Says Lexington Oagi,t to Have
70 City Ticket.
BUFFALO, KY, Nov. 80, '9l.

Charles &. Moore, Esq.
DEAR SlR-My former sub
scription to the Blade expire
about the time you temporarily
suspended its publication. En-
closed you will Please find fifty
cents to pay for it, at poverty
rates, six months from October 81
l enjoy the Blade very much
though sometimes wish you
would give us more Prohibition
and ham0r, and less rationallsm.
Also wish you would print the
National Committee plate matter
while it is new aud not wait until
it is several months old and much
of it cut Of date
Why don't the ProhIbitionists
of Lexington nominate full
ticket for the coming city election
and then work like fury tor its
election. Have some good
speeches made. If the ticket
should not be elected, the vote of
last August would almost GER
tainly be increased which would
be the next best thing. Surely a
ticket superior to that gotten up
by the Democrats could be Sc
lected from among sixty-two
PrOhibs.
To use a little slang, for which
beg .'our pardon, how in the
dickens can you Lexington Pro
libitionists expect the voters to
lefeat The old party tickets unless
you nominate a better one!
Sincerely yours,
ID. j. THOMAS.

A Little California Girl Who Gets Along
without Arms.

A Little California Girl Who Gets Along
without Arms.
Little Maryan Marcena Is the daugh-
ter Of a tinsmith who lives at Saucelito,
Cal. She has seven brothers and sis
ters, has this strange little girl -Four
brothers and three sisters; so she IS
never lonely. The older children go to
school, but there is always baby to
keep her company. She never goes TO
school herself, though she is nearly
eight years old
There are n good many reasons, says
the Chicago Herald, why she stays at
home from school She could not hold
her books very well If she went, and she
hates to think that she cannot do every
thing quite as well as everybody else.
For the poor little thing has no arms.
She has never had any.
The thing that Maryan most delights
in doing is to help her little brothers
and sisters get ready for school She is
very quick and full of life, and she hur-
ries around at a great rate. She makes
makes them hurry, too. She washes
their faces and combs their hair, and If
they don't stand still she knows exactly
how to give them lively little box on
the ear.
How does she do it? Why, with her
feet, of course. She laughs when peo-
pie arc astonished at that.
Maryan does not believe that hands
are one bit more useful or convenient
than feet Anyone who notices her for
awhile is usually convert to her way
of thinking, too.
She lust takes hold of n towel be-
tween her toes and she throws IL around
her little brothers neck by dextrous
twist of her supple ankle. Then she
dips her foot in the water, and she rubs
that Youngsters face till it shines again.
Then she sits back and looks at that
round, little red face, just exactly as an
artist looks at his picture to see II he
has achieved the correct effect. When
the face is as new-lool1ing and fresh as
a bran-new tin pan, Maryan gives q
queer little satisfied sigh, and patters
into the next room as fast as she can
that's pretty fast, too, by the way
When she comes out she has something
between her two first toes That some
thing is comb. She hops up to her
brother and then she sits down.
Swish! swishl goes the comb through
the thick black hair of little brother.
Splash goes the comb in the water.
Swish! again, and there's parting.
| Swishl once more, and there's beauti-
full parting.
"There, now," she says, cheerily;
| that is, if she doesn't say There now.
she means it. Surely she means IT.
| And so the little brother knows, for he
rises hastily and proceeds in business
manner to follow the fashion Of boy
kind, and get rumply and dirty-faced as
soon as he conveniently can

Human Parasites.

In South America there is a species OF
fly that lays its eggs in the body of man,
and large-sized larvD or incipient In
sects are frequently taken from under
the human skin. This dy is supposed
to lay its egg while the victim is bath
ing, as any part of the body is at

ern natives are fairly alive with larve,
which, if left to themselves, will at last
become free from their confines and de-
velop into true dipteraS.

CHECKER GOSSIP.

There is no uncertainty as to Mr. Patter-
son, of P1ttsburg, sending to Mr. Mccall the
800 to give Mr.. Wyllie. Our friend Joe Brown,
of the Reporter, trys to be funny with what
we consider a serious subject. He says: 1T
of what struck Bob.' We are prepared to
say what struck Bob" Though Mr.. Patter>
son has remained neutral in this whole con-
troversy, taking sides with none, yet his ac-
ton to all fair minded and honest gentle
men can have but one solution, and that Is
he has no sympathy with the sharp and dis
honest practice of the Chicago Club, in de-
manding from Mr.. Dunlap the forfeit money
for Reed; and the stupid action of A. j. Dun
lap for aceeding to their demands, when
neither Chicago nor Dunlap can show where
Mr.. Wyllie broke his articles OF agreement. :.

Memorial Day is the nations festival OF
remembrance, when liberty1oying anu
happy people, enjoying the blessings OF
peace and prosperity, cease from their laDors
ana with grateful hearts pay loving tribute
to the memory of brave men, who having
FINISHED their course with honor, ;" now rest
peacefully Sin the robings of glory"
since last Memorial Day many VINO were
with us then have answered eternltys ron
call, and newly-made mounds will remlnd US
that the artillery OF time is still declmatihS
our ranks.
To-day, leader and led, soldier and sailor,
sleep side by side. They who fell in the
shock and storm of battle, and those VINO
survived its carnage and afterwards lay
quietly down in the sweet fields OF peace, are
now the nations heroic dead, through whose
valor and heroism our land was kept united
and our flag maintained unsullied. Because
of them the past is full of glory and the tut
ure full of hope.
Sweet be their sleep, unfading their glory.
imperishable their fame. Spread above
them springtime's richest offerings. wave
above them the flag they loved. Let silyered
old age, standing by their tomb, feel that
with the dust of such men in our soil the
future of the Republic is safe. Let trusting
childhood weave garfands for them, and at
their graves learn lessons that will keep
and faithful to duty
Reverence for the memory of the nations
defenders will encourage in her sons and
daughters loyalty and patriotism that Will
keep her secure.
In this spirit, and for the sake of genera
tons that will suffer If our Government
should fail, let us in earnestness, sincerity
and gratitude turn to the graves of our
patriot dead; there recall their services, ex-
tol their fidelity, emulate their virtues, and
renew our vow that the nation that had q
new birth of freedom and found her redemp-
tion in the blood of half million of brave
men, shall in patient, painstaking and care
be kept true and steadfast in her march for
the emancipation of the world. Let US as
comrades give heart, thought and purpose
to the duty that devolves upon us, and when
the day closes let it be with our tribute fully
paid, our love of home and country and flag
revived, our devotion to justice and liberty
intensified, our patriotism more ardent, and
with a prayer yelling up from every heart
that the future years of the Republic may be
years OF peace, and her people ever remain
united and happy.
