Ksntuoky's Illustrious Men.
ESSAY by Miss TOLA BARNEs, TRENTON, Ky,
just come and look out OF the window Rose,
And take your first glance at our town,
And III show you all of the Trenton beauX,
From Mr.. Jim Chesnut down. !
There he stalks up the ElktOn lane,
With calm and majestic tread.
Mind! Twill give your eyes terrible strain,
To look from his heels to his head.
There's Henry Maynard. "Handsome" you sayS
Well you certainly agree with HIM,
DoN'T you wish you could 1x YOUR bangs that
wayS'
All! he looks neat, sweet, slim and trim.
That's samme Steger just over the way,
He's awfully lovely know you'll say;
But Rosie, Ihave one request to make:
fyOu don't want his poor little heart to break
Don't fall In love with Sam, pray,
Liz conscience is heavy now for the sake
OF the hearts he smashcs every day,
Pm afraid If you fall in love with him too
| He'll attempt some desperate penance TO do.
There's Hat McChesney, Pm afraid of him,
He always looks so horribly grim,
He never looks ut us poor girls,
At the brightest eyes, or the longest curls,
He lives on lemons III bet this glove,
! Or else the poor fellow'sbeen crossed in love.
Yes that was Bud Byars who just now passed.
| Opslaw! | wanted to save him till the last
For the rest, poor men! will seem ugly as mud,
Since you've had the pleasure of gazing ON
Bud,
He's the beauty and pride of this little place,
think he should have nice glass case,
To keep the dust from his handsome face,
But perhaps you'll prefer boy with light hair,
An right! can suit you to 4.
We have them in all styles, dark or fair,
Aud plea OIL you are certainly bound tohc,
with Cole Dickinson over there,
IT, you don't think he's handsome you mnst bD
blind,
He's a lovely specimen or HIS KIND.
You think he's handsomerS
Well differ from you,
Pm Just little bit inclined to think Bud the
handsomcr Of the two.
Ail that is John Dickinson, CJlic's brother,
A splendid fellow altogether,
II YOU don't think les nice you've lost your
lRol,
We're all schcming for lals o. drives this sea-
| son,
And to get on the good side Of John, my dear,
For hes more nice turnOuts than any fellow
here.
That boy who looks rs II he were mad,
Is viii Chilcs, an intcGotQal lal,
Who goes to college Ave months session.
Ana makes such exceedingly rapid progrcs.
sion,
That the next 1--WE months they have to make
him
Stay at home and let his class overtake him.
lie has cousin, Henry, whom wish you could
see,
But don't know where the chap can be,
lie heard that his girl was to wed another,
And ~ he's concluded that he'd get further,
And he's gone TO lodge free from human in-
ir sion,
In some wilderness vast and In IFS seclusion.
lie mourns from the depths OF his heart bereit;
"Ah! woe Is me! You bet I'm left"
And that fellow yondcr Is Jimmie Center,
lie used to he 50 nice vt since last winter,
His smile has lost somethngo of Its grace,
lie wears sad look on his handsome face,
His manner Is not near 80 brisk OF yore,
Andhc's ALMOST forgotten to FRIsK any more
But that habit hasn't quite forsaken him,
For Jim without frisking would cease to be
Jim.
There's our champion jumper, Lee Guynn is
his name,
Our sweet little Lee Of gymnastical fame,
know OF one thing that jumped higher than
Lee,
Aud that is the horrible, high leaping flea,
There's the COW that jumped over the moon it is
true,
But never could believe that story, could
youg
There is Mr.. HOrd. lie has cut all OF us,
And don't see why 1t should be thus,
Why should he let Us waste our art,
In trying to reach his hardened heart?
Because one girl marries Is no reason why,
He should leave all the rest to pine and sigh,
can't see why he don't like the girls, can your
think it's just too mean yes, | do.

Mr.. Moore there is of different turn OF mind,
For he is very much Inclined
When he succumbs to girls destinations,
To admire all Of her relations,
But that'smost rs bad for us as before.
For unless you're Dickinson you will not
please Mr.. Moore,
He thinks that family the incest and best,
There's ONR member OF course he likes more
than the rest
Aniif he doesn't make her his bride,
He'll be quite certain to commit SUE -icide!
That chap holding the cane with the ivory han :
die,
Is nice little boy by the name OF George
Randlc,
Hes pleasant and nice and all that 1t is true,
But have piece OF advice for you,
Dbn't ever 90 with him to drive,
He'll turn you over II you do,
Into piano-box. sure's you're alive!
'T'is trait OF his, can prove II to).'
