ken
lucky. The emetlc exposed several preach
ers, not a few elders, and even some wo-
men.
