Correct You Are. -

Under this head The cheeky Pro
gress publishes the following item
frsm the Hopkinsville Kentucklan ;
GAINESVILLE is happy. The census
department has consented to add the
population of South GAINESVILLE, the
territory lately anneXe d, to the city
proper. Loving Gaines besiegtd the
department with letters until he got
what ne was after. This, however, is
about the only increase in the popu
lation he is responsible for.
1t is a well known fact here with
the reading public and especially
with prominent business men that
the LEAF. CHRONICLE worked up the
whole matter, was first to discover
the error and first to ummunicate
with our representatives at Wash
ingtOn. 1t alsI enlisted Capt. Pat
Henry's services and was instru-
mental in getting a ell meeting OF
the city board 10 take action in the
matter. 1t was never in the mean
time mentioned by the Progress I'M
til proceedings instituted by this pa
per were We'll under way. The
Kentuckian may be eXcusable for
such mistake, but paper that will
deliberately appropriate such com
pliment under such circumstances, to
its own use, proclaiming it correct"
would steal its grand-mOther's night
cap for the brains it might contain.

KiIgore as a Jumper.

"When i was returning home
upon furloush during the latter
part of the war;" said Congressman
Buck Kilgorc, of Texas, 81 put up
ut little cabin on the roadside in
Louisiana about night. The sole
occupant OF the cabin was one wo
man. She refused to let me remain
during the night or to give me any
thing to eat. l had one gold dollar
in my pocket which | offered to pay
her for a chicken which had just
been cooked and was smoking on
the table. She refused to sell the
chicken at any price, but she was
willing to wager the chicken against
the dollar that she could beat me
jumping, to make the first jump,
starting from the log door step.
"I took survey of the very short
woman who had bantered me for a
trial of my activity, and then sur
veyed myself. l was long-legged
cuss, and put the dollar on the
table by the chicken. then took a
position on the doorstep, swung my
hands to and fro, pluming for my
flight through the air. Then l lit
out for the tallest jump on record.
By the time / hit the ground and
turned to see the woman follow she
had shut the door and fastened it
on the inside. The only thing
could see was the muzzle of doub-
le-barrelIed shotgun, supplemented
by firm female voice admoishing
me to move out, and to move quick
ly, l moved. There was something
about that voice and that gun which
inspired me with the idea that il
would be uhealthy for me to linger
there longer.

that night there wasn't bit of cleo

standing him on box, asked him
if he had anything to say.
'Not much. The banks busted.
There isn't drop Of water within
two miles and the electric plant has
shocked itself to death. In order

gest that you cut me up in little bits

Rnby in an Tncuhafor.

A Wee bit of a seven months baby,
weighing between three aud four
pounds. is at the Cincinnati Hospital
being raised in an incubator.
The wee thing, according to the
Enquirer, has no finger nails, its eye
lids are open, and every. hour a drop
or two OF digested milk is dropped
into its tiny mouth.
Chickens have had woolen rugs
for mothers, ducks have been hatch
ed by hens and aIligator's eggs
warmed to life in the sand, but incu-
batting babyhood into successful ex-
istence has at least the merit of now
city. Tho incubator looks like an
unpainted family ice-chest. 1t is
thirty inches high, twenty inches
wide and contains two compart-
ments, an upper and lower.
The inside of the chest is lined
with asbestos TO prevent the effect
of rssdiaiing heat as well as TO mako.
It air-tight. In the lower compart-
ment is a galvanized iron tank filed
with water. The tank does not fit
tightly into the chest, there being
an inch space for tho air to circulate.
Holes in the bottom allow the escape
OF foul air, while on shelf, resting
on Stats that divide the two COM
partments, lay basket containing
the baby. The skin of the tiny
thing is covered with an unctuous
secabeous matter. The bones of the
head do not set c oscly tegether and
the process of ossilication is slowly
going on.

"Judge jackson, in the United States
Court to- day, sentenced Tyse Luster
and Morrcll Green, boys about Is
years of age, to the Reform School
at Pruntytown, w. Va, for. one
year for selling whisky in violation
of law. They come from Mcdowell
and Wyoming counties. One of the
boys when questioned by the Judge
said that he never saw but one
school house and that he lived x
miles from that. He said he would
like an opportunity to go to school,
so he could learn to read and write,
and expressed great joy when his
sentence was pronounced, the Judge
telling him he would send him
where he could go TO school for at
least year. These are the first
persons sent to the Reform School
by the United States, the school
having only been designated by the
Attorney General of the United
States for yiolators of United States
laws under 16 years of age a few
