The KENTucKIAN has no harsh words
for its good friends, the Wheelers. 1t
has no warfare to make upon the
many tIua and patriotic men who
make up the membership of the Union.
There are, however, a few chronic agi-
tators and one-horse politicians, some
of them in this county, who need
first-c class skinning and if they persist
in their efforts to make this worthy
order a plant tool OF the Republican
party, we may find it necessary to
show them up in their true colors.

EXERCISE FOR BOYS.
A Well-Equipped Athletic Field Wanted
in Every village.

"A EuulDDeu htnlttiC "dutcu
in Every village.
A well-equipped athletic field, with
room for football, baseball, a running
track, and, in short, a complete athletic
outfit, in every village in America hav-
ing a population of from 10000 down to
800, would do more to promote good
health, good heads and good morals
than--but l am at loss for a com.
parison. The good to be done seems in
estimable. And if all this is too much,
let some good man in each of these vii
lagos give the boys five, or four, or
three, or even two acres of land, even
though it was worth 500 per acre, for
village playground. Boys and young
men naturally love play, outdoor
sports of every kind, and under little
healthy stimulus and careful direction
this natural taste can be developed and
strengthened.
Noboy is going to sit around saloon
Of any sort when by going few steps
he can witness first-class game of base"
ball, or, what is better still, can take
part in one. Boys are not constructed
that way. Notice in the cities how all
sorts Of boys, and young men, too, are
eager to witness game OF ball; how
much more eager to play it. Iwould
not say that the ordinary professional
game of ball is the best thing for a boy
to attend, but it is not the game that is
at fault Fortunately there is no pro-
fessional football as yet. Moreover, if
you provide the opportunity for one or
two hours hard physical exercises in the
afternoon, you need not worry about the
evening There is no safeguard quite so
good against nocturnal deviations as a
good, healthy, all-around tiredness.
Why is not that which is good for our
college boys good for all our boys? Why
is not that which is good for boys in
large towns good for boys in small
towns? Why has not the boy of the
country villages just as good right to
the opportunity to distinguish himself
in the great games of the nation as any
boy whatsoever? Are we going too far
to encourage athletics? Let us answer
the question by asking whether we can
go too far to encourage health? Do we
shudder at the possible danger of be.
coming nation of athletes? The
Greeks in all their glory were that, and
their athletes were not trained alone in
academic halls and city gymnasiums.-

EARLY STEEL PENS.
The Poet Wordsworth Makes the Firs
Mention of Them.

The Poet Wordsworth Makes the First
Mention of Them.
The earliest notice of steel pens that
| have met with is by Wordsworth. In
1906 he and his family were occupying
the house at Colerton during the alb
sence of Sir George and Lady Beaumont,
and in the month of December the poet
wrote to the latter what he calls 1.-The
longest letter | ever wrote in my life."

pages. He begins: my Dear Lady Beau.

shall not be able to keep it up to the
end in this style, Notwithstanding have
the advantage of writing with ons Of
your steel pens, with which Miss Hutch
inson has just furnished me-"
The next meetion that | have noted
is by DR.. kitchiner. in 1924. When
speaking of g friend above sixty he
says: This strain of the eye and occa.
sion for spectacles of high magnifying
power is particularly found in mending
pens, so that he has a sufficient number
of pens to prevent the necessity Of
mending any of them until he has fin
ished writing
To this there is appended note: ITO
those who find the nending of pens
rather difficult job l recommend the
occasional use of steel pen. especially
when they wish to write very small and
neatly" The steel pen seems to have
been still rarity at that time, and my
own school-boy experience tends 10 shsw
that it was. From about 1924 to 1884 ]
do not remember the use of steel pens
in school, and in the earlier years, 1926
to 1880, have distinct recollection Of
our using quills.-Netes and Queries

How NV BOY went Down.

Ii was not on the field of battle,
1t was not with a ship at sea.
But a fate far worse than either
That stole him away from me.
Twas the death in the ruby wine cup,
That the reason and senses drown;
lie drank the allufing poison,
Ana thus, my boy went down.
Down from the heights of manhood
To the depths of disgrace and sin:
Down to Il worthless being,
From the hopes of what might have been.
For the brlnd of a beast besotted,
He bartered his m~anhood'sc crown;
Through the gates of n sinful pleasure
My poor, weak boy, went down.
IT'S only the same old story,
That mothers so often tell
With accents of infinite sadness,
Like the tones ola funeral bell.
But l never once thought when l heard 1t
/ should learn all its meaning myself;
l thought he'd be true to his mother;
/ thought he'd be true to himself.
But alas for my hopes; all delusion.
Alas for his youthful pride,
Alas! who are safe, when danger
Is open on every side?
Oh! can nothing destroy this great evil?
No bar in their pathway be thrown,
To save, from the terrible maelstrom,
The thousands of hopes going down?

rhc Amendment Fails to Pass.

