THERE seems to be some reason for doubt
ing whether the new Constitution of Kentucky
will be passed when the popular vote on it is
taken. Much dissatisfaction has been aroused
by anumber of its provisions. and this dissatis-
faction is increasing rather than diminishing.
Nevertheless the necessity for altering the
Constitution now in operation is admitted,
and to reject the Constitution so soon to be
voted on would practically compel the people
of Kentucky to call a new convention. the
work Of which would probably be open to as
much criticism as the work of the convention
that recently adjourned. This anticipation is
likely to exercise an important influence in
leading majority of Kentuckians to vote for
the Constitution now before the people for
adoption.

No Price on women's Headgear.

Two men stood in front of the show
window of a Wabash avenue millinery
concern looking at the styles and guess
ing at the prices. Of course neither had
any sort Of idea about the articles on ex-
hibition. Then they went in and asked
the floor walker how near they had come
to guessing at the prices. After she had
told them one of the men asked:
why don't you put the prices on you,
goods the same as clothiers do on what
they exhibit in their windows?"
"You betray an ignorance that is par.
donable under the circumstances. Here
is hat that we sell for $3.50. Do not
faint-there are hats for women that car

put that price on the hat and displayed

Wonderful CamneIIO Dog.

example of animal sagacity l saw out in
Campello this week. AS the perform

simply demonstrated the affection dogs
will sometimes have toward horses,
will speak of the case. A groceryman
owns horse and a remarkably intelli-
gent canine, and every time the horse is
hitched to the delivery wagon and it
starts the dog is sure to follow in the
rear. In the case | refer to l noticed the
wagon stop in front of a residence, and
as soon as the driver had left the vehicle
the dog commenced to crop grass. He
got under the horses head, reared on
his hind legs and transferred the grass
to the horses mouth. Wonderful dog

Treatment of One Elton Hat.

/ 1t has been seriously proposed that
American boys shall wear Elton suits
suits that make any human boy look
like an ostrich. The Anglomaniacs will
adopt these absurd costumes for their
children, if they have excuse enough.
but there are lots of Americans who are
not Anglomaniacs. | went to school
with some. One day a lad came to
school with an Elton hat Murmurs
and whispers of surprise and disapproval
were heard when he entered, and looks
full OF meaning passed from boy to boy
AT III o'clock came recess. and precise
ly at ten seconds past II there was a
riot. That was the moment when the
lad appeared with his little plug" hat
on. He was quiet, shrinking boy, and
! ptied him from the bottom of my
heart, for his parents were to blame of
course. Directly that he set foot in the
yard he was seized, pulled this way and
that, tripped up and despoiled Of his hat
That article went Immediately. into use

had become shred Of black beaver and

boy went home bareheaded and in tears.

Married the Family.

A story of u Florida man who married
three wives from one family is going the
rounds as something remarkable, but
there was family in Maine consisting
of six girls, and of the six three married
men named Bickwell, three married to
the name of Young, one married Liver
more and one never was married. An
other paradoxical feature is that there
were only five husbands in all
The explanation is that two of the
Bickwells died, leaving widows, and
Mr.: Young, who had two of the sisters
before, took one of the widows. Then
MIR. Livermore took the other. So that
there were seven weddings in the fam
lily, and only five men and five women
concerned in them. Mr.. Young had lost
one wife before he began on this family.

: Blacksmith Ed Keough lately had

the Holyoke Paper company's mill The
machinery was out of gear, and in order
to fix it Keough got inside big wheel
The machinery was stopped, and he had
given orders that it should not be

He was at work inside the wheel when
the machinery started. The steam had
been turned on by man who thought
that was the thing to do, Mr. Keough
was tossed about pretty lively in the
wheel where he was at work for a reyo-
luton or two. and then the momentum
threw him out. He landed on wide
belt that travels along near the floor for
a distance of sixty feet before passing
around big pulley. Keough was car
ried along toward certain destruction.
Had the belt been travelling in the op-
posite direction he would have been
crushed between it and wheel before
he had been on it an instant He almost
reached the wheel toward which he was
rapidly going, when his struggles tipped
the belt little and he fell off At this
point he did not fall on the floor, but
went down considerable distance. land

Mans Two Reputations.

l am always interested lin what may
be called the two regulations which each
man has; one is his public pane, the
other his personal or private eminence;
the one is the distinction which he has
among people, the other the regard paid
to him by his own immediate set or fol-
lowing. Archdeacon Farrar has a great
reputation among the ordinary people of
America and Great Britain, but scholars
look upon him with much Of suspicion
as an accurate and profound exegete.
Bishop Westcott, however, has small
reputation among the people. Probably
not one in twenty of those who read this
paragraph ever heard his name, but the
respect in which he is held by scholars is
of the highest. Advance.

DisIiles Elevators.

It is popularity of Mr.. Clarence A.
Seward, president of the Union club,
that he will never ride on the elevated
road. He prefers the conservative street
car, and when the street cars are not
running he walks. Mr.. Seward also has
an aversion to passenger elevators in tall
buildings. 1t is said by some of his
closest friends that the only elevator that
he will trust himself in is the one in the
Union club. His Office in Nassau street
is on the third floor, and there he walks
up and down stairs.-New York Times.
