The editor of the Cave City Her
aid INDUCES in some moralizing
which farmers would do well to
heed:
"One of the most fearful sins OF
which KeHtuckians are guilty isthe
manner in which they abuse their
lands. God gave this earth to man
for an abode-a home-to keep and
to dress, and it is wrong to aboue it.
1t is the mother of us all ; out of it
we receive our subsistence-our liv-
ing-and it is not right to abuse It.
Every farmer should make it a
point to mend every rent that starts
on his farm. 1t a wash or break is
seen he should put his whole work.
ing force upon it until it is mended,
rust as he would seek q remedy for
a broken hand or foot. Other gen.
erations are to succeed us who will
be as much dependent upon the
earth as we are, and we owe it to
them, to ourselves and to God to
leave it in as good condition ct least
as we found it."

The following is sample of a
Friday afternoon composition which
Adam Biglier wrote when boy at
school, We may add that Adam
Biglier was soundly thrashed Tor it :;
"a school ma'sm is verb because

nect the verb school na'am to the
noun boy. This is compound

The vice Presldent,s Bar.

Does Vice President Morton run q bar in
connection with his new apartment house
ia Washington The other day, through
his private secretary, in q letter TO a
clergyman who had made inquiry upon the
subject, he said that he did not. That was
as far as his denial went He did not say
that liquor could not be bought at his
house by parties other than the guests. He
did not say that be was not running
saloon for people who were able to pay
fancy prices for whisky and beer, but he
left it 10 be inferred that intoxicants we're
not sold in his house. A special 10 the
MORNING NEWS day or two ago stated
that Senator Blackburn, Of Kentucky, went
into Mr. Morton's house, called for drink
Of whisky, got 1t, paid for it, and tele-
graphed the facts 10 a western newspaper.
Senator Blackburn was not a guest Of the
house.
Previous to this Mr.. George Baber, of
kentucky, had written a letter 10 the ST.
Louis Republic. In which he stated that he
was guest Of Mr.. Morton's house, and in
which he indignantly denied that there was
a saloon or bar in the house, or any place
for one. He said that the guests we're fur
nished with wines at the table upon order,
ut chat the published reports about the
bmatter were shameful Misrepresentation.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Republic went TO the house and ordered a
drink Of whisky, which was furnished him,
and which he paid for. There was no bar
there, he said, 50 far az the public display
Of the Appurtenances Of one was concerned.