When Senator Pfeiffer's bill TO exempt
from the provision of the Borough Organi-
cation act all ~boroughs organized under
the law of 1878 came up on final passage
in the Senate at Trenton on Monday night,
Senator Roe prom pity moved to Indefinite
ly postpone. Senator Pfeiffer opposed and
Senator Gardner favored the motion. He
said the government Of various seaside re-
sorts in South Jersey had been recently up
set by a decision of the State Courts de-
claring the act under which they organized
as unconstitutional, because special, and
to remedy the difficulty a new act was
passed by the present Legislature. which
was general in its provisions. Now comes
Senator Pfeiffer's bill to exclude from the
scope of the new Law a certain class of bor-
ougIis, namely, those organized under the
law of 1873. In Senator Gardeners opinion
the effect would be to make the new law
courts, the same as its predecessor. lie
thought the Legislature ought not to
expose the South Jersey borouehs to a
second embarrassment of this character.
Senator Pfeiner, in reply. said the borough
for whom his bill spoke did not desire to
reorganize. They wanted to be let alone.
The motion to indefinitely postpone pre-
vailed, 10 to 0. The bill was int, nded to
apply especially to Woodstown.
Subsequently Senator PfeifTer moved TO
reconsider, aud made warm speech, in
which he charged that the Republicans in
caucus had made a set against his bill, and.
further, that certain Senators had ignored
their word of honor given to him when the
bill passed some sine age, was before the
Legislature. lie had given it his support,
with the understanding that Senator Lean
ing, of Cape May, would assist in passing
a supplement, if the bill affected other
than seaside resorts. Senator Pfeiffer's
motion was tabled on Senator Roe's mo-
ton, II to g..

The Camden Courier of Tuesday, in
speaking of the scene in the Senate cham
Der at Trenton on Monday night, when the
amendment to the new borough charter
was up for passage, says:
A little breeze was created in the Senate
over Senator Pfeiffer's bill to exempt
Woodstown, Salem county, from the pro-
visions of the borough act, passed at the
present session. When the bill was before
the Senate originally, a big delegation
from Cape May county came up to secure
an amendment, placing the liquor licensing
power in the borough councils. This was
in the interest of Sea Isle, Avalon, West
Cape May and other sea side resorts. who
because of that anomaly, a Democratic
temperance Judge. Diverty, since deceased,
there wore no licenses obtainable in Cape
May county, excepting in Cape May City.
The amendment obtained and the seaside
resorts were happy; not so, however, a GER
tain boniface in Woodstown, who, having
the Salem county judges solid, had for
some time enjoyed a monopoly OF the tav-
ern business in that Quaker village. which,
under a borough organization, to be voted
for on May Is, would undoubtedly decide
in favor of no license, hence the move to
exempt Woodstown being only in the in
terest of one tavern, which a majority OF
the voters were evidently against, was not
deemed a public benefit and was defeated
by a vote of II to 0, and again rum and
Democracy coalesced, but this time I'M

ment which they have neglected, and Miss
Jenness docs not seem to lay due stress on
them. Very few of them carry themselves
with real grace, and fewer still walk grace
fully. They stumble along as if impeded
by ill-ftting shoes. They cultivate every
other faculty and capacity, but they leave
their speech unframed. They have not
beautiful voices. A sweet voice, clear,
soft, distinct, well modnlated, %melodious,
from the chest and not the head, nov rare
it is among American women! How rare,
too, is it to hear a really correct pronun-
citation; a voice as agreeable to the ear as
that of Miss Edwards or Mrs. Kendall, and
a pronunciation as pure and cultivated.
But the accomplishment is attainable.
1t is necessary only that children should
be taught to speak properly, hat their
voices and their language should be trained
with something of the care and attention
bestowed OF teaching them to play on the
piano or conduct themselves gracefully in
dancing. The teachers of elocution as ap-
piled to oratory are usually humbugs, but
teachers of the art of using the voice, actu-
ally acquainted with the scientific methods
of training the speech, are a prime neces-
sity. 1t Is possible to get rid of the dis
cords we hear SO frequently; the f~latness,
the shrillness, the in~distinctness, the nasal
quality. the false modulstion, the distress
ing emphasis.

tention of everybody.-N. Y. Sun.
